How Will Africa Christian Medical Missions Address the Physical and Spiritual Needs of Impoverished Families?

Africa Christian medical missions are a new area that GFA World is exploring. We have spent more than 40 years in Asia sharing the love of Jesus Christ and addressing the needs of the poor. With our long history of service on that continent, GFA has touched many people’s lives through initiatives to provide clean water, education for children and care for the marginalized. Recently the Lord opened the door to ministry in Africa, specifically in Rwanda, where our work can change the lives and communities of the people.[1]

Africa is the largest continent, with over 1.5 billion people living in 54 countries. Sixty percent of the population is under the age of 25,[2] many of whom are trapped in the cycle of poverty, which often persists from one generation to another. Throughout these countries, there is a huge need for life basics, such as health care, water and education. In cities like Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, impoverished people face several problems, beginning with water shortage and the absence of medical facilities.
