Christmas is one day long, but your Christmas gift can link your life with someone in need for an entire year! Bless families and even transform entire communities by providing an education for needy children, equipping national workers or enabling behind-the-scenes missionaries to give vital support to the mission field. Through your gift, communities will hear about Christ and see that He cares about them—all year long!
The Mission Support Team is composed of behind-the-scenes missionaries who serve in GFA World’s administrative offices. Although they serve in offices far from the physical mission field, their role is vital to the ministry.
For nearly 40 years, behind-the-scenes missionaries have functioned as a crucial link between the mission field and the Western Church. By communicating with GFA supporters in their country and raising resources for the field, the Mission Support Team provides the field with the critical prayer and financial support needed for ministry.
In much the same way that the Mission Support Team stands behind frontline workers on the field, you can stand with behind-the-scenes missionaries and enable them to continue in their role.
“Our family has been blessed through our support of stateside missionaries at the GFA office in Texas. ... [We] see how their work is enabling national missionaries to be the hands and feet of Jesus.” —Kevin, a supporter from Arkansas
Far too many children in the areas we serve struggle in abject poverty. Without things like proper nutrition, clean water and education, they have no hope of breaking free of cyclical poverty and attaining a better future.
GFA’s Child Sponsorship Program offers hope through long-term community development programs that empower children and their communities to improve their lives in lasting, transformational ways. We’ve found the most effective way to help a child is to strengthen the child’s entire community, and the work we do is tailored to the specific needs within a child’s respective community. This may mean improving access to resources like clean water, better nutrition, basic healthcare, education and economic opportunities.
By linking your life with an impoverished child through GFA World’s Child Sponsorship Program, you can help give them a future filled with possibilities and hope.
Today, national missionaries like evangelist Marty are bringing words of life and hope to people in places where Christ’s love has never been shared.
National missionaries:
By giving toward GFA World’s National Missionary Program, you’ll equip men and women to serve full time by covering their living and ministry expenses—resulting in lives transformed for eternity.
“It’s my prayer and desire that the Lord will bring so many people to Him in this area. ... [I want to] help them grow in the Lord, [so] they will take up the responsibilities of the church in the days to come. That’s my prayer and my desire.” —Pastor Marty, a GFA worker serving in one of Asia’s slums
Women missionaries courageously serve in harsh areas to effectively bring hope to some of the most downtrodden people in areas we serve. They personally relate to the struggles of the women they meet and can minister to women and children unhindered by the cultural boundaries that male missionaries encounter. Women missionaries uplift communities by providing literacy training, prayer, counseling, discipleship for women in the local church, and news of hope for all who hunger for true love.
By sponsoring a woman missionary, you’ll enable them to minister to those forgotten by much of society. Uplifting the lives of women is one of the most significant ways to transform families and communities.
