Reaching the most unreached in our generation is the vision God has given to Gospel for Asia. For this to become a reality, we realized years ago that we would need to send out many more pioneer missionaries to begin church planting work among all the unreached people groups of the Indian subcontinent and the neighboring countries.

To date 67 major Bible colleges have been established in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and at the Bhutan border. Currently, more than 9,000 young men and women are currently receiving training.

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.

The three-year training course is intensive and the classes are held in the local or tribal language. Apart from their studies, priority is given to personal character building and prayer.

Each of the teachers has years of experience as church planters and evangelists, and they regularly accompany the students for outreach ministry.

Since each Bible college is located right on the mission field, student teams will often plant churches and take care of new fellowships alongside their studies.

Ninety-eight percent of our graduates minister in places where the Gospel has never been preached before.

Frequently, our Bible college graduates will establish a fellowship within their first year in the field.

Student admission requirements:
  • must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
  • must have a call from God to full-time ministry
  • must be committed to go to unreached areas
  • must be able to read and write in his or her mother tongue


The first GFA Bible college opened in 1992 in Tamil Nadu. To date GFA missionaries have planted literally thousands of churches.
