Present Goals

• Continue to help existing ministers and churches do the work of the ministry they are called to do more effectively by supporting and encouraging outreach and growth.

• Continue to expand evangelism outreaches such as Christmas, VBS, mission teams and evangelism campaigns.

• Continue to put most evangelism efforts into communities needing their first protestant church.

• Continue to Enlarge El Shaddai ministry training course to include other regions for the purpose of equipping laborers with the Word and the Spirit, enabling them to reach, win, and disciple the yet unreached.

• Help to support and send out workers (our Bible School graduates, native pastors starting new churches, native evangelists and missionaries) who have the desire and calling to work for the Lord and will flow with FMI leadership and support the FMI Vision. We support growth and expansion, not merely maintenance.

• Obtain an airplane for the purpose of encouraging, helping, and maintaining communication with associate ministers and churches and for reaching churchless pueblos. Many towns have airstrips. For us that can turn 48 hours driving time into 4 hours flying time.

• Send missionary pilot Bob Scott through an airplane mechanics course so when he’s flying in remote areas he can take care of field maintenance and service.

• Develop ministry outreaches to other nations in addition to Mexico. (We currently support other ministries working in 6 nations.)

• Continue to pave the way for the Gospel into unreached communities through prayer/investigative journeys, followed by evangelism outreaches, resulting in the planting of churches.

• Establish a world mission training and sending school for English speaking people, stateside.

• Continue encouraging Petra foundational classes at FMC.

• Continue developing talents in performing arts that will touch the heartstrings of our Latin community.

• Update all ministry vehicles to newer models equipped for heavy duty off road use.

• Cumpas Mission Station - Patch and paint exterior house walls and fence, replace old furnishings, build additional guests rooms in the back lot.
