National Missionary Sponsorship

National missionary sponsorship equips our workers to be the hands and feet of God.

Did you know that 3 out of 8 people have never heard of Jesus and have no access to churches or Jesus’ life-changing message of hope?

Imagine going through life never hearing about or knowing the hope or joy God’s love. It only takes as little as £25 per month to have a huge impact in providing for a national missionary so they can minister to families in need and show the kindness of God to those who need to experience it. We can make a choice today that will forever change someone’s life!

What is a National Missionary?

Our GFA-supported National Missionaries have dedicated their lives doing just that. They minister in many places, living sacrificially and lovingly responding to the needs around them. As people who know and love their communities, these men and women have an incredible insight into the needs and challenges of the people they serve.

When people are overwhelmed by disease caused by a lack of clean water and proper sanitation, our missionaries seek to provide practical solutions in real time – by setting up Jesus Wells and toilets! They’re moved with compassion for widows and leprosy patients whom others have despised and they care for their needs.

These courageous labourers are on the front lines. God is using them mightily, helping to transform entire communities, but the work is far from finished. Billions of people still have never heard of Christ’s love. Join us on the journey to provide support for our missionaries on the field as they continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus!

Changing lives eternally

With national missionary sponsorship, we have the opportunity to change lives not only here and now, but eternally in Asia and Africa. Did you know that around 80,000 people die every day in the 10/40 Window? Some of their lives may end without ever hearing about the love of God. We can make a choice today that will forever change the fate of those who have yet to hear.

What does a National Missionary do?

National Missionaries are passionate people who work full-time within communities in need and within areas of their own cultures or very similar ones! They already know or can easily learn the local dialect and customs of the Asian and African villages where they share Christ’s love. They don’t need to spend years learning the real-life struggles of these communities, because they already know they know the needs and hearts of the people they serve!

Through support from you, our partners (who are sometimes referred to as donors), GFA World trains up missionaries, both men and women, single and married – each one plays a huge role in reaching Asia and Africa with the love of Jesus Christ!

I had no hope of healing and was completely helpless. I thank Jesus for delivering me, and also thank these three sisters (National Missionaries) who spent their time in prayer for my deliverance.

How are Missionaries Reaching Communities?

Our national missionaries are ministering much like the Christians in the early Church did – they’re boldly sharing Christ’s love, lovingly caring for the sick + needy and graciously leading local fellowships. Depending on the location or situation, their ministry could include many forms of outreach:

Child Sponsorship Programme– Rescuing Asia and Africa’s poorest children through education, love and the hope of Jesus.
Bibles and Literature Ministry– Printing and distributing Bibles and Gospel tracts in many languages.
Film Ministry – Showing Asian and African-made film about Jesus to those who don’t know Him.
Radio Broadcasts– Speaking the love of Jesus in local languages.
Leprosy Ministry– Caring for shunned leprosy patients and their families.
Jesus Wells– Transforming villages, both physically and spiritually, by providing pure clean water.
Slum Ministry– Reaching out to the millions who live in Asia and Africa’s massive shantytowns.
Women’s Ministry– Building up Asian women in Christ through literacy, fellowship and discipleship.
Compassion Services– Ministering to the practical needs of people in Jesus’ name.
