Pastors Planning Meeting at our New Barahan Center
The
FMI Mission Centers are located on the backside of the Island of Mindoro facing
out to the South China Sea. Our main Mission Center is in the fishing
village of Barahan at the junction of a river flowing into the sea. We are
thrilled to have added two new Mission Stations this past year! One was in
the village across the river (Dayap) directly across from a local school and the
second center strategically located in the middle of 5 different villages.
Just in the last few months we have been requested by village schools to minister to more than 2000 students now. This has required us to add new staff workers to bring in the abundant harvest and believe for all the school-supplies needed for our annual mission.
We are in our sixth year of ministry to this part of the world and are excitedabout the wonderful things God is doing. Our numbers have expanded rapidly and this year we are concentrating on raising up teachers and leaders to help with the multiplying number of groups.
In the Philippines poverty and economic stress have doused the fire of the Holy Spirit in many places, and growth has become stagnant in the churches, sending the faith community to its knees. Recent studies show that up to 75 percent of Filipinos consider themselves poor. About 40 percent of the population live on less than $2 a day, and high unemployment rates have forced more than 7 million Filipinos to work in other countries.
As you visit this site you will get a better understanding of what Family Missions is all about.
Our desire is that you will be motivated to join with us and become part of a noble purpose on the other side of the earth.
We are an organization that runs SOLELY through the generosity of people just like you.
as a Partner or as an interested individual !!!
