Gal 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. Who are the Dalits? They are approximately 300 million people who are deemed "untouchable" and comprise the lowest rung of the Hindu caste system. Since the origin of this system 3,000 years ago, the Dalits have lived in bondage to the code of caste. They have been unable to escape their fate and are deprived of even the most basic liberties and privileges, including the freedom to decide where to live, work and worship. We invite you to learn more about the widespread opportunity the Lord has given us to share His love with the Dalits. www.gfa.org

I really appreciate this organization, and we as a family, and some in our church have been enriched greatly through supporting GFA, and learning more about the world.

I had no idea that these people existed. From what you hear about celebrities converting to Hinduism you get the impression that it is a kind, peaceful, "love your brother" type of religion. How awful. What a wonderful organization to go to Asia to spread the Gospel.

The gospel has always been preached to the poor as well as the rich.;

What an amazing organization! I had no idea of its existence. God has been personally speaking to my heart lately about my call to serve those in need. I've found through my obedience to His call a wonderful sense of peace and fulfillment. I often think how much most of us have (both financially and just the general security of health care & a safe environment to live in). I no longer just "think" about helping others -- I feel I've been called to action, and I joyfully obey. One less Starbucks coffee per week would sponsor a child through GFA. Sounds like a good deal to me.

You can also sponsor a native missionary through GFA. Note: the book shown on the website Revolution in World Missions is free and is a very good read.
