Vocational Training

Vocational Training

Suggested donation: $75

In places like Sri Lanka and South India, where the 2004 tsunami displaced so many lives, and in teeming cities like Delhi and Mumbai, the ability to make a decent living often involves vocational training that is beyond the reach of the poor. As a further witness to the Gospel, GFA is teaming up with local churches to offer training in such practical fields as welding, sewing or other basic trades.

"Sewing" Seeds for Eternity with the Gift of a Sewing Machine

Many families work as laborers; sometimes having to sell their children just to earn enough money to support their family. By providing a sewing machine to those in need, they now have a chance to start their own tailoring business. Once the sewing machine is given, classes are provided so people can start putting their new machines to good use.

Give a Family Hope for the Future

With the funds provided by making and repairing clothes in their community, people who formerly had no hope can now send their children to school and provide for their family. Please provide a practical gift in Jesus’ name to those who need it most.

If you would like to do more, consider gathering your friends and family to raise money for sewing machines. Visit myGFA.org to find out more.

Church Building

Church Building

Suggested donation: $80 to $10,000

A church building is one of the most powerful tools for the growth of a congregation. It:

  • Presents a consistent, welcoming location for visitors from any background who want to learn about Jesus.
  • Frees believers to worship openly and exuberantly without worrying about disturbing their landlords or neighbors.
  • Protects believers from intense summer heat and rain.
  • Offers a safe haven for those experiencing opposition.
  • Encourages a sense of permanency, credibility and stability for the congregation among the local community.
  • Becomes a hub for ministry activities.

When you donate toward church buildings, you are investing in a place that will be filled with praise, prayer and discipleship, displaying the beauty and wonder of God.

Constructing a church building costs between $10,000 to $40,000, depending on size, location and available materials.

Women's Literacy Program

Women's Literacy Program

Women's Literacy Classes Teach Scripture and Skills
Women across South Asia gather each week for literacy classes where they learn reading, writing and math skills. When a woman completes the course, she's able to read warning labels to protect her children and understand contracts to avoid bonded labor. She won't get cheated at the marketplace because she will finally know how to add. And she can read the Bible for herself and teach it to her children.
Empower Women with the Ability to Read
These women must become better equipped to survive in a society that frequently takes advantage of them. Classrooms are available and willing teachers are ready—all these eager students need is a literacy book and something to write on. Please donate toward these effective teaching tools.
