I am not a member of GFA or a volunteer but was given the opportunity to visit several of their locations in India. I was so impressed with their sincere humility and desire to reach the unreached in this part of the world. The organization was run efficiently. The number of churches, bridge of hope centers, Jesus wells dug and seminaries dedicated to training pastors and leaders was overwhelming. This organization is doing more with their resources than any organization I have ever seen. I would encourage anyone to support this effort. For anyone that might have questions about the organization, I would say for them to simply ask. Everything was open and no question was off limits to us.
I am praying that God will continue to use GFA and I am glad to have had the opportunity to see this ministry first hand.

This is Dr John Dayal, Member, National Integration council, Government of India, a former National President of the All India catholic Union and Secy Gen of the All India Christian Council. Much of my current work is in the justice, relief and rehab processes in the Tribal and Dalit-dominted Kandhamal District of Orissa. India. Kandhamal saw much violence against the Christian community in 2007 and 2008 in which more than 100 Christians were killed, 6000 of their houses demolished in 400 villages, and 56,000 people rendered homeless. While the catholic church helped rebuild 4000 houses, Believers Church, headed by its Metropolitan Bishop K P Yohannan, came second, building 1,000 churches and assisting in relief and rehab of the victims. The remaining houses were build by other denominational churches. Considering that the government was not keen to help the Christian victims, this was fantastic work done by the church in rebuilding lives. God bless them.

it was one of my great privilage to visit Believers Church works in Rajasthan and found awesome and overwhelming experience to see how deeply their missionaries involve with their works in developing different typical remote villages in Rajasthan. I saw underprivilaged children are getting education, water fecilities provided, women being literally educated and so on. my trip was so refreashing one. I encourage all to take a trip first to some of their fields before you make some commitment ,if you do so I challenge that your commitment would be reshaped and you would do more than you thought to do. Never believe any negative stuff people trying to attack them with as they have so many opponents from all levels. your all questions would be answered if you directly talk to them or visit them. God bless

I never saw any other organization in India being badly attacked by all than GFA ande Believers Church, including political parties, dark world, oppononets of Gopsel, people with bad intensions. But God stood by this Organization in all level, which proof His word that nothing would stand against His church. God with all angel in heaven would protect anything which God himself initiated. People are working with this entities are genuine, committed, faithful and loyal. I have high respect for it's founder Bishop. K.P as a loyal visionorary leader hardly can find in any other organizations in India. His lie is the proof that after having everything a person still can become comitted and devoted to the Lord. Thank God for a leader like him. He is a choosen vesel by the Lord for this generation for sure.

Various media allegation forced the State of kerala to order an enquiry aganist K P Yohannan. He collected money especially United States, Europe and American countries for the rehabilitation and welfare of orphans, leprosy patients, widows, drinking water and community development. But the church officials are cooking accounts and deverting this blood money for making their personal assets like buying rubber estates in Cheruvally Pathanamthitta, Cardamom Plantation in Munnar and investing huge money in the real estate sector and construction of shopping malls. Recently kerala government issued a notification Belivers Church and K P Yohannan could not buy single inch of land in Kerala. As per the government this trust has recieved some Rs 1048 crores as foreign donations for charity but used that money for obtaining personal gains. Request to conduct an enquiry on your side as well. more details can be found on wikipedia under the section controversies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._P._Yohannan http://bishopkpyohannan.blog.com/ http://bishopkpyohannan.wordpress.com/ http://bishopkpyohannan.blogspot.com/

My family and I have been involved with GFA for about 3 years now and we are amased at the difference these people are making in their communities and beyond. They are 100% committed to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ and go ot of their way to serve God and fellow man. They work beyond religious boundaries to reach out to people everywhere. The people serving in GFA are true servants expecting nothing in return. Earthly possessions are of least importance to them and they spend their resources wisely. We had opportunity to visit their Bridge of Hope centre and various campuses. We could witness an organisation of excellence focussed on being true to God's calling for them.

I had some questions that took much longer to get answered than I had hoped. I finally got a phone call from a great guy named Fred who was able to give explanations about all my concerns. I feel much better. I wish they would be quicker to respond to emails though. Despite that, I think the ministry is doing a great job with the people and resources they have.

I was able to volunteer with GFA in Asia and I take it as a privilege to have served alongside some of the most godly and self-sacrificing individuals I have ever met. Their work is far-reaching. I have personally seen God working through this organization to transform the lives of underprivileged people. I've seen people healed, illiterate people gain education, and poor children get hope for their futures. I praise God for the founder, Dr. KP Yohanan and his faithful staff who dedicate their lives to serve the poor and downtrodden across Asia. God bless them all!

If you wanted to see what God can do through sincere but committed simple people, no need to go back to history or the life of 12 disciples ( unschooled) just go to GFA works. You will fall into your knee and worship Him as our God is still in works through simple people like GFA guys.I personally experienced God and His awesome deeds in India by visiting their ministry sites. I appreciate all of you to take a mission trip to India with GFA.

It is my 14th year since I start work with GFA and Believers Church and it is one of the greatest blessing where Icould be the part of what God could do through this church. I thank God for raising up Godly leadership, who has vision and undivided attentions to acheive it. It was an amazing journey with the church for sure.
