Gospel for Asia (now GFA World) is an independent Christian missionary and humanitarian organization, founded by K. P. Yohannan in 1979, focusing on residents of Asian countries and small parts of Africa.

[2][3] GFA World is present in India, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Laos Thailand,[4] and Rwanda.

[5] In 1981, then president K.P Yohannan formed a branch of GFA World (known for over 40 years as Gospel for Asia) in his native Kerala, with an Indian headquarters being set up in Tiruvalla in 1983.

[8] The organization has defined its primary mission field as being those people that live in the 10/40 Window, a rectangular region extending from West Africa to East Asia.

This approach might result in several specialized missionary groups within a single nation-state, from large cities and regions down to small tribes and villages.

GFA World has 56 bible colleges in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka with the purpose of training native missionaries with usage of their own dialects and cultures so that leaders could promote gospels.

[22] GFA World workers care for the patients through social and relief work, medical aid, and health and hygiene awareness programs.

[28][29][30] GFA World's Child Sponsorship after-school program assists underprivileged villages through ongoing literacy and education for their boys and girls.

This education helps children and their families to overcome generational poverty and avoid the worlds of bonded labor and sex-slave trade.

Students at the centers receive daily education and a nutritious meal, school supplies and uniforms as well as free medical care.

[32] GFA World is using these centers as a way to alleviate the root causes of impoverishment and gender discrimination in Asian countries as well as inhumane child labor practices.

But GFA World's filed partner volunteers delivered medical supplies, clothes, food and fresh water to flooding victims throughout the area.

[35] One of GFA World's supported social workers lost five family members in the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka in April 2019.

[37] GFA World partnered with Believers Eastern Church in Asia and local officials to distribute food kits for families suffering from the medical and economic loses due to COVID-19.

[53] The motion to certify a class-action lawsuit vs GFA in Canada was dismissed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto in March, 2022.

[54] In 2017 Gospel for Asia was accused by Arkansas couple Garland and Phyllis Murphy of raising funds for charity "while covertly diverting the money to a multimillion-dollar personal empire.
