A woman visits Kenya, and a little boy runs up to her and throws his arms around her waist. A brilliant smile lights up his face. She’s prayed for him every night for two years, but they’ve never met. Child sponsorship takes on a new meaning in that moment. It changes from pictures, letters and monthly checks to a flesh-and-blood, beautiful boy called Peter. He refuses to let go of her hand all day.

When people announce that they’re visiting Kenya for the first time, others who have been before will warn them of something that commonly happens.

You’ll leave your heart there.

Visiting Kenya and meeting the sponsored child God has chosen for your family transforms the hearts of all who experience it. Some have described it this way: “I experienced unconditional love” and “It was so much more than I imagined.” We can guarantee you’ll gain a brand-new perspective on God’s love for orphans … and for you.
