A NEW VENTURE IN INDIA! Because the government of India has shut down the educational ministry of Compassion International, the India Mission has decided to continue that important ministry to the children of the Uluberia community, most of whom are too poor to afford other schools. CCM Assistant Director Travis Helm has launched a sponsorship program through which donors can provide $18 per month for the education and lunch provision for one of the children at the Mission School. Please contact Travis at [email protected] for more information on how you can be involved.
