A goal for FOI-MTTM is to connect family members with resources for support and mutual growth. Because military life can be stressful for the entire family, support groups for parents, single parents, parents’ night out, a safe place to hang out in times of loneliness are a few means this is done. 

The network of ministry centers globally and these ‘missional Christian families’ fosters affirmation, hope and growth. Alumni often remark that these fellowships became lifeline while stationed far from home and friends made remain strong and lasting long after reassignments. Some FOI outreaches will have specific outreaches that target the single military person or ‘geographical bachelor’ and all fellowships will make room for them in a ‘home away from home’ atmosphere.
