Grace in a Difficult Land: Discover Christianity in a Hostile Village

WILLS POINT, TX – Explore a remarkable tale of faith and healing in a hostile village, where Christianity defies adversity and brings transformation.

Gaura has grown up her entire life in a village that is aggressively hostile to Christianity. Her father works as a farmer and her mother is a housewife, but they do not earn much of an income. Gaura is currently in the 9th grade, enrolled in one of GFA World’s Child Sponsorship Program centers. The fact that this Child Sponsorship Program center even exists, in a village that detests Christianity, is truly a blessing.

Gaura’s family members were faithful to the traditional religion of their community. Everything changed, however, when Gaura became ill.

Surgery Needed

About seven years ago, Gaura started suffering from epilepsy. She would often fall unconscious with little to no warning. Her parents took her to various doctors until they received shocking news. Gaura needed surgery on her brain.

The family took her to a specialty hospital, where they received the same recommendation: surgery or else. But even with the costly surgery, the doctors could not guarantee Gaura’s recovery. The medical staff sent her home with medication to try to ease the symptoms. Her parents didn’t know what to do.
