Transforming communities through Christ's love since 1979. GFA World is about changing communities—both for this life and for eternity. We serve the Lord in more than a dozen Asian nations. Built on the foundation of national missionaries, each part of our ministry works together to transform communities—from community development projects and literacy programs to clean water and medical care. GFA
-supported missionaries have been called by the Lord to share the love of Christ in Asia. In preparation for ministry, these workers go through Bible college. They know the language or can easily learn a related dialect; they live among the people; and they can move freely in areas restricted to outsiders. Most of all, they have a burden and passion to minister to their own people. More than 75,000 children are finding brighter futures through GFA's Bridge of Hope Program. Through education and basic care, these children have an opportunity to free their families from the cycle of poverty. Clean water, income-producing farm animals, sewing machines and other simple gifts touch hearts and increase the health and livelihood of communities. And through GFA-supported Compassion ministries, leprosy patients, widows and natural disaster victims find hope and help. We join our hearts to be the hands and feet of Jesus, for such a time as this. Together, by His Spirit, we can minister to this generation.
