My GFA Story
Years ago, I had a clear call from God to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel". Answering that call I worked with a third world tribal ministry for 5 years. These were then the best and most rewarding years of my life. Unexpectedly, my husband, four children and I had to return to the U.S. from Côte d’Ivoire, Africa. Confused and deeply disappointed, I chose to stay in the states and raise my children rather than uprooting them again. During those many years of love and growth, I stayed active in ministry but always felt a bit unsettled. Now, with the season of raising children having passed, and with my husband gone to be with the Lord, the original call and desire of my heart resurged with the same sense of urgency and passion I had felt years ago. Today, I serve with GFA World and, once again, I find myself, in what feels to be, the center of God's will working in a 40 year young ministry that is "Transforming Communities through Christ's Love" in the hardest to reach areas of the world!
What I do
My position at GFA World is one of diversity and service. My main responsibility as an MP Representative in the Ministry Partners Department is to respond, encourage and pray for individuals who provide financial gifts to support those who serve in the hardest to reach areas of the world. These folks are of infinite value to the Great Commission as their partnership with GFA enables the national missionaries to continue sharing the Gospel while also helping to meet the desperate physical needs in these communities.

Favorite Bible verse
Psalm 71:17-18
Favorite Field Ministry
So often it is the women and children within some cultures that are abused or abandoned, barely surviving in horrible conditions. GFA reaches out to "the least of these" (Matthew 25:31-46), to provide hope and purpose through the work of the Sisters of Compassion; another far reaching ministry of GFA World.
Hobbies and Interests
So many wonderful options in life, but the hobbies I enjoy most are painting with acrylic on canvas (in the past I was a High School art teacher). Lately I have been working on pet portraits for family and friends and capturing the spring colors of the flowers of Wills Point Texas, where I currently live. I also deeply enjoy kayaking, walks and grandchildren! There is also a bit of wanderlust in my bones so an extended road trip is always an adventure to which I look forward
About Partnering with Behind-the-Scenes Missionaries
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.
