Contributed by Laura Walls “[Jesus] took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, ‘Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.’ ” - Mark 9:36–37 The word "ambassador" comes from the Latin root for the word "servant." As Child Ambassadors, we are privileged with the chance to serve the Lord by advocating for children through World Vision! But while we are familiar with representing World Vision child sponsorship to our churches and communities, this ministry actually goes deeper than the surface of presenting an invitation to sponsor a child. While on the Vision Trip in Nicaragua in 2016, we had the opportunity to have devotions with the World Vision staff. Dr. Carlos, a Health Specialist, shared these thoughts with us: "In the gospels, Jesus tells us of his superior love for the children. They are weak and simple. So, too, we are to be clean in spirit and humble in spirit like the children. In Luke 9:46-50, Jesus says that those who receive a child in His name, receive Him. In this context, the children are our ambassadors into the kingdom of heaven." "In Luke 9:46-50, Jesus says that those who receive a child in His name, receive Him. In this context, the children are our ambassadors into the kingdom of heaven." As Dr. Carlos explains, the very act of receiving and sponsoring a child out of love for Christ, gives our friends and family the opportunity to receive and welcome Christ! We may not be able to fully grasp how that works, but we can rest in the knowledge that we are creating connections that go beyond this physical world. Through child sponsorship, we are weaving connections between the sponsor, a child, and our Heavenly Father. What an incredible calling it is to be a Child Ambassador and serve as a bridge to help people do something significantly dear to God's heart - welcome and receive a vulnerable child living in extreme poverty and share Christ's love with them.
