2012 TRANSITION TO A NEW MISSIONS CHALLENGE


In response to the unprecedented human need in India, the Assemblies of God working together with the Indian Church has launched Cry of India - a child sponsorship program to change the destiny of these children.  Cry of India focuses on providing education, nutrition, healthcare and spiritual formation to meet the urgent needs of extreme poverty and children at risk.
FOUR FOLD FOCUS OF CRY OF INDIA
With sponsorship of children in the slums and ghettoes of the largest cities and unreached areas of India  there is hope that they will be able to break out of the cycle of poverty and reach their God-given potential.

God has opened a new door for Janice and me that is both challenging and tremendously fulfilling.  We have been invited to transfer to the India Field based ministry of Cry of India.  Gaining invaluable experience in computer technology during the past 5 years, Don has been prepared for the task of managing the Sponsorship commitments and making sure that our sponsors are keep abreast of the progress their adopted child is making in the four focus areas of their lives.

Please pray for us and thank you for your support of us as we continue to depend on the generosity of God's people to carry on this incredible work of reaching the children and families of India for Christ.
