Literacy Missions

When you can read you have choices. However, in Wyoming , 1 out of every four adults has no choice because he or she is functionally illiterate. This means he or she:

•  Cannot read above a 5 th grade level.

•  Cannot read the Bible, a hymnal, Sunday School quarterlies or any other Christian literature.

•  Will probably not come to Sunday School because they are afraid they will be asked to read.

•  Must accept what they are told by others including door-to-door cult visitors.

•  Will have difficulty understanding written medical information.

•  May have trouble completing a job application.

 

Literacy Missions Ministry is an exciting opportunity to impact your community with the Gospel. It is also an excellent way to begin a ministry with language groups that may be moving into the area or are already there.  For information contact the WSBC Missions office.
