Dearly Beloved in Christ, As you may know, Light to Life is a mission initiative of the Mar Thoma Mission Board of the Diocese of North America that supports the education and holistic development of underprivileged children in different parts of India. Currently, there are over 5,500 children being supported by the Light to Life mission through the generous contributions received from sponsors within the Diocese of North America. Each child is supported through a nominal amount of $20.00 per month ($240.00 per year). The month of October 2024 is being set apart as Light to Life Promotion Month. Each family in the Diocese is prayerfully exhorted to take up the responsibility to sponsor at least one child.
