15 OFW Family Days all over the country

An OFW Family Day serves as a bridge event for the OFWs in a community to learn about the efforts of a nearby church to reach out to them. We strive to help partner churches all over the country to reach out to OFWs in their community.

We recognize that Hong Kong plays a pivotal role in the OFW industry. GFM has partnered with Filipino pastors in Hong Kong that reach out to OFWs arriving in the airport everyday. They share the Gospel, pray for them, give them food, a FREE sim card and invite them to church!

9 New Institutional Partners

As GFM strives to make our programs and services better for our stakeholders, we’ve partnered with institutions that have the same mind of ministering to OFWs. Praise God!

Helpdesk Success Story

Most of the time, stressful OFW problems affect people like the couple on the right – normal Filipinos who lead normal lives. This couple lost their son in a car accident on the hot roads of Saudi Arabia. They couldn’t get his body back even though they’ve already sought help from so many people and institutions.

They heard wind that GFM helps OFWs through their local pastor. They’ve been waiting for five months, but within two weeks, they already held the body of their son. He was not coming back to life, but at least, he came back home.

Bagong Bayani Ka Daw?

Many OFWs that have been abroad for years still don’t know about laws and benefits that they are entitled to. That why GFM takes it to their shoulders to share information dissemination to OFWs and OFW families.

BBKD stands for batas, benepisyo, karapatan and depensa. It is a three-hour seminar that shares the laws and rights to OFWs. It covers the RA 10022, PD 8042, OWWA programs and services, POEA programs and services, among other topics covered. Most OFWs and surprised after hearing that there are many things they have not yet availed of. If you want to schedule one for your community, check out the EVENTS panel.
