Kerosene Lanterns
Light the way for a missionary walking at night through remote villages without electricity. You can provide the valuable gift of a simple kerosene lantern for only $25.
LED Solar Light System
In areas where there is no electricity—such as low-caste or Dalit villages—good lighting at night is unobtainable for many. An LED solar light system, running on solar power with a seven-year battery, would be a special blessing for people in such places. For $100, you can provide an LED solar light system, a gift that will not only light up a home but also can point people to Jesus, the Light of the World.
Bio Sand Water Filter
Many poor regions of Asia have no source of pure drinking water. Using concrete and sand, these bio water filters remove impurities, providing water for drinking and cooking that is 98 percent pure. For $30, help provide pure water in an Asian village—and a chance for them to hear of the living water Jesus offers.
Bicycle
Many GFA supported missionaries spend many arduous hours walking from one village to another. With a bicycle a native 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 $110.
Motorbike
Motorbikes can carry two native missionaries at a time! A motorbike is an extremely useful and timesaving tool, especially in hilly areas where pedaling a bicycle is difficult. The cost of a motorbike is $1,060.
Gospel Literature
Help a native missionary share the story of our Savior 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 200 Gospel tracts for a native missionary to share.
GFA Bible Society
A chance to read the Bible on their own is a gift that every native missionary wants to give the people they minister among. You can provide a missionary and the believers he disciples with a Bible for $3 or eight New Testaments for $4.
Flip Charts
Illiteracy is still high in many Asian countries. Gospel flip charts are a necessary tool for native missionaries to communicate the Gospel to those who can't read. Flip charts are like large color picture books that illustrate the Gospel. Each flip chart costs $10.
Film Ministry
Man of Mercy, an Indian-made film on the life of Jesus, is one of the most effective ways to share the story of Jesus with Asian people. Already tens of thousands have given their lives to Christ as a result of watching this film. To share this amazing story with others, native 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. $1,600 buys one LCD projector kit.
LCD Projector Kit
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, native 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 $1,600!
Generator
How can you show a film about Jesus in a village without electricity? A generator allows thousands of people to see and hear why God sent His Son and respond to His love in a personal way. A portable generator is a gift that keeps giving for many years to come for only $1,800.
Fully Equipped Missionary Vehicle
A fully equipped vehicle—complete with an Indian-made film on the life of Christ, an LCD projector, generator, mobile public address system, Gospel tracts, Bibles and flip charts—is $21,000.
Missionary Vehicle
An entire native 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 $17,000.
Bullhorns
Open-air meetings are one of the most common ways native missionaries proclaim the Gospel in villages. With a bullhorn, a missionary can be heard up to a mile away while keeping his voice from going hoarse.
Mobile PA System
Open-air meetings are one of the most common ways native missionaries proclaim the Gospel in villages. With a mobile public address system, a missionary can be clearly heard by hundreds of villagers at once. You can give a mobile public address system for $375.
Church Building
The sounds of praise coming from a new church building are a dream for many congregations in Asia. With many new believers coming to Christ, there is a huge and ever-growing need for buildings to shelter them from the weather and anti-Christian forces. A church in India can be built for as little as $11,000.
Winter Clothing
What better present for a native missionary serving in mountain regions than warm winter clothing! Imagine a missionary opening a package that includes a blanket, two pairs of socks and a sweater. A man also receives a warm shirt and a pair of trousers, while a lady will have a warm shawl and skirt. Just $40 for the complete package.
Musical Instrument
Native 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. You can provide a drum for a missionary for $22 and tambourines for only $5 each.
Chickens
For the family of a Bridge of Hope child, a rooster and hen are not pets. They are the source of up to 40 dozen eggs a year! When the pair produces chicks, a flock develops that will provide nourishment and income for years.
Pair of Rabbits
You can give a pair of rabbits and help ensure a nutritious diet for growing families as they produce up to 40 bunnies a year! After a pair is given back to the church for distribution, additional offspring can also provide income for the family as well as nourishing meals.
Pigs
A pig may not sound like a typical gift, but if you were a poor South Asian family, it would be wonderful! A pair of pigs provides a litter of piglets every year, and bacon and pork can soon follow. Income from the sale of the piglets also aids the family, and as with all animals GFA provides, offspring given back to the church will help other families get a "leg up" economically and socially.
Goats
When a Dalit family receives your present of a goat or a pair of goats it will be a special day! Goats are hardy and can live in almost any climate. And a pair of goats produces at least two kids each year. Their manure is also good fertilizer. Your gift of goats will be a good way to bring a little joy to a poor family's world.
Lambs
Lambs are an eternal symbol of God's love for us in the gift of His Son. What better way to share His love with a poor family than through a lamb that can grow to provide wool for income and milk to drink. A pair of sheep can produce lambs that can be sold at market, and they are also a source of meat.
Cows
Cows seem to be everywhere in India but many poor families don't have one. Cows provide a lot of good milk to drink ... and to make yogurt, cheese and butter! They also produce calves that can be sold for income or used to produce even more dairy products for additional income. A dairy cow is one of the most valuable gifts you can give.
Water Buffalo
A gift of a water buffalo to a poor South Asian family is good news indeed! Transportation, plough animal, cart hauler, milk giver and more-all in one sturdy creature that is often considered a "member of the family."
