GFA Mission and Distinctives
GFA Mission
Our mission in life is to be devout followers of Christ and to fulfil the Great Commission among the unreached in Asia through training, sending out and assisting qualified labourers in partnership with the Body of Christ.
GFA Distinctives
100 percent of Support Sent to the Field
When a donor sends in the monthly support for their missionary, nothing is deducted for administrative purposes--100% is sent directly to the mission field for its intended purpose.
Focusing on the Unreached
Our focus and goal, as a ministry, is to reach the 2.7 billion people in the 10/40 Window who have never heard about the love of God. In India alone, there are over 500,000 villages with no Gospel witness.
Training and Sending National Missionaries
National missionaries have few or no cultural barriers to overcome. They can readily share the Gospel with those who, unlike their western counterparts, have never heard. While national workers do face difficult obstacles as they take the message from village to village, they still have an enormous advantage over their co-workers from North America and other non-Asian lands.
GFA currently has 54 Bible colleges where nearly 9,000 students are preparing to become full-time church planters among those who have never heard.
Tremendous Results by God's Grace
Currently, more than 29,793 churches and mission stations have been planted by Gospel for Asia national missionaries where no church existed before. On average, our missionaries establish approximately 15 fellowships every day in Asia among unreached villages and people groups.
But none of this has come easily. Our national missionaries are paying a high price of suffering, hardship and intense persecution to see churches established.
The churches planted in each culture are truly indigenous in character, self-governance, self-propagation and in becoming, as soon as possible, self-supporting.
Training Tomorrow's Leaders at the GFA Biblical Seminary
Over 600 students now attend Gospel for Asia Biblical Seminary in India, where they are being trained to become devout followers of Christ and to fulfill the Great Commission in Asia.
