Medical Needs Taken Care of Through Prayer, Goats Received From Gospel for Asia Distribution

Image
WILLS POINT, TX — GFA World (Gospel for Asia) founded by K.P. Yohannan , has been the model for numerous charities like GFA World Canada , to help the poor and deprived worldwide — Discussing Nadajay, a 45 year old widow, her family’s struggle with poverty and sickness, and the Gospel for Asia distribution of a goat that took care of their medical needs.

Overcome by the emotional trauma of losing her son, Tilaka (not pictured) developed a mental illness that isolated her from her community.
