WELCOME TO GFA WORLD

Since 1979, we have been committed to serving the "least of these" in Asia and Africa, primarily in places where no one has ever heard the name of Jesus. Today, nearly 3 billion people have little to no opportunity to ever hear the name of Jesus. We are partnered with National Missionaries serving as the hands and feet of Christ, children in poverty, and community development initiatives. As a small Christian missions order, we are committed to excellence and doing life together as a family journeying toward Jesus.

OUR MISSION

We exist to ensure no one dies without knowing the love of Christ and give people the chance to experience a transformed life in Christ by partnering with National Missionaries to bring the love of Jesus to communities still waiting to hear His name.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Our mission relies on strong systems and faithful stewardship. This role ensures GFA World remains financially sound, legally compliant, and operationally effective. You will steward resources, support staff, and maintain the systems that allow our work to grow sustainably.

As a small team, we do not have separate departments. We rely on people who take ownership, learn, solve problems, and strengthen the organisation. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating systems, spotting gaps, and ensuring things do not fall through the cracks.

OCCUPATIONAL REQUIREMENT

Subscribe to GFA World's Statement of Faith and the Nicene Creed.

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY LIFE

GFA World is a Christian ministry, and prayer is central to who we are and how we serve. All staff participate in regular corporate prayer as part of normal organisational life. These times include reading Scripture, sharing thanksgiving, and praying for the needs of the ministry, our staff, and the mission field. The successful applicant will be expected to actively participate in these prayer times and, on occasion, lead them. As with all roles at GFA World, staff are expected to support the spiritual life and mission of the organisation through prayer, service, and Christian fellowship.

GFA WORLD'S STATEMENT OF FAITH

We Believe:

That the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, given to us by the Church – "the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15).
The Nicene Creed to be the official Creed of the Holy Church.
In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.
In the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
That man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which meant they were no longer in communion with God, and physical death was the consequence; and that all people are given the option of being redeemed and restored to God.
The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His victory over death and are, therefore, in right relationship with God.
Salvation means far more than being "saved from sin; we are saved for sonship, to be divinely adopted sons and daughters of God. Forgiveness is the precondition for God's greater gift, the gift that will last beyond our death: the gift of divine life" (1 Corinthians 15:3-7).
Believers in Christ are destined to share in the life of the Holy Trinity. Sharing in the life of God, as God has shared in our humanity (1 Peter 1:4).
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
In the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and eternal separation for those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.
The sacrament of marriage to be ordained by God as a holy union between one man and one woman as biologically defined at birth.

OUR DESIRE

To be devout followers of Christ and to fulfil His Great Commission amongst people still waiting to hear His name for the first time... by training up, sending out, and assisting qualified labourers in partnership with the body of Christ
