Gospel For Asia And Others: Proclaiming Christianity

Christian missionaries are as active as ever nowadays

. Gospel for Asia, as well as other similar organizations, is at the forefront of evangelism and church planting. Basically, they spread the Christian faith to new geographical areas and cultures, and establish new Christian churches.

Their work is focused on the 10/40 window, a belt-like area in the globe that extends from 10 degrees north to 40 degrees north, spanning West Africa and East Asia. These are the places with the highest number of non-Christian populations. They are composed mainly by Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists.

In the past, most missionaries came from the West, notably the US. Nowadays, there are many Christian mission organizations that are founded and operated by locals. India, for instance, has KP Yohannan, who founded Gospel for Asia.

Having few or no cultural barriers to overcome is a big advantage that national missionaries have over their western counterparts. Being able to speak in the local dialect or language makes it easier for them to reach their target groups. Many areas in the 10/40 window are restricted for or closed to foreign missionaries, while local missionaries may have better access to the local people.

Mission organizations are funded and operated with much help from other people. For instance, volunteers are always needed to assist in activities and events. They can help with the coordination and organization, such as logistics, catering, and managing the attendees.

People can apply for regular jobs within the ministry. These include positions that provide administrative, financial, technical and communications support. Inviting speakers from missionary organizations to one's church, distributing reading materials and generally supporting ministry activities is also helpful.

Donations and sponsorships are also a common way for people to show their support for missions. Donations can be in the form of cash or material things like Bibles, tools, equipment and food. For instance, missionaries talk about the Gospel in classroom setting, so they are often in need of teaching aids. Sponsors, on the other hand, send cash support monthly to be used to buy supplies or subsidize education for a selected missionary or child.

Thanks to technology, Christian missionary organizations can reach more people with their message. They utilize the Internet, radio, TV and print media to help people know more about them and how they can be a part of the effort to bring Christianity to non-Christians. Missionary leaders and founders like Gospel for Asia's KP Yohannan write books and do tours to different places to get people involved in what they are doing: to spread the Gospel and bring in as many people as possible to the Christian faith.
