Why Is Funding for Missionaries Essential to Reaching the World’s Most Isolated Regions?
At GFA World, we believe funding for missionaries is crucial to providing inspiration and change to the world’s most remote and overlooked regions. Many of the communities most in need of Christ’s love and practical support reside in what is known as the 10/40 Window—a region stretching across North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. This area is home to over 3 billion people who are still waiting to be reached with the Good News.[1] Without adequate funding, the challenges of reaching these remote and resource-scarce areas can be insurmountable.
GFA missionaries working in isolated regions can face significant challenges in the communities they serve, including extreme poverty, lack of infrastructure and, in many cases, hostility toward their message.[2] Funding for GFA missionaries enables them to serve full-time amidst such difficult circumstances, to overcome these challenges and see people come to know Christ as Savior.
National missionaries, trained and sent out by GFA World, are particularly well-suited for this work. As individuals who already understand the culture, customs and way of life in the regions they serve, they are uniquely equipped to build relationships and foster trust within their communities. Your donations to GFA World help equip GFA missionaries with resources like educational materials, clean water projects and vocational training programs, which open doors to sharing Christ’s love in practical and meaningful ways.[3]
Funding for GFA missionaries extends beyond meeting physical and spiritual needs. It represents a partnership between those who send and those who serve. Your financial support is a tangible expression of Christ’s love, enabling GFA World missionaries to carry out their work with confidence and impact. By investing in their ministry, you become a vital part of reaching those who have never heard the message of Christ, breaking cycles of poverty and introducing the hope of Christ to the most isolated regions of the world.
