Message from Patrick
I'm turning 50 on August 8th, 2015. (Okay, actually it was January 14th, but last year I changed my date to August 8th because it's more fun to celebrate in summer.) Holly and I have been talking about significance and our continuing role in global missions.
For my 50th, instead of the usual party gifts, I'd like to shift our focus to providing a meaningful gift to others who really would be helped and blessed by our giving. Would you honor me by supporting this campaign?
About National Missionaries
National missionaries have a passion to help the people in their nations understand Christ's love. They pray for and minister to those who are sick. They provide income-generating gifts to families living in poverty. They serve communities in practical ways, such as by organizing medical camps, adult literacy classes and community service projects. They help mothers and fathers provide for their children's education and future development. They also have a deep burden to help people know and experience the love of Christ—just like they have experienced.
Through GFA's National Missionary Fund, we can provide for the ministry and living expenses of the missionaries who do not yet have sponsors. This enables them to stay focused on the work God has put before them.
God's power and love is on display through the lives of these missionaries. To learn more about the missionaries, click on the "My Testimony" button at the top of each image at www.gfa.org.
About GFA World
TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES IN ASIA AND AFRICA
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: See communities in Asia and Africa discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we’ve found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.
Our Stewardship Commitment
GFA World is dedicated to the most effective and efficient stewardship of resources, according to 1 Corinthians 3:12-14. Contributions to GFA are income tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. All gift options represent GFA's actual ministry efforts to meet the diverse needs of individuals and communities. GFA World seeks to use contributions raised for a particular ministry in furtherance of that charitable objective, but retains control and discretion over all donated funds to further its overall charitable objectives.
