I wasn’t sure whether or not this would be your philosophy, but I’m so relieved to hear that it is, as it makes me feel much better about being a sponsor. I know many Christians wish to propagate their faith, but in developing countries, in the past, treating non-Christians with respect wasn’t the norm in so many places, and it did much harm, as I’m sure you know. Please be assured that there are sponsors who have deep appreciation for those who humbly serve the poor in the spirit of Christ, without telling them they should abandon the faith of their ancestors.

CFCA was founded by lay Catholics, and our work with people living in poverty is motivated by and based on Catholic social teaching.

Our organization maintains Christian values as its core and as our guiding principles. Our main focus is on serving the poor, and while we will certainly offer the teachings of Christ to those who seek them, we also respect the beliefs and cultural traditions of our sponsored members of all faiths.

Thank you,
~Sponsor Services

Does the program works towards spreading (or in some cases, introducing) the gospel? If so, how?
Thank you for your response.
