04/07/2008 | World Vision is a great way to make an impact in someone's life.
Pictures, letters, and "progress reports" are sent to the child's sponsor.
My wife and I are sponsoring a little girl in Sierra Leon and it is very rewarding to know that we have a part in taking care of the precious little child of God.

08/06/2005 | I recently met an executive or other high-level employee of World Vision, and I was not impressed by the organization's way of spending money. The woman loved high-class items wherever she went, whether it be fancy hotel rooms, fancy restaurants and stuff like that. She did not seem devoted at all to helping the poor, she refused to even go to Africa! She scoffed at donors who wouldn't take her to high-class restaurants. If this woman is representative of the whole organization, I will never give a dime to World Vision. She's pretty high up there, she apparently handled millions from individual donors. I'm insulted to believe that my money might be going to pay for an expensive lunch, and not for a month's worth of food in Niger. You're better off FedExing canned Chunky soup than giving money to charities...

06/03/2005 | Organization does good work, but it's sad that taking action has to be justified by one's love of Christ. Why can't humanitarian relief work be done simply because helping the needy is the right thing to do. Would they still do it if they didn't have their bibles?

04/02/2002 | I like the fact that our money goes a lot further in the nations World Vision sends it to than it does here. We don't have to have a lot to help a lot. I also love the idea of actually putting action behind our Christianity. Instead of just talking about it, we can demonstrate what the love of Christ is all about in a practical way.
