About Us
David E Glaze Sr. Through the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ I committed my life to Christ. After trusting Christ as my savior, I joined and later became president of the local chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I also helped lead Christmas conference trips for Campus Crusade for Christ each year. During one of those conferences, I felt God calling me to full time mission work. I then majored in missions at Liberty Baptist College. In 1981, Dianne and I got married, had 3 children and have raised them like a lot of other American Christian parents, praying for God to call them to full time Christian service. However, God had another plan and wasn’t finished with us, yet.
Through our service on the outreach committee at our church, Faith Christian Fellowship, and going on several mission trips to Nicaragua, God renewed our vision of serving Him on the mission field. We are excited about this stage in our lives of stepping out of our comfort zone and furthering our service to God. To God be the glory, great things He has done and will do!

I trusted Christ as my Savior as a 10 year old child. As a college student, I surrendered to go to the mission field, if that was God’s will for my life. It has been my desire throughout my life to follow and serve God in whatever way He chooses. Whenever I’d seen missionary presentations about children languishing in orphanages or in famine and poverty in third world countries, I felt a definite pull on my heart from the Lord, though never really a definite direction. After helping as a mission team leader with a group from our church going to Nicaragua in August of 2003, I knew God was still working in my heart to follow His call to the mission field.
David, Douglas, and I went to Nicaragua in February 2004 to participate in Spanish language studies for 4 weeks before a group came from our church to work on a construction project there. God gave us a great love and respect for the Nicaraguan people, as well as a desire to see them reached with the love of Jesus Christ. In the time we were there, we developed several lasting relationships with different people, and God has made it obvious that He wants us there more than just a week or two a year. After prayer and counsel from Christians for whom we have much respect, we decided on May 27th, 2004 to surrender our lives to go to Nicaragua on a full time basis.
After surrendering to go the mission field full time, we were accepted by our former mission board, Churches in Missions in June 2004. We attended the Spanish Language Institute in San Jose, Costa Rica from April 2007-April 2008 and have since served in both Costa Rica and Nicaragua, helping with short term teams and teaching classes in English as a Second Language to help further the gospel. In November 2008, we decided to follow God's leading in resigning from our mission board to go to the mission field directly from our church, Faith Christian Fellowship, as our sending agency. This allows us to work with other organizations and form long-lasting relationships with the poor wherever God calls us.
Galatians 2:10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do
May God receive honor and glory from this decision, and may He use us to further His kingdom!
