Compassion Services

Outdoor Toilet

Suggested donation: $73 to $735

More than a billion people worldwide have no choice but to relieve themselves out in the open, which poses many risks, especially for women and girls who venture into open fields under the cover of darkness. Private outdoor toilets spare families from disease found at communal waste grounds and protect the dignity of men and women.

Blanket

Suggested donation: $34

Most families in the impoverished areas in which GFA serves have little or no insulation or indoor heating. Those who sleep on the streets are even more exposed to the cold. Blankets provide comfort and protection and serve as tangible expressions of Christ’s love.

Slum Ministry

Tens of millions of people around the world live in the squalor of slums—in one-room shanties, usually without electricity, running water or toilets. But through slum ministry, people in slums have the chance for a better life. GFA missionaries serving in slums teach adult literacy classes and tutor children. They disseminate information about health and hygiene. They distribute income-generating gifts, along with practical gifts, like water filters, toilets and clothing. They also share with slum dwellers about the greatest gift anyone could gain: the love of God.

Medical Ministry

Suggested donation: $375

Your gift towards medical ministry can help provide free medical care and health education for people who are suffering and dying from treatable ailments. GFA missionaries host medical camps in impoverished villages and invite teams of nurses, doctors and other health care professionals to provide free medical care. One medical camp may serve 200 to 1,000 people. Helping provide medical care for a family of five costs as little as $5.

Through medical ministry, families that lack access to medication or have never been taught basic hygiene can receive life-saving treatment and health education, all in the name of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ.
