Arise with hope. Join Jesus in lifting children.
‘Talitha Cumi’
Taking her by the hand he said to her, ‘Talitha cumi,’ which means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, arise.’ - Mark 5:41 (ESV)
In Mark 5, Jesus does not speak hope from a distance. He enters the room, takes a child by the hand and speaks life where hope seemed lost. Talitha Cumi—“Little girl, arise”—reveals the heart of Christ: drawing near to vulnerability, restoring dignity and awakening hope. When you sponsor a child, you are not simply giving—you are joining Jesus in His movement of restoration.
In this way, you echo His life-giving work today.
Step into the story: a child rises, hope multiplies
When hope comes alive in a child, families are strengthened, communities flourish and futures are transformed. Sponsor a child and walk alongside Jesus as this hope unfolds—just like it did for Justine.
Hope through the eyes of sponsors
What we’re built on
Every child rises on a strong foundation. These three distinctives are at the heart of everything we do, shaping how hope unfolds for children, their families and communities.
