Pastor's Wife Achieves Dream Through Women's Literacy Class

WILLS POINT, TX – Learn how one pastor’s wife’s “impossible dream” came true after she enrolled in a GFA World women’s literacy class.

Kaleena, wife of GFA pastor Lamonta, set an example for the members of their congregation. She faithfully supported her husband, cared for their four children and excitedly attended regional events for the church, such as women’s seminars and health care training programs.

Inside, however, Kaleena struggled with embarrassment and insecurity. She felt inferior when she watched other ladies in church read God’s Word. She, the pastor’s wife, couldn’t read the Holy Scriptures. She couldn’t read at all.

I wish my parents had sent me to school so that I also could have the ability to read God’s Word and other books, Kaleena thought.

Praying for a Chance to Help Others

Kaleena’s parents had battled poverty while raising their children, and they didn’t understand the value of education. Consequently, they hadn’t sent Kaleena to school. Now she couldn’t even sign her own name.

“God, please help me to read and write,” Kaleena prayed. “I am also your servant. I will read [Your Word] and know more about You and will be able to teach others too.”
