About Us
Our mission is to teach, inspire, and encourage followers of Christ to serve God more effectively as Spirit-led leaders.
Our Vision
Better equipped, spiritually vitalized leaders serving Christ in strategic positions of influence throughout the world
The vision for Faith, Hope, and Love Global Ministries goes back to the seminary days (1980-1984) of its founders, Tim and Jill Geoffrion. At that time, God first put foreign mission work on their hearts, and Jill spent two summers in Africa as a short-term missionary (in Zaire, which is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in Malawi). During many years in the pastorate and teaching in colleges and seminaries in the United States, the sense of call to teach teachers and ministers abroad as well as home only grew for both Tim and Jill.
