Program areas at FRM

Ghost Operations: Ghost Operations was designed to meet the unique challenges and dangers associated with bringing the gospel into countries closed to religious teaching, to war torn nations, areas dominated by human traffickers or cartels and places where persecution for believers is known to be extreme. We sponsor hundreds of missionaries, pastors, and evangelists through two organizations established to train and equip servants in these areas. We raise and send funds to meet the monthly needs of these believers and we provide ongoing humanitarian relief. We currently have programs in Ukraine, Myanmar, Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Egypt and others. We endeavor to safeguard the identity of all our partners because the threat of persecution and even death is very real. We also rescued over 2,000 people when Afghanistan collapsed.
Christ for a continent: Far Reaching Ministries founded a Chaplaincy Corps in 1998 and began spreading the Hope of Jesus Christ to the war torn country of Sudan. In 2011, South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan and we continued our strengthening of the chaplaincy corps. We also purchased an airplane that services multiple countries in East Africa in partnership with Mission Aviation Fellowship and Far Reaching Ministries Aviation. Our chaplains began planting churches all over South Sudan and to date we have built over 25 new church structures. In addition, we plant churches in Uganda, Kenya, Congo, our vision is to equip national pastors and chaplains to reach the entire continent for Jesus Christ.
Children of War: This programs provides aid, education, medical support and spiritual instruction to vulnerable children. We operate projects for victims rescued from sex traffickers, support for abandoned or orphaned children and we intervene with poor children in imminent danger. We currently have projects in Africa and South America and we provide emergency services in Eastern Europe and Asia for victims of war.
