MISSIONARIES IN THE DIOCESE

Fr. Martin & Rose Bunsy

Since 1994, Martin and Rose Bunsy have worked as missionaries in their native country of Laos. Since 2000 they have partnered with Global Teams and the Diocese of San Joaquin. God has used them to raise up the English and Computer Training Center in the capital city of Vientiane. They have also established a home church with full recognition from the Department of Religion (LPDR). Martin was ordained a priest in the Diocese on April 23, 2005.

Please consider supporting Martin and Rose with regular financial support, or even a one time donation.  You may support the Bunsys in two ways:

1.      Donations may be sent to Global Teams via their website:

2.      Donations to the Bunsy’s health insurance fund may be sent to the address below.  Note: 100% of your donation to the Bunsy’s health insurance fund is spent on their health care costs.  There are no administrative fees taken by the Diocese of San Joaquin.  Please reference “Bunsy’s Health Care” on your check.

Giving Gifts that Bring Blessings to Laos
Do you need a good idea for a gift for those not-so easy-to buy-for people on your Christmas list?  Consider making donations to Lao Mission Projects in their honor.

Consider giving similar gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day,……the sky is the limit!

Upon receipt of your donations, special cards will be sent informing the recipient of your thoughtful gift.

Your donation will be used for

*upgrading supplies at the English Language and Computer Training Center in Vientiane,

*purchasing equipment for Jacob’s Farm, the new meat and dairy farm in Ko Kieng, 

*giving people in Laos who have never heard the name of Jesus their first
opportunity to hear His good news.
