Relief In Sight

December was an incredible month at CNI. We distributed more than 100,000 toys throughout Southern California and around the world. The joy of being able to see children and their parents celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and receiving a toy from CNI was unforgettable.

Toys were sent to Mexico, Navajo Indian Reservation, Russia, Ukrain, Romania, Moldova and Venezuela. This Christmas, we had the opportunity to partner with Metro Ministries, Dovetail Ministries, Operation Blessing, Mission Air Service, Global Operations, and Operation Stitches. Mores than 100,000 families received supplies to help alleviate suffering and provide the opportunity to hear the good news fo Jesus Christ!
This past year we were able to quadrupal the supplies that we sent around the world. In 1998, we distributed 3.3 million dollars of supplies to 32 agencies and 12 countries. In1999, we were able to distribute more than 15 million dollars of supplies to more than 92 agenccies, churches, senior citezen shelters, seniors on fixed incomes, homeless shelters, and the working poor, and 34 countries around the world. This was ONLY possible through the grace of God and friends like you. Thank You for making 1999 incredible in so many ways.

Venezuela recieves Care Boxes and other supplies to help the flood victims

CNI has commited to send 3 containers to Venezuela to help the children and their families who lost everything they had. The Venezuela consulate contacted us and asked for help. They asked us to provide food, clothing, blankets, vitamins, personal hygeine items, medical supplies, over the counter medicaations, cleaning supplies, and water.
Because of our donors we were able to provide supplies they asked for and more. All three containers went out the first two weeks of January and will arrive the last week of January. We provided enough supplies to serve approximately 20,000 families effected by the floods.
Please pray for the victims of the floods. These families lost everything they owned in the world. Now they have nothing. Their government can only do so much. If you would like to donate to help the victims of the floods , please send your contributions to our office and we will see to it that it gets to the needy families of Venezuela.

Sincerely,

Roger Presgrove, President
