“But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?” 1 John3:17
Doubtless, you have seen the new add flashing on my site, for GFA (Gospel for Asia). If you can’t see it, disable your firewall momentarily, then reload this page. There is a reason I want you to see the add. It is an offer for a free book written by K. P. Yohannan, called Revolution in World Missions.
Having read this book recently, I can say that K. P. Yohannan knows what he is talking about when it comes to missions. Normally, I’m not into advertising for people, but the book is FREE, they aren’t making money on it. They are giving it away hoping you will read it, and be inspired to help them in their mission. Actually, God will do the inspiring. All you have to do is respond.
Gospel for Asia has a website also, so click on the link, and check it out, if you are willing. After all, if they want you to help them share the gospel, why not see whether they are trustworthy? I think the book will help prove that, but some need more convincing than others.
I will be writing to K. P. Yohannan shortly, offering my weblog as another voice to help spread the news that aid is needed for native missionaries in Asia.
How does it all work? Gospel for Asia is not a Western Missionary group. The people who share the gospel are native people, from within their culture, or very near to it. They do not spend money building hospitals, or clinics. They do not have food pantries. This is not a social program. It’s evangelism, and evangelism is far more important than a hungry belly.
That is not to say that if we have the capability to also help feed them, that we should ignore the poor people of this world. The devil would say if they are going to die, at least let them go to hell on a full stomach. I say, if they are going to die someday, then give them the food that will sustain them unto heaven. That food is the gospel, and GFA focuses on spreading the gospel in places where it has never been heard, teaching disciples, and planting churches.
There is so much more information on their website, and I hope you’ll visit it. I cannot do justice to all they do. Give them a look, and if possible, open your hearts to the lost that before now, have never had a chance to hear the gospel. You don’t have to go anywhere, they go for you. You don’t have to say anything. They say it for you. All they ask is for financial support, and prayer. This is NOT JUST ANOTHER MISSIONARY. This is the gospel as it was spread in Acts. Don’t believe me? Check out their website, and see for yourself. Thank you very much. May God inspire you as He sees fit.
