Each year, teams of high school students and adults travel nationally and internationally to support our global church partners by working together on construction, expansion, and renovation projects, while building relationships, engaging in kids’ ministry, and connecting with local communities.
dominican republic
Over two decades ago, a couple of Argentinian missionaries sensed the call of God to the Dominican Republic. Through their response and efforts the Accion Misionera Iglesia de Deos was launched, which gave birth to a host of local churches. It is our privilege to partner with five of those churches through financial and leadership support, construction projects, and support for children’s ministries as they help their local communities reach their God-given potential in:
La Romana (Benito and Yira Rodriquez), Palmares (Juan and Mariam Santos Lugo), Moises (Leonardo and Odete Ramirez), Jarabacoa (Frances and Carmen Mejia), Santiago (Ignacio and Florangel de la Cruz)

At 24 years old, Abner Rodriguez felt dismayed daily in Piedras Negras as he passed the abandoned church whose sign still read “Victory.” Painting over the sign out of frustration, he sensed God calling him to start something new in that old, abandoned church. In response, Abner started Nuevo Pacto (New Covenant), today a church of 2,000 people spread across 20 sites. It is our honor to partner with Abner through financial assistance, prayer support, leadership training, and ministry resources.
russia
In 1993, Mark and Chris Currie moved their young family to Moscow, Russia when they sensed the call of God to serve in the spiritual awakening that coincided with the fall of the former Soviet Union. In 1995, they planted New Hope Church where they have been helping those in their local community discover their God-given potential. It is our privilege to partner with Mark and Chris through financial support and leadership development.

WCA, International takes leadership development opportunities to countries all over the world through the Global Leadership Summit. Through WCA, International, FCF supports global leadership development by sponsoring the Global Leadership Summit in a city that wouldn’t otherwise be able to host it. It is our hope that this investment will impact one leader, one church, one community, and one country at a time for Christ.
In addition to our mission partners, we are also thankful to have had the opportunity to be a part of what God is doing in churches around the world through short-term mission projects.
We’ve appreciated the opportunity to partner with Pastor David Hansen to help with the construction of a church building and a Christ-centered school connected to the local church in Chiclayo. We are so thankful for all of the amazing relationships we’ve been able to build with the people of Chiclayo and the blessing these buildings will be for the people in this community.
In Iquitos, we had the opportunity to partner with long time missionaries, Steve and Theresa Ford, to help rebuild a local church building devastated by flood. Not only did we have the opportunity to build a place for the church in Iquitos to meet, but we were blessed to build lasting relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Peru.
We are thankful for our friends in Yurimaguas for their hospitality and devotion to the mission God has given them. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the local church in Yurimaguas to construct a new church building. It was a privilege to work alongside them and see the way that God is using them to move people all around them toward their potential.
