Meet our Mission Support Team, the vital link between you and the mission field!
	Dear Friend, We're excited to present you with a new initiative: the Mission Support Team!

And how shall they preach unless they are sent?" — Romans 10:14–15 Not Spirituality–Humble Obedience Ralph and Sandy felt called to use their skills for God, but they had no idea how to begin. After applying for ministries all over the country and asking God to send them wherever He wanted, Gospel for Asia's response was the only one they received. Read their complete testimony.

This pastor & his wife rescue women working in the red-light district

Christ had shown love and compassion to prostitutes, and Pastor Dhinanath wanted these women to experience His grace, too.
	Dear Friend Pastor Dhinanath saw a car door open and a young woman tumble out. Unconscious. He later found out the woman had been kidnapped, gang raped and discarded near the red-light district in the area. Dhinanath and his wife, Lydia, began to pray every day for the precious women trapped in the sex trade. And after two long years of prayer, a door opened for them to bring the love of Christ to the red-light district.

Nalah's Story: Breaking Generations of Poverty

This father worked long hours trying to scrape up enough money to live on.
	Nalah grew up watching his father work hard in the tea fields. He saw the desperate poverty all the tea workers endured. Despite his challenging childhood, Nalah grew up and became the father of four children. They needed to get an education—but Nalah was too poor to even meet their basic needs. He sank into depression. But just as life was spiraling downward, Nalah met a servant of God who listened to his sad story, and everything began to change. Read his story But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth. — Psalm 37:9b Field Report: Abandoned Woman Receives a Gift Saci was still carrying their first son in her womb when her husband left her—again. It was the second time he abandoned her, and now Saci had to raise their daughter and new baby boy as a single parent. In their culture, she was considered a widow. She was forced to live with her parents and had to provide for the entire household—on her own. Saci worked as a house maid in several homes, but all her domestic labor didn't earn her much. But on International Widows Day, GFA-supported Women's Fellowship ladies gave Saci a gift that changed her life. Read Saci's story. 6-year-old Kalea's myGFA Campaign for Clean Water "Kids get sick, hurt, die, and miss school because clean drinking water is not easy for them to get," Kalea says.
