For Granted

Do Americans Take Christian Education for Granted?

In Bihar, India, poverty runs rampant. Dependent on daily earnings for their survival, these people are so desperately poor they also draw sustenance from rats, snakes and other field animals. In the past 50 years, only two people in this village have gone to school past the 10th grade.

Gospel for Asia reached out to them with a Bridge of Hope education center. Because of the Bridge of Hope center, precious souls have come to Christ in this village and 170 children were able to attend school for the first time. No longer can this village be called uneducated or without the transforming hope of the Gospel.

Do we thank God that there are thousands of Christian schools in our country? More importantly, are we using the gift of Christian education the Lord has provided to us in such abundance?
