Donor Story:
Jason and Melanie See the Impact of Their Donations
“It's a gift to [us] to be able to sow into this ministry. It's been everything to us. It's a blessing for us to be able to [give].”
—Jason and Melanie
Jason and Melanie have partnered with GFA since 2006. In October 2018, they saw firsthand how their giving was used on the mission field.
Experience with them the joy of seeing the church building and Jesus Well they helped provide.
“It’s really indescribable how I was feeling in that moment. Very touched that I was going to be able to, not even just see the well, but meet the people that get to use the well,” says Melanie.
We thank God for their selfless giving. Because of them, these villagers can now tangibly experience the love of Jesus.
Church Buildings Are Helping Communities Seek Christ
A church building is one of the most powerful tools for the growth of a congregation. It:
- Provides a consistent, welcoming location for new people 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.
- Provides a safe haven from the ridicule of those who oppose worship gatherings.
- 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.
