Winter Clothing Packet

Suggested donation: $50

Harsh winters force many people indoors, hindering villagers from finding jobs and limiting pastors’ ability to minister. Winter clothing packets help GFA missionaries stay healthy and able to minister during cold seasons. Winter clothing distributed to the poor protects the vulnerable from freezing cold.

Depending on the region, a winter clothing packet may include:

• Blanket
• Jacket
• Sweater
• Sweater or other warm items

“These days, cold is increasing rapidly. I received warm clothes at the right time. … I am sure [the clothes] will keep my body warm. I am thankful … for the love that is shown to me.” —Sister Paisli, a national missionary

Church Building

Suggested donation: $14,000 – $56,200

Fledgling congregations often lack a permanent structure to use for worship services, which exposes them to a host of problems. Their meetings—and ministries—are also hindered simply because they do not have space to gather as a church family. Your gift helps us to build and repair buildings. Even a gift of $80 can help provide decades of safer worship; with others sharing the cost, a church can be built!

A place of worship:

• Testifies to the local community of the Lord’s presence and the credibility and stability of the local congregation.
• Protects believers from outside dangers during worship services.
• Offers a safe, welcoming location for visitors from any background who want to learn about Jesus.
• Serves as a center for relief distributions during times of crisis.
• Frees believers to worship openly and exuberantly without worrying about disturbing their landlords or neighbors.
• Shelters believers from heavy rain and intense summer heat.

A permanent place of worship varies in costs to construct, depending on size, location and available materials.

“Church is a place where I come to worship the Lord after a whole week of toil. Church is a very special place, and the new building has made it more special, and I am very happy.” —Sinjin, a believer whose congregation received a new building in place of its old, overcrowded one

Broadcasting the Good News

Suggested donation: $56 - $225

Broadcasting provides the opportunity for communities to learn about the love of Christ through radio programming, social media platforms and other key internet communication channels. Through these avenues, people across Asia-and even beyond-can discover powerful truths in God's Word. National workers write and record messages that are relevant to the cultures and struggles of each audience region, which strengthens people's ability to understand the full meaning of God's mercy. Your gift this year can truly "go tell it on the mountain"!

Holy Scriptures

Suggested donation: $13

Many believers in areas we serve are first-generation believers who grew up knowing nothing of God’s ways, and they’re hungry for His Word. Your donation helps give people a copy of God’s Word, enabling them to grow in their knowledge of God and walk more closely with Him.

Gospel Literature

Suggested donation: $12.50

For many people in remote areas, a piece of Gospel literature is the first step in their journey of knowing Jesus. Oftentimes, Gospel literature will be read aloud to others who are illiterate or passed on to someone else who will read it and pass it on to yet another person.
