Timothy is one of the sponsored children at Gateway and sweet Kareen shares of the impact sponsorship has had on her!:)
Kareen shares, "Sponsoring a child through His Love and SonShine Ministry is one way I can obey God’s commandment to love, encourage, and give to a child in need. I believe the most important thing I can do for my sponsored child (Timothy) is to pray for him and his family. Timothy is from Uganda where Christian persecution is on the rise. And so I pray for him and his family’s protection and for the teachers and students at his school. James 5:16 says, “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availed much.” I believe this with all my heart! I count it a privilege to pray for Timothy, his family, and for his school and home. That God will provide for them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That He will meet all of their needs. I’ve only been sponsoring Timothy for a few months, but it brings me joy to receive letters and updates on his progress and to see him grow and to know that he’s learning and doing well in school and that God is taking care of him. I am blessed to be able to be a part of the wonderful work God is doing in his life. Kareen Van Deman Child Sponsor His Love and Sonshine Ministry"

Rachel GuyWhen Rachel Guy was in elementary school, she was fascinated by children in African countries; her heart was particularly drawn to children who had been orphaned. At the age of twelve, the country of Uganda became the focus of Rachel’s interest and concern when a close family friend, Nancy Wellham, invited her to join her on a mission’s trip there. It was on this trip that Rachel visited Gateway Nursery and Primary school and fell in love with the people there. Four years ago, Rachel was shocked when she was invited to start a ministry for the school. With humility and gratitude, she said, “Yes” to this unlikely adventure with God. Archives
