Gospel for Asia "planting
churches among the most unreached"
In each aspect of Gospel for Asia’s ministry, the primary aim is to plant churches among the unreached
— those who have never heard the Gospel. Gospel for Asia trains and sends native missionaries because they have proven extremely effective.
They are already familiar with the language and culture, and they live at the level of the people they serve, thus removing many social
barriers. Gospel for Asia sends 100 percent of the money you donate for work on the mission field to the field. Nothing is taken
out for administrative expenses.
