GFA World Bites Back at ‘Earth’s Deadliest Creature’
It’s the world’s deadliest creature — and it’s probably hovering near your home.
The tiny mosquito kills more people around the world every year than any other animal, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
“It’s so deadly, it even has a special day named after it — World Mosquito Day,” said K.P. Yohannan (Metropolitan Yohan), founder of mission agency GFA World (www.gfa.ca) that helps millions of families in South Asia and Africa where huge swaths of the population are at the mosquito’s mercy. It’s estimated more than 240 million people battled mosquito-borne malaria in 2020 alone.
As Nala lay wondering if there was anywhere left to turn for help, she received a visit from GFA pastor Chinua.
Since 1979, we have been committed to serving the “least of these” in Asia and Africa, often in places where no one else is serving, so they can experience the love of God for the first time. GFA World (Formerly: Gospel for Asia) supports national workers serving as the hands and feet of Christ in four main ways. Sponsoring national missionaries to minister to people’s needs, sponsoring children, investing in community development and helping families in need of care or during disasters.
