HOPE FOR THE WORLD
Thank You for an Evening of Great Fellowship & Celebration!
The 2025 GSM Gala has now concluded, and we give thanks to God for a beautiful night of fellowship, testimony, and generosity. To every attendee, volunteer, sponsor, prayer partner, staff member, and “Samaritan at Large,” you helped make the evening extraordinarily meaningful and impactful. New relationships were kindled, and longtime Samaritans were reconnected in new and refreshing ways.
Whether you are brand-new to the Samaritan family or have walked with GSM for decades, we are grateful for the important part you play in this global ministry. Your presence, your story, and your faithfulness strengthen the foundation of "Teaching Nothing But The Kingdom Of God."

EVENING HIGHLIGHTS
We had many joy-filled moments throughout the evening.
We celebrated and welcomed our new International Executive Director, Michael Niemczak, whose message reminded us that hope is not passive—it is a calling. As GSM prepares to enter its Jubilee Year, celebrating 50 years of faithful ministry, his charge set the tone for a year of renewal, unity, and thanksgiving.
We also welcomed back Cindy Womack, our International Training Director, who served as the evening’s MC with characteristic warmth, joy, and spiritual insight.
In addition, our beloved sister and decades-long Samaritan, Laura Fribbs, Satellite Leader of International Education, delivered this year’s keynote message. Her heartfelt stories of transformation—children learning, families restored, communities strengthened, and hope rising through education—deeply moved us. Through her testimony, we witnessed the power of Christ at work around the world and were invited to respond with prayer, action, and generosity.
