List of All Items - Gospel for Asia

Invisible Missionary (Radio)

Suggested donation: $45 for 15 Minutes; $180 for 1 Hour

Learn More

The Invisible Missionary (or GFA Radio Ministry) reaches into villages in South Asia that cannot be easily reached by foot. GFA Radio Ministries have seen lives transformed through the message of Christ's love. GFA Radio ministries in Asia receive thousands upon thousands of letters each year from men and women who have witnessed the power of God through the "invisible missionary"—the radio.

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. People who are exposed to the Gospel through radio tend to be more receptive to national missionaries when they visit. You can provide one 15-minute program for $45 or one hour of programming for $180. Your donation will send a message of hope through the airwaves.

Home Office Expenses

Learn More

Your gift keeps GFA's home offices running by covering the cost of everything from copy paper to the electric bill. These gifts allow home-team staff members to continue serving the missionaries in Asia!

Widows and Abandoned Children

Suggested donation: $75

Learn More

Blamed for their husband's death, widows in South Asian society are viewed as cursed and left to fend for themselves. Abandoned children face similar circumstances and are forced to provide for their own livelihood. These precious women and children need to hear that Jesus loves them. The Widows and Abandoned Children fund provides GFA-supported missionaries with the means to help these beloved women and children of God.

Behind-the-Scenes Missionaries Fund

Learn More

The behind-the-scenes missionaries in GFA’s administrative offices function as a key connection between ministry supporters in the West and on-the-ground national missionaries in Asia.

Your gift to the Behind-the-Scenes Missionaries Fund equips GFA personnel to continue their vital support of the field. Together, you will enable countless lives in Asia to be touched by the truth and kindness of God’s grace!

Field Ministries

Learn More

With your gift, you can help our national missionaries serving on the field reach the thousands who are waiting to hear about the true God. Think about the impact you could make in countless lives!

Flood Relief

Learn More

Bringing the love of Jesus to the flood victims. Your gift to GFA will help provide emergency relief and bring flood victims God's hope for a new life through Jesus Christ.

Where Most Needed

Learn More

Through donations to Gospel for Asia's Where Most Needed fund, we are able to tell more people about the opportunities to transform communities through Christ's love in Asia. Help us to do our part in fulfilling the Great Commission.

Suggested donation: $45 for 15 Minutes; $180 for 1 Hour

Learn More

Bicycle

Suggested donation: $110

Learn More

Many GFA supported missionaries spend many arduous hours walking from one village to another. With a bicycle a national 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 $110.

Tools of Hope

Suggested donation: $25

Learn More

Every worker needs tools to effectively accomplish their task, and GFA-supported workers are no exception. You can provide national workers with tools—like Bibles, literature, winter clothing or bicycles—that will help their ministries and show people God’s love.

Gospel Tracts

Suggested donation: $1 for 200 tracts

Learn More

Help a national 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 $1.00 will provide 200 Gospel tracts for a national missionary to share.

LCD Projector Kit

Suggested donation: $1,750

Learn More

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, national 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!

Motorbike

Suggested donation: $1,200

Learn More

Motorbikes can carry two national missionaries at a time! A motorbike is an extremely useful and time-saving tool, especially in hilly areas where pedalling a bicycle is difficult. The cost of a motorbike is $1,200.

Missionary Vehicle

Suggested donation: $17,000

Learn More

An entire national 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 $17,000. Be sure and watch the talking jeep video! I have quite a story to tell.

Musical Instrument

Suggested donation: $27

Learn More

National 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.

Kerosene Lantern

Suggested donation: $25

Learn More

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 $25.

Generator

Suggested donation: $1,800

Learn More

How do you show a movie about Jesus in a rural village that doesn't have electricity? You bring your own! In addition to powering film teams, generators are also a key part of Bible colleges, church conventions and pastors' meetings. Help share the Gospel by giving a missionary a generator for only $1,800.

VBS Scholarships

Suggested donation: $5

Learn More

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. They will also have colorful Gospel literature to take home.

Equipped Missionary Vehicle

Suggested donation: $21,000

Learn More

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.

Mobile Public Address System

Suggested donation: $375 each

Learn More

Open-air meetings are one of the most common ways national missionaries proclaim the love of Christ 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 $375.

Flip Charts

Suggested donation: $10

Learn More

Illiteracy is still high in many Asian countries. Gospel flip charts are a necessary tool for national 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.

