What Happens When I Adopt a Missionary?
By choosing to adopt a missionary through sponsorship with GFA World, you join hands with committed believers who spread hope and share the message of Jesus Christ in areas across Africa and Asia. Sponsoring a missionary is an excellent way to create lasting change in communities that need it the most.
GFA-supported missionaries reside in and engage with the communities they serve, spreading the love of Christ through methods that resonate with the local culture. By committing to a minimum monthly amount of $45, you can help sustain a local missionary’s need for food, shelter and ministry supplies.[1]
Your monthly contribution helps ensure that these individuals can carry out their work without the worry of limitations holding them back.[2] When you become a sponsor, you will receive a photo and testimony of the missionary you are supporting. This genuine connection allows you to pray for them by name and cultivate a relationship through shared beliefs and goals.
Sponsors are encouraged to pray for GFA-supported missionaries. These prayers are important as missionaries encounter obstacles such as opposition, loneliness, lengthy travel distances and scarce resources. Your prayers help to sustain them as they work in regions where the message of Jesus is unfamiliar to many.
GFA World offers regional updates that provide an expansive view of the ongoing work in the missionary’s community. Your contributions make a difference in people’s lives and bring about positive changes in communities. You’ll read about villages gaining access to drinking water, schools educating children and families encountering the message of Christ for the very first time.
Supporting a missionary has a profound impact that extends beyond the influence of just one person. Your assistance allows communities to hear the Good News and see examples of Christ’s compassion in action. Whether it’s providing meals or forging connections, these missionaries are making a difference in people’s lives, one person at a time.
Becoming a sponsor for a missionary is a powerful way to reach those who have not yet heard of Jesus’ love. By supporting a missionary and offering sincere prayers each month, you are partnering with people at the forefront of missionary efforts, providing hope and lasting change.
Make a difference today and sponsor a local missionary through GFA World! Together, we can positively impact lives and bring about changed hearts and communities through the message of Christ’s love.
