The Living Room Community Church Visit
August 2024
The Living Room Community Church came to Youth Camp 2024!
A team of teens and adults from The Living Room Community Church in Kennewick Washington traveled to Rwanda for the Youth Camp in Muhanga.
This transformative camp, representing a collaborative effort between Eden’s Child and Eden Temple International, empowered Eden’s Child youth through education, personal development, and spiritual enrichment.
The youth camp offered a dynamic platform for our sponsored children to grow and thrive. Through a diverse array of activities and workshops, participants cultivated leadership skills, delved into educational topics, and deepened their spiritual understanding.
Engaging educational workshops were held – covering various themes such as time management, entrepreneurship, children’s rights, and career guidance. These sessions were tailored to equip our sponsored children with practical skills and knowledge for personal and professional success.
Beyond workshops, Youth Focus 2024 featured sports, artistic expression through traditional dance and talent shows, and opportunities for spiritual growth through morning devotions and evening entertainment. In this supportive environment, we inspired participants to pursue excellence and create positive change in their communities.
Attendees, parents, and staff leaders all agreed that the camp was a resounding success! Read more about the Camp in this downloadable Report.
Sponsorship Program Elements
Education
Health & Wellness
Sponsorship provides medical insurance for not only the sponsored child, but their entire family. Children and their families learn about personal hygiene and are given monthly supplies of soap and lotion. The soap is multi-purpose and used for bathing, washing clothes and dishes.
Discipleship
Sponsored children and their families attend Eden Temple International Church where they learn about the love of Jesus. Children also attend Saturday Bible Connect to learn more about Jesus, the Bible, and share a meal of porridge together.
Special Projects in our Sponsored Communities
Donations go directly to programs such as building and equipping medical centers in the villages, and support technical training for adults through sewing/tailoring and construction schools. The technical courses teach individuals skills that allow them to become self-sustaining in earning an income to support their families.
Giving Hope
Research has shown that people living in poverty must be explicitly taught that there is hope of a brighter future. Sponsorship does just that. Be the hands and feet of Jesus by giving hope to a child.
