FoursquareMissions.org

Greetings in Jesus' name! It's my privilege to present the annual report for Foursquare Missions International. Since 1927 we've been apostolically working to open nations with the Gospel and establish reproducing church planting movements. Today, we celebrate our incredible past, reimagine our shared future, and re-engage pastors to reach the world for Christ – together with you and a growing global family.

This report represents the scope of that partnership, and we hope you are encouraged and inspired by wonderful breakthroughs and growth throughout the nations.

FMI area missionaries serve regionally throughout the world. They minister globally, oversee field personnel, interface with national leaders and workers, and are pivotal leaders in this global partnership. They are supported by the "Global Missions Fund" and they are pivotal to allocating these catalytic resources towards the unreached through partnership with you and our global Foursquare family. The Global Missions Fund is dependent on Foursquare churches’ generosity, and it supports workers and ministry among some of the least reached places.

While you'll see that The Foursquare Church has been growing, many churches and believers are not mentioned in this report as they are in restricted areas. With them in count, we are now over 100,000 churches and meetings places in 150 nations.

Thank you for your partnership in mission as we Pray for breakthrough, Give generously, and Go courageously--together. It is our sincere hope to deepen our collective engagement in 2017.

On Mission with You!

Ted Vail, Vice President of Global Operations Foursquare Missions Director

AREA MISSIONARY UPDATES Since 1927, the Global Mission Fund has enabled FMI to send the highest caliber missionaries to the field, and mobilize leaders and churches to focus on developing church planting movements among unreached and under-reached cities, nations, and people groups. This handful of key leaders is responsible for facilitating a movement that has resulted in a growing network of some 100,000 churches, many not included in our official reports due to security concerns, in over 145 nations. Today, there are unprecedented opportunities to reach people with the Good News of Jesus Christ through your partnership and investment in the FMI Global Mission Fund.

Global Mission Fund Objectives FUND Funding catalytic leaders who open new nations, including unreached and under reached people groups EQUIP Help prepare and train global leaders and church funded missionaries for the expansion. CULTIVATE Cultivate church planting movements among new nations and people groups in partnership with national churches of God’s Kingdom. COACH Serve the nations by coaching national leaders through the four development stages through the Foursquare Church. CARE Provide field-care for U.S. & non-U.S. Foursquare missionaries. NETWORK Partner and network with the Global Foursquare Church and national leaders. FACILITATE Facilitate channels for missionary service. In keeping with the seven objectives of the Global Mission Fund, our area missionaries provide the following reports and key areas of prayer for the regions with which they partner. Each report includes highlights relevant to one or two objectives that are pertinent to each region during the previous year.

FMI GLOBAL FUND

GLOBAL MINISTRIES

Jim Scott, [email protected] FMI Associate Director

Download the detailed diagram at foursquaremissions.org/four-stage-model.

Work with Global Council Jim, working with Ted Vail, provides leadership for and coaching and mentoring of national leaders as well as being available and assisting as the Global Council grows in their vision and their engagement in the mission of the global Foursquare Church. Jim serves as the Chair of the “Opening New Nations” sub-committee of the Global Council and undertakes other assignments on behalf of the Global Council, as requested.

Area Missionaries Jim Scott serves as the Area Missionary for North America (Canada, the United States, and Mexico). In addition, he supports and provides leadership for the Area Missionaries as they all serve their regions and coach individual nations using the strategy of the Four Stages of National Church Development.

The Area Missionaries also facilitate the placement of FMI missionaries in partnership with FMI and the Missions Committee, provide pastoral covering, oversight and care for FMI missionary personnel, network U.S. churches and districts with strategic opportunities on the field, identify and network strategic intra-national and inter-agency alliances towards mission, steward ICFG global resources (e.g. finances, properties, relationships), develop, coach and network national churches and regional councils and respond to emergencies and crisis situations on behalf of FMI and the U.S. Foursquare Church.

Missionary Care The FMI team, The Area Missionaries and the Missions Committee are envisioning a more inclusive and comprehensive member care ministry. It begins with a culture of care that has an expectation that prayer, care and resourcing belongs to all who are part of a missionary’s life and we all have a role to play in caring for them. This culture invites circles of care that are being developed beginning with the missionary application process through the missionary’s return and then as an alumni/ae FMI missionary.


24

Missionary Alumni/ae The Foursquare Church has an underappreciated and under-utilized treasure in our former FMI missionaries! As one part of a renewed member care ministry, we are exploring how FMI, the National Church, Life Pacific College, LPC-IGNITE, our Districts and our local churches might be resourced by this team of experienced missionaries.

Global Church Partnerships We are depending upon the Holy Spirit to provide opportunities to bring leaders and nations together to develop strategic initiatives that invite their best contributions. We believe that together we can develop pathways for fruitful partnership, discover and remove the obstacles that inhibit or prohibit the expansion of the Kingdom of God, capitalize on kairos moments, engage challenges and celebrate the opening of new nations and people groups. Central to these efforts are discipleship, education, training, coaching and leadership development.

