Carry one to give one
The Little Stars of Faisalabad
Every Sunday in Faisalabad, Pakistan, a group of children gathers to learn the faith. Two teachers, Nighat and Gulzar, keep it running. It costs one hundred dollars a week. Right now it has seventeen fifty.
$82.50 a week still needed. That is the whole gap — not a campaign target, just what it costs to keep the doors open every Sunday of the year.
Why this is on a rosary website
Because it is the same idea. You carry a spare rosary so that when someone needs one, you already have it. A recurring gift is the same instinct pointed at a Sunday school seven thousand miles away: the money is already there before the need arrives. Nighat and Gulzar should not have to wonder in September whether there will be a class in October.
Meet the teachers
Nighat and Gulzar are the heart of this programme. They teach every week, and they do considerably more than teach — they hold a small community of faith together in a place where being Christian is not easy.
Gifts through this page have already put children’s Bibles, educational materials, and basic supplies into their hands.
From seasonal to steady
For years the money came in bursts — a push at Christmas, another at Easter. The children were cared for at the celebrations and thinner in between. Moving to weekly support is the whole point of this page: faith and education should not be seasonal.

Thank you to Michael P., Chris P., Chuck C., and Robert T., whose recurring gifts are the seventeen fifty already in place. Every week of this year is funded by somebody.
