GFA World International Outreach
See how you can participate in helping us transform impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world.
How is GFA bringing hope and healing to those who need it most?
Since 1979, we’ve been committed to serving the least in Africa and Asia, in places where no one else serves, so they can experience God’s love. We sponsor national workers who: minister as missionaries to address people’s needs — both physical and spiritual — educate children for a better future, invest in community development that alleviates poverty, and help families with everyday pressing needs or during disasters.
“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.”
— Zechariah 4:6
Alleviating Poverty and Suffering
GFA World brings help, relief and income-generating gifts to those who need it most.
The burden of extreme poverty, hunger, and disease weighs heavily on millions of people around the world. GFA World works to alleviate this suffering through gifts that are income-generating, like chickens and goats. Our motivation is to share Christ’s love in practical ways, meeting both physical and spiritual needs. We also provide practical help, like clean water and medical care, conveying the message of God’s love. This brings positive change demonstrating the compassion of Jesus. This holistic approach aims to transform lives and communities, offering hope a future.

Access to clean water is essential, yet many people in Africa and Asia suffer from waterborne diseases due to contaminated water sources. GFA World and its partners provide Jesus Wells and BioSand Water Filters, offering sustainable access to clean water. These humanitarian efforts demonstrate Christ’s love in word and deed.

Sharing the Good News of God’s Love
Spread the message of Christ’s compassion through national missionaries.
Billions of individuals in Africa and Asia are yet to hear the name of Jesus. GFA World sends national missionary workers to share the love of Christ in these communities. These workers connect with people and show God’s love through practical actions. As people experience kindness and hear the message of God’s love, their lives are changed. By partnering with GFA to sponsor a missionary, you can help more people in these communities experience the hope found in a relationship with God. Your partnership makes this possible.
