Mekong Multiply, Inc. — Organization Profile Mekong Multiply, Inc. is a Christian 501(c)(3) organization in Louisville, Kentucky, focused on multiplying disciples and churches in Southeast Asia.

Mekong Multiply, Inc. — Organization Profile
Mekong Multiply, Inc. is a Christian 501(c)(3) organization in Louisville, Kentucky, focused on multiplying disciples and churches in Southeast Asia. The organization exists to glorify Jesus by multiplying disciples and churches among unreached people groups in Southeast Asia and beyond. Its public theme is “Multiplying Disciples & Churches in Southeast Asia.”
The organization’s core focus is mobilizing national Christians as missionaries to unreached peoples in their own countries through reproducible disciple-making and church-planting approaches. Mekong Multiply’s stated passion is to see peoples who have never heard about Jesus receive the opportunity to become his passionate followers. Its ministry is shaped by a concern for unreached tribes and communities where people may have little or no access to the gospel.
Mekong Multiply serves Southeast Asia, with a regional focus on the eleven nations south of China and east of India. The organization identifies more than 700 unreached tribes in that region, with a combined population exceeding 330 million. Its public ministry areas include Laos, Myanmar, and Sumatra, Indonesia, along with the broader Southeast Asian region where Buddhism, Animism, Islam, and communist government contexts shape the mission field.
The ministry operates by recruiting, training, mobilizing, and coaching national missionaries. Mekong Multiply seeks to develop national missionary sending bases in Southeast Asian countries with significant numbers of unreached people groups. Its strategy emphasizes national missionaries who cross cultures within their own countries, engage unreached people groups, make disciples who reproduce, and help plant indigenous churches that can continue without dependence on outside workers.
A distinctive part of Mekong Multiply’s approach is supporting national missionary movements that plant reproducible churches among unreached people groups from within their own regional context. In Myanmar, the ministry works with experienced partners to recruit, train, and send national missionaries, including tentmaking preparation for self-sufficiency. In Laos, Launch Laos and The Final 58 focus on sending and sustaining national missionaries to reach remaining unengaged unreached people groups. In Sumatra, Shine Sumatra seeks to mobilize Indonesian national missionaries to reach unreached groups on the island.
People can engage with Mekong Multiply by giving, joining the newsletter, contacting the organization, exploring future mission opportunities, participating in prayer journeys, or taking the Get On Mission course. Get On Mission is a seven-session equipping course developed to help small groups, churches, and other participants engage the lost and unreached with the love and good news of Jesus. The ministry also invites people to consider full-time missionary service, short-term trips, and partnership in prayer and support.

GFA World — Organization Profile
GFA World, formerly known as Gospel for Asia, is a Christian nonprofit mission organization based in Wills Point, Texas. Founded by K.P. Yohannan in 1979, the ministry focuses on serving people and communities through national missionary work, child sponsorship, clean water initiatives, medical ministry, poverty alleviation, disaster relief, and other compassion-centered programs.
The organization’s core focus is transforming communities through Christ-centered compassion and national missionary partnerships. GFA World describes its work as serving people who have not yet experienced Christ’s love, especially in places where access to Christian witness and practical care is limited. Its ministries combine proclamation of the gospel with tangible support for people facing poverty, illness, isolation, or crisis.
GFA World serves in Africa and Asia, with its official materials emphasizing communities in least-reached and underserved regions. The organization identifies its work with national missionaries who already know or can learn local languages, live among the people they serve, and minister within their own cultural contexts. Its public materials also describe international offices and supporters in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Finland, and South Korea.
The organization operates through several ministry areas. GFA World supports national missionaries, helps children at risk through education and basic care, provides clean water through wells and BioSand filters, offers medical ministry through free care and health services, supports marginalized women and widows, and responds to poverty and disasters with practical aid. Its gift catalog and sponsorship programs allow donors to direct support toward needs such as income-generating gifts, child sponsorship, missionary support, clean water, and relief efforts.
A distinctive part of GFA World’s model is working through local believers and church-centered ministries rather than relying primarily on foreign workers. The organization describes national missionaries as people who are able to serve within their own nations and communities, often in places where outside missionaries may face barriers. This same local-partnership approach is reflected in its emphasis on community development, education, health initiatives, practical gifts, and long-term spiritual formation.
People can engage with GFA World by sponsoring a child, sponsoring a national missionary, giving to clean water or compassion projects, joining the prayer team, requesting resources, inviting a speaker, attending ministry experiences, applying for staff or apprenticeship opportunities, or donating through the organization’s website. Supporters can also follow GFA World updates to learn about field stories, prayer needs, and ongoing projects among communities in Africa and Asia.
