These dire situations cry for relief. Humanitarian relief is crucial. GMF Children International works to make a difference in the lives of these children with food, health care, education to break the cycle of poverty, and hope for the future. We are not just a social service agency offering humanitarian aid to destitute children; we are a strategic evangelistic mission.
Real human change and true hope for the future takes place when individuals respond, with repentance and faith, to the good news of the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Our goal is to provide the help, education, and discipleship needed to raise up a generation that know and love the Lord and will make a difference for Him in their culture.
