Overseas Update: India cleans up a city (literally) and provides children's camp for migrants

The work of Christ For the City International has not simply been with children south of the border. We also have worked heavily with people on the other side of the globe, like Amos Humtsoe, the base director for CFCI-Nagaland--in India. Below he shares some of the (relatively) recent activities he and CFCI have been doing there to promote the transformation process.

Migrant Children’s Camp

July 5, 2014 Dimapur, Nagaland

This was a one-day camp for the migrant children in one of the migrant-inhabited places in Dimapur. Altogether, 33 children attended the camp. The children said that, in fact, a one-day camp was too short; however, since they are responsible children, they had to leave the camp to help their parents and do their chores. 

Dimapur Clean Drive Program

July 26, 2014

On July 26^th 2014 a mass social work project was conducted in Dimapur by CFCI-Nagaland in collaboration with District administration, Dimapur municipal council, Naga hoho (public organization) Dimapur, churches, and missions organization under the banner of “Jesus Christ in the marketplace.”  The whole city of Dimapur was divided into 25 areas, and each church (interdenominational) and some mission organizations took part in cleaning the city. The Clean Dimapur program is not just for one day; there is a commitment to continue for some years. This program will be followed by a mass educational program.

So clearly, God is at work in India.
