We are Tanie and Jacqueline Guy, full-time missionaries, teachers and speakers, serving under the banner of Forget-Me-Not Ministries, which is based just outside Washington, D.C.
We have a passion for missions and care deeply for those who serve in missions. Our lives are devoted to ministering to, with, and for God’s frontline warriors.
Missions is out-of-the-box work. Missionaries face unique challenges.
Every year at least 5,000 U.S. missionaries leave the field unnecessarily because of excessive stress involving personal, family, social, and ministry hardships.
What makes us unique as “missionaries to missionaries” is that we partner with and minister to the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of God’s frontline warriors. We bring compassion, encouragement, healing and help…right where they’re at.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
(Matt 11:28-29)

FMNM Ministry House – Ukraine
Back in 2000 God downloaded to us the vision of a place, Forget-Me-Not Manor, that would serve as a place of rest for His frontline saints. Missionaries, in response to their calling, serve others full-time. Their work is THE way of life for them 24/7; it is selfless and arduous, and, over time, it can be increasingly costly at a personal and spiritual level. Physical and spiritual depletion can often go unnoticed by those back home. But we recognize the need to reach missionaries before this depletion reaches the critical point where it hinders their Kingdom effectiveness. For 25 years our lives have been devoted to providing a revitalization ministry of rest and healing to frontline missionaries. We help them recover and be restored so that they can return to the mission field refreshed and equipped to continue to successfully fulfill God’s call on their life.
After 18 years of ministry in Ukraine (always having to move from place to place for ministry) the Lord opened the door for us to secure land to provide a more conducive and appropriate setting, allowing FMNM’s ministry to deepen and broaden its capacity and help to ensure its long-term success. In November 2023, we purchased an ideal plot of land in Veron’kiv, Ukraine that is 35 minutes southeast of Kyiv and 20 minutes from the international airport. It is right next door to the home of our longtime missionary friends who we have served with for 16 years. We will use the land to build a home base for us and a “quiet place,” FMNM’s ministry home for the Lord’s frontline saints.
