FAMILY MISSIONS COMPANY

Family Missions Company is committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor and unevangelized around the world, while lighting a fire for evangelization and service in the hearts of the catechized and privileged. We aim to educate them about their inherent dignity as children of God and the hope they're entitled to in the Resurrection, while also honoring that dignity through material assistance.

Our missionaries live in solidarity with the poor they serve, and each team respects the unique needs and culture of the people at their post. Our missionaries form real friendships with the poor and marginalized, instructing them by both word and example what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Programs include bible studies, home visits, housing projects, medical assistance, educational services, chapel building projects, prison ministry, retreat ministry, catechesis and sacrament preparation, and evangelization training.

FMC also sends short-term missionaries on week- and month-long trips to our mission posts. Those who go out in service to the poor in other countries return with eyes and hearts open to the needs of the less fortunate and often spearhead charitable projects in their home communities.

Our stateside programs include retreat ministry, youth summer camps, evangelism conferences, as well as home visits, bible studies, domestic mission trips, and speaking engagements.

We have over 200 missionaries serving in the foreign mission field and more than 20 staff members serving at our mission base in the United States, who, with the guidance and aid of the Holy Spirit, are all actively pursuing our organizational goals.

We work in concert with local bishops and priests; the network of the Catholic Church opens doors for our missionaries to serve around the world, building and expanding upon ministries which are struggling or simply don't exist due to lack of personnel or lack of training.

With 20 years of experience as a missionary organization, which was itself built on 20+ years of prior missionary experience of our founders, Frank and Genie Summers, Family Missions Company is uniquely qualified to train and support Catholic foreign missionaries in their service to the poor, ever aiming to increase the longevity of their work. Every year sees more and more missionaries answering the call to full-time ministry.

We are growing at an astounding pace. In 2012, we had 30 missionaries in the field. Now, we have over 200. Because of this growth, we are ministering to more people than ever: our work directly impacts over 6,000 people each month.

In response to this growth, Family Missions Company has expanded its staff and has recently built a new office space to accommodate for this need. We are acquiring additional missionary housing for those in training, on furlough, and visiting. Over the past few years, we have held our Intake missionary training program overseas in Peru, the Philippines, and mainland Asia. We have plans to expand our stateside Intake program to two sessions per year.
