Message
Literacy = Hope
As a former math teacher, I find my heart still beats hard for learning; it is my true passion. So, when Gospel for Asia started a program to teach illiterate women in South Asia how to read, I immediately asked God to please let me help.
This campaign is the answer to that prayer. By God’s grace, you and I can bring the hope of literacy to thousands of women in the Kokborok language.
Kokborok literally means “language of the Borok people.” It is spoken by nearly a million people in India and Bangladesh.
With the goal of launching the Kokborok literacy program on World Literacy Day (September 8, 2012), a team of GFA missionary sisters has started working on the Kokborok literacy textbook.
All they lack are funds. Which we can provide! Praise the Lord for His goodness to us! Please join in my campaign to raise $8,000 to launch the Kokborok literacy program.
Please give what you can, share this opportunity with others and pray we raise a bountiful gift for the mission field.
God bless you,
Kim
About literacy translations
There are over 250 million women in South Asia who are illiterate. Because of this, GFA World is training thousands of women every year to read.
Training is already happening in over a dozen languages, but translation and production into many more languages is still needed. Your donation will provide the funds needed to translate the GFA literacy program into different languages, print and distribute the materials, and train those who will teach the course. A new language project can be fully-funded for only $8,000.
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.
