At Origin Church, the “win” for us is defined as a changed-life. Part of our DNA will be affecting lives through world missions. We want to begin this from the get-go, even in our infancy stage as a church plant, and set the tone early for generosity. Today, we announce two opportunities for you to make an impact and change a life of someone less fortunate than yourself.
1. The Thomas Factor– We ask you to consider helping change India for Christ through a church-plant mission. Our church can open a thriving church in India for $7,000. Feel free to give online or by check and designate “India.”
2. World-Vision Children– For every $30 given each month, you can personally sponsor a child. 
As a child sponsor, you are connected with one special child who will know your name, write to you and feel your tender love and prayers. Your child sponsorship monthly pledge of $30 will provide a child with things such as clean water, nutritious food, health care, educational opportunities, and spiritual nurturing. Once again, feel free to give online or by check and designate “World Vision.” We will take care of setting up the details for you and we will send you all the pertinent information.
A great supporter of World Vision is AIDtoCHILDREN.com.
AIDtoCHILDREN.com is a dual-purpose site for building an English
vocabulary and raising money for under privileged children in the most
impoverished places around the world.

We have a sponsored child through World Vision who has the same birthdate as one of my children. That connection has been instrumental in helping my own kids understand what we are doing by sponsoring him. They draw pictures and send him notes when I send letters and his photo stays on the bulletin board in our school room. It is a fantastic ministry!
