WILLS POINT, TX — A vision to launch “Christ-centered healthcare” and help bring transformation to communities across Africa is underway with the construction of a new state-of-the-art hospital, medical university and research center in Rwanda.

GFA World’s latest undertaking aims to equip African doctors, nurses, and researchers to lead a faith-centered healthcare movement in their own communities — a critical need in a continent where millions lack access to both medical care and the Gospel.

Epicenter for Healthcare Training Center in Africa Transforms Care

NEXT GENERATION OF AFRICA HEALTHCARE: GFA World (www.gfa.org) is helping to lay the foundation for a new state-of-the-art hospital, medical university and research center in Rwanda — with its sights set on establishing “Christ-centered healthcare and transforming communities” across the African continent. The hospital is projected to open its doors in June.

June will mark the launch of a landmark medical initiative in East Africa: a 300-bed specialist hospital and medical university designed to serve as a training hub for the entire continent. Watch here.

The aim of the project is to expand beyond Rwanda in the next decade, launching “community transformation projects across the African continent,” an area three times the size of the U.S.

“We’re already seeing community transformation in Rwanda, through the brothers and sisters ministering there now,” said GFA World president Bishop Daniel. “This hospital will be a catalyst for impact, bringing both much-needed medical care as well as the love of Christ to people in need of both.”

A Vision for Continental Transformation

The project includes building a network of local and international partnerships, training thousands of new African medical professionals and missionaries, with African nationals central to the future.

In the next decade, the organization aims to help train 10,000 local African missionaries, help serve 100,000 African communities with programs such as medical camps and clinics in remote areas, and help provide clean drinking water for millions of Africans through its “Jesus Wells” and other innovative water projects.

The organization’s vision began to take shape in 2019 when Rwandan church leaders extended an invitation to begin working in Rwanda, including establishing a hospital to serve the nation. GFA World founder K.P. Yohannan met the challenge, following God’s leading to serve communities across Africa through “Christ-centered healthcare”.

Launchpad for Medical Missions

The new medical hub in Rwanda will be the launchpad for community projects across Africa — creating a sustainable model for faith-based healthcare.

The facility will provide extensive specialist services including cardiology, neurology, and intensive care, and is projected to treat more than 500,000 patients with “world-class medical care” in the first two years.

In the future, the project will also include the construction of a medical university and campus on-site, along with an advanced medical research center that will focus on oncology, transplants, and other specialized sectors.

The hospital is modeled after an established hospital and training center in Asia that has been operating for more than a decade and helps about 2,000 outpatients every day.

“Together, we can lay the foundation for transformational, Christ-centered change across the continent,” Bishop Daniel said.
