GSF Community Development

We believe the Gospel is the foundation for Community Development, that the Fruit of the Spirit will blossom in lives grounded in faith, hope, and love, thus resulting in thriving families and transforming communities. On such a foundation, we seek to come alongside and collaborate with leaders and members of the local communities to research, plan, implement, and oversee integrated movements of personal, economic, and spiritual growth. The focus of these movements is on reconciliation with God, self, others, and the land, highlighting the people’s dignity, assets and resources while addressing the brokenness within their communities. 

Out of this process, the following initiatives and movements are currently taking place (Lord willing, with more to come) within GSF Community Development: Food & Medical Relief, The Proclaimer Program (audio Bible), Farming God’s Way, The Stoplight Approach (parenting), Adult Literacy Training (integrated with ESL, math and business, human rights, Christianity, health), Wise Choices for Life (reproductive health), Tailoring School, Evangelism Explosion, Trees for School Fees, Trauma Healing, Earth Bag House Building, Moringa Nutrition, Post Harvest Storage and Handling, Marked Men for Christ, Community Centre for Children with Disabilities, Freedom in Christ.
