Gospel for Asia

The mission of Gospel for Asia is to reach the unreached of Asia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and fulfill the Great Commission through recruiting, training, sending and assisting qualified laborers to win the lost and plant local churches in partnership with the body of Christ.

100 percent of Support Dollars Sent to the Field When a donor sends in the monthly support for their missionary, nothing is deducted for administrative purposes--100% is sent directly to the mission field for its intended purpose.

Focusing on the Unreached
Gospel for Asia's focus and goal as a ministry is to reach the 2.7 billion people in the 10/40 Window who have never heard about the love of God. In India alone, there are over 500,000 villages with no Gospel witness.

Training and Sending Native Missionaries
Native missionaries have few or no cultural barriers to overcome. They can readily share the Gospel with those who, unlike their western counterparts, have never heard. While national workers do face difficult obstaclesas they take the message from village to village, they still have an enormous advantage over their coworkers from North America and other non-Asian lands. GFA currently has 133 Bible schools where nearly 7,000 students are preparing to become full-time church planters among those who have never heard.

Tremendous Results by God's Grace
Currently, more than 21,000 churches and mission stations have been planted by Gospel for Asia native missionaries where no church existed before. On average, our missionaries establish 12 fellowships every day in Asia among unreached villages and people groups. But none of this has come easily. Our native missionaries are paying a high price of suffering, hardship and intense persecution to see churches established. The churches planted in each culture are truly indigenous in character, self-governing, self-propagating and, as soon as possible, self-supporting.

Training Tomorrow's Leaders at the GFA Biblical Seminary
Over 600 students now attend Gospel for Asia Biblical Seminary in India, where they are being trained to become devout followers of Christ and to fulfill the Great Commission in Asia....
