St. Xavier School
St. Xavier English medium school is a outreach tool of our friends in Bihar.
This school currently has over 300 students who are receiving almost free
education in English--this is HIGHLY valued and sought after in Bihar.
St. Xavier is being lead by C. Jesudasan and has a staff of great teachers and
helpers. It is through teaching and giving children the necessary life skills
that our friends are working and sharing about Jesus Christ. One of the three
main focuses of Jesus; life and ministry was teaching, so St. Xavier seeks to
follow in His steps by giving a high quality education to children in Bihar.
This school is a great blessing to the people of Bihar yet any private education
can seem out of reach for many families.
To give you a sense of the cost, it is around 4-5 dollars a month to give a
child an education, but this may be a quarter or half of the families income for
the month. The staff work very sacrificially as the teachers (who are mostly
from South India) make about 45-85 dollars a month! Currently St. Xavier is
offering sibling discounts and provides 30 Christian children completely free
education.
Please continue to pray for financial provision for this needed outreach.
