Chosen for churches | World Vision UK

I Choose You is a powerful message of God's love

Chosen is a brand-new event, supporting your church and congregation’s overseas mission. This is Child Sponsorship with a twist – giving vulnerable children the chance to choose.

Choice is dignity, empowerment, the chance to have a say in your own future. Many vulnerable children have no choices in their day-to-day lives – poverty has taken that away from them. You can give it back. For the first time, Chosen puts the power to choose a sponsor into the hands of the child.

Our team would love to talk to you about how a Chosen event works, and if it might be right for your church. Please call us today on 01908 84 10 10, email churches@worldvision.org.uk, or fill out the form below.

Bring Chosen to your church

We support you every step of the way to bring the opportunity to be part of Chosen to your congregation. We provide powerful resources including sermon notes, videos and case studies as well as support from our team, so that you can invite your church family to put themselves forward as sponsors.

Then, at a special party, children in one of our communities will be able to choose their sponsors – uniting your community with theirs.

Dave Richards

Minister at St Pauls and St Georges Church in Edinburgh, first UK Chosen church

Dave's church was the first in the UK to run a Chosen event. He said, "Knowing that through being Chosen we have been part of empowering children to learn that they are loved and valued has transformed our congregation. We’re so excited to see what happens now these children are empowered with choices that can create change in their families and communities. My encouragement to any church leaders who are considering taking part in Chosen is this: Not only will God bring about change in the community that you help to sponsor, but God will change you, and God will change your church."
