Gospel for Asia (GFA) is a Christian missionary organization headquartered in Carrollton, Texas (a suburb of Dallas). GFA focuses on evangelization of India and nearby countries.

GFA's philosophy is to evangelize using native missionaries. GFA states that many of the countries in which it operates are either closed, or are hostile, to Western missionaries. In addition, GFA states that native missionaries are far better able to assimilate into a local culture, at a far less cost than Western missionaries.

GFA states that 100 percent of all funds donated for missionary work are used for that purpose; separate fund-raising is used to maintain the ministry headquarters. GFA is a member of Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).

In August 2005, GFA announced the launching of YTV, 24-hour TV network based in India, which will reach the lost in 120 nations across Asia, parts of Africa, and the Middle East. YTV stands for Yathra TV.
