Donate to Christian Missionaries: Transform Lives in Africa and Asia
When you donate to Christian missionaries, you’re making a lasting impact on the lives of people. Through GFA World, your support helps national missionaries, who are uniquely positioned to share the Good News of Christ in Africa and Asia. For over 45 years, GFA World has been training and empowering local workers, who understand their communities and cultures better than anyone else, to become missionaries to establish churches in places where there are none. Your gift will help these missionaries bring hope and eternal change to the people they serve.
The need for the Good News of Christ is urgent in the 10/40 Window, where most of the world’s unreached people live.[1] With a global daily death rate of around 171,000 in 2024[2] and the Joshua Project’s assessment that 43.3% of the world’s population is unreached, [3] this translates to an estimated 74,000 people dying daily without ever hearing the message of Jesus. It’s heartbreaking to think that many of these individuals will never experience the life-changing love of Christ. Your donation can make all the difference. By choosing to donate to Christian missionaries, you are giving people the chance to hear the Good News of Christ. You could used by God to help change their eternity!
National missionaries are men and women who are from the countries where they serve.[4] This model has proven incredibly effective in reaching communities hard for outsiders to access. These missionaries have the cultural knowledge, language skills and trust within their communities to minister in a way that is difficult or even impossible for outsiders.
When you donate to missionaries, you’re providing financial support and empowering missionaries to serve their communities. National missionaries can go places where outsiders are often unwelcome. They can share the Good News of Christ more freely, make personal connections and offer practical help in ways that resonate with the local people.
GFA World trains each of these workers for two to three years, preparing them with the theological knowledge and practical skills necessary to minister effectively and establish churches. They live alongside the people they serve, sharing the same experiences, eating the same food and understanding the local culture in a way foreign missionaries cannot. This connection opens doors for the Good News of Christ to be shared in a personal and culturally relevant way.
Your gift will have a profound impact. For just $45 a month, you can help support one national missionary serving full-time in the field. This donation helps provide for living expenses so missionaries can reach people in some of Africa and Asia’s most remote and under-served areas.
Imagine what this kind of investment can do. It enables missionaries to live and minister in villages where hope is scarce. It opens opportunities to share the Good News of Christ through initiatives like clean water programs, medical care and community development. People aren’t just hearing about Jesus; they are seeing His love in action.
When you give to a missionary, you partner with an organization God is using to change many lives. GFA missionaries have started thousands of fellowships. New believers receive training and discipleship to continue spreading the Good News of Christ, which spreads across regions and transforms entire communities.
Supporting national missionaries through GFA World means allowing people living in these areas to share Christ with their neighbors. These workers understand the challenges, struggles and hopes of their people, and they can reach them in places that are closed or hostile to foreign missionaries. Your donation provides financial support and empowers local believers to make a lasting impact.
The message of Jesus is the most powerful message the world can hear. However, it is still a foreign concept in some areas of Africa and Asia. By choosing to donate to Christian missionaries, you are helping send a message of hope to people who may have never experienced it. Through your generosity, you allow them to hear about Jesus, experience His love and begin a new life in Him.
Being part of this mission is compelling because your donation doesn’t just support a worker; it can help change an entire community. When people hear about Jesus for the first time, their lives can be transformed. This is what it means to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
The need is great, and the time to act is now. By supporting GFA World missionaries, you can help change the fate of those who have never heard about Jesus. Your support provides funding for missionaries, enabling them to continue their vital work. For as little as $45 a month, you can help one missionary serve full-time, reaching out to people desperately in need of the hope only Jesus can provide.
Don’t let another day pass without making a difference. When you donate to Christian missionaries, you are choosing to change the future of people who may never have another chance to hear about Christ. You are partnering with GFA World, an organization with over forty years of experience in training and supporting national missionaries. Together let’s bring hope, healing and the love of Jesus to those who’ve not yet been reached.
