Our Impact


This past weekend, our nineteenth mission team of the year landed back on US soil .  We are getting inundated with testimonies from our teams as they are coming back from our sites in China, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Nepal, Tanzania, Thailand and Ukraine.  People are being saved.  Orphans are being cared for.  Families who are starving are being fed.  The sick are being healed through prayer and medicine.  And most importantly, the name of Jesus is being lifted up and proclaimed literally thousands of times around the world.

If you would like to know the impact just one of our teams can make, here is a brief summary of what the first of two of our teams in the Philippines was able to accomplish:

Team Philippines (May 2012)


2,000+  people heard the Gospel (some for the first time)
   860  children were fed
   200  children received GI school bags packed with food and supplies
     65  families with disabled persons received groceries

Our Philippines contact wrote to me in an email recently saying,

“[The trip] was awesome! I believe the Lord not only worked through us but ministered to us as well. As much as I enjoyed the missions work, I also enjoyed our fellowship and time of sharing during our down time or when we were together.  The [Global Infusion] team was so prepared that I did not have trouble with the ministry at all.  Thank you so much for the privilege to minister with your teams. This allows me to go to places I have not gone before. For this I am grateful.
 
For all of you who have supported us, I offer a sincere “thank-you.”  This is only a glimpse into what GI is doing around the world, and this is still only the beginning.
