| How contended
are you? |
|
Just look back on how life's treated you.
Your food, clothing, home, family, health, education, career, earnings,
entertainment, luxuries-compared to the millions, has not life been
rather kind to you?
Perhaps there's just this one thing left that will make you totally
contented. The incomparable moral satisfaction of sharing just a mite
with someone, whose worldly belongings do not include even one set of
decent clothing.

Given below are answers
to some of the regualar queries we get from prospective sponsors.
Q. What is my
financial commitment?
A.
As much as you can spare for the sake of a child, a poor woman or a
family. A two or three year old child needs less and the expenditure
increases as they grows olders.
On an average, in order to cater to basic needs, the amount would be
around US $40, or a family sponsorship $100 per month or its equivalent
in other currencies. Any contribution over this amount, would be
utilised to sponsor another person. Sponsorship of individuals or
families can be arranged.
Q. Can I take up
part sponsorship?
A. Yes. You could take up the
boarding, lodging, clothing, educational, health or miscellaneous
expenses depending upon how much you wish to offer. Any contribution is
greatly appreciated.
Q. How is my
remittance spent?
A.
CMCT wishes to assure you that the amount remitted by you is spent
entirely towards sponsored person only, for the purposes mentioned as
above, Any amount left unspent in any month is remitted in an account
favouring the sponsored person.
Perfect accounting is maintained and presented to the sponsor on demand.
Q. How often do
I make remittance?
A. You could decide whether you wish
to make monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual
remittances. Kindly plan this in consulation with us so that you can
make necessary arrangements with the bank or Mission Office.
In each country we have a mission office, who will forward your gift
for you.
Q. Do I get to choose the person I want to sponsor?
A. Certainly. You can select a boy
or girl or a woman, of any age group. We try our best to match your
preference.
Q. Can I monitor the progress of the person?
A.
Infact, we strongly encourage you to build a relationship with the
person. We keep you constantly posted on the way he or she is shaping
up it. It is a great solace for them to receive letters from their
sponsor. You could exchange photographs, and little gifts from you
bring them great cheer. They are the happiest if you could go over to
Chennai to visit them.
Q. When does my relationship with the person
end?
A. this never really does. Even
after she or he grows up and is settled well in life, the benefactor is
always remembered with immense gratitude. You may continue to
correspond as long as you wish. Further remittances from you, if you
wish, will be carried over to sponsor another person, and God's work
moves on, to further His purpose. |

Radha
I am Radha. I came from a very poor family. I do not have a father. My
father died after I was born. My mother could not educate me. By the
Grace of God she brought me to Colleen Amma when I was 3 years old.
Amma put me into school. I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my
Personal Saviour in a Girl's Rally camp in 1995. I have learnt many
important things in my life through CMCT. Because god provided some
body to sponsor me, Amma educated me and helped me in many ways in my
life. I am glad to be living in CMCT. I took baptism in 1999. I have
now finished my Higher Secondary School. Iam praying for my futre. I
want to become a Pharmacist. When my results come God willing Amma will
put me into training. I am praying for God's will in my life. I want to
be some body special and a good witness for Him. |

Suzanna
At the end of July 1995 a baby girl was brought to us in a pitiful
situation as you see. She had beenb left on a side walk of a market. A
lady selling plastic bangles, looked after her for one week. She
already had 7 children. She took this baby to the police station. The
police gave the address of a borstal. As the lady was taking her on the
bus, the Lord arranged for some of our staff to be also on the same
bus. Other people who also knew us and saw our staff told this ladynot
to put the child in that and that CMCT would look after this baby. The
next morning two ladies arrived carelessly carrying little Suzanna. She
was like a bag of rubbish to them. She had no clothes, a distended
stomach, a severe chest cold. Her hair was discoloured and matted. When
we heard the story and saw the baby we immediately had compassion. We
have brought her up and you can now see how beautifully Suzanna is
developing because some body came forward to sponsor so that we could
look after her and educate her. |
