Text from this PhotoShow:

In 2003 GFA World started a Bible college in Mumbai, India, to train native missionaries to reach the slum and urban dwellers.
The record rains that flooded Mumbai this summer did not spare the GFA Bible college.
The building's ground floor flooded, stranding the students upstairs for 48 hours.
The rising floodwaters paralyzed the area. All the shops and businesses closed.
Today the students are bringing relief and hope to slum dwellers whose homes were washed away.
Believers wade home through the brown floodwaters after a Sunday worship service at the Bible College.
The school principal, Pastor Sam, makes his way through dangerous waters for a service.
One student who helped with relief work shares how he became deathly ill from the polluted waters, but the Lord saved him. Disease has already killed over 100 people.
These final-year students will be the second graduating class. Earlier this year, 19 students graduated and entered full-time ministry to slum dwellers.
By this time next year, GFA's Mumbai Bible College will be located on this six-acre site, enabling a larger number of students to be trained for slum ministry.
Please pray for the students' protection as they continue to minister in challenging circumstances.
