The Beginning

FPM began with a cross-cultural friendship and a belief that we personally and the Church can and must do better when it comes to how we support one another.  While FPM officially formed in 2009, the origins of our story go back decades. Our late co-founder's book, ​ The Last Missionary documents the bicycle journey that launched a movement and dives deeply into the who, why and how of Friendly Planet's missiology.  The book has received critical acclaim is even now part of the Intro to Mission curriculum at Boston University. 

We invite you to read our year-in-review pages to get snapshots of how we have evolved.  The video on this page comes from a talk 'Biking Bob' gave in 2011 about why he was so passionate about collaborating with his Congolese colleagues.
