Although Cyclone Phailin was one of the greatest disasters of 2013, it has been forgotten by many. For the millions still recovering from the storm’s fury, forgetting is impossible. The storm damaged or destroyed 800,000 homes, and many people lost every earthly possession they owned. Now, hundreds of Gospel for Asia Compassion Services workers are helping these people rebuild their lives.
The original plan was to rebuild 200 homes, but it has since increased to 1,000. Teams also plan to provide education for affected children through GFA Bridge of Hope and continue giving victims basic necessities. Through it all, our workers pray that many will see and understand the love of Christ.

Description
This gripping new documentary film tells the untold story of millions of women in India who are culturally persecuted for no other reason than the fact that they are women.  From birth until death, their life is a vicious cycle of poverty and oppression, from the mass epidemic of female suicides, dowry deaths, forced abortion to the high rate of illiteracy among the women and even how more than 46 MILLION widows are being cast aside and ostracized by society simply because their husband died. However, despite more than a millennia of hardships, the Gospel is being spread into the remote villages as Christian women are now rising up across the entire nation of India; bringing cultural change in every area of life for these generations of broken women, through the hope of Jesus Christ.   
These are the faces of true survivors. Those who have withstood a lifetime of adversity in the face of a culture stacked against them. Take a heartfelt journey through the eyes of these women, and others, who unveil their personal stories of triumph over persecution, rejection, abandonment and a life of tragedy. Get a glimpse of the true resilience of the human spirit and how the love of Jesus is restoring hope and dignity to a generation of broken women, and rebuilding shattered lives.
Narrated by Dove Award-Winning, Grammy-Nominated, CCM Recording Artist Natalie Grant, Directed & Produced by the critically-acclaimed filmmakers, Kenny & Kyle Saylors (Kimjongilia, The Gamebreaker, My Finish Line), this film was shot on-location across the stunning nation of India, in some of the most remote tribal villages in the world today.  This is more than just a film, it is a journey into a world where few outsiders have gone before.
