We are in day one of a three day conference in Kolkata (Calcutta), India. Around 50 project directors, representing ministry to over 15,000 children are in attendance. It is amazing to meet these people that have so deeply impacted so many children's lives. There are so many stories of children who have graduated from the program that are now teachers, pastors or professional people. Does $30 a month really do that? It doesn't take very long to be convinced that these children are making a great difference here in India. Most of those children would have never had the opportunity for education and growth had it not been for sponsors who provided for them. Even though there are pockets of prosperity in India, when you walk the streets of Kolkata, you see how deep the level of poverty is for so many. If you are reading this and already sponsor a child - thank you! You are making a difference. If you do not yet sponsor a child, you can go to our website at www.missionofmercy.org and find a child that you can bless. My guess, though, is that you will be blessed as well.

Dear Bro. Mark,
Thats an awesome task that you undertake to take the good news to those who have not heard it. I have worked w/CCCYC in 2001-02 as an Officer travelling to Orissa. Working for the Lord is awesome. I'll be praying for you. God bless.
