WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA) – Discussing the definitions that encompass missions & ministry, the sacrifice and service, from those who are behind-the-scenes to the national missionaries who are in the field.
Let me ask you a quick question. When you hear the word “ministry,” what words come to mind? I posed this question to several GFA staff members and wrote their answers down.
“God” and “Jesus” were, obviously, chiefly among the answers, followed by “sacrifice” and “service.”
But why “sacrifice”? Why “service”?
Ministry; Defined
Do those words come to your mind when you hear the word, “ministry”? Or do other images come to mind? Do your thoughts wander to lands far off, of sprawling jungles or shifting sands? Do you think of the stories and testimonies of missionaries long gone?
Ministry can happen anywhere, whether it takes place through a local outreach program run by a church or through an international missions organization. According to Merriam-Webster, to “minister” is “to function as a minister of religion, or to give aid or service.” GFA as a missions organization fits both categories. Through the generous donations of our supporters, we are providing national workers in Asia with the tools and resources they need to minister to the hurting and needy.
