How do you show a movie about Jesus in a rural village that doesn't have electricity? You bring your own!

National missionary teams draw a crowd when they enter a village and begin playing worship songs with their musical instruments. The two most common musical instruments used in Asian worship are drums and tambourines.

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. To share this amazing story with others, national missionaries all across the mission field are waiting for an LCD projector kit, which includes the film and all the equipment needed to show it. What a wonderful gift you can share for £1,100!

Suggested donation: £80

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.

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: £28 - £112

Broadcasting provides the opportunity for communities to learn about the love of Christ through radio programming, social media platforms and other key internet communication channels. Through these avenues, people across Asia-and even beyond-can discover powerful truths in God's Word. National workers write and record messages that are relevant to the cultures and struggles of each audience region, which strengthens people's ability to understand the full meaning of God's mercy. Your gift this year can truly "go tell it on the mountain"!

At Vacation Bible School, children make crafts, hear Bible stories and learn cultural songs and dances. On the last day of VBS, they share what they’ve learned by performing for their parents, and the joy and truths they discover at VBS impact their families, too! A child’s materials only cost about $5, yet the impact they can make is priceless!

The three days of VBS brought changes in my life. ... After I failed 10th grade, I was not happy and was doing whatever I liked. Due to that, my parents were so sad. ... But after attending this three-day VBS program, I learned that God loves me so much.”—Nirmanyu, a 15-year-old from Asia who found lasting hope through VBS

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

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! A heavy-duty jeep vehicle can be provided for £10,650. Be sure and watch the talking jeep video! I have quite a story to tell.

Suggested donation: £13,200

Fully equipped vehicle—complete with an Indian-made film on the life of Christ, an LCD projector, generator, mobile public address system, Gospel tracts and Bibles —is £13,200.

Men and women in Asia can hear hundreds of programs over GFA Radio. People who are exposed to the Gospel through radio tend to be more receptive to national missionaries when they visit, and thousands have given their lives to the Lord through these broadcasts. You can help a family listen to these life-giving broadcasts by providing a battery powered radio for £.

Suggested donation: £7

A chance to read the Bible on their own is a gift that every national missionary wants to give the people they minister among. You can provide a missionary and the believers he disciples with Bibles and New Testaments.

Their own copy of Scripture is a gift many people don't have. Wycliffe Bible Translators estimates 255 million people don't have any Scripture translated in their own language – and there are many more people who speak languages with Scripture translations available but have never received a copy. By giving to this category, you will help national missionaries distribute much-needed Gospel literature to those who need to hear about God's love, whether that be Bibles, New Testaments, or Gospel tracts.
