About Farthest Corners	We are a 501(c)3 organization
In February of 2006, a small group met in the upstairs Library at Greenwich Presbyterian Church to listen to one of its members share his vision for a mission he felt God led him to start in Asia. Plans for this mission took shape while he was teaching at a Christian school in Thailand. His time off from teaching had been spent traveling with Christian friends into Burma where he witnessed firsthand the plight of displaced persons fleeing from the Burma Army. Some of these people, many from the Karen nation, flee to refugee camps; others stay hidden in the jungles until the Army leaves, then they head back to their often burned out villages. This man's vision for this mission convicted the assembled group to agree, with God’s leading, to form Farthest Corners with the commitment to provide humanitarian aid as well as spiritual and educational assistance to the displaced people of Burma. In March 2006, he returned to Asia and now is a full-time missionary for Farthest Corners. He identifies situations where he believes we can make a difference and informs the organization of the support required. Support from Greenwich Presbyterian Church, Nokesville Church of the Brethren, and many generous donors from those churches and the surrounding community has enabled Farthest Corners to make a difference far beyond what was anticipated at that February meeting. Not only has the organization been able to meet financial obligations for his employment but more than $12,000 has been donated to mission projects which include: Partnering with Karen Christians to establish “Mr. Happy’s Home,” a hostel /orphanage. Providing medical kits for relief missions to care for people in hiding from Burma Army attacks. Purchasing horses and mules to transport supplies to displaced people. Providing emergency rice and medicine to the Karen nation in late Fall 2006. We held a special benefit/auction to raise funds for this. Providing school supplies to Karen, Karenni and Shan schools. Providing supplies - cooking utensils, blankets, toilets, clothing, hymnals, bibles and mosquito nets - for displaced people inside Burma and along its border. In addition to providing humanitarian aid through Farthest Corners, our Missonary teaches and counsels budding Christians in his home and is forming working partnerships with other Christian groups. A giant leap of faith led to the formation of Farthest Corners. Believing that God does not send where He does not lead, we also believe that we are in Asia to carry out God’s plan. In support of that call, providing humanitarian aid and spreading the uplifting message of Jesus Christ in Asia continues to be the preeminent goal of Farthest Corners. The prayers and financial support of many faithful will allow this mission to continue to grow.	Our Mission Our Board How You Can Help Contact Us
