Over two hundred years ago, William Carey, a
missionary from England, reached India and was
shocked to witness killings of baby girls in India,
burying lepers while they were still alive, widow
burning (sati) and other evil practices in the name of
religion all with the approval of the religious leaders.

Today, with the onset of globalization and the
economic boom in India, little has changed for the
600 million people living under poverty in the villages
of India. Their lives continue to be oppressed by
socio-economic and religious bondage (click and read
the article below by BBC.) Please note that it is a
very disturbing article.
As believers living and ministering in India, we are
continually horrified at the prevalent evil practices of
religious beliefs that are still followed by some
sections of Hindus. We, at North India Evangelistic
Association, continue to believe in the power of the
gospel and education to bring people out of darkness
and superstitious beliefs. With the help of your
support and gifts, we have made a difference for
more than 300 children whose lives are being
empowered everyday. We are excited to bring 50
more children from the untouchable caste (outcastes
in India) to Faith Home on Oct. 15, 2006.
We are asking you to share this story with your
friends, families and church. Make a difference by
supporting North India Evangelistic
Association. We are committed to evangelize,
educate, train, and empower the people of India.
Blessings,
Ashish Massey
