MISSION TO THE UNREACHED
"Going to the ends of the earth."
Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'
Matthew 9:37-38
GGFAN has aligned with several other ministries operating in the remote regions of Samburu and beyond to collaboratively reach tribes through orality training, church planting, and discipleship. Churches become community centers that meet spiritual and physical needs that have never been met.
MERCY MINISTRY
"Saving lives and livelihoods"
The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:40
The arm through which GGFAN helps meet unmet needs by providing famine relief, medical camps, water projects, and agricultural best practices. Urgent needs must be met, but our focus is always on creating sustainable change.
HOME OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD (HOTGS)
"Rescuing Kids"
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
James 1:27
HOTGS takes vulnerable and abandoned children off the streets and into the safety of HOTGS where they can begin to heal their trauma. Social Workers reunite the children with their tribe by finding and empowering the right foster family. Our staff monitors and supports their journey to adulthood.
LITTLE LAMBS ACADEMY
"Creating the next generation Kenyan leaders"
"By wisdom, a house is built, through understanding it is established; through knowledge, its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures"
Proverbs 24:3-4
LLA delivers effective affordable Christian education to the community and
HOTGS. It is a primary school, serving preschool through 8th grade, teaching
students how to learn while developing their self-esteem. LLA has a holistic
curriculum not found in the typical Kenyan school, including critical life skills and
digital skills.
CHURCH EMPOWERMENT
"Nurturing creativity and accountability"
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, Here I am. Send me!'
Isaiah 6:8
This initiative oversees previously planted churches and coordinates seminars, conferences, and other local church activities. Churches learn how to innovatively develop the full potential of their congregation, with a focus on the role of women and youth.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
"Enabling personal growth"
GGFAN is committed to the development of its staff, children and
congregations through internal and external training. In addition, we operate a
Pastors’ school that trains cohorts of indigenous leaders in a rigorous
government-recognized 12-month program. Graduates learn how to grow their
pastoral skills and their congregations.

In 2016, I took my first mission trip to Kenya and witnessed the awesome power of God at work through GGFAN. The human challenges being overcome were indescribable and the power of collaboration and love were undeniable. If your goal is to make a difference, this is a very good place to do it.
