Child Sponsorship
Children’s Cup was founded in 1992 by long time missionaries - Dave and Jean Ohlerking. God gave them a dream to reach out to hurting and forgotten children in the hard places of the world to offer them hope. As Dave would say, “Hope’s name is Jesus.”
This vision has led Children’s Cup to focus heavily on southern Africa and Latin America where poverty is tearing apart families, communities, and even entire nations. Our goal is to help children to grow to be holistically healthy and to give them hope in Jesus that will enable them to become world changers!

Our strategy in giving hope is simple, yet effective.
We provide the necessities and skills needed to thrive, but most of all we provide children the opportunity to learn about Christ

Cup Stories
Overcoming Fear
So, we stepped out with more questions than answers, shaking in our shoes but with a determination to be obedient to God’s plan for us.
Family
Our sponsored children may be "family" picked from a website or sponsorship card, but it is my prayer for everyone to know how real of a person is on the other end.
A Sponsorship Story
After learning their sponsored girl moved away, Josh and Amber can't stop sharing about what happened next.
More stories around the world that impact you.
There are so many more stories from all across the world of lives impacted and transformed. Your investment and involvement changes the lives of children and their families.
Fit for Missions
There’s Nothing Like Being There
A missions trip will not only give you a chance to see what your support of Children’s Cup is accomplishing, but it will change your life forever. Guaranteed. Our founder Dave Ohlerking used to tell people, “Once you go to Africa, you’ll go back in your mind every day.” He said that because it’s true. It gets in you. There’s something special about holding an orphan, and knowing that you’re actually doing the things that are needed to not just keep him alive, but to give him hope of a bright future.
Honduras
Calling all people looking to invest in world changers in Honduras! Join this trip to love on children at the CarePoints, minister to families in the communities, and encourage the staff / missionaries at the CarePoints. This is going to be a trip you will never forget.
Mexico
We sometimes take getting an education for granted here in the states, but that’s not the case in other countries. In Mexico, some kids have to drop out early to help take care of their family or because they don’t have the necessities to attend. Join us as we help prepare the kids in Mexico for the best school year they have ever experienced! We want to hand out school supplies, uniforms, hugs and high-fives!
