India is experiencing a devastating second surge of COVID -19 and the reports from the field have been heart breaking. The most vulnerable families are facing starvation in addition to the deadly virus along with job loss.
Mission India has restarted its relief efforts and they have already distributed Relief Kits to over 114,000 families throughout India. The Relief Kits include enough food to feed a family of 4 for 4 weeks. Food included is based on the region within India, but in general, lentils, rice, oil, and milk powder were provided. The Relief Kits also have medicine such as fever reducers and vitamins.
This situation has moved the Deacons to commit $2,000 as a matching fund for contributions given to this effort in special gifts during the last three weeks of July. A gift of $40 will provide for two families of 4 for 4 weeks – will you help them?
Please pray for India’s people and pray they come to know Jesus!
