Millions of people in Asia are still waiting to hear the message of hope and forgiveness in Christ for the first time. National missionaries are faithfully ministering among these people, sharing the news of God's grace and mercy, but they need a team of "senders" to stand behind them and equip them for ministry.
By serving behind the scenes at GFA's Australian office or any other support-country office, GFA staff members link "sending" brothers and sisters in their own country with the workers in Asia. Together, they enable national missionaries to minister to those who haven't heard about Christ.
Each staff member has heard the Lord's call to work behind the scenes, ministering to both national missionaries in Asia and the Body of Christ worldwide. Our service is more than a job—it's a ministry.
"The Lord impressed upon my heart that there is a real need for people to stand in the gap for the most unreached, and that He was leading me back to GFA World to serve in the UK office…How wonderful to think of the people who will be in heaven because of national missionaries sharing Christ's love, and what a blessing to have a part in that!"

GFA's Australian office plays a vital role in bringing the transforming grace of Jesus to people in Asia. We raise awareness about the needs on the mission field, process donations, garner financial and prayer support for ministry in Asia, and report to donors about what God is doing through the ministry.
Here are some of the roles we serve in:
"Being part of GFA World is such a great privilege. Knowing every day, every minute, every key stroke, is making a difference for God's eternal kingdom fills me with tremendous joy and gratitude. There is such purpose to life, and there is no other place I would rather be."
— Joan
Spouses and children also have the opportunity to serve in different ways. They join in prayer meetings and some even volunteer in the office. Spouses and children are just as much a part of the GFA team as those who serve in the office.
The GFA community is a great place for each family member to grow spiritually while also playing a vital role in touching this generation with Christ's love.
Each staff member must:
"In 2006 I heard a GFA speaker talk about the unreached villages of Asia. I suddenly understood how desperate so many people on the other side of the world are and how my privileged existence was only available for an elite few. I joined staff a few years later, ready to give up everything. I arrived expecting nothing but harsh treatment in the face of such an urgent reality, but instead was relieved to find a community of grace, love and patience. I found a small family within the Church. . . focused on reaching Asia with the Good News."
— John Paul