International Disaster Relief Foursquare Disaster Relief (FDR) is one expression of our mission as we bring compassion ministry and resources to situations of great need. FDR International serves those affected by natural disasters, famine, disease or war by partnering with local churches for the provision of spiritual care and meeting physical needs. Sharing the gospel through proclamation and demonstration—acts of power through the Holy Spirit and acts of compassion—are at the heart of this ministry. 2016 International FDR Response International Responses: 29 Partner Donations: $292,928 Relief to the field: $365,357 Gifts in Kind: $340,000 Grants: $68,600

• Business as Mission (BAM) is a developing Global Church partnership that is finding creative ways to bring the Gospel through people who may not be classically trained ministers or funded missionaries. It provides a way for business professionals to take the gospel to influential people within a country. And as the doors to traditional missions may be closing in some ways, we’re seeing God use BAM to open doors in new areas for all kinds of people and vocations.

• As FMI Director Ted Vail wrote: “You are limited. No one person is the apostle of everything. No one person is going to reach the world alone. God has designed us as people, but also as churches, to be limited and to need one another. If we’re going to reach the world, if we’re going to reach your neighborhood, it’s going to come with partnership.” Indeed, this partnership is local, regional, national and international.


25

The FMI Mobilization Team exists to help mobilize the U.S. Church for mission within the U.S. and around the world towards helping complete the Great Commission.

• Members/leaders of Foursquare churches apply, train, and deploy as long term missionaries. • Coordination, networking, resources, and insurance for U.S. churches and institutions that participate in short term missions. • A team of district mission representatives (DMRs) functions to represent FMI to the district and the district to FMI to help

network and facilitate mission activities on a district level.

LONG TERM DEPLOYMENT • FMI has 16 missionary applicants preparing paperwork and planning to attend Orientation. • FMI has 23 missionary applicants who have completed the orientation training (Level 1) and are now working on

their field budgets, ministry proposals and awaiting a formal letter of invitation from the host nation. • FMI has 10 missionary units with board approval who are currently raising funds prior to deploying. • FMI has an additional 110 people who have inquired and are considering the missionary application process. • FMI is working with district mission representatives and 45 future potential missionaries in their districts.

APPRENTICES In partnership with Life Pacific College and Dr. Karen Tremper, we have two FMI apprentices on the field, another from LPC-Ignite in the application process, and additional prospects. DEPLOYMENT TRAINING Frank and Kathleen Greer oversee the Pre-Deployment Training events for Foursquare Missions International. Orientation - 5 Days, July 10-14, 2017; January 8-12, 2018

COACHES REPORT Coaches Purpose statement: To assist missionaries with support raising and “ministry partner development” throughout the deployment process and to sustain funding while on assignment.

• The coach helps missionary candidates have success in connecting with ministry partners. • The coach helps missionaries meet support raising goals in a timely and effective manner so they can fulfill God’s call. • “Ministry partner” – a person who partners long-term with the missionary through prayer and financial support. • The coach helps the missionary stay accountable to his/her goals.

Support raising is one of the most difficult responsibilities that missionaries face. We need to develop and train coaches that will assist and encourage our missionaries. We believe that having a good coach is one of the most important aspects of reaching the nations with the gospel! When a missionary is raising support, the coach and missionary speak weekly via a phone call for about 30 minutes and the coach reviews the missionary’s weekly report.

• FMI has 19 coaches who have been retrained. • FMI currently has 10-15 coaches who will be trained to coach missionaries in ministry partner development. • The “Strategy Team” continues to meet and develop our coaching strategy. • Two of the most common problems deployed missionaries encounter are “lack of financial support” and

“loneliness.” We are asking our coaches to contact the missionary at least quarterly while on the field.

District Mission Representatives (DMR) DMR transitions in the past year have been consistent with district supervisor transitions. Yasseer Handall was appointed to the new Hispanic District by Juan Vallejo and Richard Casteel became the DMR for the newly merged Pacific Southwest District under Fernando Castillo. DMRs met in Hawaii prior to convention for training in best practices and security, and met with area missionaries. All the DMRs have conducted self-evaluation and have been evaluated by district supervisors. Paul Greer, Kaj Martin and George Cline are following up on those evaluations and developing a working plan for each DMR in 2017.

Short Term Missions FMI defines a short-term mission as any trip up to 12 months long. This includes teams as well as individual ministry assignments. In 2016 228 Teams 1977 Team Members Three deployed 1-12 month interns In 2017 Insurance to be changed to provide better service to our churches

DONOR CARE TEAM

The FMI Donor Care Team is both caring for existing donors and cultivating new ones, and is primarily responsible for the Global Mission Fund, as well as Foursquare Disaster Relief donors. A renewed commitment to global mission revealed a need for renewed emphasis on the Global Mission Fund.

Global Mission Fund Summary Since 1927, the Global Mission Fund (GMF) has enabled FMI to send the highest caliber missionaries to the field, and mobilize leaders and churches to focus on developing church planting movements among unreached and under-reached cities, nations, and people. This handful of key leaders is responsible for facilitating a movement that has resulted in a growing network of some 100,000 churches, many not included in our official reports due to security concerns, in over 145 nations and territories. 100% of giving goes to urgently planting the gospel and making disciples in some of the hardest to reach people in some of the most challenging places.

Opportunity Beginning 2017, we will re-clarify, re-communicate, and re-connect Foursquare churches to our shared global mission. A robust GMF will help to complete the Great Commission. The harvest is indeed plentiful, especially among unreached people, and we must pray, give, and go. Together.
