The Photo Was Shocking

There, on the front page of the Indian Express, my eyes were drawn to a picture of a small boy—he couldn’t have been more than five years old—lying on a sidewalk next to the busiest street in Mumbai (Bombay), India.

This nearly-naked boy was lying next to a dog—a female dog. And as I looked closer, I could see that this little skinny, ragged child was drinking the dog’s milk!

My eyes moved from the photo to the caption below it, which read, “This dog is his mother.”

In South Asia alone, more than 90 million children go to bed hungry every single day. No wonder this little boy was taking comfort in a mama dog. It may have been the only time he felt that someone truly cared for him.

— K.P. Yohannan, President, Gospel for Asia

Imagine the thousands of other children who face the same fate of hunger and hopelessness as that young boy. Right now, Gospel for Asia desperately seeks to rescue 50,000 children from the streets and impoverished villages of Asia and bring them to our Bridge of Hope centers—but we can only do that with your help!

By giving just $28, you will provide a child with an education, school uniforms, medical care and nutritious meals for a month. More importantly, you’re giving them the chance to learn about the Savior’s love for them. No longer are they seen as “slum dogs” and considered of little value and as less than animals. These little ones discover their worth in God’s eyes as each day they are saturated with His Word.

Countless stories have come back from the mission field telling how entire families—mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents—have come to know Jesus Christ after a little one shares what he or she has learned at the Bridge of Hope center.

You’ve seen their situation. You’ve heard their stories. Now, what will you do?

Rescue a child from a life of poverty and hopelessness!

100 percent of your gift goes directly to the Bridge of Hope centers—nothing is taken out for administrative or fundraising costs.
