Frontline News Edition 2 of 2018

eceive Bibles and Th e Story of
Jesus Christ book. It was a joy to
know that these students were
receiving a Bible (most of them
for the first time in their lives)
and the younger students Gospel
Story books.
Prepositioning and Preaching
We then loaded up 1,800 Bibles
in the truck and drove an hour
and a half to preposition the
Bibles in one location for 12
schools to collect.
The next day we did a lot of
driving, prepositioning Bibles
in four different locations for
roughly thirty different schools
to come and collect. I was able
to share the Gospel with five
schools gathered at two different
locations. There were over twenty
schools in this region who still
needed to receive Bibles so we
left the remaining thousand
Bibles for them to collect. We
did a lot of driving, distributing,
preaching, and at the end of
the day I had heat exhaustion
and culture shock from hearing
Arabic spoken all day.
Back on Base
We drove back to our base where
John, Ben, Abrie and I had set
out from five days earlier. After
driving on a treacherous road for
over four hours with ten people
and four goats in the back of our
truck, I was ready to drink lots of
water and hear English spoken
again. When I saw John back at
camp, it was so refreshing to be
with someone who understood
my culture!

Leadership Conference
Over the next week,
we were able to make
the most of our time
ministering around
our base camp. We
distributed Bibles and
shared the Gospel
with many schools.
On Sunday we split
up preaching at four
different churches, and
during the week we
shared morning devotions with
leaders who were attending a
leadership conference.
One of the highlights of the
week was going into the market
on “market-day” when everyone
floods the stalls. John, Abrie,
and I (through our enthusiastic
interpreter) collectively preached
four times in the market
reaching hundreds of people
with the Gospel. People would
gather around to listen as we
shared stories from the Bible
and entreated them to repent
and trust in Christ. After one
presentation, a small group of
people came forward to call upon
the Name of the Lord. It was
exciting and encouraging to see
God’s hand at work.
Bibles and Blessings
The last week we really saw
how hungry these people were
for the Word of God. We had
one school walk two hours to
come and collect boxes of Bibles
(that’s a four-hour round trip
walk in stifling heat)! At the end
of the week as the leadership
training seminar ended, we
entrusted the leaders with 1,800
Bibles and 3,100 Story of Jesus
Christ booklets to bring back to
their schools, churches, military
personnel, and to the teachers
under their care. One of the
leaders holds Bible studies at
his home and disciples many
people. He needed over a
hundred Bibles to give to those
he is training and equipping for
the Kingdom.
FRONTLINE FELLOWSHIP 2018 EDITION 2
It is encouraging to see how
hard-working and focused these
believers are to see God’s glory
displayed throughout the Nuba
Mountains. Last time Ben and
John came, they encouraged the
people to plant a church in a least
reached area and now, less than
six months later there is a church
there.
This mission was 14 months
in the making as Ben prayed,
coordinated, raised funds, gave
sacrificially, and spent many
sleepless nights ensuring that
the Bibles made it into the
hands of these dear children.
God promised in Isaiah that His
Word, like the rain that falls on
the earth, will produce life.
“So shall My Word be that goes
out from My mouth; it shall
not return to Me empty, but it
shall accomplish that which I
purpose, and shall succeed in
the thing for which I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:11
Please Pray:
• For the 90 plus tribes in the
Nuba Mountains many of
which are still unreached
and under the control of
the oppressive Sudanese
government.
• Pray for Nuban missionaries
to go into the harvest.
• Pray for the thousands of
school children who heard
the Gospel.
• Pray for the many leaders
who want the government of
Nuba to be founded upon the
Bible.
• Pray that the Word of God
would transform lives,
schools, and the churches.
• Pray for the last of the Bibles
that will be distributed after
the rainy season.
