Message from Amy
After visiting Southeast Asia in 2014, the vulnerability of the women in this impoverished corner of the globe became real to me.
Ignorance is no longer an excuse. God's love can and must penetrate this darkness through the hands and feet of His people.
James 1:27 says, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
Widows need the Gospel. But they also need food, shelter, education, and safe occupations. Just as Jesus ministered to people's imminent needs, we should also minister to people's physical AND spiritual needs.
I am trying to $300 by this summer. Please consider joining me in this campaign to reach the least of these with the love and compassion of Jesus.

About Widows
Upon becoming a widow in in some developing nations, a woman is often blamed for her husband's death and enters a life of shame. Burdened with the responsibility to care for her children alone, she is often forced into begging or even prostitution.
You donation will help GFA give widows a means of renewable income, like a sewing machine or farm animals. You'll also help with daily essentials, like blankets and water filters.
This support will be given through the local church, giving widows a chance to learn about the love of Jesus Christ.
