What a Difference a Sponsor Makes

This family of five in desperate need came to Lifeline in hopes of receiving help. As God would have it the very evening they came, a heart-felt man happened to be visiting at Mission Lifeline and took it upon his heart to sponsor not one, not two, not even three, but the whole family. It was the mother’s hope and desire that her children could attend school. That was her original request as she approached the Lifeline School’s director, Sentil. He quickly worked to make calculations as to what it would cost to allow four of the school-age children to attend. They needed uniforms, registration fees, and the yearly school fee. Thankfully this man along with kids from his Detroit inner-city youth program stepped up to the plate to provide the needs for this special family. What divine timing God had that night. Here is what the family looked like before sponsorship.



This is the children in their school uniforms now that they’re able to attend school.
Today this is children and their mother coming to church (wearing their new clothes that the team from Ohio just left!)
What a difference their sponsor made in the lives of this poverty-stricken family. It’s a blessing for us to watch the transformation that takes place when a giving heart makes the wonderful decision to support and help a family such as this one.
