In India, 30% of the population never attended school. Who are the illiterate? They are foreigners in their own country. Slum children can barely read because they finish only five grades. After that, they find low-paying jobs and take care of their families. Sometimes there are no schools in the villages, so people are illiterate, and many can hardly read. To a beginner, the Hindi language looks like an ornate pattern: प्रभु यीशु सब से महान प्रभु हैं।

There are 44 letters in the alphabet, and each consonant inherits a short “a” sound. The difficulty is that some letters sound almost the same, and when two or three letters are combined, their writing looks very different from the alphabet. Thus, there are 240 variants of writing different syllables in the Hindi language. The Indian government has opened adult schools in big cities, but adults get tired. They earn money, care for their families, and do not prioritize education.
There are some languages, called tribal languages, which do not yet have a written form. That is why many Indian Christians listen to the Word rather than read it. Church is the only place where an uneducated person can grow in Spirit and Truth, but those who did not go to school can’t concentrate for a long time. When we preach, we use bright computer presentations, different materials, and even our fingers, so those who love God can easily remember the Scriptures.
The Jesus Unlimited mission has built a Christian school for underprivileged children, giving them access to education and the message of Christ. Stan and Lana invite you to be part of this project by supporting the school’s work. Together, we can transform lives through Christian education and make a lasting impact for generations to come.
