International Partners
Brian & Debbie McIntyre
Serving in Ghana, West Africa
Fellowship International Mission & West African Mercy Ministries
|
 |
Brian & Debbie McIntyre, along with Tommy, Derek, and Jessi, returned to Ghana in June 2010 after their 7 month furlough. They completed their first two years as missionaries with Fellowship International Mission in Accra, Ghana, West Africa. Their plans are to continue developing their ministry to orphans. Brian is serving as the Field Director of FIM-Ghana, which has adopted a three-pronged focus for ministry: orphan care, medical care, and church planting.

The McIntyre’s left Wisconsin 3 years ago to work in West Africa with Fellowship International Mission. They founded West African Mercy Ministries (WAMM), a ministry whose core goals are: orphan care, church planting, medical ministry and youth ministry. This was founded in response to the enormity of the orphan crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. The UNAIDS report from 2008 shows that there were over 200,000 orphans in Ghana alone, and that figure continues to climb. The Bible is very clear that God has a heart for orphans. Psalm 68:5 states, "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation." If this is the kind of heart God has, sub-Saharan Africa (of which West Africa is a part) must be an area of the world for which he has great concern. And that is great news because it gives us confidence that as we pursue mercy ministry with orphans in mind, we are working in concert with the God we desire to serve.

Mariano and Fanny are from Argentina and they have been serving in Madrid, Spain since 2001. They work with Agape (the Western European division of Campus Crusade for Christ). God has given them a heart for youth. In Madrid, they are helping to build spiritual movements among the youth through discipleship, evangelism and leadership development, connecting with teenagers and their families and trying to find relevant ways to share the Good News of Jesus to a generation that "listens with their eyes and thinks with their hearts".
