India Outreach Program
The RJS Foundation has recently partnered with Agape Interfaith Ministries (AIM). We are grateful to be involved with an organization that is caring for the needs of the poor and creating opportunities for education and social advancement. We have financially supported the construction of a building in India which will serve as a center for worship, vocational training and ministry to the poor. The center was dedicated on Easter Sunday, 2022.
The center houses a computer lab and a sewing facility where women can learn valuable skills. The women graduate with ownership of a sewing machine and can immediately begin earning an income. We were blessed to be able to visit the center in September of 2022.
