Eight Mercy Touch children are now emerging into
adulthood... Five of these have just completed high
school November 2013, (Wilson, Patricia, Chimwemwe,
Elvis and Austin). Two of them are already in college (Tresford
and Thomas) and one, missing in the picture, (Kennah) is
working. We are very proud of them. This reassures us
that the cause is really worth it. They now have an
opportunity to be contributing members of society all
because of the support that many of you have given to
Mercy Touch. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! (photo

The
Orphanage
Mercy
Touch is an orphanage in Ndola, Zambia, serving a critical need
for 30 children. Founded in 2001 by Rev. Bernard Mukwavi, it
provides shelter, food, clothing, education (both Christian and
secular) and a loving environment to children who are orphaned
or have parents unable to care for them. The orphanage is
located in three homes:
Garment of Praise
Oil of Joy
Farm
Each
house provides for 8-10 children, a house mother and a manager.
Mercy Touch also maintains
A feeding program for other malnourished children in the
area
A Christian sponsorship program for area children providing
for school needs and bible study
A farming project for growing vegetables to supply the homesMy
Opportunity To Help
Here I can make a difference by becoming a
part of the growth and education of these children. Is this a
"drop in the bucket" in the worldwide need to help
children? For sure! So do these children really count?
Absolutely! Donated funds go directly to the Mercy Touch account.
Donations of any size are most
welcome. If you have a desire to personally sponsor an
orphan child at Mercy Touch, the cost is $40/month
($480/year).
Please make check
payable to First Congregational Church ("Mercy Touch" on
memo line).
Mail or bring to First Congregational Church, 62
Colony St., Meriden CT 06451.
Thank you for your support of this
mission. Call the church at 203-235-5704 for any additional information.
