No Longer a Slumdog<br />

A GFA Bridge of Hope center brings hope to the entire<br />

community. When the townspeople see the staff unconditionally<br />

loving the children, they want to k<strong>no</strong>w more. This is when they<br />

experience the incredible care that Jesus has for older generations<br />

as well. The result is that they just naturally want to k<strong>no</strong>w about<br />

this God who leads people forward and gives them such value.<br />

What makes GFA Bridge of Hope unique<br />

The children at GFA Bridge of Hope centers have the<br />

opportunity to be transformed, <strong>no</strong>t only because of the physical<br />

means of food, clothing and a practical education, including the<br />

amazing blessing of being able to read the written word, but also<br />

through the power of Jesus Christ. Although we are committed<br />

to alleviating the pains of this present world through physical aid<br />

and education, we are even more concerned about the eternal<br />

fate of these precious children.<br />

GFA Bridge of Hope is a natural extension of our mission<br />

to reach the unreached with the love of Christ. Literally tens of<br />

thousands of people experience the love of God through our GFA<br />

Bridge of Hope ministry alone, but this is just the initial fruit of a<br />

much greater harvest. It is our hope that each child will spread this<br />

divine love they receive to all those around them. So one becomes<br />

five, which becomes twenty, then a hundred and even a thousand.<br />

These numbers will be even higher when we have more centers.<br />

There are still millions of children who are eagerly waiting.<br />

And it’s our heart’s desire to reach them, <strong>no</strong>t only with the<br />

promise that education brings, but also with the transforming<br />

power of the love of Christ.<br />
