Dear
William
Greetings in the precious Name of Jesus
Christ!
I hope you are well.
We have just moved into a house on a farm outside of Polokwane. Here
we are paying less rent than at our previous house with water and
electricity included, and our daughters are allowed to ride the horses and the
little ones are amazed at the cows grazing close to the house. So, we
think it was a good move.
Please let us know
how you are doing.
As
you know, on 9 July 2011, South Sudan celebrated its Independence from the
North, ending a war that had lasted over 20 years and claimed the lives of over
2 million Christians! The door is wide open now for preaching the Gospel,
winning souls to Jesus Christ and an opportunity to build His
Church.
Frontline Fellowship has been involved for 16 years in
Sudan during which time they have trained over 70 Chaplains, 50 medics, 280
pastors and 780 teachers. Over the years Frontline Fellowship has
also helped established 100 primary schools, one high school and two Bible
Colleges in Sudan, thus strengthening a vital 3-fold mission work - ministering
to spirit, mind and body.
Now, each of these established ministries
urgently needs to be re-supplied. To meet the challenge of this unprecedented
door of opportunity in South Sudan, Frontline Fellowship urgently needs to
launch an overland mission to South Sudan within the next
month. Pastors need the new discipleship
books and other vital evangelistic and discipleship literature for distribution.
Field Evangelists need audio visual MP3 Sabers and DVD projectors for showing
the Jesus film and other evangelistic tools in the local languages. Chaplains
need the new chaplain's handbooks, plus tracts and other Gospel
literature. Schools need to replace their worn out text books, medical
clinics need supplies (especially now that Samaritan Purse has handed the
hospital over to the local church).
Frontline Fellowship has an established network of key Christian
leaders in South Sudan, ready to take advantage of this unprecedented
opportunity. The time to help the newly liberated South Sudanese Christians is
now. The cults and communists are ready to exploit the opening, as are the
Muslims.
Truly, "the harvest is ripe." Whereas, all
too frequently "the laborers are few", FF has trained
and experienced field-team personnel sufficient to make up three teams - ready
to go to South Sudan.
I am scheduled to
leave on 10 October. I will travel through Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania,
Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi to deliver large quantities of books and
literature to many of our fellow workers. On the way back from Sudan we
will minister in all these countries. Most of our time will be spent in Sudan,
but there are also many requests from these other countries for
ministry. Therefore we will be six missionaries presenting Biblical Worldview
Seminars, Great Commission Courses and Leadership Courses. Please read
more about Frontline's previous involvement in Sudan online at www.frontline.org.za
My expenses for fuel,
border crossings, taxes, food and lodging will come to R50 000. I also need to
prepare my Land Rover to handle the long and rough roads, river crossings, and
the heavy trailer with safety. Therefore I need the following things for this
outreach but also future trips to Sudan and other countries:
A set of heavy duty
coil springs and shock absorbers
A
winch
A snorkel
A GPS
An engine monitor
A new rear door lock
Please pray with me
for this endeavor, so that God may be glorified in the nations.
We trust that many people will come to salvation.
Please let me
know if you know of someone who would be interested in making a
contribution.
"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face
to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among
all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise
you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples
with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O
God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the
earth fear him!" Psalm
67
Thank you, and may God be with you.
