Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me… (Matt. 25:40)

HHK WMC launched the COJ ministry in 1996 by providing education to 55 children living in Santiago, Dominican Republic.  Then, in 1997, we had an opportunity to start our first feeding ministry in Costa Rica, relieving the suffering s of 30 hunger-stricken children.  However, it was in 1998 that our ministry expanded to be what it is today: By God’s grace, we were able to launch COJ child sponsorship programs in three cities of Peru (Lima, Arequipa, Cusco). Hundreds of children were cared for for the very first time  and thousands more came to know Christ through COJ’s newly found ministry directions.

Another ministry breakthrough occurred in 2005 when we held our first [Peru to Christ] Children’s Crusade in Lima. With more than 500 registered churches and 41,000 children attending, we were able to deliver the message of the cross to the multitudes of Peru. The  motto of the 2005 crusade was  “Love and Friendship” and HHK missionaries spoke on the fellowship we have with God and each other through Jesus Christ. God has truly blessed the COJ ministry over the years and our sole purpose is to continue serving the children with the passionate love of the Father.

[Children of Jesus] is aimed to assist poor and needy children with education, food, and basic medical care. Our goal is to bring 150,000 children to Christ through love and prayer.

What [Children of Jesus] Does  

[Children of Jesus] sends children to schools

K-12 education is generally free for our children, but most schools require them to wear uniforms and bring their own school supplies. COJ gives school uniforms, writing utensils, and shoes to children who cannot afford such things and so cannot attend school. By doing so, we help poor children to receive standard K-12 education with their peers.

[Children of Jesus] delivers food and the Word of God to sponsored children

COJ sponsors  Sunday School feeding programs and provides Bible Study resources for affiliated churches. We help children receive physical and spiritual nourishment through the local churches.

[Children of Jesus] matches children with caring sponsors

COJ children are matched with sponsors from all over the world. Sponsor matching programs allow the benefactors and the beneficiaries of COJ to be blessed alike, as they share prayer requests and Jesus’ love through letter correspondences.

[Children of Jesus] leads other children to local churches

COJ partners with local churches in sponsored regions in order to reach out to more children who need Jesus and also desire COJ’s help. COJ gives children opportunities to grow in their love and the knowledge of God by working closely with local churches.
