When Anchal was eight, she left her small village and arrived at Varanasi Seventh-day Adventist School. She had no friends, she didn’t respect the teachers, and she knew nothing about Jesus. Now, her life has been transformed!
When Anchal was eight, she left her small village and arrived at Varanasi Seventh-day Adventist School. She had no friends, she didn’t respect the teachers, and she knew nothing about Jesus.
Anchal moved into the dormitory and quickly began making friends. The dorm is a social place where students play games, relax, and do school work. Many of the students spend time reading their Bibles.
This was a totally different world to Anchal’s previous life in the village. But she found herself enjoying Bible studies and trying to get good grades. Eventually, Anchal gave her heart to Jesus and is so grateful for her experience at the school.
“Really God has blessed me so much that I learned so many stories and activities in this church and I like them so much. My favorite story is Job!”
Like Anchal, many students come to this school knowing nothing about Jesus. But their lives are transformed!
They are immersed in a wholistic learning experience. In addition to the standard subjects, students learn about health, engage in fun activities, and enjoy delicious meals.
Each Sabbath, students attend the Adventist House of Prayer located right on campus. They often participate in the Sabbath program. Anchal and her friends love to sing for the congregation.
“We have these children from the rural area and they are learning about Jesus. They know that this is all a blessing coming in the name of Jesus to them and to their families. That’s how the message of love and Jesus is going to the rural area from this small school.”
God has blessed this school with more and more students each year, but unfortunately, the dormitories are over-full. The girls are crammed into a small space with bunk beds piled up against each other.
This quarter a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering will help expand the girls dormitory, allowing more girls to attend school.
“At present we have only one room and we have 25 girls here, but when the dorms are there we will have around 60 girls in the dormitories. We will have double or triple the girls studying. In this way we will have more students studying in our school.”
Please pray for Varanasi Seventh-day Adventist School. Pray that the teachers and students can continue to be a positive light to each other, like they were to Anchal.
Please consider what you can do to help the girls at this school. Thank you for supporting projects such as this!
“Thank you for supporting the mission offering.”
