Kata's story: A widows' dreams of opening a business

How tin sheets helped a widow provide for herself and her daughter.
	Dear friend, Widowed at a young age, Kata was left with the responsibility of providing for herself and her daughter. To do this, she took special training classes in hopes she could one day open her own beauty salon. At the end of her training, Kata felt confident to start her own business, but one obstacle stood in her way: She had no building in which to work. About that time, Kata met GFA-supported pastor Niket. Through this pastor's help, God began to provide for Kata.

Kevin and Diane's Story: Remaining Steadfast in God's Passion

LIVE NOW: School of Discipleship Graduation
	Dear friend, It was around the time of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers, in 2001, that Kevin began praying about re-joining the military, thinking that would solve the restless feeling he had. But then he and his wife, Diane, saw an ad in Gospel for Asia's magazine about the need for staff. Compelled with a heart for the world, Kevin realized the Lord was directing them to help others in a different way than he originally thought. Kevin and Diane have been serving with their family as behind-the-scenes missionaries with Gospel for Asia for 15 years, making it a priority to live each moment with their eyes fixed on God. Read their powerful testimony "I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?' Then I said, 'Here am I! Send me.'" — Isaiah 6:8 LIVE NOW: School of Discipleship Graduation July 31 — the day we send off our School of Discipleship students!

Meet Jonathan, Erica & their four daughters - missionaries with GFA

Read the inspiring testimony of this behind-the-scenes missionary family at Gospel for Asia.
	Dear friend, "It wasn't that we chose GFA because we thought it was the most prestigious, or because we thought it would be the best place for our family, or the easiest place, or the most fun, or the most spiritual, or any of those things. We're here, and we remain here, because this is the one God chose." Meet Jonathan, Erica and their four daughters, who are behind-the-scenes missionaries with Gospel for Asia—and see what motivates their service. Read their testimony "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations ..." — Matthew 28:19 Five Minutes with K.P.: The Gift of Being Alone with God What is this authentic Christian spirituality? We may think it to be the good spiritual activities we do, such as Bible study, prayer, church attendance, evangelism, serving the poor and loving others. However, they are not the same as spirituality. They are mere activities unless they flow out of a heart that truly knows God. GFA founder, K.P. Yohannan, shares his thoughts about being alone with God, the key to authentic spirituality. Read now. Ashley's Story: 'So Happy I Answered the Call' "I only planned to be at Gospel for Asia for my [School of Discipleship] year, but the Lord had other plans. After graduation, He led me to join staff.
