In 1979 when K.P. Yohannan founded GFA World, he could only dream of the worldwide movement it would become with millions of believers worshiping the Lord across nearly 20 countries. Tens of thousands of Christian workers have been trained and share the love of Christ and hundreds of thousands of families have been lifted out of poverty.
What we are doing throughout Asia we hope to do in Africa.
