World Vision, founded in the United States in 1951, is an international Christian relief and development organization whose stated goal is "to follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God." Working on six continents, World Vision is one of the largest Christian relief and development organizations in the world with a 1.6 billion dollar budget (2007). The group’s total revenue, including grants, product and foreign donations is $2.6 billion (2008).

History

World Vision was founded in 1951 by Dr. Robert Pierce ("Bob"), a young pastor and evangelical missionary, who had first been sent to China and South Korea in 1947 by the Youth for Christ missionary organization. Pierce remained at the head of World Vision for nearly two decades, but resigned from the organization in 1967. Pierce also founded the evangelical organization Samaritan's Purse.

The first area that World Vision focused on was orphans and other children in need, beginning in South Korea, then expanding throughout Asia. Today, they operate in more than 90 countries, focusing on larger issues of community development and advocacy for the poor towards the end of helping poor children and their families build a sustainable future.

What do you get in the first package with World Vision?
Q. I have just purchased a sponsor child through World Vision (Canada). I got an e-mail that said a World Vision Package would be here in two weeks. I'm just wondering if anybody has had a sponsor child through World Vision Canada and if they could tell me what you get in the first package.

Sending a Christimas present to a sponsored child through World Vision?
Q. I have sponsored a child though World Vision, and I can't seem to find on their website the directions for sending the children Christmas presents. Any help and instructions are appreciated.

A. They don't encourage sending things directly to the child, for various reasons. One is that not everyone celebrates Christmas. Another is that there is no guarantee that the gift will reach the child -- it is more apt to be stolen before it gets anywhere near the child. Another is that it may cause problems for the family if one child gets a gift and others don't. So...contact World Vision directly and ask them about sending a gift to your child. Or, they have a "giving catalogue" on their web site, so you could purchase a gift from there in honor of your sponsored child.