Winter Clothing Packet

Suggested donation: $40

Learn More

What better present for a national missionary or family living in the cold mountain regions than warm winter clothing! Imagine a family's joy at opening a package that includes a warm jacket, sweater, shawl, blanket and, in certain regions, socks and gloves. For just $40, you can enable parents and missionaries to work throughout the winter while their families are protected from the cold.

Bullhorns

Suggested donation: $110

Learn More

Open-air meetings are one of the most common ways national 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.

Bibles

Suggested donation: $7 for Bibles and New Testaments

Learn More

A chance to read the Bible on their own is a gift that every national missionary wants to give the people they minister among. You can provide a missionary and the believers he disciples with Bibles and New Testaments.

Child Hope Packet

Suggested donation: $50

Learn More

The opportunity for a Dalit child to receive an education and the love of Jesus is the best 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.

Tool Kit

Suggested donation: $80

Learn More

In India, planting season is vital for a poor, rural family. For $80 you can provide a set of tools for a family to grow their own nutritious crops and maintain their home throughout the year. A tool kit includes an axe, shovel, saw, plow, sickle and crowbar.

Hope for Suffering Women

Suggested donation: $50

Learn More

Bring immediate aid to women in Asia by giving to the Hope for Suffering Women fund. This provides a struggling woman with simple things like a month's rent, food for her family or even basic medical care when it's hard to come by.

Sewing Machine

Suggested donation: $85

Learn More

"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.

BioSand Water Filter

Suggested donation: $30

Learn More

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 $30, help provide pure water in an Asian village—and a chance for them to hear of the living water Jesus offers.

Adult Tricycle

Suggested donation: $100

Learn More

People who lose the use of their legs suffer greatly in South Asian society. They can no longer walk or ride a bike or a motorcycle, which are the most common modes of transportation in their countries. These tricycles are adapted to be operated with the arms, rather than the legs. So even a person who is lame can still get where they need to go.

Blanket

Suggested donation: $12

Learn More

On those blustery winter nights during the winter 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 $12 for a blanket will provide much-needed warmth and comfort.

Fishing Boats

Suggested donation: $2,500

Learn More

On a nice day, you may enjoy taking your fishing boat out on the lake. For millions of families in Asia, fishing at sea is their primary source of livelihood. As a result of the Asian tsunami, thousands lost their boats and nets-and with them their means of supporting their families. Your gift of a boat for $2,500 will equip a family to provide for its daily needs-and demonstrate that Jesus loves them.

Fishing Net

Suggested donation: $25

Learn More

Millions of Asians rely on fishing to feed their families. In coastal areas, they can cast their nets upon the waters everyday and sell the fish to the local markets. Those in more interior villages fish on a seasonal basis to supplement their incomes. And the fishermen get a much larger profit since they don't have to rent or buy their own nets, leaving more money for essential household needs.

LED Solar Light System

Suggested donation: $105 each

Learn More

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 $105, 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.

Paddy Threshing Machine

Suggested donation: $85

Learn More

Harvesting rice is a laborious process that requires workers to spend hours separating the grains from the straw-like stalks. South Asian farmers have been doing this this work by hand for thousands of years. However, now they can save precious time by using a simple paddy threshing machine. The pedal-operated machine takes no more skill than riding a bicycle.

Embroidery Machine

Suggested donation: $155 each

Learn More

Asian clothing is often enhanced with intricate designs. For centuries, the needlework was painstakingly completed by hand. But today, there are embroidery machines to speed things along. This machine allows a seamstress or tailor to craft remarkably beautiful items to sell, while creating an income for themselves.

Pull Cart

Suggested donation: $120

Learn More

Carts piled high with fruit, vegetables, clothing or handcrafted items are a common site in South Asian cities. Working as a street vendor is a legitimate way to make a living. Yet many vendors struggle to earn enough money to even rent a cart. With their own cart, a vendor can save time and keep the entire profit for his family.

Rickshaw

Suggested donation: $200

Learn More

Rickshaws are like the taxis of Asia. For many low-caste people, being a rickshaw driver is the one opportunity they have to provide for their families. However, many have to rent a rickshaw every morning because they can’t afford their own. Up to half of their daily income can go toward renting this vital piece of equipment. With their very own rickshaw, these hardworking people can keep all that they earn to help pay for their family’s basic necessities.

