Gospel for Asia

WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA) – Discussing the grave need for national missionaries, like the Good Samaritan in Jesus’ parable, who fills in the gap of health care to the poor and needy with the love of God. Marut’s heart raced as his feet tore down the dark road in front of him. It had been a weary day of labor, and now his lean body strained as he flew from the wild dogs closing the gap between them. These were not domesticated animals. These were scavenger dogs, grown cruel by struggle for survival. As the pack drew closer, Marut had to make a quick decision. He scanned the horizon before him looking for a way of escape. He saw an electric pole some distance ahead. He altered course, bolting directly toward the pole. As Marut reached it, he scampered up the metal pole just out of reach of the vicious pack of dogs. Marut with his wife and two children. From One Threat to Another Marut climbed further up the pole, creating a more comfortable distance between him and the gro...

WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA World and affiliates like Gospel for Asia Canada ) founded by Dr. K.P. Yohannan – Discussing Tilaka, a widow whose life was swallowed up into obscurity and isolation, and the Gospel for Asia workers that demonstrated and shared the unfailing love of Jesus. Shocked by the news of her 7-year-old son’s murder, Tilaka’s mind whirled into a grief-laden state of confusion. If only her son had stayed with her that day; if only someone had stepped in to rescue him. Overcome by the emotional trauma of losing her son, Tilaka (not pictured) developed a mental illness that isolated her from her community. Many women in Asia face similar rejection from society, if their husband dies. Little Arun had been kidnapped by treasure hunters and given as a sacrifice to their gods in the hope of unearthing riches. Unbearable pain pierced Tilaka’s mothering heart when she discovered what had happened to her precious son. Grief stole her ability to think clearly, and s...

  WILLS POINT, TX – The   COVID pandemic   has taken center stage over the past year. COVID has stepped into the spotlight and upstaged all other diseases that had shared the stage prior to the meteoric rise of this new player in the role of the world’s most nefarious viral villain. Malaria! Malaria! Wherefore art thou? Appearances of malaria, HIV, and Ebola have been obscured by COVIDs presence both on the world stage and on the marquee. Yet, they continue to play active roles even in the shadows. During the  COVID  pandemic , malaria has continued to be  endemic  to 87 countries around the globe. In laymen’s terms, Pandemic  is when a disease has spread around the world. The disease threatens everyone everywhere. Endemic  is when a disease is prevalent in a particular part of the world. The disease threatens everyone in those places. Pandemic means the disease is everywhere. Endemic means the disease exists somewhere, hopefully not “here.” ...

  It has been about a month since the UN-sponsored 2021 World Water Day (March 22). Let’s review what you learned about the global water crisis. Our review consists of one question. Where is clean water needed the most? How would you answer? In the middle of the desert? In remote, rural regions? In the slums of major cities? In Africa? In areas plagued by drought? In refugee camps? Any one of those is a good answer, but … What is the right answer? An insufficient amount of clean water is, without question, a global concern . The water crisis, however, is much more a personal crisis than it is a global crisis. The  clean water crisis is global only to the extent that access to clean water  is limited in many places around the world. The real clean water crisis is personal. An estimated 1.2 billion people lack access to clean water . That problem is so massive that it is hard to wrap our minds around it in a way that has a dramatic impact on us individually. The irony is th...

STONEY CREEK, ON — Despite the difficulties of 2020, GFA World (Gospel for Asia Canada), together with Believers Eastern Church, collected Christmas gift-filled shoeboxes for children in need. 2020 was a difficult year. COVID-19 pandemic restrictions meant that many of the regular events of our lives had to be rearranged or maybe even cancelled altogether.

GFA World Collects Christmas Shoeboxes for Children:  Canadian-based mission agency  GFA World  along with Believers Eastern Church hosted an Operation Christmas Child Collection Centre at their building in Stoney Creek.
