Education is an unavoidable ingredient in equipping a new generation and society. Unfortunately, many children stay home or wander around instead of utilizing their time to learn. In many Asian countries, children or their parents cannot be blamed for this pathetic situation.
Social stratification resulted from caste based religious system have high impacts on the educational opportunities of the underprivileged sometimes called “untouchables” of the society. This social segregation wreaked havoc in the educational system.
In many Asian countries, it has been revealed that poverty is the biggest factor in low school enrollment and high rates of child labor. Many children forfeit an education to support their inherently poor families.
Contribution of Christian missionaries in the filed of education in India is immeasurable. Missionaries opened their schools for all, without segregating caste or creed. Educational and literacy boom in the southern states of India better proof of this fact.
Gilgal Ministries join hands with other Non-Government Organizations to further the education of these impoverished children in Asian countries. We are also working on a holistic approach to overcome the social exclusion of elementary education.
Two orphanages run by Gilgal Ministries in Myanmar is taking care of 40 children. In India, we are providing educational assistance to ten kids.

In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Jesus comes that people may have life in Him that is meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and eternal. Our missionaries carry this burden with them always. Having undertaken the great commission of Jesus, we go to both urban and rural areas of many Asian nations.
Our native missionaries have the advantage of knowing the culture and language of the populace they serve. Gilgal Ministries currently support 60 missionaries in Myanmar and India.
Proper training for the missionaries is also very crucial. We train our missionaries on how to share the gospel in challenging situations peacefully. Our missionary training sessions equip them to be servants approved unto God.$120 a month can support a missionary family. Your monthly support or one time support is highly appreciated.
High unemployment rate and inadequate human capital investment are among the greatest challenges facing many Asian countries. Integral to rural transformation is lower unemployment rate and increased agricultural productivity.
To tackle unemployment and strengthen rural economy, vocational training is an integral part of the work carried out by Gilgal Ministries.
Currently we are focusing on tailoring classes for women empowerment in rural areas. Objective of these training centers is to improve the life quality of women and teenage girls through enhancement of their skills and knowledge. Most of the students are school drop outs due to poverty and social discrimination. Our programs help these underprivileged sections to become economically independent.
Training classes are being conducted free of cost. Students are being trained by qualified teachers and certificates will be distributed upon successful completion of the course.
Estimated cost to start a new training center is about $3000, which will cover five branded sewing machines, two embroidery machines, accessories, building rent and trainer salary.
Apostle Paul, in his pastoral epistles, has given clear instructions regarding the conduct of the servants of God. They should be blameless before God and men, be diligent to present themselves approved unto God, and should be able to rightly divide the word of truth.
Native missionaries working in the vineyard, are in the mission field after 6 months of Biblical training. With limited knowledge in the Word and practical life, these servants of God strive to balance life and ministry, and many fails at the fray.
To overcome this life challenges, Gilgal Ministries arrange Seminars and Conferences on a regular basis. Through these special sessions, we encourage our missionaries to be effective and faithful in their calling. We also provide counselling on family lives. Delegates have been much blessed through these seminars in the past.
Through these special events, we give them a solid understanding of the Scripture, Systematic theology, eschatological events, spiritual warfare, how to effectively handle challenges from political and religious circles, and on how to balance between life and ministry.
Estimated cost of each of such events is about $3000. You can be a partner in these events either by sharing a part of the cost or fully sponsoring this event.
