Learn MoreThe gift of chickens supplements a family’s income and often helps a family get on its feet financially. Families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell. These birds of a feather multiply quickly, taste just like chicken and are really cheep!
“We encouraged our youth group to bring a donation to the youth group Christmas party so we could bless several families with chickens! It was fun to see the students participate by bringing what they were able, and we were thankful because it got them thinking outside of themselves and about the needs of others around the world.”—Matt, a donor from Michigan

Learn MoreThese portly critters bring powerful financial breakthroughs to needy families. Piglets fetch a good price in market, which enables families to buy whatever they need, and adult pigs provide ample meat for selling or eating.
“I am so happy for God providing me these two piglets. ... I have already started thinking about what to do with these piglets. ... I will give them good food so that they grow big. In the future, they will give birth to several piglets. I am already seeing that these pigs will bring . . . income to my family.” —Laghuvi, a mother who received two piglets

This cow will give birth; then I can get milk from this cow. I will sell the milk to the milk factory to get money for the expenses of my family. My children will also have milk to drink. This cow will be really an amazing gift for our living. Thank you.” —Danna, a widow and mother of four children in Asia

Learn MoreBicycles save national workers time and energy, enabling them to minister to more people and to visit believers they disciple more often. Bicycles may also be given to others in need, helping break the cycle of poverty by enabling parents to find jobs in more distant places or by making it possible for students to travel to their remote schools.
“Sometimes I was not able to reach my destination traveling by bus, as the road was broken on the way. I had to return back. But with the bicycle, I am able to cross any such hurdles and reach my destination.”

Learn MoreA heavy-duty vehicle carries a team of national missionaries to remote villages much faster and safer than if they had to walk. Because of the vehicle, these missionaries are able to share about the love and sacrifice of Christ with people who may not otherwise get a chance to hear about Him.
In addition to transporting the team, the vehicle also carries heavy equipment essential for ministry, which often includes a generator, a film projector and a sound system. Through the gift of a heavy-duty vehicle, people across Asia will get to celebrate Christ!

Learn MoreHarsh winters force many people indoors, hindering villagers from finding jobs and limiting pastors’ ability to minister. Winter clothing packets help GFA-supported workers stay healthy and able to minister during cold seasons, and they also demonstrate Christ’s love in a very practical way to villagers living in mountainous regions or to the homeless.
Depending on the region, a winter clothing packet may include:
“From the depths of my heart, I am grateful to God, who blessed me and allowed me to enjoy the winter with a shawl, sweater, socks and woolen cap. For me, it was not possible to buy it. I even had nothing in my bag when I came to study here. But God is so good . . .” —Amal, a Bible college student

Learn MoreMillions in Asia have no choice but to go to the bathroom out in the open, which poses many risks, especially for women and girls who venture into open fields under the cover of darkness. Constructing outdoor toilets spares families from disease found at communal waste grounds and protects the dignity of men and women.
“It is a commandment from the Bible to love the poor and the needy. So, whatever we do today, by helping the poor and the needy, we are actually fulfilling God’s commandment.” —Gunalan, a GFA-supported pastor

Learn MoreMany people in Asia do not have clean water, and as a result, they battle waterborne illnesses—or even succumb to death. Constructed of concrete, sand and rocks, BioSand water filters remove 98 percent of biological impurities. They provide safe water for drinking and cooking for a family and often for the neighbors too! The clean water will improve health and hygiene and will give peace of mind—all of which are expressions of Christ’s care.
“Now, no more struggle! Having a BioSand water filter was beyond our imagination.” —Erina, mother of three in Asia

Men and women who lack education are hindered in their ability to provide for the families, but with a sewing machine, they can earn a stable income by sewing clothes. The gift of a sewing machine can remove the hopelessness and poverty hanging over many families, and through this timely help, recipients can realize God’s care for them..
“I was really longing for a machine. ... I have no words to express my feelings and thanks to the church. ... This gift not only helps me to earn a daily income, but also it brought us close to the Living God.” —Romila, a sewing machine recipient and a sister in Christ

