Message
We invite you to partner with us in building a church for the Christian believers in India.
What's the big deal about building a church in India? Here are some of the facts.
* Persecuted believers are protected and gain respect when a church building is established. - Asian culture says 'It is shameful for Christian believers not to think enough of their God to give Him a decent place.' And a recognized place of worship is eligible for government protection.
* A church building results in more believers and church growth. - National pastors continually find that a permanent building decreases persecution and increases curiosity and soon results in more believers.
* Indian believers are willing to work and even donate their land, but lack the resources to buy the materials to build a church.
"Nothing can stop the worship of the saints, but when someone donates a church building, they are also enabling youth meetings, Sunday school, women's Bible studies, community events, literacy training, counseling, prayer for the sick, discipleship and evangelism to reach neighboring villages." GFA Brochure
Won't you prayerfully consider joining us in building a church for believers in India?
"One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4

About Church Buildings
Provide a place of worship and permanence
Fellowships of believers are growing across the world, yet many lack a safe, consistent place to meet for worship. Your donation will help GFA construct a church building for one of these congregations who lack the resources to do it on their own.
The average cost to build a church in nations where we serve is $10,000 - $40,000 depending on the capacity and the location. This provides not only a place for worship and discipleship, but is a vital symbol to the community of security and permanence.
