As a teenager, I sensed the Lord was leading me toward missions. Then, when I visited South Asia for a month in 2006, He showed me the significance of national missionaries. I watched how our brothers and sisters in Asia were bringing Christ's life-transforming love into their own communities and regions. Ever since, the Lord has impressed on my heart that it is an awesome privilege to work alongside believers in other parts of the world to fulfill the Great Commission (Romans 10:14-15). I serve at GFA World so I can use my gifts and abilities to partner with these national missionaries as they share Christ's love, in word and deed, in communities in Africa and Asia.
I work in Communications and Development. I write and edit stories for our print publications and website so GFA's partners/donors can read about the amazing things God is doing through national missionaries. Sometimes I also work on special projects to help GFA understand the most effective, encouraging ways to connect with our partners.

You can help provide for a member of the Mission Support Team for as little as $50 per month. For each monthly pledge to GFA World’s Behind-the-Scenes Missionary Fund, you will receive a packet that includes the photo and personal information of a behind-the-scenes missionary you can pray for and contact. (To pledge more than $50 monthly, please call us at 1-800-946-2742.)
Whatever role the team member plays in their administrative office—from contacting ministry supporters to processing donations or designing web pages—each one fills a crucial need within the ministry and enables more than 100 national missionaries to minster in Asia.
