Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Matthew 25:34-36 Franciscan Missionaries of Divine Compassion http://fmdc.wordpress.com/ This is a franciscan monastic order of the Anglican Church in North America begun by Fr. Greg Mashburn and Sr. Sarah Masterson. Fr. Mashburn is rector of a parish in Shalimar, Florida, friar, and Minister General whose duties include full responsibility for governing the Order and training the postulants, novices, and professed brothers to take a full share in the life of the community at the time they are professed to lifelong vows. Foreign Mission Support If you know of any overseas missionaries who could use our support please let us know. For their security their names and locations will not be listed on this website. Local Missions Grandparent Ministry We are attempting to put together a ministry for grandparents raising grandchildren. This project is in the works. The reason for this is that our society has produced an epidemic of absent parents. Some of this cannot be helped due to illness or tragedy, but much of it is the product of substance abuse or irresponsible behavior. We want to support these courageous grandparents who are raising these precious children. Prison Ministry Please contact Fr. Sam. 870.421.2986 Special Olympics Jesus said: “I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” from Matthew 25: 45   We believe that our society makes those born with a handicap truly “the least of these” by marginalizing them. Yet we feel they are equal to us all in the sight of God. The Special Olympics is just one way of supporting the lives of children who will be different and set apart. We support the ministry to them and their families and believe that they equally share in all of the promises of God and Jesus Christ. It is therefore our mission to communicate that to them.
