It provides child sponsorships in Armenia and Karabagh. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since its independence in 1991, Armenia has suffered from an earthquake, war, an economic blockade, unemployment, inflation, and shortages of electricity and water. One result of these calamities is a large population of impoverished children.<\/p>\n<p>To assist with the needs of children, Global Ministries Child Sponsorship program supports children through the Armenian Missionary Association of America. Sponsored children live in twenty-six villages in Armenia and four in Karabagh.

The children\u2019s spiritual life is nurtured by holiday programs, vacation Bible schools, and summer camps.<\/p>\n<p>One child wrote to her Global Ministries child sponsor: \u201cI am glad that I again write you a letter as through it I communicate with you and draw your kind face in my soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additional funds are needed by the Armenian Missionary Association of America over and above individual child sponsorships in order to support additional children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/child_sponsorship\"><em>Learn more about Global Ministries Child and Elder Sponsorship Program<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[20051,20022],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Armenian Child Sponsorship Centers - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Armenian Child Sponsorship Centers - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Armenia Read a story about a child in the Armenian Missionary Association of America Child sponsorship program &#8211; Overcoming Difficult Times: A Story from AMAA Child Sponsorship The Armenian Missionary Association of America is the missionary arm of the Armenian &hellip; Read more\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-01-27T12:58:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/\",\"name\":\"Armenian Child Sponsorship Centers - Global Ministries\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-12-24T05:50:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-01-27T12:58:07+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/armenian_child_sponsorship\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Projects\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/projects\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Armenian Child Sponsorship Centers\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/\",\"name\":\"Global Ministries\",\"description\":\"Global Ministries is a common missional witness of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ.
