What is a Champion
Thank you for your interest in the Champions for Children program sponsored by Bethany Christian Services. The world is in the middle of an orphan crisis unlike any before, and there are no easy answers. However, we know that God has called the Church to engage the world in bringing hope to the hopeless.
Bethany’s desire is to give you and your church the tools and resources you need to help you address this worldwide crisis. One person cannot solve this incredible problem alone. However, if we each do our part, we can make a positive difference. As you review this information, we ask that you prayerfully consider the level of involvement that you and your church would consider.
What is the goal of the Champions for Children program?
When a person becomes a Champion, he/she is agreeing to partner with Bethany Christian Services and his/her church to meet the needs of children without families, whether those children live around the corner or around the world.
Each Church Champion will approach this goal differently. Some will create a full range of opportunities for church members to participate in this ministry, while others will focus on just a few ways to engage their congregations.
There are also three levels of commitment from which to choose—and each level is of equal importance. Individual circumstances will dictate at which level an individual or church can become involved. Over time, a person can move to other levels as circumstances change.
Level 1 - Praying and Sharing Information
Level 2 - Praying, Sharing Information, and Giving
Level 3 - Praying, Sharing Information, Giving, and Starting or Working in an Orphan/Adoption Ministry within a Church
