A ministry committed to serving the "least of these" in places where no one else is serving is sharing God's love with women who are suffering extreme conditions because of COVID-19.
GFA World founder K.P. Yohannan says when a married man in Asia or in non-Christian Muslim countries throughout Africa dies, the widow is considered at fault and cursed by the gods. Nigerian widows, for example, are locked in a room with their husband's corpse and required to shave as a symbol of shame.
"In Afghanistan, outcast widows establish their own colony on a hillside by the cemetery just outside the capital in Kabul, where they live in mud homes they built for themselves, disowned by the families," Yohannan continues.
