GFS is a worldwide organisation within the Anglican Communion.
We provide ministries in a safe and accepting environment where Christ’s love is evident and the Gospel is proclaimed.
Initially formed for women and girls, today there is a growing male membership in some countries.
GFS World offers programs for evangelism, support, empowerment, education and encouragement, sometimes in partnership with both secular and sacred organisations.
GFS is currently found in over 30 countries around the world, from Great Britain to Australia, South Korea to the USA, Cameroon to South Africa and many more.
The GFS World is governed by a set of guidelines with each GFS country operating under their own constitution/rules but adhering to the basic purpose of bringing people to Christ and service to others through the various programs offered.
The world body meets every three years in the country of the World President, where delegates from each GFS country (and observers) meet together to review and share their work.
Membership in some countries is now open to males as well as females. In many countries there is a strong link with Mothers Union and other organisations within the Anglican Communion.
USA is where the next World Council is due to meet in 2029. To keep up with all the GFS World News please visit the GFS World website: www.gfsworld.org
World Projects
A World Project/s is chosen at the World Council Meeting for the coming three years, concentrating on growing and strengthening GFS in developing countries, with particular emphasis on programs for young women and children.
The current World Project (2026-2029) is in Lesotho. For more information see: www.gfsworld.org/world-projects.
World Day of Prayer
The GFS World Day of Prayer is held on 29 September each year, known as St Michael and All Angels Day.
Each year the Service of Prayer is written by a different GFS country and celebrated by GFS members all over the world, truly uniting our organisation globally as we pray and worship together.
