Are you interested in hosting an orphan and changing a life forever? Have you been thinking about adoption or just can’t get that longing in your heart to go away. Please consider hosting a child this Christmas and sharing your life with them. There are so many incredible kids wanting to come to America in hopes of finding their “Forever Family”. You many not be moved to adopt one but you can be their advocate and help find them a family where they will be loved and fit forever. Through the lives of some amazing people who hosted Aleks and New Horizons for Children who provided the opportunity, we are able to have Aleks as part of our family forever….and forever our lives will be changed for the better.
Christmas Hosting Signup is Officially Open!
If you are new to hosting, please review our website at www.newhorizonsforchildren.org. Under the heading of HOSTING, you’ll find both our pre-application and our required full application. Hosting is approximately 4 weeks, mid-December to mid-January. Signup remains open until approximately November 2nd. To review the available orphans, visit http://www.newhorizonsforchildren.org/horizons/prephoto.html. Submit your information to be directed to the photo listing. Submitting your information will ensure you stay informed of the latest news regarding Christmas hosting. Call our office to place a child on hold, 678-574-4677.
Program Sponsors:
Every single orphan on our list needs a $250 program sponsor. If you cannot host, consider selecting a child, or multiple children, from the list to be their $250 program sponsor! This is great for families - place your selected child on your refrigerator and begin praying for them by name. It’s also wonderful for businesses that wish to direct philanthropic efforts to assist orphans.
Scholarships Needed:
Scholarships are particularly helpful in placing sibling groups and other special needs children. Please consider offering a larger financial gift to help offset hosting costs for some of our most special kids!
Bible Sponsor:
We are seeking an individual or company willing to be our Christmas bible sponsor. This donor will provide a bible in each hosted child’s native language. There is no greater gift than God’s word.
Hosting Locations:
Children are allowed to be hosted nation-wide! If you are outside of one of our main program areas, you will need to travel to one of our mandatory training dates. You also may be required to travel to one of the main airports to pickup your hosted child. Those are the two main issues affecting families outside our main program areas, otherwise, children can be placed nationwide, so give us a call!
Order Christmas Shirts Now:
Help advertise the program in your area. Order one of our red, long-sleeved Christmas hosting t-shirts that all the host kids arrive wearing! Both child and adult sizes are available. Shirts are $15 each. Email us for an order form. (Or, if hosting, you will find one in the application posted online)
