A True Christ-Centered Community

GFA’s campus near Dallas, Texas, provides a unique place to serve God in a Christ-centered community.

Ministry in our office provides the opportunity to combine your faith and gifting to impact the life and faith of communities across the world.

Serving as a Family

GFA provides a family-oriented experience where ministry and family don’t compete. Instead, they complement one another as the entire family can participate in serving Jesus together.

A Ministry Sustained by Prayer

GFA is a ministry founded on, committed to and sustained by prayer.

This emphasis began more than 40 years ago with just a handful of staff gathered in K.P. and Gisela Yohannan’s home every Tuesday night. Tuesday prayer continues today as our staff family seeks the Lord for the needs of the ministry, the mission field and the world.

Most days begin with intercession, and office work stops at different times for prayer and reading God’s Word together. Extended nights of intercession, prayer chains and special gatherings continue to sustain and breathe life into the ministry.

Connected to the Mission Field

The work taking place across Africa and Asia is never far from view.

We are privileged to hear news and information about the work we are supporting on the mission field. A constant flow of encouraging reports and stories from our field partners helps our staff see how God is at work and keeps us encouraged in our labors.

Daily tasks become part of something much larger: helping national missionaries bring Christ’s love to people and communities still waiting to hear.
