Helping Local Non-Profits During COVID

A Letter: COVID-19 and What God is Doing in India
Changes across our country and the world in reaction to the COVID-19 virus have disrupted all our lives. We are taking precautions with our teams here and abroad. We pray for your health and well-being during this time. Remember: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 Ministry goes on, and God continues to work, despite the circumstances.
The Elephant Project: Volunteers Needed!
We have had great success with the tailoring program this year! Our four schools in India teach women the treadle sewing machine and fundamental business practices over six months. A hundred and twenty women successfully graduated this year, and many have gone on to work in the cities or teach their own tailoring classes.
Let’s Make a Trade
We want to start training young, low caste people who will probably not make it into university in Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, & PowerPoint) so they can get data entry jobs. These jobs are higher paying than farming land or street cleaning and provide greater dignity than many jobs available to the low caste.
New Project Launch
Another exciting project that we launched in January is a coaching program for low-caste students in India. Even when parents in rural areas can afford to send their children to school, the drop out rate is high. Many children drop out of school before 5th grade.
New Venture
As we begin this new venture, both the house parties and reaching the youth, we hope to spread the word about what God is doing in India and the opportunities to spread the Gospel to the Untouchables, and other low caste. In the process, we desire to discover new partners, continue to fund the work, and inspire a passion for missions in the next generation.