Tin Sheets (1 set)

Suggested donation: $220

Learn More

The best South Asian homes are built using simple materials that will withstand the harsh natural elements. That's why many homes have roofs of tin sheets. The tin is lightweight and easy to install, yet durable enough to withstand the monsoon rains.

Vocational Training

Suggested donation: $30

Learn More

In places like Sri Lanka and South India, where the 2004 tsunami displaced so many lives, and in teeming cities like Delhi and Bombay, 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.

Mosquito Nets

Suggested donation: $10

Learn More

These nets offer protection from the sting of an infected mosquito and help to give their owner a restful nights sleep. Most households need several nets to protect everyone in the family. Save them from sickening agony or death from malaria for $10.

Invisible Missionary (Radio)

Suggested donation: $45 for 15 Minutes; $180 for 1 Hour

National Missionaries Fund

Learn More

With a focus to reach villages with the Good News, thousands of national missionaries work day after day to bring the message of hope to those who so desperately need to hear. Your gift to the National Missionaries Fund enables missionaries who are under-supported, especially those just starting out, to continue to work full-time reaching more people with Christ’s love without having to leave the field.

Women's Literacy Program

Suggested donation: $25

Learn More

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.

Church Building

Suggested donation: $10,000 to $40,000

Learn More

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.

Slum Ministry

Learn More

Tens of millions of people in Asia live in the squalor of slums—in one-room shanties, usually without electricity, running water or toilets. But through slum ministry, the Lord is giving people in slums the chance for a better life. Gospel for Asia-supported national workers serving in slums teach adult literacy classes and tutor children. They disseminate information about health and hygiene. They distribute income-generating gifts, along with practical gifts, like water filters, toilets and clothing. They also share with slum dwellers about the greatest gift anyone could gain: the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.

Medical Ministry

Suggested donation: $375

Learn More

Gospel for Asia’s Medical Ministry teams of trained nurses and doctors visit dozens of villages, and Bridge of Hope Centers, ministering to thousands of people each year, all in the name of the Great Physician—Jesus Christ.

Jesus Wells

Suggested donation: $1,400

Learn More

Jesus Wells, often located near GFA-supported 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 $1,400.

Film Ministry

Suggested donation: $1,750

Learn More

Countless people have taken ahold of the hope found in Christ after seeing Man of Mercy, a movie depicting the life of Christ. Teams doing film ministry use an LCD projector kit to show such movies. To offer more people the same opportunity, donate to film ministry to provide items like LCD projector kits.

Bibles

Suggested donation: $7 for Bibles and New Testaments

Learn More

Leprosy Ministry

Learn More

The main goal of our leprosy ministry is to share the love of Jesus and the hope of the Gospel with the victims of this disfiguring disease. At the same time, we seek to help them with the many needs and challenges they face in their personal lives, their families and their colonies.

Dalit Ministry

Learn More

GFA-supported national missionaries are reaching out to India's 300 million Dalits ("Untouchables") through the sharing of Jesus' love, radio programs, literature distribution and much more.

Women's Ministry

Learn More

The Scriptures show that the Lord has a special role for women to fulfill in His kingdom. The first person to whom God chose to announce His Son's earthly arrival was a woman. Through Jesus' ministry, He demonstrated His value of women in a male-dominated society—teaching them, touching them and healing them. And when He rose from the dead, women were the first to know.

Widows Ministry

Learn More

Your gift enables pastors in Asia to help widows in need and buy them income-producing necessities (like sewing machines and farm animals) and much-needed supplies (like blankets and water filters). Widows will not only hear that Christ cares for them, but they will also experience His love firsthand and see how He gives them dignity, peace and eternal life.

Compassion Services

Learn More

Gospel for Asia's Compassion Services is bringing Christ's love to the suffering and needy in very practical ways. GFA-supported missionaries and volunteers assist survivors of natural disasters by providing food, water, medical care, clothing and even shelter. Teams also minister to slum dwellers and leprosy patients in some of Asia's major cities. And all is done with a clear Gospel witness.

Bible Colleges

Learn More

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 start fellowships among all the unreached people groups of the Indian subcontinent and the neighboring countries.

Persecution Relief Fund

Learn More

Daily, our brothers and sisters on the field face the reality of persecution for their faith in Christ. It's not uncommon for angry mobs of anti-Christians to beat up believers, burn down churches and torture pastors.

