Where we have served:

Starting in 1998, we served as missionaries in the Balkans to the country of to Macedonia. Macedonia, formerly part of Yugoslavia in Eastern Europe, broke away and became a nation in 1991. Macedonia was the least evangelized country in Europe with a blend of Orthodox Macedonians, Muslim Albanians and Gypsies. Skopje, the capital, has the largest settled Gypsy population in the world. The Evangelical Christian population is less than 1 tenth of 1%. During our terms in Macedonia, we were involved in refugee work, started Royal Rangers, ministered to young Christian converts from the Muslim faith and witnessed to our neighbors. We were also able to work in the neighboring countries of Albania, Bulgaria, and Kosovo.

Frontiersman Camping Fellowship, an important part of Royal Rangers has sponsored many Pathfinder short-term missions’ teams to various countries.

In April, 2008 a team will be going to Taimati, a remote area in Panama to build a church building for a small, but growing, group of believers that do not have the means to buy materials and build a building.

Please see the attached 2 documents for more information on this upcoming trip.

Pathfinder Missions...

Founded in 1995, Pathfinder Missions exists to construct churches, Ranger camps, Christian schools, clinics, orphanages, missionary dwellings, or anything a missionary needs to build God’s Kingdom at home in the USA, or in the most remote areas of the world.

Teams need a variety of construction talents, such as carpentry, masonry, framework, post and beam work, and native material construction. Accepting the challenge of a Royal Rangers Pathfinder Missions trip may also require you to use your campcraft, woodsmanship, backpacking, and survival skills.
