Story number 3 for 11 Jan 2000

Posted: 11 January, 2000

A relief and development agency is hoping to increase the number of children they're helping around the world. Mission without Borders' Len Robinson says they're expanding their Child Rescue International program this year. Robinson explains the project. "Typically Child Rescue International reaches the physical needs of these children in institutions because often the emotional problems of children have a physical result and so we're trying to circumvent and sort out that problem. And then, we have Bible teaching with what we call Christian outreach to the children by the volunteers and a fostering program." Robinson says as they reach out to these children they also minister to the directors of these institutions. "Many, many directors come to us and say what have you done with our children. They were violent, they were angry and (now) there's peace in the home, what has happened? And, we said, the difference is Jesus is in that home now. And, through this we find many of these directors are becoming Christians." Robinson says you can rescue a child for 20-dollars a month.
