How Sponsorship Works
- It takes between $120 and $210 per month to support a national missionary through Gospel for Asia.
- By sponsoring for just $30 per month, you can be a part of their lives and impact Asia together with them.
- 100% of your sponsorship money goes to the field. Nothing is taken out for other expenses.
- You will receive a copy of your missionary's picture and testimony in the mail when you sponsor.
- As a sponsor, you are asked to pray regularly for your missionary. Your prayers are vital for the success of their work on the field.
- You will receive regular reports about your missionary and his or her co-workers. The updates will take you to your missionary's region and show you the ministries taking place and the people lives being touched.

Common Questions
- Can I write to my national missionary?
- Because of security reasons and the enormous overhead it would create, we are unable to allow direct correspondence with your national missionaries. Most have little or no knowledge of English, and GFA does not have sufficient staff to translate thousands of personal letters. Most importantly, national missionaries must not be viewed as working for a foreign agency, as this could severely hinder their work among the non-Christian communities and place their lives in danger.
- How will I receive news from my missionary?
- It is our sincere desire to keep you updated on what is happening on the field. We do this through our SEND! magazine and monthly letters. You will also regional updates from the region that your missionary is serving in.
- Can I send my missionary a special gift?
- In the spirit of unity and equality, a policy has been set in our India office not to give special monetary gifts directly to a missionary. However, you may send a monetary gift of any amount and designate it as a special gift for your missionary. While the gift will not be given directly to your missionary, he or she will receive the benefit of the gift in that extra funds will be available to meet personal needs as well as for ministry tools such as Gospel tracts, Bibles, a bicycle, etc.
- Will $30 per month be enough to fully support my missionary?
- It takes between US$120 and US$210 per month to fully support a national missionary, including family support and ministry expenses. We generally assign several sponsors to each missionary in $30 increments to reach the full support of between US$120 and US$210 per month. Distributing a missionary's support in this manner provides for greater prayer support and prevents the complete loss of income in the event a sponsor is forced to discontinue.
