MALAWI

Malawi has been a major focus for FMI in recent years.  David traveled there to conduct leadership training for 200 church leaders in 2017, and God opened some amazing doors!  Since then we have seen:

  • 200 churches planted
  • 3 water wells drilled
  • 4 chicken coops built
  • Farming God’s Way implemented
  • 5 Bible schools founded
  • Over 1,000 children fed daily for over 1 year while working to help them be sustainable

We are partnering with six villages and still need to drill three more water wells and build two more chicken coops.  Then we hope to return and strengthen the Bible schools they have started.

 

 


 

 

DiLi Foundation – INDIA

FMI is involved in giving wider visibility to DiLi Foundation. Their project is to cultivate an integral solution to families and communities by offering education, medical assistance, tools, and training to help them break the cycle of poverty.

More than anything, they give them hope.

 


 

 

LESOTHO & SOUTH AFRICA

David led a team to South Africa and Lesotho in 2018 where we partnered with Touch Me Lord Ministries.  We surveyed the work they were doing and have partnered in:

  • Feeding hundreds of children (many orphans) multiple times a week
  • 1 mission trip conducted to visit the feeding centers
  • 1 house bought to give a base of operations and allow for sustainable income from renting out rooms
  • Prime Minister of Lesotho has reached out to thank us and request further partnership

In an effort to help them become self-sustaining, we bought them a house in Wepener that they are using to rent out the rooms and generate income for the ministry.  We are continuing to partner with them, especially as we dream about a vision for Lesotho for 2030, as the Prime Minister reached out to us to thank us for our work there and ask us to do more in the north of the country (our work has mostly been in the south).

 


 

MYANMAR (formerly Burma)

Myanmar has been a major focus for FMI over the years with a ton of activity, including:

  • 5 Annual Pastor Training events with national Baptist convention
  • 3 Trips by David to conduct additional training and Bible teaching events across the nation (2 with Pum Za, our national partner)
  • Trip by Pum Za to minister in Myanmar and in Burmese refugee camps in Thailand
  • Built a hydroelectric generator
  • Built a teacher residency
  • Built a town hall
  • Equipment and supplies provided to a medical clinic
  • David and Pum Za have ministered to Burmese in Malaysia
  • David has ministered to Burmese in Thailand
  • 2 trips to Romania by Pum Za to minister to Burmese refugees there
  • Money has been donated and earmarked for David and Pum Za to make another visit in the near future
