We thank God for the prayers and sacrificial giving of His people that make the ministry of Faith Global Missions<\/a> possible. Sometimes people ask me what dividends are yielded from their investment in missions.<\/p>\n

I recently had the opportunity to serve in Democratic Republic of Congo for two weeks where we partnered with Seth and Darla Curtis<\/a> and the Congo Coalition<\/a> to provide theological training to pastors and church leaders shown above.<\/p>\n

\"English<\/p>\n

English clubs are \u00a0events that provide opportunities for English language learners to use English in a casual setting outside regular classes.

\"stefan-background_edited-1\"In Romania, Stefan\u2019s mom died of a heroin overdose when he was 2. Missionaries to Romania, David and Felicia Lee <\/a>took him into their home when they learned he was being used in pornographic films and was addicted to drugs. Helping Hurting Kids <\/a>is a wonderful ministry to street kids and orphans in Romania.<\/p>\n

We praise God for the sacrifices of people like the Curtis <\/a>and Lee <\/a>families.\u00a0 If you are trained as a social worker or to teach English as a foreign language, perhaps you would be interested in serving alongside them or other FGM missionaries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also thank God for the prayers and \u00a0sacrificial giving of people like you that make the ministry of FGM possible. If you would like to make a\u00a0financial contribution to help FGM <\/a>continue providing administrative support to ministries like these possible, go to our donations page <\/a>and select FGM Ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
