Gospel for Asia – Welcome
For over 40 years, Gospel for Asia, inspired by Jesus’ love for helping the poor, has provided hope and help to impoverished children, families and their communities to free them from persistent cycles of generational poverty, especially poverty in Asia.
Gospel for Asia (GFA World) is providing solutions to poverty and education for the less fortunate children of Asia and Africa, especially those subject to gender inequality in school. We also help communities overcome fundamental problems like water scarcity and water stress and lack of sanitation; we’re involved in ministering to leprosy patients; we’re helping victims of floods and other natural disasters; and we’re involved in literature distribution in various languages for adult literacy, character development and an understanding of God’s hope.
We are a considerable clean water charity with various clean water solutions and types of water wells, as well as one of the few poverty organizations in South Asia that provides well drilling for access to clean water. We are also excited about future water projects in Africa to address the global water crisis.
You Can Make a Difference by Supporting a Child or Missionary
Partnering with Gospel for Asia to sponsor boys or girls in developing countries, or even National Missionaries, is the first step in changing the life of a family in Asia, or seeing a whole village transformed through Christ’s love by overcoming a poverty mindset. In addition, you can also donate clean water to help people in Asia and Africa, and provide solutions to poverty like adult literacy.
Gospel for Asia’s Child Sponsorship Program
GFA World’s child sponsorship program is designed to rescue thousands of children in Asia from a life of poverty and hopelessness, or even child exploitation. (What is exploitation?) As a girl education charity, we give children an education and introduce them to the love of God. Each child will receive a quality education, school uniforms, medical care, a nutritious, regular meal and the opportunity to hear of God’s love for them. This also helps enrolled kids overcome the devastating effects of child labor.

Missionary Sponsorship
With few or no cultural barriers to overcome, national missionaries can readily share about the hope found in Christ to those who have never heard. Although national missionaries do face many difficulties, they still have an enormous advantage over their coworkers from North America and other non-Asian lands.
Woman Missionary Sponsorship
Through the heroic efforts of GFA women missionaries who have dedicated their lives to bringing Gods love to the women of Asia, we can reach these women with the hope found in Christ. In many Asian cultures, genders rarely mix, so traditional male missionaries are severely limited in ministering to women. However, it is possible to send trained, dedicated women missionaries to minister to the millions who still wait to hear that they are precious to Jesus.
GFA missionaries are trained and are driven by a passion: to relieve the pain and suffering of women in Asia by introducing them to the love of Jesus Christ, and by addressing the causes of poverty, like functional illiteracy. Gospel for Asia missionaries often face scandals, hindrances, beatings and imprisonment to tell hurting women about a Savior who offers hope for eternity, and strength for today.
Hundreds of thousands of Asian women’s lives are being transformed by GFA’s dedicated women missionaries, as we teach people how to learn to read, for adults especially, but millions more still wait for assistance.
