Tools for Missionaries

Suggested donation: 15-minute programme for £28 or one hour of programming for £112

Through GFA-supported radio programs, people in mountain villages, crowded slums or urban tea shops can receive a glimpse into God’s character—possibly for the first time. They can find hope, discipleship and answers to their questions. Airing broadcasts in more than 100 of Asia’s most common languages, GFA-supported radio ministry receives about 2 million pieces of correspondence each year from people who are asking for prayer or wanting to know more about Christ.

You can provide one 15-minute program for £28 or one hour of programming for £112. Your donation will send a message of hope through the airwaves.

Many GFA supported missionaries spend many arduous hours walking from one village to another. With a bicycle a national missionary can visit three to four times as many villages in a day. A heavy-duty Indian-made bicycle can be a wonderful blessing for £80.

Suggested donation: £25

Every worker needs tools to effectively accomplish their task, and GFA-supported workers are no exception. You can provide national workers with tools—like Bibles, literature, winter clothing or bicycles—that will help their ministries and show people God’s love.

Suggested donation: £1 will provide 300 Gospel tracts

Help a national missionary share the story of our Saviour with Gospel tracts to pass out in his village. Literature is treasured in Asia, so a packet of Gospel tracts is a gift that you can be sure will be passed on and read by others. Your gift of £1 will provide 300 Gospel tracts for a national missionary to share.

Suggested donation: £17 for a drum and tambourine

National missionary teams draw a crowd when they enter a village and begin playing worship songs with their musical instruments.

Suggested donation: £10,650

An entire national missionary team and all of its valuable equipment can travel to several far-flung villages a day with this wonderful gift. That could become several hundred villages a year!

Suggested donation: £960

Motorcycles can carry two national missionaries at a time! A motorcycle is an extremely useful and time-saving tool, especially in hilly areas where pedalling a bicycle is difficult. The cost of a motorcycle is £960.

Man of Mercy, an Indian-made film on the life of Jesus, is one of the most effective ways to share the Gospel with people in Asia. Tens of thousands have already given their lives to Christ as a result of watching this moving film.

What a wonderful gift you can share for £1,100!

They will also have colourful Gospel literature to take home.

What better present for a national missionary or family living in the cold mountain regions than warm winter clothing!

For just £30, you can enable parents and missionaries to work throughout the winter while their families are protected from the cold.
