Meet the Fishels
Rural Ministry in Joniškis, Lithuania
The Fishels are church planters in the small northern town of Joniškis and their primary focus of ministry are local underprivileged village children and their families. Their ministry entails multiple facets from meeting practical tangible needs of neglected children as being a safe place for them to gather. They facilitate weekly gatherings for the community for Bible study, worship and fellowship. They also work diligently with their community to allow for local disadvantaged children to have a way to attend summer camp in Panevėžys. Simona, a native of Joniškis married to her husband Ryan from Nevada and they with their 4 children felt called from ministry in Ireland right back to Simona's hometown. There is such a deep need in this rural area and they are a beacon of love and hope. It is an honor to partner with what God is doing in this beautiful, forested region of Joniškis, Lithuania.

Freedom Fighter Foundation
As a USAF veteran married to a now USAF retiree, I 🧡 our military.
I have personally witnessed the lifechanging work of Freedom Fighter Foundation including in my own family. Many don't realize just how devastating PTSD is to our servicemembers and the effects it can have. FFF brings healing and hope to both active duty as well as veterans and first responders at absolutely no charge and Amber Auksas is honored to now be a part of their work. Together with you, let us honor our heroes through your amber purchases.

2024 Lithuanian Youth Camp Update!
With your help, another amazing summer camp is now in the books. 29 children and youth from the Fishel's village community were able to have this special opportunity that they likely wouldn't have been able to have without mission sponsorship.
The children had a full week of bonfires, games, swimming, fishing, hiking, special guest speakers speaking on relevant issues/challenges for today's youth, English lessons, Bible studies and learning about how much God loves them!
