Change Two Lives

The differences between sponsored students at Mustard Seed Academy and those who are not may seem small. But to the needy children, having a sponsor means a lot. A caring adult thinks you are special. You are worthy of being appreciated and encouraged. There is power in knowing that you are loved. Having a sponsor may also mean a glimpse into a far-away world and a sense of security. Sponsors are encouraged to write to their students twice a year. Representatives of RPU can deliver them and bring back replies along with photos and reports. Suggestions for writing can be found by clicking here.

When students write to their sponsors saying “I love you so much,” they are not being glib. They are truly grateful. You may be the only constant person in their lives–the only one who encourages them in their big dreams.

On the sponsor’s side, Francis of Assisi said it well: “For it is in giving that we receive.” One of our oldest sponsors proclaimed to her church, “I feel for the first time in my life, I’m making a real difference in a child’s life.”
