FBC is proud to partner with and provide financial support to the following Global Servants.
Mylinda Baits, Mylinda is a pastoral artist and trainer. Serving as a global consultant for Training Through Restorative Arts, she partners with IM colleagues, national church leadership and social change organizations to seek justice, healing and transformation through restorative art and creative expression. Compelled by Jesus’ prayer that the kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, Mylinda creates spaces where servant leaders and those who do the hard work of rescue, relief and restoration can be nurtured and renewed. As sinner and saint, she sees beauty in broken places, wonder in wounded people and life in loving God and others.

Christy Lafferty has been sharing Christ’s love and healing through AMOS Health and Hope since 2012. AMOS uses an empowering approach that engages communities as full partners. Christy supports AMOS in the treatment and prevention of illness, and the strengthening of communities as they work toward their own health and well-being. She provides leadership to two urban clinics and to remote vulnerable communities where there are no doctors by training and supporting local health promoters. The health promoters diagnose and treat common illnesses that can kill children, like pneumonia and diarrhea, and promote healthy habits like eliminating mosquito breeding sites to prevent zika and dengue fever. Short-term mission teams and volunteers work alongside AMOS to improve health for all people.
