Mission and Distinctives

GFA Mission

Our mission in life is to be devout followers of Christ and to fulfill the Great Commission among the unreached in Asia through training, sending out and assisting qualified laborers in partnership with the Body of Christ.

GFA Distinctives

100 percent of Support Dollars Sent to the Field

When a donor sends in the monthly support for their missionary, nothing is deducted for administrative purposes—100 percent is sent directly to the mission field for its intended purpose.

Focusing on the Unreached
Our focus and goal as a ministry is to reach people in the 10/40 Window who have never heard about God's love. Nearly 3 billion people in the world are still unreached with the Gospel. In India alone, there are over 500,000 villages with no Gospel witness.

Training and Sending Native Missionaries
Native missionaries have few or no cultural barriers to overcome. They can readily share the Gospel with those who, unlike their western counterparts, have never heard. While national workers do face difficult obstacles as they take the message from village to village, they still have an enormous advantage over their co-workers from North America and other non-Asian lands.

GFA currently has 54 Bible colleges where nearly 9,000 students are preparing to become full-time church planters among those who have never heard.

Tremendous Results by God's Grace
Because of their faithfulness and willingness to sacrifice, native missionaries have been able to share the love of Jesus Christ with literally millions of men, women and children who had never heard His name. Across Asia today, believers joyfully worship the Lord in places where no church existed before.

But none of this has come easily. Our native missionaries are paying a high price of suffering, hardship and intense persecution to see people reached with Christ's love.

The churches that have emerged in each culture are truly indigenous in character, self-governing, self-propagating and, as soon as possible, self-supporting.

Training Tomorrow's Leaders at the GFA Biblical Seminary
Six hundred students now attend Gospel for Asia Biblical Seminary in India, where they are growing in their walks with Christ and being trained to fulfill His Great Commission in Asia.
