Dr. Mary Wilder, Professor of History of Missions at Western Seminary, said of the Filipinos, “…100 years ago, the Filipinos were a mission field.  Now, they are moving out to take their place in missions, reaching around the world in very creative ways!”  What a statement full of celebration and hope!

Since its organization in 1995, FIN has brought together Christians committed to motivating and mobilizing Filipinos globally to partner for worldwide mission.  In 2008, FIN partnered with the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (LCWE) to motivate and mobilize not only Christian Filipinos, but the whole Church, to take the whole Gospel to the whole world.  This issue of The FIN News explores the diasporas ministry of the LCWE. 

As you celebrate Spring and the Lent Season 2009, pray with FIN that more people -- of every nation -- from the “mission field” will move out and take their place in missions.
