Through Equip the Nations indigenous missionaries, we want to empower abused and poverty-stricken women to live freely to the Lord by adding ten more slum sewing, literacy, and biblical counseling centers. https://equipthenations.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/CounselingCenters.mp4 Our centers provide the atmosphere for women to truthfully talk with other women about their daily needs and struggles. The honesty allows our workers to use the Bible to answer their discussion questions. And often times, this opens the door for us to teach literacy and present the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We understand that it takes time for abused and poverty-stricken women to learn that their new identity can be found in Christ. And that Christ will never leave or forsake them. Through the sewing, literacy, & Counseling centers each abused poverty-stricken woman has the opportunity to believe that she is of great worth to Jesus. And that He can take her from a place of rejection, anxiety, and begging to a place of acceptance, hope, and financial security. We emphasize that Jesus paved the road to grace and forgiveness with His blood to empower all to walk the narrow road. This key lesson is hard for an abused woman living in the slum to grasp. But with prayer and counseling, all things are possible. After the training, the women can produce clothes to be sold to their neighbors, in their nearby markets, and distributed through local merchants. Our goal is to set up ten NEW sewing literacy and counseling centers in the slums. To enter Equip The Nations, Inc., giving portal click...

Used Bible Literacy Program Stan & June Hinman The vision is to collect used Bibles, ship them to India, and allow India Bible Literature (IBL) to place a scripture in every home in India.

We also accept mainline Evangelical Books by authors such as: Billy Graham, Charles Stanley, Chuck Swindoll, and C.S. Lewis. We accept only books for this literacy program. Our Goal is to fill up a 20-foot shipping container. You and your church can drop your boxed Bibles and books off at one of our drop points. Please see bottom of the Newsletter for a drop box location. WHY INVEST YOUR TIME AND USED BIBLES? 1. Many pastors and Christian leaders in India have no libraries, resources, or Bible study tools. Many believers don’t even have a Bible. When you donate a Bible, it is sold at an affordable cost at book fairs to Christians and ministers who deeply desire to possess these resources, but are unable to purchase new ones. You can be sure that your Bibles and resources will be used and treasured. 2. Many private schools in India are English Medium Schools – creating a significant need for English Language Bibles. Used Bibles from American Christians meet needs of believers in India who read and...
