Bishop Daniel Bio
Bishop Daniel Timotheos Yohannan is a global Christian leader who serves as president of GFA World and is a consecrated bishop of Believers Eastern Church. In his role as President of GFA World USA, Bishop Daniel serves as the primary link between thousands of Christian workers and missionaries serving throughout Africa and Asia and the rest of the church worldwide.
Founder
Dr. K.P. Yohannan Bio
K.P. Yohannan has been crisscrossing the globe over 40 years, challenging the Body of Christ to pick up their cross and follow Him. His call to a radical lifestyle—with an all-out commitment to Jesus—has left its impact on nearly every continent. Yohannan’s life message is a fresh word to this generation and yet as timeless as the scriptural mandate itself.
“Gospel for Asia is not a movement but a phenomenon. GFA has become one of the most significant mission organizations of this century.
“I praise God for the great love and commitment of K.P. and Gisela Yohannan for the people of Asia. Millions have received the Word of God because of them and the ministry of Gospel for Asia.”
—George Verwer, founder of Operation Mobilization and world missions advocate
“K.P. has been a mentor to me for years. The way that he speaks to God and about Him is different from anyone else I know. His words and actions have led to me loving Jesus more consistently and deeply. He is the first to admit shortcomings in his life, but he continues to be an example to me. For this, I am eternally grateful.”
—Francis Chan, pastor and author of “Crazy Love”
“For half my life I have known and worked closely with Dr. K.P. Yohannan … that’s over four decades.
“From its early days up until the present I have witnessed firsthand the incredible growth of the Believers Eastern Church throughout Asia. It is an amazing testimony to the life-changing power of the Gospel and also to K.P.’s remarkable leadership skills.
“I have seen his understanding of the Christian faith expand in ever so many positive ways. More recently, I have watched him respond humbly to the criticisms of those who for whatever reasons have attacked him.
“His preaching still stirs my soul.
“I believe 100% in his integrity and am honored to serve as one of GFA’s Board of Directors.”
—Dr. David R. Mains, Chapel of the Air radio broadcaster and founder of the 50-Day Spiritual Adventure
