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 />
