Who We Are

Kim and Lynn Weiler – President and Founders of Fe Viva World MissionsIn 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 ministry bases in Nicaragua and Sudan. Our home office is in Canada now, but our hearts remain with the people God has brought into our lives. |
