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.

Join Hands with CMCT
The Christian Missions Charitable Trust is an organisation dedicated to the upliftment of poor children, women and families who have no hope for their future.

CMCT is headed by Colleen M Redit who has taken up the cause of the depressed people of Chennai and all over South India.

The activities of the organisation and its inmates are totally dependant on the support of the people like you, who wish to share the blessings they have received from God.

Sponsor a child, an adult or a family.

CMCT takes up the entire task of housing and feeding, educating, training and spiritual development, also helping them to be gainfully employeed and settled for their future.

All you ahve to do is take up, to the extent, that you may choose to the expenditure involved in this task of bringing up a life. Together, we can covert a life of despair into a life of hope.

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.
