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. This Christmas, you can give a gift of a sewing machine for $80 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.

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. This Christmas, you can give a gift of a motorized sewing machine for $110 that not only clothes the family, but will put food on their table as well.

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 $25, help provide pure water in an Asian village—and a chance for them to hear of the living water Jesus offers.

On those blustery winter nights during the Christmas 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.

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.

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.

A new house for Christmas? Sounds like a dream. But it is also the dream of people in Asia who have lost everything in a natural disaster or who have lived their entire lives in a shanty. Through GFA Compassion Services, a simple, sturdy house can be provided for a family for only $5,000. This house will remind both parents and their children that some people called Christians loved them enough to provide shelter for them...and that Jesus loves them as well.

The Christmas story is just one of the hundreds of programs people in Asia can hear over GFA Radio. These battery-operated radios are perfect for people who live in remote places without electricity. They are also portable, making it easy for people to carry them wherever they go. You can give a family the opportunity to listen to these life-giving broadcasts by providing a battery-powered radio for $35.

Everyone loves a good story—especially one that’s true and life-changing. Millions of children in Asia would love to hear the Christmas story even once. Through Gospel for Asia’s VBS program, precious boys and girls are hearing the wonderful message of Christmas again and again through skits, Bible songs and teaching. For just $1, your gift of VBS materials will help make this an unforgettable experience.
