The Word Of Life World Outreach Center uses creative means to reach the nations with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. One means is Global Church Fellowship International (formerly Global Church Fellowship). GCFI was founded by Bishop Gaspar Anastasi in 1996 to support local churches and church leaders, nationally and internationally. GCFI is under the covering of Word Of Life World Outreach Center. For more information about GCFI and how to join, please click on the link above or scroll down to the bottom of this page.

GCFI has sponsored mission trips to the Caribbean islands of Antigua, Anguilla and Trinidad and to our own backyard, the New York inner city. Recording artist Paul Wilbur accompanied us to Trinidad in 2001 and held nightly concerts in the city of San Fernando. We also went into elementary schools where hundreds of teachers and school children gave their hearts to the Lord and into hospitals where many sick were healed.

In the year 2000, God used GCFI to profoundly impact the island nation of Antigua. When we arrived, Bishop Anastasi led a team of intercessors, GCFI members, volunteers with a heart for missions and local pastors in covering the island with prayer. Perhaps the most key event was the substitutional repentance we did for past atrocities inflicted on African slaves on that ground. Afterwards, GCFI members preached the gospel in the soccer stadium of the capital city of St. John’s and also in the streets, leading an estimated 2,000 people in a prayer of salvation! GCFI worked with local churches to get new converts placed in a local body.

Word Of Life has planted more than a dozen churches from the Northeast United States to the Caribbean and to Africa who are also under the covering of Word Of Life World Outreach. For more information on our Word Of Life churches, visit the locations page.

Word Of Life World Outreach Center is governed by an Apostolic Council comprised of Bishop Gaspar Anastasi, Pastor Ray Tripi and Evangelist David Felts and by a Board of Trustees.
