India, Nepal, & Bhutan
Susanta Patra was the very first national missionary in
the Global Fellowship family. His lone vision to reach West Bengal with Christ
has grown into the dynamic ministry of National Fellowship with over 700 paid
and volunteer workers. Together they are reaching this vast area with the
gospel. National Fellowship sees over 6,000 make decisions for Christ, and over
2,000 publicly profess their faith yearly! They also have over 10,000 people
involved in Bible correspondence courses.
National Fellowship has now targeted all 16 northern
states of India with the gospel (not just West Bengal). That's 720,000,000
people! Within this area there is, on average, one evangelical Christian to
every 100,000 people. Workers with National Fellowship are also working in Nepal
and Bhutan, and training a similar ministry in Bangladesh.

Morocco
"Partnering with Global Fellowship in Morocco we have an amazing couple with an
incredible calling of God upon their lives. They have a shared vision to do the impossible:
win Morocco for Christ. With over 99% of the population holding strongly to the Islamic faith,
they face an extremely difficult task. The difficulty has not hindered them in the least.
They have taken on the challenge and have begun faithfully ministering to those around them.
Over the last six months, they have found men and women in their communities who are seeking
the truth. They are always quick to share their faith in Jesus Christ with those who are
looking for answers. As a result, they have been able to gather around them a small group
of seekers and begin to train them in Biblical knowledge. The progress is slow, but steady,
and God has been faithful to them as they faithfully seek His will.
Our friend in Morocco says, "Our aim is to reach as many unbelievers as possible and
bring them to the Lord but in this country it is difficult to do so. We will work on planting
churches and collecting new people at the same time. So after having a first small group we
will help someone get trained to become the leader of this group. At the same time we will begin
a new group and do the same thing with it. In this way following Apostle Paul's vision we would
have multiple churches collaborating together."
God is doing an exciting work in Morocco! Please consider partnering with us in prayer and
with financial gifts so that more souls may be won for Christ in Morocco!"
Slovenia
Toni Mrvic
Kocevje, Slovenia
Slovenia, with a population of just over two million people, is a land with very few followers of Jesus Christ. Just over 1000 total people in Slovenia profess faith in Him.
Toni has been living in Kocevje since 2001. Kocevje is a small town of just over 16,000 people, most of whom are atheists. Kocevje has an extremely violent history dating back to the time when Tito and the Partisans executed thousands of people; collaborationists of the Nazi regime such as the Slovenian Domobranci (Slovenian Home Guard) and their families. Kocevje is also the birthplace of Communism in Slovenia.
That dark past has led to a dark present for Kocevje. There is a spiritual darkness that is evident in the city. Toni is a man of intense vision who aims to see this darkness turned into light. In the past years, he has planted a thriving church in Kocevje which has blossomed over the last few years. There are currently more than fifty people attending the weekly services. He has also planted many small groups in surrounding towns and villages. In spite of the spiritual darkness, which often takes the form of personal attacks against Toni, he and his wife, Mateja, have remained faithful to the call and continue to serve Christ faithfully.
The situation remains dire in Slovenia. The enemy has a strong hold on this region of the world. Prayer is essential if freedom in Christ is to be achieved in this area. Pray that God would open hearts and minds and allow people to have faith in Him. Pray that habits would be broken, strongholds broken down, and lives changed for God’s glory.
Please consider partnering with Toni in prayer and with financial gifts so that more souls may be won for Christ and so that all of Slovenia may hear the true message of Jesus Christ.
Drago Sukic
Kranj, Slovenia
Slovenia, with a population of just over two million people, is a land with very few followers of Jesus Christ. Just over 1000 total people in Slovenia profess faith in Him.
Kranj is the fourth largest city in Slovenia with nearly 60,000 people. It currently has one Protestant church in the city. Drago and his wife, Megi, founded that church in 2004. Growth has come slowly due to the general apathy of Slovenia toward Christianity and the stranglehold of the Catholic church upon the region.
Currently, there is a movement among the youth, a turning of hearts and minds toward the things of God. The youth group at the Kranj church is flourishing and gives hope for future generations. However, this group is under constant attack from the enemy in an attempt to break it apart and steal the joy and witness from this group.

Arpi & Mirjam Zoldos
Lendava, Slovenia

Arpi and Mirjam Zoldos partner with Joze and Nada Casar (Mirjam’s parents) in a supporting role. Arpi and Mirjam are an integral part of the ministry as they are the worship leaders for both the church in Murska Sobota and the church in Lendava. Mirjam is also well schooled in the English language as she graduated from Azusa Pacific University. With that skill, she is constantly doing translations of music and sermons into the Slovene language so that more people can hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

Joze Casar
Murska Sobota, Slovenia
Slovenia, with a population of just over two million people, is a land with very few followers of Jesus Christ. Just over 1000 total people in Slovenia profess faith in Him.
Murska Sobota is located in the "chicken-head" portion of Slovenia called Prekmuria and is the administrative and commercial center of the region. The population is around 25,000. Currently there are only three Protestant churches in the area. One of those churches was founded and is pastored by Joze Casar. Joze has also started a church in the second largest city in Prekmuria, Lendava. Joze works diligently to build relationships with anyone and everyone in order to be able to share with them the love of Jesus. He and his wife, Nada, are constantly visiting needy families and supplying them with much needed food, meeting with young men addicted to drugs and helping them find help, and answering questions of disenfranchised Catholics who are seeking answers to the issues of life. Joze and Nada are quick to share the love of Christ with anyone who will listen, and sometimes even those who won’t. Their efforts have resulted in many Slovenes coming to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. At one time, nearly ten percent of all of Slovene Christians attended the church in Murska Sobota under Joze’s care.
In spite of all of their hard work, the situation remains dire in Slovenia. The enemy has a strong hold on this region of the world. Prayer is essential if freedom in Christ is to be achieved in this area. Pray that God would open hearts and minds and allow people to have faith in Him. Pray that habits would be broken, strongholds broken down, and lives changed for God’s glory.
Please consider partnering with Joze in prayer and with financial gifts so that more souls may be won for Christ and so that all of Slovenia may hear the true message of Jesus Christ.

Women's Ministry
Global Fellowship is honored to work alongside many women of many countries as a part of The Women’s Ministries. These women strive to share with their own peers and neighbors the Good News of Jesus Christ. Many of these women in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Kenya, and many more also minister to the needs of the women in their communities by offering physical assistance such as food and clothing. Several of these women are also endeavoring to find ways of self-support for widows and destitute women in their lives. These women are working diligently alongside their indigenous missionary husbands and fathers. Their tasks are difficult. Please consider how you can partner with women in supporting The Women’s Ministry in funding for micro-lending and training.
Children's Ministry
Global Fellowship is blessed to have the opportunity to work on behalf of children around the world. We sponsor five different orphanages in Thailand, India, and Sri Lanka. We are involved in schools and nursery programs in Sri Lanka. We have also sponsored the building and maintaining of a school for missionary children and as an outreach to local Buddhist children in India. What a joy to see these young lives encouraged by the Gospel. We desire to continue to impact these children with the truth of God. Consider partnering with one or more of the children’s ministries that you too may make an impact in the lives of children.
Global Fellowship offers short-term missionary
opportunities that change lives. Raising financial support is only part of the
encouragement our brothers and sisters need. Visiting these missionaries and
encouraging them with training, medical help, and technical support is a vital
part of our ministry. Visit Getting Involved to learn more about how you can help.
