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 comprised 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 has provided 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 missionaries on the field, you can stand with behind-the-scenes missionaries and enable them to continue in their role.
Children in developing countries all over the world, like their parents before them, are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They lack access to tools that would break the cycle and change things for themselves and future generations.
But Child Sponsorship helps free these children from the cycle of poverty, and through our community development approach, it changes their families and communities, too! Together we can fulfill Christ’s command to care for and love children in poverty.
National missionaries bring words of life and hope to people in places where Christ’s love has never been shared. They do so by:
When you support the National Missionary program, you enable missionaries to serve full time, resulting in lives changed for eternity.
Women missionaries courageously serve in harsh areas to bring hope to some of the most downtrodden people, especially women and children. Their ministry can take a variety of forms, such as literacy training, prayer, counseling, discipleship for women, 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.
