Mother Does Something Awful...But She's Just an Actor; It Really Happens in Asia Every Day (VIDEO)

Gospel for Asia is a ministry that works to "share the Good News of Jesus Christ with lost men, women and children throughout South Asia who have still not heard his His precious name." One main concern for the ministry is the millions of children who live hopeless existences where abuse, kidnapping, sex trafficking and suicide are a daily reality. In many cases, these children are orphaned because their parents can no longer provide for them. Other times, they don't want a female child, or the children run away from abusive situations at home.

This video by Gospel for Asia aims to help Westerners understand the severity of this orphan crisis. It starts with a typical day for the typical American family as three kids get ready for school.

However, you can tell something is off when the mother prepares their lunches and only has enough food for two of the three daughters. Normally they'd just make a run to Costco or Walmart on the way to school. But in this world, that is not an option.

The mother makes a heart-wrenching decision that shocks, and then terrifies when you realize that this is true life for mothers all across South Asia. Watch this sobering video, and click SHARE to spread its message.
