Fellowship Church Missionaries

What is a Fellowship Church Missionary?

At Fellowship we want to help everyone in our body take their next step of faith with Jesus. He makes us a new person, gives us a new family, and sends us on a new Mission. Sometimes that mission leads our people to serve God in an international setting.

Fellowship Church Missionaries are people who have taken their next step into where God is calling them on a new mission. They have gone through an application and interview process with the Mobilization Department and have been approved as Fellowship Church Missionaries. Each unit serves through an organization that also helps encourage them towards their goals. Fellowship's desire is to help launch and care for these missionaries by giving support financially, emotionally,  theologically, and physically.

Delaney DriscolL | Monterrey, Mexico

Delaney grew up at Fellowship Church, participating in the middle and high school ministries, where she was introduced to the short-term mission trips to Tijuana, Mexico.  After going on several of these trips and eventually serving as an intern over several summers during her high school years, Delaney moved to Tijuana in 2019 after graduating college to work full-time at Tijuana Christian Mission and also helped lead a discipleship training program in her local church.  Four years later, Delaney sensed God calling her to a new ministry in Monterrey, Mexico.

In her new role, she will be working with Back2Back ministries in their Transition Program. She will help young adults transition from institutionalized living situations, such as orphanages and government shelters, to living independently as healthy young adults within their community. In Mexico, many orphaned children age out of these homes and end up returning to abusive families or living on the streets. Delaney’s role will be to help these young adults establish goals to live independently, help them acquire necessary skills and resources, and offer ongoing support as they transition into adult life.  The ultimate goal is that these children who grew up dependent on institutional living environments will flourish to be “adults living dependently on Christ and interdependently in their community.”

The Johnsons | A DEsire to serve | Jinotepe, nicaragua

Stan and Tamera Johnson are a Fellowship Church family who have dedicated their lives to serving the people of Nicaragua. They have a unique heart and passion to help strengthen and mend marriages, as well as to develop young adults into healthy disciples of Jesus.  

Since 2016, the Johnsons have traveled regularly to Nicaragua. They invest deeply in the church body by developing and executing marriage workshops for couples. Along with these workshops, the couple regularly runs Bible Studies and Missional Training out of their home until recently.

With the purchase of a new building, the Johnsons have been able to expand their ministry as it naturally grows and flourishes. In 2023, they also opened their own coffee shop where they invite locals into learning the process of coffee roasting, business, customer service, and other unique ways of discipleship.

Their heart is to join with other gospel-centered organizations who are working to see families of Nicaragua find forgiveness and freedom in Christ through the incredible message of Grace.

the chesneys | homes of love | zimbabwe, cambodia, southeast asia

Gary and Debbie Chesney founded Homes of Love in 2000. However, the story begins many years before then. As a teenager, God began to build the call of adoption and the country of Vietnam in Debbie’s heart. Several years later, Debbie and Gary were married but still didn’t have a clear sense of God’s desire for how they would impact Vietnamese orphans. Twenty years later, Homes of Love was born from a heart for children to have forever homes. Homes of Love families are places of restoration where parents care for hurting children, offering them protection, guidance, spiritual hope, and love. These children receive nutritious food, clean water, clothing, education, healthcare, and lots of love – freeing them to dream and pursue vibrant futures.

The alburys | Camp Bahamas | the bahamas

Richard and Andrea Albury began their journey began over 20 years ago with a call from the Lord to serve the teens of The Bahamas. Their ministry, Camp Bahamas, offers a variety of sports activities to students on these islands. Each year they serve over 600 campers using gospel infused sports and games that reach those who are far from Jesus. Along with the activities of the camp, each participant has a chance to learn more about Jesus through the teaching and discipling time.  

Camp Bahamas recruits and trains staff to participate in the discipleship of these young students.  Most of the current staff are former students who have decided to take their next step in faith by investing in the next generation. The camp currently has several building projects going on, which will eventually help enhance the ministry to the guests.

Richard shared that,  “God is good and our prayer for our Staff and Campers this summer is that they would be able to 'Taste and See the Goodness of God' in their lives this year. We are excited about the future of CB and the direction that God is taking us.”
