Buy a Bicycle for a Native, National or Indigenous Missionary in Asia or Africa
Gospel for Asia and other ministries have a program where you can buy a bicycle for a native, national or indigenous missionary in Asia. These bicycles will allow the missionary to visit more villages than by going on foot.
It also makes it easier for the missionary to carry tracts, Bibles, New Testaments and equipment to help share the gospel. Many children, instead of buying a bicycle for themselves, have helped save money for missionaries to have a bicycle. It is a good church project. More information is at this web site. http://gfa.org/bicycles
Other missionary organizations also raise support for missionaries to have bicycles. Below are some other organizations.

A Bicycle for a Missionary
Native missionaries have dedicated their lives to bring the gospel to people who have never heard the name of Christ. Often, these villages are many miles apart. For the native missionary on foot, reaching these villages may take several days. A bicycle, can significantly shorten travel time and enable these workers to spend more time sharing the gospel. Costs vary from $50 each in India up to $100 in Africa and elsewhere.
Giving a native missionary a bicycle can expand his area of mission activity by 25-fold.

Help a native missionary with a Gospel Bike
Bicycles are not toys in India, it is work horse for evangelism and church planting. Many of our missionaries travel 15 to 20 miles
daily to share the gospel with villagers. A bicycle will allow them to get to their destination quicker. Since they are struggling
for their basic needs of their ministry and family, they are not able to buy one without your help. You can provide a bicycle for a native missionary with one-time help of $90. My friends it will be a great privilege for you to support a missionary with a bike. They will take the gospel message to the thousands of most unreached people on behalf of you.

Support a Christian Missionary - Testimonial
"If my bicycle could get to heaven, there would be several people who will thank my bicycle! Before this bicycle, I used to walk thirty kilometers (about 20 miles) or more each day, visiting my congregation and sharing the Gospel in the surrounding villages. Now I am able to reach my people faster and carry more supplies. Thank you!"
