FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 7, 2009 (Concord, Virginia) – All over the globe, there are desperate cries for help. Right now, there are millions of people suffering in poverty, hunger, sickness and natural disasters. That’s why Gleaning For The World (GFTW) was founded more than one decade ago… to care for the sick, clothe the naked and feed the hungry. GFTW wants to continue this effort with full-force for years to come. And GFTW needs help to make that possible.
That’s why Gleaning For The World is proud to announce a merger with Thomas Road Baptist Church (TRBC) and Pastor Jonathan Falwell in Lynchburg, Virginia. For 53 years, TRBC has had a tremendous impact around the globe. TRBC can provide a tremendous resource to GFTW… people. Through this transition, GFTW can locate more life-saving supplies in the U.S. and overseas that can support more humanitarian organizations working in the field in an efficient manner. In addition, the merger will bring more financial stability during this economic downturn. And this means more lives will be changed and saved.
Pastor Falwell said he was impressed with how Rev. Ron Davidson, GFTW president and chief operating officer, stepped down as pastor of a 1,200-member church in order to start the organization from scratch. Pastor Falwell added, “Ron has led GFTW to be recognized for the second consecutive year by Forbes.com as the nation’s top charity in terms of both fundraising efficiency and charitable commitment. I am excited about the opportunity for our church to get involved in providing assistance to many hurting people as well as having new opportunities for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them.”
Rev. Ron Davidson, GFTW President and COO, is honored to be a part of the new direction for the ministry he founded.
Rev. Davidson stated, “I approached Jonathan Falwell last November about the potential of joining the two ministries together. It just made sense to me that two organizations who share a common goal could be more effective in meeting the humanitarian crises, if we worked together. TRBC has the same integrity and Christian witness we have tried to build at Gleaning. They also have the desire to reach the poor and care for people who are hurting and need help just to survive. Together, we can expand our outreach and touch the lives of more people.”
Pastor Falwell says he envisions “big growth” at GFTW for years to come.
