Christian School Accreditation
The
Indian Christian School has been opened thanks to the generosity
of thousands of Christians in the United States and a lot of
hard work and dedication of Esudas and his family.
Esudas and his family are grateful for the trust and support of
their American brothers and sisters in Christ and they look
forward to many years of service in the kingdom of Christ on
behalf of the children in their area.
Illiteracy is Deadly
Many denominations are working in these lower caste
populations. They are successfully winning converts to
their teachings. Most of these converts are illiterate and
unable to search the scriptures to see whether or not the things
they have been taught are in accordance with the will of God.
Those who cannot read the scriptures are easy prey for false
teachers who preach another gospel.
The Indian Christian School is teaching the children to read
and write. Those who can read can learn the truth for
themselves by reading and understanding the will of God straight
from the pages of His word and not through someone who claims to
be a Christian but is teaching them something unbiblical.
Literate Christians are stronger Christians. Esudas and
his family are dedicated to helping these children climb out of
the deadly trap of illiteracy so that they can help themselves
and be more informed, more productive and more successful in
their lives as citizens and Christians.
School
Accreditation:
Much
work has been done and the Indian Christian School now has over
130 children in attendance. However a major hurdle stands
in their way at this time. The school is not yet
officially accredited with the Indian government.
An application has been made for this and is pending approval of
the presiding officials. However, Esudas has been informed
that the school lacks sufficient play ground space for the
children. A more suitable location which fulfills this
requirement has been located but it requires a substantial
investment of capitol in order to acquire it and to build a new
facility at the new site.
We remain hopeful that the school will be able to meet this need
in the future, continue to function and to be able to teach
literacy to these children. We need your prayers for the
success of this overwhelming task.
