WHAT OUR FRIENDS
SAY ABOUT US
I have had the pleasure of knowing the founder and leaders of Global Bridges Relief for decades. My respect for their dedication and success in spreading the benefits of Christianity world-wide through Youth With A Mission (YWAM)—including dangerous countries where Christians are persecuted—is boundless.
These loving and accomplished leaders long ago established GBR as the premier provider of food to those in need around the world, feeding up to tens of thousands daily. They will help change the world by providing relief and God’s Word together. They are not afraid to help people in war-torn areas and behind communist curtains. GBR is an effective organization worthy of your support.

I have known and respected the leaders of Global Bridges Relief for many years. What they have been doing for decades in feeding and caring for thousands of children and trafficked girls in highly restrictive nations is profoundly inspiring and God-honoring. I wholeheartedly applaud and support them in their integrity and unwavering faithfulness in serving the least of these.

I’ve known of the great work of Global Bridges Relief for at least twenty years and deeply appreciate their sacrificial commitment to the neediest among us.
They were feeding up to 72,000 meals per day during a time of great starvation. That takes incredible logistics and more importantly, an amazing heart to care for those less fortunate than themselves. They could have spent their time and resources on “easier assignments.” They chose to do what many of us can’t even imagine. My hat is off to their labor of love.

I have had the unique privilege of serving with Global Bridges Relief in some highly restricted countries and have the highest level of respect and admiration for the bravery of this organization and all who serve within it on a day-to-day basis. GBR has fed upwards of 70,000 orphans per day and have been instrumental in the rescue of children who were targets and/or victims of sex traffickers.

I have been on the advisory board of Global Bridges Relief almost since its inception and consider it a privilege to support the mission of meeting the needs of children and families who are at high risk to survive due to lack of food.
GBR dares to go into places where others may not go. As I have traveled with the leadership of this ministry, one thing remains clear: we desire to serve as Jesus did and care for the needs of others.

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of watching Global Bridges Relief feed thousands of starving children. Every month, they feed, nurture, and meet the needs of up to ten thousand children and families. This ministry has not only followed God’s heart and calling, but they have also walked in the Lord’s footsteps for the last several decades.
GBR is a wonderful ministry to sow into. They have persistently worked day in and day out to aid children and families who have little hope and diminished freedom. It is with my utmost regard that you will partner and join hands with this ministry, as it is continuously looking for ways to rescue, provide food, bring hope, discipleship, and education to thousands of children and families who are in need around the globe.

For many years I have watched with gratitude and amazement as Global Bridges has faithfully walked out their calling to meet the desperate needs of children and families who are trapped in places where freedom is only a dream or a distant memory.
While we continue to pray that lost freedom will be restored, I urge you to join hands with Global Bridges as they keep finding ways to provide food, rescue, discipleship, and hope in the name of Jesus.
