Touching Base With Our Schools And National Leaders

I truly wish I could have taken all my readers on a very informative and productive tour of three of the largest cities of India.  David Cawston and I just returned from a 3 week missions trip to India to explore the needs of our National Schools and Churches regarding the support of children.   Today is my first day back at the office!

Janice and I have moved from Springfield, MO to our field office location to manage the sponsorship of children.   We now have just over 500 sponsors and 650 children in our database, and it keeps us hopping just to keep them informed as to the progress of the children. The numbers are growing each week for which we praise God.  

We as a ministry have committed to the sponsorship of 1200 more children who desperately need intervention in their lives just to save them from exploitation, sickness and in some cases death.    While in India, we met with the AG leadership in Delhi, Jaipur and Kulkuta.   They were so very gracious and showed us what they were doing to alleviate the suffering of children, teenagers and parents.  They are really doing their part, but oh, what a task.   We are coming along side of them to assist them with the care and school sponsorship of these hundreds of children.  In just one school in Delhi, they run 3 - 4 hr shifts per day, for a total of just over 500 children ages 5 to 12.  We were thrilled to see the progress in the children and how that the sponsorship of just a few children in a school benefits the entire school.  It is through the children that we reach the family.  In every case, where a school is started, a church is also planted.  Wow! The destiny of India's children is being changed one child at a time.   



God bless you and I trust you are in good health and experiencing the abundant blessing of the Lord.   Thank you for your support, without which, we would not be able to touch the lives of hundreds of children in India.

Sincerely, in Christ,
