Christ’s Care for Children: Kenya

Double your gift for a limited time

June 13, 2025 — Thanks to the generosity of a faithful donor, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is excited to offer a special matching opportunity for new sponsors of LCMS’ first child sponsorship program, Christ’s Care for Children: Kenya. For a limited time, your sponsorship commitment will be matched, covering half the cost for the first two years.

This means you get to build a relationship with a vulnerable student in Kenya, praying for them, exchanging letters with them and watching them grow in their faith of Jesus Christ. Through your sponsorship, they will reside at one of our Project 24 facilities while attending school and church, receiving food, spacious shelter, an education and most importantly, spiritual guidance and Lutheran Catechesis.

Now is the perfect time to become a sponsor and help transform a life.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 14 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors. Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
