WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how a GFA World national missionary helped a family escape poverty with the gift of education, giving their children a brighter future.
Poverty surrounded GFA pastor Vasek. One day, the pastor happened to meet two young boys—two young boys who should have been in school. When the pastor asked them how they were doing, the boys shared with him about their lives and invited him to their home. A few minutes later, they arrived at a ramshackle tent made of plastic bags and strips of fabric that were held together by sticks.
Pastor Vasek then met the boys’ 55-year-old father, Taboras, their mother and nine siblings. As they conversed, Pastor Vasek asked if any of the children went to school. No, Taboras responded. They helped him by scouring small hills of refuse for bits of rags and other sellable pieces of garbage. It was their livelihood, the only way they could sustain themselves. Sending his children to school would mean the family could lose wages needed for survival.
