Philippines - Mike and Natalie Bucher
We have been partnering with Mike and Natalie Bucher with GROW International for over two years. It has been our desire to build strong relationships with them and then as needed build teams around their dreams for ministry.
The video on this page is one example of how we have served them in the past. This short video was produced by our video production team that went to Manila in January, 2011 and it also shows one of our team members using his skills as a biologist to serve there. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Buchers and serving them in the near future. Let us know if you have as skill that you believe might be a benefit to the Buchers on future teams
Grow International Ministries is an interdenominational Christian organization. Our primary purpose is to assist Christian Nationals in their efforts to reach out to their own communities with love and the message of hope through Jesus Christ.
We are doing this in several ways…
FEEDING PROGRAM:
Caring for the poorest of the poor living on the streets of Manila. We search streets, back alleys, under bridges, etc. in our mobile approach to feeding and caring for the homeless.
Leadership Development / Livelihoods:
- Training of urban & rural Pastors, Lay Leaders, and National Missionaries to Unreached People Groups, through access to books, seminars, and community development training for agriculture & other livelihood skills.
Prenatal Education & Care :
- There is a tremendous need amongst poor women of the third world for pregnancy assistance. Grow International Ministries helps to provide proper education in the areas of nutrition and care for women and their unborn babies.

New ministry
Right now we're working on a new livelihood project called 'Grow Athletic Apparel'. We're having sports apparel ( right now mostly team uniforms ) designed and manufactured here and then we sell to high schools, colleges, AAU teams, kids leagues, etc. It's a 'Business as Missions' project & our goal is to be able to create a legitimate company that can generate ongoing funds that we can funnel back into mission projects & missionaries all over the world!
