Mission Update The focus of attention for FRMI was given a broader scope. While the work in Cubulco is not yet finished, there are no new initiatives being planned. Opportunities have been investigated in different parts of Africa and South America. In order to stay focused and consistent, a set of guidelines have been adopted which will help us deal with requests and applications from various different organizations that come to us for assistance. These guidelines were accepted by synod in the Foreign Mission Report. We have established contact in South Africa, Malawi and some initial contact in Peru. Please pray that God will give us wisdom in these new endeavors. See our website. http://www.frcmissions.org/
