Ministry CarePoints
Caring for the AIDS-affected child means far more than just providing a warm meal, school books, or just telling a child that, “Jesus loves you.” Instead, it means considering each aspect of a child’s developmental needs: educational, physical, spiritual and emotional, and then providing solutions to address those problems.
Through Christ’s Hope International’s Ministry CarePoints we provide the life changing care, message of hope and continuous community support required to meet these needs!
What is a Ministry CarePoint?
A Ministry CarePoint is a strategically located center within a community that has a high AIDS infection rate. Our Ministry CarePoints provide a place where children can receive the material and spiritual care they need. In doing so, this ensures that orphaned and vulnerable children can live with an extended family member or in a foster family
Our Strategy
Our comprehensive Ministry CarePoint model is concise: Ministry CarePoint Champions facilitate the launch of a new CarePoint through their financial support. A Church Partner steps forward and supports the CarePoint through prayer, advocacy, and sending teams to help at the CarePoint. Child Sponsors support each child who attends the CarePoint. Our model allows everyone to play a part in sustaining the CarePoint.
How Do We Know The System Works?
Each CarePoint must meet Christ’s Hope International’s standards of effective care as measured through outcome evaluations. The following program attributes are assessed at each Ministry CarePoint.
