Adult Literacy: Using Bible-based booklets in many languages helps in India
http://www.missionindia.org/content/curse-illiteracy
From this webpage:
“I had a very difficult time ... I couldn’t read or learn anything. My illiteracy was a curse,” Athalia says.
Then, 55-year-old Athalia enrolled herself in a Mission India Adult Literacy Class. Her neighbors mocked her, saying, “What good will education do at your age?”
But Athalia never missed a day of class.
After her long day of labor in the fields, she walked more than 3 miles just to attend her classes. Athalia worked hard to learn how to read in her language and do basic math.
Soon - for the first time in her life - Athalia signed her name and counted money!
In her class, Athalia also began reading the Bible. She learned to pray to Jesus and often asked her teacher to pray with her.
Then, Athalia accepted Jesus as her Savior.
The same 3 Bible teaching booklets could be "translated" into Garifuna and other languages.
The more Bible based the easier.

Mission India provides:
- training for volunteer teachers
- a modest stipend for the teacher
- 3 Bible-based lesson booklets for each student in a regional Indian language
The same 3 Bible teaching booklets could be "translated" into Garifuna and other languages.
The more Bible based the easier.
Let's encourage one another...
Romans 1:12
. أَيْ لِيُشَجِّعَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضَاً بِالإِيمَانِ الْمُشْتَرَكِ، إِيمَانِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِي - Arabic
Det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, både eders og min. - Danish
That is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine. - English
? - Garifuna
Besser gesagt, auch ihr würdet mir neuen Mut geben; so würden wir uns alle in unserem gemeinsamen Glauben gegenseitig ermuntern. - German
O meglio, per rinfrancarmi con voi e tra voi mediante la fede che abbiamo in comune, voi e io. - Italian
Mejor dicho, para que unos a otros nos animemos con la fe que compartimos. - Spanish
Add more languages of Romans 1:12 (it's the whole verse!)
