Thank you for visiting our FMI (Family Missions International) fundraising page!

As we approach the end of the year 2009 Mitzu and I are considering linking up with the training and outreach organization 'University of the Nations'.   They offer many practical and exciting programs that could benefit FMI.  Our desire is to establish a training base that would equip nationals to go to every part of the Philippines and other nations.  In order to do this we need a pattern and a strategic structure that has been tested and tried.    'University of the Nations' would provide this training for Mitzu and I and teach us how to do this in the short period of 6 months.   They have campuses in various parts of the world.  We would try to select a location that has lower tuition fees.  Please pray with us to begin this training in the next 9 months.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support the fundraising efforts of FMI.

Many challenging things have happened this past year and the people here have been subject to extreme hardship through both natural and geographical calamities.  Click on the link above to see all the details!  We look forward to your help.

The FMI Mission Centers are located on the backside of the Island of Mindoro facing out to the South China Sea.  Our main Center is strategically located in the middle of 5 different villages and is being used for the village children and youth.  This second center is also the new home of our Mountain Tribal Ministry training.

We are in our eighth year of ministry to this part of the world and are excited about 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. 

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