By contributing to persecution relief, you'll be a part of paying the medical expenses for believers, which can also include travel to bigger hospitals for treatment.

The funds will also be used to replace destroyed Gospel literature, rebuild houses and repair damaged church buildings, providing healing for all aspects of life touched by persecution-related attacks.

Cyclone Relief

Learn More

On-going Cyclone Relief efforts:
Gospel for Asia Compassion Services teams are already on the ground caring for the victims of a powerful cyclone that ravaged West Bengal, India, and the neighboring country of Bangladesh.
Rebuilding Myanmar could take years. And since our missionaries, churches and Bible college students are indigenous, they will be there for the long haul.
Nargis Survivors Find New Hope Amid Suffering

Bible College Scholarships

Learn More

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.

House

Suggested donation: $5,000

Learn More

Through GFA Compassion Services, you can provide a simple, strong house for a family for only $5,000—a house that will remind both parents and their children as they grow up that some people called Christians loved them enough to give them shelter ... and that their Jesus loves them as well.

Child Hope Packet

Suggested donation: $50

Learn More

Unsponsored Children

Learn More

Many of the 70,000 children in our Bridge of Hope program are waiting for permanent sponsors. Your gift here to the Unsponsored Children's Fund will help us provide for them.

Cows

Suggested donation: $375 each

Learn More

Cows and the milk they produce help families grow stronger, healthier and more financially secure.

“After the death of my husband, I was really helpless and broken, but [my pastor] encouraged me time and time again to stand firm in faith. Now I am very happy to have a cow. ... This cow will give birth; then I can get milk from this cow. I will sell the milk to the milk factory to get money for the expenses of my family. My children will also have milk to drink. This cow will be really an amazing gift for our living. Thank you.” —Danna, a widow and mother of four children in Asia

Lambs

Suggested donation: $65 each

Learn More

When a lamb matures and produces offspring, its rich milk is an excellent source of calcium, an essential nutrient for young children. Income from selling milk or offspring can provide education, food, medical care or a multitude of other valuable needs for families. And healthier, stronger families mean healthier, stronger communities!

Water Buffalo

Suggested donation: $460 each

Learn More

Water buffalo are powerful animals often used to plow fields. They produce milk for drinking or selling, and their dung can be used as fuel for cooking. A water buffalo will greatly improve a family’s financial situation!

“We are so excited to be able to help them out through Gospel for Asia and give a needy family a water buffalo! We’re also thrilled that they will be hearing the Good News of Christ! Nothing is better than that!” —Kristen, a donor from Pennsylvania

Pigs

Suggested donation: $65 per pair

Learn More

These portly critters bring powerful financial breakthroughs to needy families. Piglets fetch a good price in market, which enables families to buy whatever they need, and adult pigs provide ample meat for selling or eating.

“I am so happy for God providing me these two piglets. ... I have already started thinking about what to do with these piglets. ... I will give them good food so that they grow big. In the future, they will give birth to several piglets. I am already seeing that these pigs will bring . . . income to my family.” —Laghuvi, a mother who received two piglets

Goats

Suggested donation: $140 per pair

Learn More

Goats can rapidly improve a family’s financial situation. In the case of one father, one pair of goats multiplied and enabled him to start a goat farm, which later grew to hold more than 75 goats he could milk or sell. He built a house for his family and sent his children to school, offering them a better future than his parents were able to offer him when he was a child.

Chickens

Suggested donation: $11 per pair

Learn More

The gift of chickens supplements a family’s income and often helps a family get on its feet financially. Families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell. These birds of a feather multiply quickly, taste just like chicken and are really cheep!

“We encouraged our youth group to bring a donation to the youth group Christmas party so we could bless several families with chickens! It was fun to see the students participate by bringing what they were able, and we were thankful because it got them thinking outside of themselves and about the needs of others around the world.”—Matt, a donor from Michigan

Outdoor Toilet

Suggested donation: $160

Learn More

Approximately 2.4 million deaths could be prevented annually if people had appropriate hygiene practices, including reliable sanitation. Nearly 20 percent of the world's population is forced to go to the bathroom out in the open. For only $160, you will help reduce the risk of common diseases by providing a family with an outdoor toilet. The external structure will vary, however each unit includes a dual-tank system for optimized sanitation.
