Jericho March 2016: Life is Beautiful
Posted by Lindsey Romero /
Our Blog, Philippines - Malaybalay
A couple of years ago we caught the notion that praying, singing, and walking in circles around a village could make walls of sin and oppression come crashing down. That a miracle from the Old Testament could happen in modern-day Isla Bonita; that prayer and faith could free men and their families from the evils of alcohol addiction. (Read about…

Sometimes the Lord Works Fast!

Mexico - General Cepeda, Our Blog
We are walking through the streets of our new home in General Cepeda, Mexico and feeling the Lord calling us to minister to the young men here. This is a need because in general, there are a lot of single mother households and not a strong presence of Christlike fatherhood, so boys start working as early as possible and don't...

A New Roof for a VERY Poor Family
Posted by FMC Missionary /
Our Blog, Peru Mission
Currently, it is the "rainy season". We were aware of this thing called "the rainy season" before we arrived, but didn't really know what that meant. Now, we know. It rains every day. Sometimes for only an hour, other times all day. In addition, it rains really hard almost every night. A couple weeks ago we experienced a severe storm...

The Lent Project
Posted by FMC Missionary /
Our Blog

Of course the discussion of this question is complicated by the fact that it's easy to get caught up in either spiritual pride, or comparison, or hopelessness. “You're giving up sweets? Commonplace. I'M praying...

Maayong buntag! Good morning! I have officially been in the Philippines for a week now! After four planes, countless time zone changes, and a trip over the International Dateline, my mission partner (Cassie) and I set foot on Camiguin Island. It is incredibly beautiful here. The water ranges from a deep blue to a light green, with all shades in...

Our Blog, Philippines - Camiguin
We were only too happy to bring Rex and his family a Christmas care package! Rex is a phenomenal young man who we are sponsoring in college and whose life has been dramatically changed this year by Jesus Christ. On a recent afternoon, Rex dropped by our cottage. As we chatted on the porch steps, he pointed out a group...

“Go in Peace; Keep Warm and Well Fed . . .”

Our Blog, Philippines - Malaybalay
I was visiting a friend, Jessfe, and her child, Jihoo, at a government run hospital here in Malaybalay because she had texted me that they needed food. The medical system here is very different from in the US. If you go to the hospital here you have to bring all of your own things: sheets, pillow, blankets, plus there needs…

Humility, We Need You

Costa Rica, Our Blog, Philippines - Malaybalay
Since arriving here in Costa Rica we have attempted to learn how to live like those around us. As FMC missionaries we are called to live in solidarity with the poor. This started two years ago when we sold many of our things, or gave them away, as we prepared to leave our home, families and friends to move to...
