The Mission Support Team: Serving As a Vital Link

The Mission Support Team is comprised of behind-the-scenes missionaries who serve in GFA (SA)’s administrative offices. Although they serve in offices far from the physical mission field of Asia, their role is vital to the ministry.

For nearly 40 years, behind-the-scenes missionaries have functioned as a crucial link between the mission field and the Western Church. By communicating with GFA supporters in their country and raising resources for the field, the Mission Support Team has provided the field with critical prayer and financial support needed for ministry.

In much the same way that the Mission Support Team stands behind the front-line workers on the field, you can stand with behind-the-scenes missionaries and enable them to continue in their role.

By partnering with a behind-the-scenes missionary, you will:

Facilitate the involvement of the Body of Christ in ministering in more than a dozen Asian nations, all deeply in need of God’s powerful transformation.
Link your life with a dedicated individual whose service in a GFA office enables more than 100 national men and women missionaries to serve hands-on in Asia.
Be part of ministering to more than 70,000 impoverished children through GFA’s Child Sponsorship Program. Each member of the Mission Support Team represents more than 500 children who are being helped.
Gain a personal connection to an individual or family who has firsthand information and passion about the ministry in Asia.

GFA’s Mission Support Team is your opportunity to enable others to fulfill their God-given role.

Think back to the men and women God has used throughout history to do great things for His name. Behind each one, you will find dedicated individuals who labored alongside of, prayed for, or financially supported their cause.

God is powerfully moving through GFA-supported workers in Asia, who are ministering to some of the neediest people in the world, and behind those workers is the Mission Support Team.

Testimonials

“Being the CFO of a non-profit, I know that the home office expenses are very hard to fundraise for, and it is hard to get the best people for the position when they depend on donations directly to salary to support them. ... [But] without the home office staff and supplies, no missionaries would reach the field.”

—Stephanie

“Everyone who does ministry understands the critical importance of logistical and administrative support. The less visible jobs should have no less honor and support in the church (to make reference to 1 Cor. 12). When we all do our part, the unity of the body is complete. I am happy to support those who support. It is an honor to be a servant of God’s servants.”

—Fred and Janet

But the Mission Support Team also needs support—both financial and prayerful—to fulfill its role.

Behind-the-scenes missionaries raise financial support, which enables GFA to provide more resources for the work on the mission field. But as economies and cultures have changed, raising sufficient support for each team member has grown increasingly difficult and requires more time and energy—time and energy that could be spent in valuable support of the work in Asia.
