Serving Together

Our world today is in constant stages of mega-shifts. Many of these we would call epic, or at least would be referred to as foundational shifts that affect families, and large groups of people, on social and a geographic scale. These shifts are caused via wars, economics, political upheavals, weather phenomena, earthquakes, and the like. Every single shift also affects a person, an individual, a life, a human. Frontier Partners International – FPI was founded on and continues in relationships of those living in countries experiences these mega-shifts.

Importance of who we are and what we do can be measured both within the countries affected by these shifts, as well as our response to them. FPI and its leadership, has always been sensitive and responsive, quickly, to these patterns and singular shifts of need in each country. Because we have associates and close relationships in each country we serve; we can adjust our response accordingly.

Syria was severely affected last year with an earthquake. FPI, due to its integral relationships with those in Lebanon, who have the ability to gather teams for such needs, was able to help, getting into Syria from Lebanon immediately with medical supplies, tents, blankets, and expertise. Longer-term needs for things like wheelchairs, walkers, and cans, are also provided via other relationships FPI has, such as Joni and Friends.

Lebanon itself, is a country affected by both long-term issues such as the refugees there from Syria, as well as recent events such as the military conflict on its border with Israel. FPI, again, has been able to flex, and adjust to these types of needs as we provide medical equipment for short-term emergencies, as well as sustainable develop needs met in how our associates train and teach both the adults and their children. I am grateful to be a part of such a flexible and potent ministry in FPI.

Please feel free to contact me or Mike Parks for additional input on our work throughout the Middle East, Nepal, and other countries.
