Message
India has been on my heart and in my prayers lately. Please help me reach a goal of $500 to help fund literacy classes for women in Asia so they can better care for their families, avoid abusive work situations, and read God's word.
Illiterate women in Asia face great difficulties. They fail to keep their children safe because they can’t read warning labels. Debt piles up because they can’t understand the bad contracts they sign. They’re cheated in the marketplace because they can’t do basic math. Even if they want to read, there is no way to learn.
Gospel for Asia women’s fellowships hold weekly literacy classes for women. The women learn to read, write, and do math. Because the curriculum is grounded in Scripture, the women learn God’s Word and can read the Bible for the first time.
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.
