EUGENE, Ore., Oct. 22, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- During the upcoming Winter Jam Christian music tour, Holt International Children's Services and Christian artist group NewSong will come together to advocate for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children around the world! At every concert, NewSong will encourage concertgoers to sponsor a child through Holt. While the tour will continue through the spring, Holt urgently needs hundreds of volunteers for 9 West Coast concert dates in November. Volunteers will serve as Holt ambassadors, answering questions and signing up new child sponsors.

An international adoption and child welfare organization, Holt International works in countries overseas to help struggling families care for their children — and to find loving adoptive families for children who need them. With a monthly donation of $30, Holt sponsors provide essential care for children while Holt works to secure for them a stable, loving home. "My husband and I were humbled and endlessly thankful to learn that (our son) had such generous sponsors," says Mallory Murray, a Holt adoptive parent from St. Joseph, Missouri.

Since Holt first partnered with Winter Jam and NewSong in 2006, Holt has welcomed over 50,000 new sponsors. Holt's goal is to recruit 12,000 new sponsors by the end of the East Coast tour in spring 2015! All volunteers will receive free early entry to the show and a complimentary gift! To learn more, go to holtinternational.org/winterjam.

The Winter Jam West tour will kick off in Rio Ranch, NM on November 6 and hit eight more cities over the following ten days — ending in Portland, OR on November 16.

Winter Jam East Tour Dates and Locations to be Announced at the end of October. The tour will run January-March 2015.
