Nobody likes being cold. When chilly temperatures arrive, we pull out warm sweaters, thick socks and piles of blankets. Families in Asia are equally eager to stay warm during cold weather, especially because millions of them live in drafty huts or even on the streets. But the families in these conditions live hand to mouth, trying to meet their needs for today. How can they save money to buy necessities like blankets? Many simply can't.
Whether people live on the streets or on a mountainside, winter threatens the lives of those caught unprepared. Cold weather is especially dangerous for children and the elderly, but it can cause illness or death in anyone who is exposed to the elements for too long.
GFA-supported workers distribute thick, quality blankets to families in dire need of protection. Giving a warm blanket in Jesus' name to someone whose life is in jeopardy communicates a message of love, honor and hope.
"It was my heart's desire to have my own blanket. I was not able to buy one blanket for myself. I thank God for giving me the blanket. … Because of this distribution program, I took part in God's blessing." —Hamesha, a woman who received a warm blanket
GFA workers distribute thick, quality blankets to families in dire need of protection. Giving a warm blanket in Jesus' name to someone whose life is in jeopardy communicates a message of love, honor and hope. Hear Benjamin, a GFA behind-the-scenes missionary, share the story of Rayna, a 125-year-old woman who was blessed with a blanket.
Our numbers represent the Lord’s work in 2019 through GFA and our partnerships worldwide as we follow Him in His work in 16 Asian nations, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
One good-quality, heavy blanket costs $25.
"Where do you come [from]? You are concerned and have covered me with a nice blanket. I am so happy to get this blanket. Thank you so much." —Pawan (60), who used to shiver from the cold but now owns a warm blanket
