Jimmy Needham has partnered with mission organization Gospel For Asia, and will be their official ‘celebrity’ spokesperson! Jimmy has always had a heart for non-profit organizations such as this, and we’re very excited about this partnership! Haven’t heard of Gospel For Asia yet? Here’s a brief summary of what they are all about:

Our Mission: Gospel for Asia’s mission is to share the Good News of Jesus with those who have never heard his name.

Training of Laborers: Gospel for Asia has 67 Bible colleges throught South Asia where more than 9,000 men and women are studying God’s Word and undergoing intensive three-year training in preparation for ministry. Through the weekend and summer outreach, the students help many come to the saving knowledge of Christ. Most of the Bible college graduates will go on to minister in areas where the Gospel has never been proclaimed.

Native Missionaries: GFA has 16,500 native missionaries sharing the hope of Jesus in Asia. And they are seeing incredible fruit in the lives of people to whom they are proclaiming Christ! Although they often risk persecution as they carry forth the Gospel, these missionaries boldly carry on, counting it as a privilege to suffer for Christ.

Bridge of Hope: GFA’s Bridge of Hope outreach educates children, reaching out especially to low-caste and Dalit (”Untouchable”) communities. Through the Bridge of Hope, the “least of these” have a chance to improve their daily lives and - most of all - to hear that Jesus loves them. They receive an education; a warm, nutritious meal each school day; textbooks and school uniforms; and a yearly medical check-up. Entire communities have been transformed through these children.

Just before Christmas, we sent out a newsletter that included a link to Jimmy Needham’s Gospel For Asia Christmas Gift Campaign. If you weren’t able to support it at the time, you still have a chance… Click here to buy gifts that will help an “Untouchable” family break the cycle of poverty while serving as a tangible expression of Jesus’ love.
