Our heart and passion have always been—and always will be—to bring the love of Christ to the most hurting and broken in our generation.
Looking back over the years, God’s merciful hand can be seen in everything—especially the steadfast support received from partners around the world. GFA began more than 40 years ago, believing God’s love and mercy were the answers for all people, particularly those in Asia, where the needs are so great. And He has been faithful to honor that belief in every ministry venture we’ve undertaken.
In just one year alone, amidst growing opposition, GFA continued to share the love and compassion of Christ throughout 20 nations. And to date, 12,000 local congregations and fellowship groups are worshiping God across Asia. In spite of increased persecution and difficulties, hundreds of thousands of precious lives have been impacted with the love of God and changed for all eternity.
