From Darkness to Light - India

It is a hand to mouth existence for many living in poor rural villages of India. With poverty comes poor literacy skills and ultimately despair. The heart cry of those trying to make a living under such oppressive conditions is the same – Where do I find hope? Where is the solution to my misery?

  


Through local churches Bible League’s literacy programs are having a dramatic impact on countless lives. The Easy-to-Read (ERV) Bible is used as the primary text in teaching literacy skills. Through the program many have had their spiritual eyes opened for the first time to the truth of God’s Word and have come to faith in Jesus. Aardhi’s story powerfully demonstrates how lives are being transformed through these literacy programs.

"Before I could not even write my own name, now I can write my name, I can read and this has given me confidence. Now my in-laws look up to me. When they go to the market they say, ‘Let’s bring Aardhi because she can read.’ Before literacy my family was in darkness, now because I can read and write, my family is in light. We have experienced the light and that is the light of Jesus Christ."

Will you help others in India like Aardhi find real hope and a better future through Bible League’s Bible based literacy programs? 

Using ERV Bibles and study resources in the heart language of the local people, it costs just $2,000 to fully fund a literacy centre for a 12 month period. With an average attendance of 40 students per centre, imagine the dramatic impact that the relatively small investment of $50 will have on the life of each student both materially and spiritually.
