I recently returned from a trip with Forward Edge to Oaxaca, Mexico. The trip was absolutely life changing. I was so impressed with the work they are doing in Oaxaca specifically how much programming they can offer to a large amount of families for a small amount of money. Every penny (or peso) is put to good use. The staff in the field (both Mexican nationals and American missionaries) serve with genuine hearts, working for the good of the community from sun up to sun down. The cost of our trip provided not only our room and board, but also provided money to work on a water project including paying local workers to come in and do the work. I love that this ministry supports local community members in bettering their community. I plan to return to Oaxaca with Forward Edge every year, and I am committed to helping them find more child sponsors and raise money to eventually be able to open a school for the students they work with. After being in the field with Forward Edge, I am 100% confident that they are using their money with complete integrity and limiting their overhead in order to put as much money as possible into the field. I recommend them with great enthusiasm.
We choose to support Forward edge in every way possible. Through one time donations at their annual fundraiser to monthly contributions to their child sponsorship programs. We even support their affiliate fundraising efforts like SAHSAC (Sell a Home Save a Child). The reason we choose so support FEI through all of these various avenues is because giving to FEI has a direct impact on children's lives. Unlike other organizations, the money you give goes directly to the children or specific life improvement projects. You can even help put your money to work by being a part of a mission trip. Wonderful organization serving a wonderful need.
Amazing organization! Truly caring people who are making life-changing differences in the lives of people all around the world. I attended one of their benefit dinners and was moved to tears hearing about the work they are doing and the impact they are making.
With more than 35 years of experience, and a commitment to learning from both challenges and victories, I've never been more certain that my investments (going on 20 years) are being put to the best possible use. Forward Edge humbly serves with excellence, integrity, and transparency. Relationships are key--first with God, then with those they serve and those they send. The leadership is committed to the foundation of seeking God in all things and then employing Best Practices sought from their peers in missions, ministry, the Church, and business--all to the glory of God. I highly recommend partnering with them in whatever way you are led.
Not only is the work they're doing so important in helping relieve poverty and develop communities, they are very intentional and personal - both with those they serve and their donors. They really care about everyone and show it.
I have been supporting Forward Edge for over 15 years. In all that time, they have continued to be honest, transparent, committed, and consistent in their ministry to the under resourced children and families around the world. They are a great organization to partner with that is committed to providing opportunities for people like me to engage in helping others.
I've been supporting this organization for 10 years. I believe wholeheartedly in their mission and in the integrity of the people implementing it. I'm a Forward Edge fan for life!
We started sponsoring a child for every home we sell in our Real Estate team at the beginning of this year and have loved this experience! We love receiving letters from the children we sponsor with pictures and writing back and forth with them. I love seeing what Forward Edge Int is doing to help vulnerable children and their families!
I traveled to Haiti with Forward edge. Such a great organization! I sponsor a child through them and even though I haven't received a letter and it took a while to receive my packet, I know God is doing amazing things through forward edge and their customer service is amazing! Friendly staff !

Thank you Jazmen! And again, we apologize that it took a while for you to receive your sponsor packet. It's not a normal occurrence, and we apologize it happened that way for you. Thanks for your understanding! And more importantly, thank you for your service on a mission team, your investment in a child through sponsorship, and your continual support of the work God is doing through Forward Edge! You are a blessing!