Learn MoreJesus Wells provide fresh water year-round, protecting communities from many waterborne illnesses and sparing women and children from spending hours searching for water sources. Clean water from a Jesus Well is freely offered to all, regardless of a person’s religious or social background, which communicates Christ’s acceptance of those society deems “untouchable.” Pastors serving near Jesus Wells are also able to share about the Living Water mentioned on the well’s plaque. Providing safe water is a practical way to show communities how much God and His children care for all people!
“I believe that God will do a miracle, that through this Jesus Well many people will come and glorify His name.” —Jeevan, a GFA-supported pastor whose community received a Jesus Well

Learn MoreIn many areas of Asia, widows are an invisible part of society. They are commonly ignored, rejected and believed to be cursed and the cause of their husbands’ deaths. Their own upbringing leads them to believe those same things about themselves.
Similarly, women who have been abandoned by their husbands face the sting of rejection—and the sudden crisis of needing to provide for their children in an environment often hostile to single mothers.
Whether a woman loses her husband through death or abandonment, she and her children face immense practical and emotional hardships, but the Body of Christ can offer support and hope. GFA’s Widows and Abandoned Children Fund provides food, shelter, income-generating gifts, dignity and God’s compassion to women and children in need.
“As a widow myself, I know of the struggles involved in providing for those I love. May my ‘mite’ help in a small way to meet the needs of other widows.” —Susan, a donor from Mississippi

Learn MoreLike so many other children who grow up in poverty on tea estates, Talat had little chance of getting a quality education. But odds against Talat were stacked even higher because his father had passed away. His mother labored as a domestic worker but couldn’t afford to feed Talat and his siblings three meals a day.
When a Bridge of Hope center opened up on the tea estate where they live, Talat got the life-changing opportunity to receive an education, a nutritious meal each day at the center, school supplies and even a mosquito net. Now Talat is learning many things through Bridge of Hope, and he has even discovered his talent for drawing there.
You can give other boys and girls a chance to flourish through GFA’s Bridge of Hope Programme—someone’s partnership made all the difference for Bina.

Learn MoreToday, national workers like Pastor Nateshwar (pictured) are bringing words of life and hope to people in places where Christ’s love hasn’t been known. They relate culturally and understand the communities they serve. They are willing to sacrifice everything so others can find the grace and new life Jesus offers. These men and women are an integral part of distributing Christmas gifts, also offering prayer and counsel to the gift recipients.
By giving toward the National Missionary Program, you’ll equip them to serve full time by covering their living and ministry expenses—resulting in lives transformed for eternity.
“The problem and persecution that I have faced is because of the love of Jesus. If I can help the poor and needy, I will encourage them. If I am able to [help] them in some extent, I will do it. That is because of the love of Jesus. I know Jesus loves them, so I love them.” —Pastor Nateshwar

Learn MoreWomen missionaries courageously serve in harsh areas to effectively bring hope to some of the most downtrodden people in Asia. They personally relate to the struggles of the women they meet and can minister to women and children unhindered by the cultural boundaries that male missionaries encounter. Women missionaries uplift communities by providing literacy training, prayer, counseling, discipleship for women in the local church, and news of hope for all who hunger for true love.
By sponsoring a woman missionary, you’ll enable them to minister to those forgotten by much of society. Uplifting the lives of women is one of the most significant ways to transform families and communities.

Learn MoreCan you imagine how many lives can be touched through the ministry of 100 national missionaries in Asia? Each one is usually impacting multiple communities. But these brothers and sisters can’t do it alone. They need people supporting them behind the scenes. At GFA, we call this the Mission Support Team.
The Mission Support Team comprises dedicated behind-the-scenes missionaries who raise their own support and live simply. Serving in graphic design, IT, grounds maintenance and many other areas of GFA’s administrative office, they promote awareness, provide support and engage in prayer for the ministry in Asia. Each one represents, on average, more than 100 national workers.
By sponsoring a behind-the-scenes missionary or family, you will help cover their living expenses—and you’ll be investing in the lives of national workers they serve.
“Why do I serve at GFA? ... It takes thousands of people partnered together, united in purpose and compassion, to help the world understand God’s love.” —Shelley, GFA behind-the-scenes missionary
