Partnerships

2005-2008 FVBA PARTNERSHIP WITH MEXICO
On February 2005, Fox Valley Baptist Association entered into a three-year partnership with Mexico and the work that Rev. Humberto Gonzalez is doing in some regions of the country. In summer 2005, a  missionary team worked on construction, Bible studies, and VBS. Rev. Gonzalez is frequently visiting the Purepecha region,  and Guadalajara confirming the churches and missions in these sites.

Mexico Missions Work Needs

  • Financial support for Field Missionaries Aurelio Garcia, Nathanael Garcia, Humberto Gonzalez, and another servant of God. A $1,200 monthly love offering is needed.
  • Prayer for the salvation of people in  the Purepecha region.
  • Pray for the volunteer medical doctors serving in the Purepecha region.

If you would like to support the work in Mexico, do not hesitate to contact the FVBA office at 847-697-4111.

Dr. Rusell Cook, Director of Missions
Janice Maynard, Office Manager
Dan Campbell, Partnership Coordinator

Fox Valley Baptist Association formalized a three-year partnership agreement with Pottawatomie-Lincoln Association in Oklahoma. The churches of Pottawatomie-Lincoln are eager to form partnerships with FVBA churches.

Oklahoma churches expressed a desire to come to Fox Valley on  mission trips. Opportunities for mission trips to Oklahoma churches also may be available for our churches. Begin making plans now for hosting a mission team this next summer! Your church may provide housing for mission teams in your members' homes, but this is certainly not a requirement.
