Womens Trip - South Asia: 23B4A0722IN

You’ve got a story to tell. It’s significant, powerful, and you want it to count for something.

South Asia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, but this growth comes at a cost. Despite a growing middle class, a terrible rift exists between the rich and poor of this mainly Hindu country.  More than just dollars and lifestyles, this gap began generations ago in the caste system, and it has left the lower-caste people of South Asia without hope. In South Asian culture, daughters are viewed as costly. Not only is a girl’s family expected to pay the expense associated with raising her but a bride-price, although outlawed, is still commonly expected by her future husband’s family.

In far too many cases, baby girls are killed or abandoned. Orphanages are filled with girls who have been dumped by their families and are desperate for love and attention. Women, in general, are treated as second-class citizens, as South Asia has a traditional, patriarchal society. They are expected to serve their husbands, as well as cook, clean, and take care of their children.

The women of South Asia need to know the truth about their worth and God's great love for them.

Ministry Overview 

In partnership with our Adventures South Asia Base, you will develop deep and meaningful relationships with the South Asian women you'll minister to—and with your own team. You can invest your time, love, and energy into this community of women confident that your efforts will be sustainable because of the long term presence of our ongoing women's ministry in South Asia.

Your team will:

• Host Beauty for Ashes retreats, creating a space for God to bring hope, healing, and redemption to the stories of local women.

• Be equipped to share about topics such as worth, identity, healing, and forgiveness with others through storytelling and vulnerability.

• Build meaningful relationships with your team and those with whom you minister.

• Gain a deeper understanding of who God is and who you are as His daughter.
