Message
This campaign is funded by Massage Therapists and fellow supporters to share the hope and salvation of Jesus in Asia. Our goal is to not only raise enough funds to raise a church, but in boldness, to make believers and be an encourager for all people we encounter. We donate to the cause with tips, chair massage and other events, and support the mission by word of mouth and with the media.
What motivated this campaign? Compassion fueled by love for Jesus's saving grace. Jesus had compassion on all people and He set the ultimate example.
If you're a massage therapist, donate your tips and/or hold an event titled "Hands for Hope" and donate the proceeds to the campaign with Gospel For Asia. Raise the Church!
If you're not a massage therapist but would like to help, we couldn't do it without you! A big portion of the donations have been/will be given by client tips! Any amount is appreciated and takes part of the bigger picture =)
All my massage therapy tips during Jan-Jun/2013 have been donated to "Hands for Hope" (I say this not to boast but to be held accountable and to personally challenge you to help too)
Update 9/4/13
There have been some wonderful support and I thank every giver and thank God! Meeting the goal has been challenging but I will keep on trying! With God nothing is impossible.

Please pray for strength, clarity, and that passion for the ministry burns bright and steady for the Lord.

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.

We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.
