Kim and Lynn Weiler – President and Founders of Fe Viva World Missions
In 1995 we left Canada with our three children to pioneer a work in Guatemala. Since then the work has grown to include many distinct ministries directed by a wonderful team of missionaries and Guatemalan staff. God continues to increase our vision to include building children’s homes, schools, medical facilities and a ministry base in Nicaragua . Our home office is in Canada now, but our hearts remain with the people God has brought into our lives. |
