Global Impact

Since 1979, GFA World has been committed to serving the “least of these” in Asia and Africa, often in places where no one else is serving, so communities can experience the love of God for the first time. GFA supports national workers by sponsoring missionaries, caring for children, investing in community development, and providing aid to families in need and during times of disaster.

While the apprenticeship takes place at the U.S. home office, its impact reaches far beyond. Each apprentice plays a vital role in supporting national workers on the field by helping provide the resources, communication, and prayer needed for the Gospel to reach some of the most remote areas of the world.
