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.

Slovenia
Jozef and Nada Casar founded a church in Slovenia around
their kitchen table in 1993. The church has grown to over 50 faithful followers.
These are all new believers in a land where few are willing to give their hearts
to Jesus. Jozef left his job (and nice income) in 1998 to devote himself
full-time to the ministry.
Jozef and Nada are among the few in the country who a have
been effective in evangelism over the last nine years. Jozef trains believers in
evangelism and church planting and sends them out to plant more churches in this
difficult nation of 2 plus million, where only 700 people truly put their faith
in Jesus. In 2004, Joze and Nada were joined by their daughter Mirjam
(pronounced Miriam) upon her graduation from Azusa Pacific University in
California.
Mexico
Jorge Vazquez pastors churches in Zorillo and Ajusco, Baja
California. He is burdened to reach the migrant workers from Oaxaca (Wah-ha-kah)
in southern Mexico who travel yearly to work the fields of Ajusco. Jorge's
co-worker has planted a church in Oaxaca. Jorge plans to begin more churches
among these needy people.
Thailand & Burma
In Chaing Rai, Thailand, Pastor Songsak
Pairumpuengsakul (isn't that a great last name!) is ministering to the Akha
people through the Akha Evangelical Church of Thailand (AECT). With 16 workers
in Burma and 21 in Thailand, AECT is spreading the gospel among the Akha people
all along the border between Burma and Thailand.
Most of these evangelists are young men in their early
20's! Their success is amazing and some Akha villages are completely won for
Christ. AECT also runs a fantastic Christian orphanage in Chaing Rai that
ministers to thirty children.

In Sri Lanka, Rev. Ranjan

In addition to planting churches, they work to build
disciples of Christ and improve their living conditions by offering practical
training, and opportunities like: sewing machines and classes, proper toilets,
freshwater wells, and a street children's ministry. Rev. Fernando and his
co-workers are experiencing steady growth in this civil war-torn nation.

West Africa
Global Fellowship supports evangelists and
church planters in Liberia, Senegal, and Mali. This work is revitalized
outgrowth of the work we had the opportunity to begin 17 years ago while
ministering in Liberia. There is potential for this work to spread to thirteen
West African nations. Islam in these areas is nominal and the evangelistic
results have been encouraging.
Children's
Ministries
Global Fellowship is blessed to have the opportunity to
work on behalf of children around the world. We sponsor 5 different orphanages
in Thailand, India, and Sri Lanka. We are involved in schools and nursery
programs in Sri Lanka, and have 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.
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.
