'''Gospel for Asia (GFA)''' is a Christian NGO<ref>https://conservapedia.com/NGO</ref> organization founded by K.P. Yohannan<ref>https://conservapedia.com/K.P._Yohannan</ref> in 1979 that focuses on helping the poor in Asian countries and Rwanda through national workers. The organization is located in Wills Point, TX. GFA World’s stated primary objective is to support indigenous mission workers to “transforming communities through God's love”<ref>http://www.gfa.org/about/who-we-are/</ref> as they serve the 'least of these' around the world."<ref>http://www.gfa.org/about/who-we-are/</ref>

Unlike many other missions organizations, GFA purportedly sends 100 percent of the money donated for work on the mission field to the field; nothing is taken out for administrative expenses.<ref>http://www.gfa.org/about</ref>

GFA World is presently working throughout South and Southeast Asia including Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.<ref>https://www.gfa.org/regions/</ref> GFA World also works in Rwanda.<ref>https://www.gfa.org/africa/</ref>  
    
However, GFA was involved in a lawsuit by former donors which claims that GFA has not fulfilled its pledge to send 100% of donations to the causes designated.  The Federal District Court judge certified two classes and appointed a Special Master to review accounting records (and sanctioned GFA for conduct by ordering it to pay for the Special Master).<ref>https://www.wthrockmorton.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Class-Cert-1.pdf</ref>  The parties later settled the suit for a payment of $37 million to donors and class counsel.<ref>https://www.wthrockmorton.com/2019/03/01/gospel-for-asia-settles-rico-lawsuits-agrees-to-37-million-settlement/</ref>
