Foundation for Missions

David and Esther Griggs

Esther and I live in town of Dunnville, Ontario. We are the parents of 3 children and 5 grandchildren. I am currently serving as a pastor for the Dunnville Free Methodist Church but have also been a business owner, financial planner and been involved in short-term missions throughout different parts of the world. I echo John Wesley’s words when he said that the world was his parish. My heart carries both a local and global perspective. I firmly believe that the Gospel, with its spiritual and social arms, is the answer to the human heart and social ills.

My goal as Director is simply an extension of my focus over the past decades of my work. It is to build a team of leaders who in turn will mentor others. The harvest is wide and the laborers are few but as the Lord releases those laborers to do His work we partner with the Holy Spirit to disciple, train and release each into the calling that He has upon each life.
