International;
Oral Roberts Ministries Ministerial Alliance; and the Assemblies of God.
There is also a Board of Reference of five business people who recommend this
ministry. Additionally we have two Honorary Board of Directors:

Although this organization is non demoninational and not officially aligned with any one denomination, Friends Forever
founder and
president Dr. Muirhead, is associated with
the Assemblies of God. Our purpose is to go where there are open community
doors,
and work with many churches in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, "...so
that none should perish, but all have everlasting life..."
Friends Forever is funded through private donations, primarily from
individuals and churches. All Dr.
Muirhead's merchandise (book, CD, tapes, etc.),
Laurie Muirhead's music
recordings and publishing, and speaking honorariums go directly into Friends
Forever.
Friends Forever Ministry Trips to the greater
Montego Bay area are to public schools, child care homes, communities, and
through churches
during Vacation Bible School outreach. These outreach and relief trips are who
we are, but they are separate financially, and are not used as a
fundraising source for the ministry.
The cost expense for week trips, and internship covers: round trip air travel; housing; meals;
and ground
transportation while "on site" for ministry.
a word from Dr. Mark
I have walked many streets in Montego
Bay since 1993. Now, over two thousand leaders and students have walked with me.
During our walks we have found: thousands of children at orphanages, schools and
churches (85% of babies are born to an unmarried man and woman, the last twenty years in the St. James parish); many youth and adults carry the HIV virus (highest ranking in area in the Caribbean); and there are families who live at poverty levels (this is the real Jamaica - third world nation).
I walk with people in Jamaica. I hear their cry for education, physical, material and great spiritual needs.
What do they need? It's obvious - they need a father, a strong family and friends forever.
God is calling. What about you? Walk with me,
leaders and other students. You'll discover you can love someone. Just one
person. Have you ever loved an orphan? You can get their name. Pray for them
everyday for the rest of your life. Write them once a month. You will begin to
change a fatherless nation. You will change! Your life will be filled with
loving people, one person at a time. That is radical change...you can get in
this Mix!
Every time I'm walking the Montego Bay area, I know I'm part of
the Mix, sharing God's love. It's more than a missions trip. It's a lifestyle.
Call our office at 910-215-7777 or email Laurie at our office with your questions: harpmotive@aol.com. The 2009 dates are on this web site.
You and your friends will learn that a radical lifestyle change by setting aside
your time for this trip.
Together let's say, "YES"
to the Lord's call, you will get in the Mix to share God's love in Jamaica by
loving some of my and your future friends forever like Keeno, Tony, Nyoke',
Carrie Ann children in schools and communities they are our business,
we must give care to them.
