Campaign coincides with International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Oct. 17; Online PR News � 17-October-2019 Faith-based mission agency GFA World (Formerly: Gospel for Asia, http://www.gfa.ca) has revealed its top tips for those who want to help end global poverty, marking International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on October 17. Extreme poverty – earning $1.90 or less per day – impacts 736 million people around the world, double the population of the U.S. and Canada combined. The United Nations established Oct.17 each year as International Day for the Eradication of Poverty as a campaign to end abject poverty. Poverty is the tip of a Titanic-like iceberg, said GFA founder Dr. K.P. Yohannan who has spent his life helping the poor in Asia. Povertys hidden impacts include almost three billion people without a toilet, and one billion people without safe drinking water. No Silver Bullet GFAs top five global poverty-fighting tips are: Americans Transform Lives Bhrithi, a young widow with two boys, was evicted from the roadside where she sold vegetables. Through the GFA Gift Catalogue, a donor provided a pull cart – turning Bhrithi into a mobile market and boosting her income overnight. Because she knew the gift came from Christians, she started going to church to learn about God. Our passion is to see these precious people come to know they have incredible value in Gods eyes, and that he loves them deeply, said Yohannan. The problem of global poverty is huge, but if we each do our part, we can change the world. ### Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2019, GFA World, www.gfa.ca is a leading faith-based mission agency, bringing vital assistance and spiritual hope to millions, especially to those who have yet to hear the “good news” of Jesus Christ.
