World Vision - Building a Better World for Children
Who We Are The Artist Associate program consists of a community of artists/speakers/performers just like you who are committed to ongoing investment of time and energy so that more of the world's children will have access to the resources they need to reach their -given potential. Artist Associates encourage others to become child sponsors by promoting a global understanding that motivates compassion and generosity toward children, families, and communities living in poverty.
An Artist Associate speaks out on behalf of those who have no voice...the poor, the marginalized, and the oppressed living in impoverished communities around the world. You become their voice--their advocate. By sharing during performances/appearances, you can help people in your audience understand both the desperate need and the wonderful news that they can make a difference through child sponsorship.
Artist Associates is a true partnership between you and World Vision. Through your willingness to be the voice of the poor to your audience, you are helping World Vision to accomplish it's goals of bringing hope to those that would not otherwise have hope. In return, World Vision supports your ministry in an effort to help you continue reaching more people with your message. We believe that when we support and build-up your efforts, we will see more and more children sponsored around the world.
If you are interested in learning more about being a World Vision Artist Associate, please contact us by sending an email with your contact information to aainfo@worldvision.org . Thank you for visiting our site and considering a partnership to serve the poor around the world.
Proverbs 28:27 (NIV)
