Our national missionary's commutes over the years have probably look a little different than yours - with miles and miles in between villages, much time that could be spent in serving people and sharing the love of God is taken up with walking. Bicycling is five times more efficient than walking, enabling workers to cover much more ground in less time - leaving them with more time to minister and empowering them to travel to even farther villages.

Since 1986, God has used GFA-supported radio programmes to bring His message of love to people across Asia! Radio broadcasts can cross treacherous terrain to share with people who are hungering for a love greater than the world can offer. 🧡 Three billion people across the planet have never heard of Jesus! Donate now towards radio broadcasts and help us share His love! www.gfauk.org/giving/radio-broadcasts/

We love this photo from our early days serving Nepal! We believe in sustainably supporting those in need: by raising up national missionaries through long term missions, creating spaces for people to experience God within their own culture, and to help anyone in need with our education programmes, health initiatives, practical gifts, and through spiritual transformation that brings life-changing peace. www.gfauk.org/medical
