Missionaries with Gospel for Asia (GFA) continue to help victims of floods throughout south India.
Although the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka were hit with the deluge several weeks ago, the need for basic necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing is still great. K.P. Yohannan, founder of GFA, says there have been many opportunities to witness in word and deed. "As our missionaries and workers minister to these people, meeting their physical needs, the joy also is this: they're able to talk with them about the Lord and pray for them and comfort them and counsel people," says the ministry leader. Yohannan says the missionaries and workers are focused. "This is our God-given opportunity to say 'God loves you, Jesus cares about you, and we represent Him,'" he shares. "And I do not know what more beautiful thing that we can do at this time to touch the lives of people with the good news that Jesus is Lord." GFA workers have ministered to tens of thousands of people in the hard-hit areas.
