CHRISTMAS DAY OFFERING – TRANSFORMING LIVES Our missions partners UCCI (United Christian Church of India) run a child sponsorship scheme – for £20pm per child they educate, feed and clothe hundreds of children from very difficult situations (CFC’ers and friends sponsor over 200 children). UCCI currently have al-most 400 children across their six schools without sponsors.
