Aid to Mexico and East Africa flood victims

CNI has made a commitment to send (1) 40 foot truck load of supplies to Mexico each month to help rebuild the lives and homes of thousands of Indians that literally lost everything they had. We have sent 3 truckloads so far and will continue to send our care boxes, personal care items, blankets, medicines, clothing, toys, and christian literature for as long as it takes to help these victims recover from the floods. We have partnered with other relief organizations and sent our care boxes along with blankets and toys to help with the flood victims in East Africa. If you would like to participate in being a part of sending our care boxes to victims of natural disasters, we have volunteer days the first Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. That's just 3 hours! If you have children, bring them too. It would be and eye opener for them.

The Visionaries Program wants to Interview CNI

The Visionaries is a program on PBS that air's once a week nation wide a documentary on different organizations. They called us last week and would like to do a program about CNI.

We are deeply honored that they have considered us. We are currently in the process of studying our options. There is a cost for this 30 minute program. Since the Visionaries are also a nonprofit organization they have to charge a fee as well. This fee could be between $10,000 and $20,000 depending on how much footage they use.

This is something new for us. We are ecstatic about the possibility, however, we will only move in the direction that the Lord opens for us.

We would like to ask each of you to pray and ask the Lord that His will be done. We will only move forward if the funds for this particular project becomes available.. We believe that if the Lord wants this to happen, it will.

Either way, we truly feel blessed that our name is held in such high regard.

If you would like to help support this project, please note it on your check int the memo section "The visionaries" and we will place your funds for this project.
