Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity to reflect on God’s love and to share that love with others. As a partner with Children’s HopeChest, you already know the power of showing love to children in need, but this Valentine’s Day, we want to offer you three meaningful ways to deepen your impact and continue spreading the love of Christ to children and communities around the world.
Your ongoing support has already made an incredible difference, and through these simple yet powerful actions, you can continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the lives of those we serve.
1. Write a Heartfelt Letter to Your HopeChest Friend
One of the most personal and impactful ways to show God’s love is through a letter. Children’s HopeChest encourages you to write to your sponsored child this Valentine’s Day. Your words of encouragement, prayers, and kindness are an invaluable source of hope for a child in need. A letter from you reminds them that they are not forgotten, that they are deeply loved by both you and by God.
In your letter, consider sharing Scripture or a prayer that speaks to God’s love and faithfulness. Let them know that you are praying for them and that God has great plans for their life. In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Your partnership is helping children discover that hope and future in Christ, and these letters are a tangible way to share God’s love and to build a relationship that reflects His heart for the children we serve.
2. Pray for Your HopeChest Friend and Their Community
Prayer is a powerful way to partner with God in His work. As you think about the children and communities supported through Children’s HopeChest, take time to pray for their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Ask God to bless them with health, safety, and hope for the future.
Additionally, pray for the local church and community leaders who are working on the ground in these areas. Their dedication to serving and providing care reflects Christ’s love, and your prayers can strengthen them as they continue their important work.
Pray specifically for:
- The children’s safety, health, and spiritual growth.
- The community’s continued development and provision.
- The church’s ability to share the love of Christ effectively.
- Your fellow sponsors, that they will be encouraged and inspired to continue their support.
3. Support a Special Project or Fundraiser to Impact More Children
This Valentine’s Day, consider taking your support a step further by contributing to a special project or fundraising effort. The work we do at HopeChest extends far beyond sponsorship. One way you can help is by participating in or organizing a fundraiser within your church or community, or give where needed most below! Encourage your friends and family to get involved by sharing the love of Christ through these projects. Every donation, no matter the size, directly impacts the children and communities we serve.
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we are reminded of the depth of God’s love for us—a love that is unconditional, sacrificial, and everlasting. Through your partnership with Children’s HopeChest, you are already living out that love by serving vulnerable children and families. Whether through writing letters, praying, or partnering with a vulnerable community overseas, these acts of love have the power to change lives, offering children the hope and future they deserve.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the children we serve. May this Valentine’s Day be a reminder that your love and commitment reflect Christ’s heart for the world. Together, we are making an eternal impact.
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💖
