Message

6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Isaiah 58:78

Once again God has answered my prayer and given me an opportunity to love people and change lives; and I'm asking you to join me!
There are far too many people in India who are illiterate and uneducated. Their inability to read makes it easy for people to manipulate them into signing bad contracts or charging them higher prices for food.
Education is so important! It could literally save these women's lives to learn how to read. I hope you come beside me in providing a way for them to get this education.

All my love,
Jessica

About women's literacy

There are over 250 million women in South Asia who are illiterate. Because of this, GFA workers are training thousands of women every year to read.

Your donation will enable GFA to provide books, training materials, and classes for women in developing nations. This will empower them to care for their families, avoid bad contracts that cause debt, and overcome abusive employers who take advantage of their ignorance. They’ll also get better prices at the marketplace—just because they can do math. Finally, churches will be strengthened as women are able to read the Bible for the first time.

About GFA World

TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES IN ASIA AND AFRICA

Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: See communities in Asia and Africa discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we’ve found in Christ.

We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.
