Featured Missionary Family

Jeremy and Danielle Fontenot

Jeremy & Danielle Fontenot have been serving as missionaries since January 2007 in Southeast Asia. They are members of Moved With Compassion, a missions oriented ministry founded by Steven & Barbara Nicaud. Currently they reside and serve in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Their vision is to bring a spiritual awakening to the body of Christ, to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry and to make disciples.
“Freely we have received freely we give.”

World Mission Field
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:15-18

The purpose of missions is to extend our scope of influence as Christians beyond our own homes, towns, and even countries. It is the laying down of our dreams and aspirations in exchange for the passionate cry of God’s heart to reach every man, woman, boy and girl with the message of Jesus Christ.

What is a Missionary?
Regardless of ethnicity, a missionary is a believer in Christ that pursues relationships that cross all cultural boundaries. He or she forsakes all to transculturally communicate the truth of Jesus reaching every corner of the Earth. He or she believes that this is the highest honor afforded man and would pay any price to reach those who have not heard the Gospel, to hasten the return of Christ for His Bride.
