Mission
Far Reaching Ministries (FRM) was founded to carry the Gospel Jesus Christ to the world with discipleship as our primary objective. We plant and edify evangelical churches, found Bible schools, gather intimate small groups, and sustain missionaries. We give highest priority to the vulnerable, war-torn, and persecuted communities - seeking to comfort and revive the afflicted. FRM initiates new programs by bringing aid to meet physical needs, which opens hearts, and enables us to fulfill spiritual needs. We train and equip missionaries and pastors in over 30 different nations. Each front-line worker has surrendered wholeheartedly to follow Jesus and brings unique, God-given spiritual gifts to ensure an abundant harvest. Every believer is called to be an Ambassador for Jesus Christ, to build His eternal kingdom by investing in others, and to love supremely just as Jesus did! As we all accept His calling and begin to share His love, can reach even the uttermost ends of this earth!2 Peter 1