Tool Kit
In India, planting season is vital for a poor, rural family. For $80 you can provide a set of tools for a family to grow their own nutritious crops and maintain their home throughout the year. A tool kit includes an axe, shovel, saw, plow, sickle and crowbar.
Sewing Machine
Remember your grandmother’s sewing machine? You may have seen one like many people in Asia still use today—operated by a foot treadle. For the poor of Asia, sewing is not just a hobby; it is an opportunity to earn a livelihood for their family. You can give a gift of a sewing machine for $85 that not only will put clothes on the backs of a mother’s children, but will put food on her family’s table as well.
Motorized Sewing Machine
For the poor of Asia, sewing is not just a hobby; it is an opportunity to earn a livelihood for their family. In places where electricity is available, a motorized sewing machine allows the work to be completed much faster. You can give a gift of a motorized sewing machine for $115 that not only clothes the family, but will put food on their table as well.
Battery Powered Radio
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 native 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 $40.
Blanket
On those blustery winter nights during the winter season, who doesn’t like to curl up under a warm, soft blanket? That’s not possible for many impoverished families in Asia. Many live in homes that lack sufficient heat and protection against the harsh winter elements. Your gift of $5 for a blanket will provide much-needed warmth and comfort.
Muslim Ministry
Over 200 million Muslims live in Asia. GFA is training and sending out native missionaries to reach them.
Slum Ministry
Millions lead desperate lives in the slums of Asia. Learn more about GFA's successful outreach to slums.
VBS Materials
Everyone loves a good story—especially one that's true and life-changing. Millions of children in Asia would love to hear the story of Jesus even once. For just $5, your gift of VBS materials for one of these precious children will guarantee that he or she will hear about Jesus' love again and again through skits, Bible songs and teaching and will have colorful Gospel literature to take home.
Persecution Relief Fund
Persecution is a part of life for many GFA missionaries. Beatings, death threats and imprisonment are a few of the things they encounter on a daily basis. But despite great hostility, they continue to press onward as they proclaim the Good News of Christ to the unsaved souls of Asia. They are not willing for any man to perish without hearing the name of Jesus, even if that means that they might physically perish.
Dalit Outreach
GFA Native missionaries are reaching out to India's 300 million Dalits ("Untouchables") through personal evangelism, radio programs, Gospel literature and much more.
Radio Programs
You can broadcast the story of Christ throughout India and other nearby countries through GFA Radio. Thousands have given their lives to the Lord through these programs in their own language. People who are exposed to the Gospel through radio tend to be more receptive to native missionaries when they visit. You can provide one 15-minute program for $45 or one hour of programming for $180.
House
Through GFA Compassion Services, you can provide a simple, strong house for a family for only $5,000—a house that will remind both parents and their children as they grow up that some people called Christians loved them enough to give them shelter ... and that their Jesus loves them as well.
Fishing Boats
On a nice day, you may enjoy taking your fishing boat out on the lake. For millions of families in Asia, fishing at sea is their primary source of livelihood. As a result of the Asian tsunami, thousands lost their boats and nets-and with them their means of supporting their families. Your gift of a boat for $2,500 will equip a family to provide for its daily needs-and demonstrate that Jesus loves them.
Jesus Wells
Jesus Wells, located near GFA churches or Bible colleges, provide hundreds of opportunities for missionaries to share the love of Jesus with the villagers who come for clean water. You can provide a Jesus Well for an entire community for $1,000.
Bible College Scholarships
Our goal is to instill in each student the vision to take the Gospel to the unreached; provide on-the-job training through ongoing outreach ministry; give them quality instruction in the Word of God; and prepare them for pioneer work, hardship, persecution and a life of faith through Jesus.
Vocational Training
In places like Sri Lanka and South India, where the 2004 tsunami displaced so many lives, and in teeming cities like Delhi and Bombay, the ability to make a decent living often involves vocational training that is beyond the reach of the poor. As a further witness to the Gospel, GFA is teaming up with local churches to offer training in such practical fields as welding, sewing or other basic trades.
Bible Colleges
Gospel for Asia currently has over 9,000 students training in over 54 Bible colleges.
Women's Ministry
The Scriptures show that the Lord has a special role for women to fulfill in His kingdom. The first person to whom God chose to announce His Son's earthly arrival was a woman. Through Jesus' ministry, He demonstrated His value of women in a male-dominated society—teaching them, touching them and healing them. And when He rose from the dead, women were the first to know.
Unsponsored Children
More than half of the 42,000 children in our Bridge of Hope program are waiting for permanent sponsors. Your gift here to the Unsponsored Children's Fund will help us provide for them.
Unsponsored Missionaries
GFA is praying for special friends to make one-time gifts to our Unsponsored Missionaries Fund. This allows us to provide for the native missionaries while they await sponsors.
Home Team Staff
Training and sending out missionaries, equipping them with the necessary tools and helping them establish churches wouldn't be possible without Gospel for Asia's home team staff. Each person on our staff has been called by God to work behind the scenes, serving both the native missionaries in Asia and the Body of Christ in the West. More than just a job, their work is a ministry that affects eternity.
Where Most Needed
Because 100% of all designated gifts are sent to fulfill specific purposes, your gift here can be used to meet whatever critical needs are facing the ministry of GFA, both in Asia and at our home offices.
