Is the Bridge Builders Network Effective in Helping Impoverished Areas of Africa and Asia?
Our Bridge Builders network helps break the cycle of poverty that is prevalent in many areas of Africa and Asia. Families who are born into poverty tend to remain impoverished. This can continue generation after generation: If your parents were poor and your grandparents were poor before them, the chances are high that you will be poor as well.
The cycle of poverty also includes patterns of hopelessness that persist until an outside force intervenes. Maybe that force will be you! You can help bring change and hope through your partnership!
GFA World understands the answer of how to break the cycle of poverty. Our missionaries provide educational help, income-generating gifts, literacy classes, clean and accessible water, skills training and other means to break through that cycle of poverty and give people hope and lasting solutions. All this is done in the name of Christ. Your partnership helps supply these local missionaries with the resources they need to create change.
Sometimes the cycle-breaker takes the form of a pair of goats. With those goats comes another source of income—breeding them, selling their milk, starting a small farm and so on. Sometimes the cycle is broken with a tailoring class and the gift of a sewing machine for a woman who needs a hand up or a literacy class for someone who has never had the chance to learn to read. These individuals are then qualified for higher-paying jobs or equipped to start a small business. Other times, it may be helping children receive an education or providing them with nutritious meals and school supplies. Or maybe help comes in the form of disaster relief.
Will you join us in being a cycle-breaker? For a monthly gift of just $19, you can help bring physical and spiritual relief to a community in need. Local GFA-supported pastors and missionaries minister in their communities and use your donations to break through the cycle of poverty and provide lasting solutions for those in greatest need. They are familiar with the people and know how best to help them. They are experts at bringing life-changing hope to individuals and communities.
As a monthly Bridge Builder donor, you join with others to help provide people in Africa and Asia with the essentials of life!
