- How is my contribution of $20/month used?
One hundred percent of Sponsor A Child (SAC) donations go into the India Fund, from which all Bethania children are supported. The children’s living needs of food, housing, clothing, education, transportation, and medical care are provided for using these funds.
- What makes “unlinked SAC” different from “linked SAC”?
You may choose to donate in the amount of $20/month towards the care of an “unnamed” child. Your donation will still benefit the Bethania Kids at all of the locations. We greatly appreciate all sponsors, but we especially appreciate that our administrative costs are lower for unlinked sponsors.
- Will I receive any information about my sponsored child?
You may choose to be linked to a specific child for prayer when you sign up with SAC. If you make this request, you will receive updates on your child and his or her community twice a year. Be sure to indicate that you want to be connected with a specific child for prayer when you enroll in SAC.
- Is it appropriate to send letters and gifts to my sponsored child?
There are many reasons why we cannot allow individual correspondence between sponsors and children. The primary reason is that unless we received letters addressed to every child at the home, we could not distribute letters to some and not all children. Along the same lines, we prefer that gifts are not sent to individual children, though a group gift may be coordinated with the SAC team.
- Can I visit him or her?
If you are planning a trip to India or would like to join a group going to Bethania Kids, we encourage you to contact our office. We can help you to get connected. We request that you visit with all of the children, and not single out the child you have sponsored. (This will not be difficult to do as you will find that the collective love of the children is overwhelming!)
- What is the duration of my commitment?
We welcome your involvement in SAC for as long as you wish. You are free to tell us how you would like to give (i.e., monthly/yearly, electronic/check, one year/ongoing). One year after you enroll in SAC, we will remind you that your renewal date is approaching.
