Tools for Missionaries
A native missionary with two sturdy feet, a strong voice and a compassionate heart is a powerful tool for the Lord. We can help them be even more effective by providing ministry tools that will assist them in reaching the lost.
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.
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.
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 $105.
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.
The opportunity for a Dalit child to receive an education and the love of Jesus is the best Christmas gift imaginable. Your Child Hope Packet will make it possible for an "Untouchable" child to go to school. Your gift helps provide school uniforms, books, tutoring and help with homework, at least one nutritious meal each day and a yearly medical checkup. Children in the program will also hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many times, entire families are changed through just one child. A $50 Hope Packet can change one child's life for all eternity.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 $24.
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 $1,750!
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 $16,000.
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 $350.
Motorbikes can carry two native missionaries at a time! A motorbike is an extremely useful and time saving tool, especially in hilly areas where pedaling a bicycle is difficult. The cost of a motorbike is $1,200.
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.
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.

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.
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.
