Joshua and Elizabeth responded to God’s call by joining the FMWM-Asian team as U.S.-based partners, supporting the student ministry and church planting initiatives of international missionaries Alan and Ammabellee Bacus in the Philippines and other Asian countries. Additionally, Joshua participates in the Gethsemane Leadership Training (GLT) teaching team by providing continuing education courses for pastors in Asian host countries. He designs and teaches a 24-contact-hour curriculum augmenting pastors’ training while they actively serve their local communities. Prayer and financial support help the Openas fulfill these ministry endeavors.
