Children come to The Children’s Village at Christian City residential program struggling to make sense of a childhood gone terribly wrong.  Abused, abandoned and crushed in spirit, they long for a reason to smile again.  The VIP Host Program (child mentoring) is a special tool to help restore and encourage these kids.  The program supplements the loving care our children receive at the Children’s Village with even more healthy, warm, and functional family experiences...within the safety of an approved host family. 

The VIP Host Program offers personal contact with a child on a regularly scheduled basis. VIP Host families act as a resource for children who could benefit from additional family interaction apart from their home at The Children’s Village. Click the video at the right to hear from a VIP Host couple. Prerequisites for potential sponsors to be enrolled as a VIP Host family include the following:
