We are grateful for some firsts we have experienced in these 17 years of ministries with the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society.

Your prayers and gifts to the World Mission Offering allow International Ministries to address the economic needs of low-income individuals and families by creating sustainable businesses and employment opportunities in the countries where we serve.

Not too long ago, I had coffee with my friend, Nancy Duarte. I love to have coffee with friends on a Saturday morning, but this coffee was special, because we had it in Wheaton, IL.

Our late friend, Pastor Francisco Catrin, asked us to help a neighbor of his in Llongahue, Adolfo. When we walked into his bee-yard, it felt like stepping back into time.
