Text from this PhotoShow:

A GFA World ladies team ministering in Goa, India holds a Sunday school every week for children living in slums.
These children grow up in areas where deep poverty and alcoholism have forced many into prostitution, fed by a large tourist industry.
Tragically, children like this little girl have a very unstable future. Many work selling trinkets on the beach to tourists. Desperate for money, unknown numbers of children end up being taken into the area's high-demand sex trade.
Coming from homes like this, many village children have lost a parent to disease, abandonment or suicide. In some areas, prostitution has left its mark in the form of AIDS.
It is into desperate situations like these that God has allowed GFA to send the Goa ladies team. With the love of Christ, these four women bring hope for worn-down families and help rescue many children from disastrous futures.
Once a week, these little children find a haven in the Sunday school.
As the children listen to Bible stories and sing songs, their worries are replaced with the love of Jesus.
Through the love and outreach of the ladies team, the Lord is saving these little children who are cherished in His sight.
