For the family of a Bridge of Hope child, a rooster and hen are not pets. They are the source of up to 40 dozen eggs a year! When the pair produces chicks, a brood develops that will provide nourishment and income for years. A pair of chickens can be given for just $12.50!

My Donation:    Cows seem to be everywhere in India but many poor families don't have one. Cows provide a lot of good milk to drink ... and to make yogurt, cheese and butter! They also produce calves that can be sold for income or used to produce even more dairy products for additional income. A dairy cow is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. $440 provides a cow for a needy Dalit family.

My Donation:    For millions of families in Asia, fishing at sea is their primary source of livelihood. As a result of the Asian tsunami, thousands lost their boats and nets-and with them their means of supporting their families. Your gift of a boat for $2,500 will equip a family to provide for its daily needs-and demonstrate that Jesus loves them.

My Donation:    When a Dalit family receives your present of a goator a pair of goatsit will be a special day! Goats are hardy and can live in almost any climate. And a pair of goats produces at least two kids each year. Their manure is also good fertilizer. Your gift of goats will be a good way to bring a little joy to a poor family's world. One goat, $70. Pair of goats, $140.

My Donation:    Lambs are an eternal symbol of God's love for us in the gift of His Son. What better way to share His love with a poor family than through a lamb that can grow to provide wool for income and milk to drink. A pair of sheep can produce lambs that can be sold at market, and they are also a source of meat. You can share these living symbols of God's love for only $60 each, $120 for a pair.

My Donation:    A pig may not sound like a typical gift, but if you were a poor South Asian family, it would be brilliant! A pair of pigs provides a litter of piglets every year, and pork can soon follow. Income from the sale of the piglets also aids the family, and offspring given back to the church will help other families get a "leg up" economically and socially. You can give a pair of pigs for only $65

My Donation:    You can give a pair of rabbits and help ensure a nutritious diet for growing families as they produce up to 40 bunnies a year! After a pair is given back to the church for distribution, additional offspring can also provide income for the family as well as nourishing meals. All this for only $12.50 per pair.

My Donation:    A gift of a water buffalo to a poor South Asian family is good news indeed! Transportation, plough animal, cart hauler, milk giver and more-all in one sturdy creature that is often considered a "member of the family."
$540.00 provides a water buffalo for a needy Dalit family.

My Donation:    Many poor regions of Asia have no source of pure drinking water. Using concrete and sand, these bio water filters remove impurities, providing water for drinking and cooking that is 98 percent pure. For $32, help provide pure water in an Asian village—and a chance for them to hear of the living water Jesus offers.

My Donation:    On those blustery winter nights during the winter season, who doesn’t like to curl up under a warm, soft blanket? That’s not possible for many impoverished families in Asia. Many live in homes that lack sufficient heat and protection against the harsh winter elements. Your gift of $6.50 for a blanket will provide much-needed warmth and comfort.

My Donation:    Men and women in Asia can hear hundreds of programs over GFA Radio. People who are exposed to the Gospel through radio tend to be more receptive to native missionaries when they visit, and thousands have given their lives to the Lord through these broadcasts. You can help a family listen to these life-giving broadcasts by providing a battery powered radio for $45.

My Donation:    You can give a gift of a sewing machine for $100 that will put clothes on the backs of a mother's children, and food on her table as well.

My Donation:    For the poor of Asia, sewing is not just a hobby; it is an opportunity to earn a livelihood for their family. In places where electricity is available, a motorized sewing machine allows the work to be completed much faster. You can give a gift of a motorized sewing machine for $140 that not only clothes the family, but will put food on their table as well.

My Donation:    Tending a garden may not be the first thing on your mind, but in India, planting season is an important time for a poor, rural family. For $95 you can provide a set of tools for a family to grow their own nutritious crops and maintain their home through the year. A tool kit includes an axe, shovel, saw, plough, sickle and crowbar.

My Donation:    In areas where there is no electricity—such as low-caste or Dalit villages—good lighting at night is unobtainable for many. An LED solar light system, running on solar power with a seven-year battery, would be a special blessing for people in such places. For $125.00, you can provide an LED solar light system, a gift that will not only light up a home but also can point people to Jesus, the Light of the World.

My Donation:    In South Asia, the ability to make a decent living often involves vocational training that is beyond the reach of the poor. As a further witness to the Gospel, GFA is teaming up with local churches to offer training in such practical fields as welding, sewing or other basic trades. You can give a gift scholarship for a training course for $38 and help someone climb out of poverty for good.

My Donation:    A new house for Christmas? This is the dream of people in Asia who have lost everything in a natural disaster, or who have lived their entire lives in a shanty. For $5700 a simple, sturdy house can be provided for a family. This house will show parents and children that there are people called Christians who loved them enough to provide shelter for them . . . and that Jesus loves them as well.

My Donation:    The opportunity for a Dalit child to receive an education and the love of Jesus is the best Christmas gift imaginable. Your Child Hope Packet will make it possible for an "Untouchable" child to go to school. Your gift helps provide school uniforms, books, tutoring and help with homework, at least one nutritious meal each day and a yearly medical checkup. Children in the program will also hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many times, entire families are changed through just one child.
A $60 Hope Packet can change one child's life for all eternity.
