OUR TESTIMONIALS

How God Is Working Through Our Supporters

Pastor Gabby
"Through the testimony of your good work, it has greatly helped soften and prepare the hearts of the people towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Because these good deeds have shown the love and compassion of God, as a result people have come to know that God loves and cares for them. This causes them to praise God just like it says in Matthew 5:16"
Pastor Gabby
Village Pastor
Cory
"I came to do the work and see wells get drilled. But when people actually came to Christ, I guess I wasn’t thinking that deeply. I thought ‘Just come and work.’ But God took it a whole big step further. It was amazing!"
Cory
Work Team Volunteer
Andy
"It was great to be able to share my trade skills. Our work was certainly necessary to prepare a base of operations for all the work to be done on the island. It will be a great facility for future work teams and a training campus for the Christian natives and pastors to further their understanding of spreading God’s Word."

"It’s so important to provide opportunities for local pastors and missionaries to ‘fill their own cups’ too! The training and conferences available through a facility such as this will be instrumental in assisting their service to the people."

“A mission trip is not a reward for being a mature Christian. It is a hands-on boot-camp learning lab for your own discipleship and growth, a real testing of your faith. Want to learn dependence on God ? Go to a place where you can’t google answers, run to the store, or send for an amazon delivery. He will show you His provision and protection first-hand! ”

“Our mission statement boils down to two things: changing the world and changing us. Working with FIA, we have the opportunity to do good projects in various places around the globe. This changes our interface with our learning and the application of what we are learning. At the same time, it changes our hearts. We see in bigger ways what God is doing in various places around the world.”
