Hope Shines in the Red-light District

Day after day, the Bridge of Hope staff pour into the children, giving them love and care they do not find elsewhere
	Dear Queruel, Located near the red-light district, this Bridge of Hope center is filled with children who may have otherwise been left to roam the streets, children who were perhaps destined to live in poverty, or to become drunkards or prey for sex traffickers. But now, these children are on their way to a future incredibly different from that of the generations before them. They have a future bright with hope—all because of the committed Bridge of Hope staff and a God who loves little children.

The Indian government recently asked GFA-supported workers to help them organize relief materials they received from all across the country. Three hundred and fifty GFA volunteers split into two groups at two separate locations, where the items are being sorted. Watch the video. Field Report: Women Missionaries Teach Menstrual Hygiene in Gypsy Colony As the women missionaries entered the gypsy colony, they could see garbage and waste strewn around and children playing in the filth. As they walked through the colony, their hearts were saddened to see the poor living conditions of the people. The sisters could see a few homes within the colony, but the majority of the people lived in makeshift tents made of tarps and blankets. Read the report. Pray for Church Buildings in Asia Imagine you and your church family did not have a building to meet in. There were no classrooms, no sanctuary, no foyer with coffee and donuts to greet you. Instead, you hosted your church family in your home every Sunday morning. For multitudes of congregations in Asia, this is normal. Find out how you can pray. Free E-book: Touching Godliness by K.P. Yohannan So often we stand on the outside looking in. We watch others who have a sincere godliness, but it seems beyond our reach. In this book, K.P. Yohannan challenges us that we, too, can touch godliness as we follow Jesus down the path of total surrender and submission. Download the free e-book.

Watch the heart-wrenching story of this mother of three
	Dear Friend, Meet Indira, a mother of three who has lost everything in this month's historic Kerala floods. Hear her heart-wrenching story and see what once was her home—still filled with knee-deep water. Please continue praying for the recovery and rebuilding of these precious families' lives. Watch her video Field Report: Neglected Wife Takes Heat for Husband Because her husband was a wanted thief, Samali (pictured) was rejected by the villagers and much of her family. Anxiety, fear and abandonment seemed to control her life and emotions in the months that followed. That is, until she learned of the God who was with her through her sorrows and hardships. Read her full story. Start a myGFA Campaign to Help Widows Upon becoming a widow in Asia, a woman often is 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 can raise funds for widows through a myGFA campaign and in this way bring hope and encouragement to a widow in need. Start a campaign. Prayer Focus - Strengthening Families Healthy families are important to the Lord's heart and society as a whole. We can take part in building up healthy families in Asia through prayer. Together we get to ask our Father in heaven to strengthen family units in this generation so the generations to come may be impacted for good. See ways you can pray.
