Since 2010...

While it has been 14 years since GWFC was incorporated as an earthly entity, its true gestation commenced spiritually when Mark Chapple and Peter Adcock started meeting together 10 years earlier, around the year 2000. One morning each week, they focused their prayers on what the Lord would have them do to serve the Kingdom of God in Western Sydney. (Exert from GWFC Pioneers, 2010.)
