Financial Integrity & Gospel for Asia
Our Commitment to You
GFA is firmly committed to good stewardship of the funds entrusted to us by our friends and donors. For over 40 years, we, as a ministry, have been committed to honoring Christ in how we share His message of grace and mercy and how we steward the finances entrusted to us.
For over 40 years
we have been committed to honoring Christ in how we steward the finances entrusted to us.
GFA is committed to honoring the Lord and your generosity by investing the maximum amount possible into programs that benefit people in spiritual and physical need throughout the world in Christ’s name. Currently, an assessed portion of each donation is used to help cover administrative expenses.
GFA retains discretion to use donated funds in any manner that serves the charity’s objectives, regardless of any particular preference, but we do so knowing your donation is a sacred trust that requires careful stewardship.
Because of our commitment to financial integrity, we have an ongoing process of internal review. We actively work to update our internal systems and procedures to meet best practices for Christian charities.
Some of our best practices include the following:
- We, and the members of our staff, subscribe to a written statement of faith upholding the historic biblical Christian doctrine. Faith in Christ, according to the Bible, is the objective of our financial policies and practices.
- We subject ourselves to annual and independent financial audits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. GFA contracts with an auditing firm that is well equipped to assist the ministry in navigating the increasingly complex demands presented by the varying international environments within which we operate.
- Our guiding Scripture for all our fundraising efforts is 2 Corinthians 8:5, "They gave themselves first to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God" (NKJV). We believe that people should respond to us according to God’s leading in their life; therefore, we reject pressuring and manipulating people to give to the Lord's work.
- Donations to the ministry are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. We issue receipts for all gifts unless otherwise instructed.
- We will provide a copy of our current audited financial statement upon written request.
- We respect the privacy of our ministry partners, and therefore, do not sell or rent their information to any third-party entities. We go to great lengths to keep secure the names and addresses of all our friends.
- We have an agreement with our field partners that allows GFA to efficiently deploy resources and communicate clearly regarding the use of all resources.
We strive to ensure that all our work is accomplished according to standards that are above reproach.
GFA is committed to honoring the Lord and your generosity by investing the maximum amount possible into programs that benefit people in spiritual and physical need throughout the world in Christ’s name.
