BioSand Water Filter

Suggested donation: $40

Many people in in the areas we serve do not have clean water, and as a result, they battle waterborne illnesses—or even succumb to death. Made with simple materials, BioSand water filters remove 98% of biological impurities, providing safe water for drinking and cooking for the family and neighbours, too! The clean water will improve health and hygiene and will give peace of mind—all of which are expressions of Christ’s care.

Goats

Suggested donation: $190 per pair

When a Dalit family receives your present of a goat or a pair of goats it will be a special day! Goats are hardy and can live in almost any climate. And a pair of goats produces at least two kids each year. Their manure is also good fertilizer. Your gift of goats will be a good way to bring a little joy to a poor family's world.

Hope for Suffering Women

Suggested donation: $50

Help bring immediate aid to women in need by giving towards the Hope for Suffering Women fund. This helps provides a struggling woman with simple things like a month's rent, food for her family or even basic medical care when it's hard to come by.

Jesus Wells

Suggested donation: $40 to $1,900

Jesus Wells provide fresh water year-round, protecting communities from waterborne illnesses and sparing women and children from spending hours fetching water. Obtaining clean water is also vital for practicing safe hygiene and for supporting healthy immune systems, both of which prevent the spread of diseases like COVID-19.

Pastors serving near Jesus Wells are able to share about the Living Water mentioned on the well’s plaque. Providing safe water—either by drilling a new well or maintaining existing wells—is a practical way to show communities how much God and His children care for all people!

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.

Sewing Machine

Suggested donation: $136

"Sewing" Seeds for Eternity with the Gift of a Sewing Machine

Many families work as labourers; sometimes having to sell their children just to earn enough money to support their family. A sewing machine provides a chance for a needy family to start their own tailoring business. Once they receive a sewing machine, they also have access to classes that allow them to start putting their new machines to good use.

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.

Sponsor a Woman Missionary for One Year

Suggested donation: $360

Partner with a woman missionary and help share the love of Christ with other women in Asia. They minister in many ways, including sharing their testimonies, sharing with them the love of God and praying for them, ministering to widows, conducting Women's Fellowships and providing literacy training.

Water Buffalo

Suggested donation: $460

A gift of a water buffalo to a poor South Asian family is good news indeed! Transportation, plough animal, cart hauler, milk giver and more-all in one sturdy creature that is often considered a "member of the family."

Widows and Abandoned Children

Suggested donation: $75

In many areas we serve, widows are an invisible part of society. They are commonly ignored, rejected and believed to be the cause of their husbands’ deaths, even cursed in some regions. Their own upbringing often leads them to believe those same things about themselves. Even women who have been abandoned by their husbands face the same sudden crisis as that of widows.

Also, millions of children must fend for themselves either as orphans, runaways or sons and daughters abandoned by their parents. Alone and unprotected, widows and abandoned children face immense practical and emotional hardships. But the Body of Christ can offer support and hope. When you give toward Widows and Abandoned Children, you can help provide things like food, shelter, income-generating gifts, dignity and God’s compassion to women and children in need.

Women's Literacy

Suggested donation: $25

When women learn to read, they can avoid harmful labour contracts, understand warning labels and avoid being cheated at the marketplace. GFA World supports literacy classes that teach adult women how to read and write. After they graduate from these literacy classes, they’re also able to read God’s Word and can grow in their relationship with Him. Your gift towards things like literacy can help enable women to protect themselves and keep their families healthy while also equipping them to draw closer to God.
