  I Am the Gate

  Gates have long symbolised security and controlled access - think of London’s Admiralty Arch, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, or Traitors’ Gate at the Tower of London. But gates aren’t just historic landmarks; they represent protection, direction, and the choice of who or what enters.

  Throughout history, false teachers and religions have pulled people away from God. But Jesus doesn’t mince His words. He calls them thieves and robbers. His true sheep know His voice and won’t be led astray. A good shepherd leads his flock through the gate - Jesus Himself - because there’s no other way into His kingdom.

  Paul told believers to imitate him as he imitated Christ. So, who are we following? And who’s following us? We need to make sure the people we look up to are actually pointing us to Jesus and that we’re doing the same for those who look to us. If our eyes are fixed on Christ, we won’t get sidetracked by human wisdom, culture, or feelings that go against God’s truth.

  Jesus is the Gate. Those who enter through Him find safety and green pastures - real life, real peace, real security. The thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus gives life to the full, not in earthly riches, but in hope, love and purpose.

  Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our hearts, because everything we do flows from them. Our eyes and ears are gateways to our souls, shaping what we believe and desire. What we take in, what we watch, listen to, and dwell on, shapes us. The world normalises things that pull us away from holiness. Are we really looking to Jesus for truth, or are we letting worldly ideas creep in?

  So let’s fix our eyes on Him and enter through the Gate - Jesus Himself - our only way to salvation and true life.

  Jesus calls us to enter through Him, the Gate, into true life - life in all its fullness (John 10:10). But many around the world still struggle to experience that hope. Through WorldShare’s 10:10 Partner programme, you can help bring the abundant life Jesus promised to those in need. Your monthly gift of at least £10 supports Christian partners worldwide, like the High Priest Academy in Ghana, which provides education to impoverished children, or Wakisa Ministries in Uganda, offering refuge to young pregnant girls.

Children Available to Sponsor

Support ChildAid

FAQs

• Where does the money go?

  The cost per child is £25 per month, payable through direct debit, cheque or credit card. Sponsorship money is sent to the ministry partner supporting your child and is used for the benefit of all the children in the scheme. This ensures the money is not misused.

• How long is my commitment?

  You are free to end your sponsorship at any time by letting us know, and in those cases, we endeavour to ensure the child is sponsored from the general fund until a new sponsor is found for them.

• What contact can I have with my sponsored child?

  We aim to provide at least two letters per year from your child, one of which will be a Christmas greeting. You can write to your child at anytime (not including personal details), but please note that all outgoing and incoming correspondence is monitored by our staff as a security precaution. Your letters will be translated before being given to your child.

• Can I send gifts my sponsored child?

  Due to cost and postage difficulties, we are unable to send physical gifts to sponsored children. We have a gift fund which provides all of the children, whether sponsored or awaiting sponsorship, with a gift for their birthday and Christmas every year, which we invite you to donate to. Just head to the Sponsor’s Area.

• Can groups sponsor a child?

  Yes. We have Sunday schools, youth groups, school and church groups sponsoring children. If you need multiple copies of your sponsored child's information, please let us know.

• What happens when my sponsored child leaves the programme?

  Children are sponsored until they complete their secondary school education, unless they leave for other reasons, and most of them go on to paid employment or further studies. Where possible, we will provide you with information on where your sponsored child will be going once they have left. We can then offer you the opportunity to sponsor another child.
