For nearly 40 years, behind-the-scenes missionaries have served in GFA World’s administrative offices as a crucial link between the mission field and the Western Church. They work hard to communicate with GFA supporters in their country in order to raise resources for the field.

When you stand with behind-the-scenes missionaries, you enable them to continue in their role while providing the field with prayer and the financial support needed for ministry.

Children in developing countries all over the world, like their parents before them, are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They lack access to tools that would break the cycle and change things for themselves and future generations.

But Child Sponsorship helps free these children from the cycle of poverty, and through our community development approach, it changes their families and communities, too! Together we can fulfill Christ’s command to care for and love children in poverty.

National missionaries bring words of life and hope to people in places where Christ’s love has never been shared. They do so by:

• Understanding the communities they serve.
• Living sacrificially so others can find grace and new life in Jesus.
• Filling an integral role in distributing gifts.
• Providing immediate aid to communities experiencing crisis.
• Freely offering prayer and counsel to gift recipients and their communities.

When you support the National Missionary program, you enable missionaries to serve full time, resulting in lives changed for eternity.

Women missionaries courageously serve in harsh areas to bring hope to some of the most downtrodden people, especially women and children. Their ministry can take a variety of forms, such as literacy training, prayer, counseling, discipleship for women, 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.

Vocational training courses equip people for occupations such as tailoring or candle making. The classes help people get better jobs so they can break out of the cycle of poverty and provide better lives for their families.

Most families in the impoverished areas in which GFA serves have little or no insulation or heating in their homes. Those who sleep on the streets are even more exposed to the cold. Blankets provide comfort and protection and serve as tangible expressions of Christ’s love.

Jesus Wells provide fresh water year-round, protecting communities from waterborne illnesses and sparing women and children from spending hours fetching water. Obtaining clean water is vital for safe hygiene and supporting healthy immune systems.

Providing safe water—either by drilling a new well or maintaining one—is a practical way to show communities how much God cares for all people!

Many impoverished women lack education, and this limits their job opportunities. If a woman has lost her husband, or if he doesn’t earn enough, she may be powerless to provide for herself and her children. A sewing machine can allow her to start a productive business and meet her family’s needs.

Many people in the areas we serve do not have clean water, and as a result, battle waterborne illnesses—or even succumb to death. Made with simple materials, these filters remove 98% of biological impurities, providing safe water for drinking and cooking for a family. Enabling improved health, improved hygiene and peace of mind, clean water shows Christ’s compassion.

More than a billion people worldwide 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. Private outdoor toilets spare families from disease found at communal waste grounds and protects the dignity of men and women.

Tool kits include items such as axes, shovels, saws, plows, sickles and crowbars. Having the right tools increases a farmer’s productivity so fields can yield more. This increases the farmer’s income and ability to provide food, clothing, shelter and a better life for their family.

“When I see the condition of [these] people, their poverty, . . . it hurts me. It pains me to see them suffering. I wish I could bring changes in their lives.” —Kanak, a GFA pastor

Roofs made of thatch are a common sight across Africa and Asia, but they don’t offer good protection from annual monsoon rains, which means families must spend precious resources repairing or replacing their possessions. These lightweight, sturdy tin roofs give needy families a safe, dry place to call home.

These functional vehicles can mean the world to the needy families who receive them. Instead paying a high price to rent a rickshaw, rickshaw drivers can take home all their earnings to care for their families and send their children to school.

“After getting the rickshaw, it is easier for me to earn money. ... I can easily maintain my family, and we do not worry about what to eat in the morning and in the evening.” — Prabhal, a father of two

Pull carts enable families to carry their wares wherever potential customers gather. Pull cart recipients are able to grow their existing businesses or even start new ones!

“With the pull cart, I can travel around and sell onions and potatoes. Wherever I find a suitable place, I stand and sell. My earnings have also increased.” —Bhrithi, a 38-year-old widow who was tearful and speechless when she received her pull cart

Malaria is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquito nets save lives and offer a restful night’s sleep, free from the sting of disease-laden mosquitoes.

Millions of people in Asia and Africa rely on fishing to feed their families. The people who receive these fishing nets can cast them upon the waters every day and sell the fish they catch in local markets.

Giving to medical ministry can help provide free medical care and health education to people who are suffering—and even dying—from treatable ailments. One medical camp can serve 200 to 1,000 people, meaning countless families can receive lifesaving treatment and health education, all in the name of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ.

In many areas we serve, widows are an invisible part of society—ignored, rejected and, sometimes considered cursed, the cause of their husbands’ deaths.

There are also millions of children who must fend for themselves: orphans, runaways or abandoned children. Alone and unprotected, these individuals face immense hardships. That’s why we seek to minister to these precious women and children.

When women learn to read, they can avoid harmful labor contracts, understand warning labels and avoid being cheated at the marketplace. GFA World supports literacy classes that teach women how to read and write. After they graduate from these literacy classes, women are also able to read God’s Word and can grow in their relationship with Him.

Cows, and the milk they produce, help families grow healthier and more financially secure. A cow’s milk can be consumed, adding nutrients to the family’s diet, or sold, adding to the family’s income. The cow’s manure serves as a fertilizer for farmers, resulting in a better harvest. As cows multiply, so does the financial benefit and the family’s hope.

A sheep’s rich milk is an excellent source of calcium—an essential nutrient for young children—and makes delicious cheese. Income from selling milk or lambs can provide education, food, medical care or a multitude of other valuable needs for families. And healthier, stronger families mean healthier, stronger communities!

Water buffalo are powerful animals often used to plough fields. They produce milk for drinking or selling, and their dung can be used as fuel for cooking. Your gift towards a water buffalo could greatly improve a family’s financial situation!

These portly critters bring powerful financial breakthroughs to needy families. Piglets fetch a good price at market, which enables families to buy whatever they need, and adult pigs provide ample meat for selling or eating.

Your gift toward goats can improve a family’s financial situation. In the case of one father, one pair of goats multiplied and enabled him to start a goat farm, resulting in more than 75 goats to milk or sell. He built a house for his family and sent his children to school, offering his children a better future .

Your gift towards chickens can help supplement a family’s income and often helps a family get on its feet financially. Hungry 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.

A motorcycle enables a pastor to serve distant fellowships, giving people the leadership, counsel and prayer they need to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

You can provide a motorcycle for only $1,200, or you can help share the cost with your gift of $120.

Harsh winters force many people indoors, hindering villagers from finding jobs and limiting pastors’ ability to minister. Winter clothing packets help GFA missionaries stay healthy for ministry during cold seasons. Winter clothing distributed to the poor protects the vulnerable from freezing cold.

Depending on the region, a winter clothing packet may include a:

• Blanket
• Jacket
• Sweater or other warm items

Bicycles help national missionaries save time, energy and transportation expenses, dramatically increasing their ability to minister. These sturdy bicycles enable national missionaries to respond quickly to people asking for prayer and to carry the news of Christ farther and faster.

Our mission is to establish churches where there are none—in communities that have never heard the Good News of Christ. Because of this, fledgling congregations often lack a permanent structure for worship. Meetings and ministries can be hindered because the church family does not have space to gather. Your gift can help build or repair buildings and provide decades of safer worship.

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"!

Many believers in areas we serve are first-generation believers who grew up knowing nothing of God’s ways, and they’re hungry for His Word. Your donation helps give people a copy of God’s Word, enabling them to grow in their knowledge of God and walk more closely with Him.

For many people in remote areas, a piece of Gospel literature is the first step in their journey of knowing Jesus. Oftentimes, Gospel literature will be read aloud to others who are illiterate or passed on to someone else who will read it and pass it on to yet another person.
