Open
Doors: Pakistan (10 mins)
In 1989 Christians had a deep desire to meet the challenges
resulting from the illiteracy of the Christian community.
Open Doors began to support training in literacy,
life skills, Bible teaching and more. For many of
the ladies who attend these courses, the valuable
skills they learn enable them to dramatically
improve their quality of life and, through the Bible
teaching, women who have no Christian background
come to understand the Gospel.
