We have a new CEO!

Ryan Edwards has joined us on a permanent basis, and we are excited to have him on our team.

Joining us in the summer of 2022, Ryan will be taking the lead on our organisation’s operations, mobilisation, strategy, and volunteer recruitment.

Get to know Ryan:

My name's Ryan and I was saved in the Winter of 2016. Until the day I die I long to become more like Jesus, through His Holy Spirit, to bring glory to my Heavenly Father. I've prayed for over 5 years to be able to commit my working life to God in a role that specifically involves fulfilling Jesus' great commission to His Church (Matthew 28:16-20) and God answered by opening the door to a CEO role at GSA. If it ever feels like things take long it's vital to remember that God's timing is perfect down to the nanosecond. I also have the honour of serving Emmanuel (Founder & Chair of Trustees at GSA) as his assistant in his entrepreneurial work with fundraising and supporting Christian missions. I'm always captured by Jesus' love & humility towards others and try my best to live according to His example. Before I'm a leader, I'm a servant. And

while I'm a leader, I'm still a servant.

From our CEO:

The Gospel is important to me because God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). In a world where there's so much pain, wrath & sadness, there's peace, hope & security in Jesus. At GSA our work is a demonstration of Jesus' love in action by supporting change for better education, employment opportunities, teaching & preaching the Word and supporting churches to disciple one another. I want to work with GSA to be a part of this outworking of Christ's love to the nations and I expect the church to be built up, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit so it multiplies (Acts 9:31).
