This past winter, WIN coordinated the distribution of 1,000 blankets to families from 20 different districts in our region of north India. Many people die of exposure every year, so WIN endeavors to alleviate the suffering caused by the winter cold. Pastors serve as local community leaders entrusted with distributing these blankets among impoverished and marginalized individuals, particularly the elderly and children.
The blanket distribution drive demonstrates Christ’s compassion and shows those who otherwise often persecute Christians that Christ’s people are a blessing to the community.
