A Piglet Gift Brings Dignity to a Family of Eight
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how a widow’s life transforms as she received a piglet gift from a GFA World national missionary pastor, allowing her to build a bathroom and experience God’s provision.

Apurva and her seven children shared a small house consisting of a common room, a kitchen and one bedroom. The family of eight lived in poverty because Apurva, a widow, earned only a meager income from selling bananas she grew in her small garden.

But one day, Apurva’s pastor, a GFA pastor, gave her a gift that would drastically change life for her and her children: a piglet.

After taking care of the piglet for one year, Apurva sold it for 6,000 rupees (almost $100), more than one month’s wages for the vast majority of people in South Asia. With her earnings from that pig, she bought another piglet for 1,200 rupees (approximately $20). After raising this second piglet for six months, she gained a handsome profit by selling it for 4,700 rupees (approximately $77).

With her earnings from these two pigs, Apurva was able to build something her family desperately needed.
