Susan & Al Goff
Al and Susan Goff give leadership to
GAiN International which is the
humanitarian aid ministry of Campus
Crusade for Christ, International. GAiN
expresses the love of Jesus Christ in the
toughest places on earth by relieving
suffering and restoring dignity.
GAiN does this by providing humanitarian projects to be a catalyst
for relationships between Christians and groups that are resistant to
Christian work due to tribal, political, social or religious issues.
GAiN provides psychosocial care, medical care, humanitarian
supplies, clean water and food.
In 2014 GAiN was able to work in 38 countries helping around 1.5
million people and exposing close to one million to the Gospel
through the combination of the Jesus Film, the humanitarian project
and our local staff and pastors sharing the Gospel.
Al and Susan and their two children, Matthew (14) and Joshua (12)
lived in Geneva and were members of the EBCG. Al served as a
deacon and an elder during their time in the church. Susan helped
lead the women’s ministry.
As staff of Campus Crusade for Christ, Al and Susan are supported
by people like you who want to help the Body of Christ grow
through compassion, evangelism and discipleship.
