HELP SANGITA THIS CHRISTMAS

BEING THANKFUL Hope you enjoyed looking at the  last post Fixed Point.  Here's another little film about a trip I made to India last year. It might encourage all of us to be thankful for all we have. [kml_flashembed movie="http://uk.youtube.com/v/QanbNgHye4I" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /] We sent off £13,500 pounds to India this morning. It was a real joy to feel that this money will be arriving in time to make a difference this Christmas. This is money that we've been collecting to share with our partners in India who are part of our World Without Walls Project.  Somehow we seem to have adopted  five projects, some we are supporting more than others.  Take a moment to look through te slide show  SANGITA_TRUST.html In this post i'm focusing on the Sangita Orphanage. Tomorrow i'll tell you about one of the other projects. If you scroll down on the slide show you'll see pictures of the Orphanage being built. It looks really cool. You will see that there are various projects on the go. Including a very worthy project which is helping feed men and women who live in a leprosy Colony. I'm particularly concerned about the Sangita Orphanage at the moment, mainly because they are trying to build a home for over 70 children, while  being under the threat of being evicted from their present premises.  the landlord has upted the rent and has the right to evicte them whenever he wishes. He has already taken over part of the building and they now care for 70 children out of two rooms. Paul and Grace Moses the founders have started to build the new orphanage but they need more funds to finish the project. `The thing is it is in an amazing site and the plans are quite spectacular. A million miles away from what the children are living in at present.  They need to build another three buildings to be able to house the children. Each building costs £6,000 to erect. Today we sent £7,500 this will help erect another building and also help with the running costs. If you'd like to donate to this work you can do so by going to www.standonline.org.uk our church web page and press the donate link on the left hand side of the page.

Sending the money over to India is the best present I could get this year.

Praise be to God.

Watching the clips from India are indeed humbling but praise God that in the midst of frenzied shopping by us all, money has been sent to India. On Christmas day in the midst of paper and turkey may we take time to remember that Jesus was born in a stable not in a fully equipped hospital and its his birth we are celebrating and who then gave his life for us all

For me this is what Christmas is all about, being able to bring some comfort to those less fortunate than ourselves.And it applies to Bo’ness as well as Chennai.
