Books for the Nuba

Dear Friends,
 
I wanted to share with you about what the Lord is doing in the Nuba Mountains. As you know, this year a team from Frontline had the opportunity to visit the Nuban believers for two weeks. During that time, we were part of an outreach team that preached the Gospel and distributed many Bibles to schools in this remote 10/40 window area in North Africa.

​We were able to successfully distribute 38,000 Bibles and just under 50,000 Story of Jesus picture books to 130 schools. This was a wonderful blessing to be a part of, but there are still many Christian leaders without any discipleship training resources.

By God’s grace, we are wanting to bring in Biblical and Theological training resources for the Nuban leaders in Arabic (which is the trade language of the Nuba Mountains). We have everything lined up to bring in the following resources for no printing costs:

• 350 Arabic Desiring God by John Piper (Free)
• 350 Arabic Future Grace by John Piper (Free)
• 350 Arabic Knowing God by J I Packer (Free)
• 250 English ESV Study Bibles (Free)

All these are being provided for free by a publishing house, who believes in the work God is doing in the Nuba mountains. They only require that we cover the shipping cost of $1,450.

We would also like to bless the believers with the following resources from this publisher that would be provided to us at a production cost:

• 5 Arabic Warren Wiersbe's Commentaries in 28 volumes in set ($110 per set)
• 10 Arabic Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem 3 volumes in set ($80 per set)

This would make the total shipment cost: $2,800.
 
Right now, there are not enough funds to make this shipment possible, but by the Lord's provision we are trusting that He is "able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think." Ephesians 3:20 ​

This would be an incredible blessing to these dear Christians, who have endured over 20 years of aerial bombardments and other severe persecution for their faith. As someone who had the opportunity to study at Phoenix Seminary under Dr. Wayne Grudem, I feel a particular burden to help get these Theological study resources into the hands of the Nuban people. Back in 2011, Rev. Jeffrey Kyunga in South Sudan told me that Grudem's Systematic Theology was an invaluable resource for discipling Christians as it is so easy to read and understand. 
 
Thank you for your continued prayers and investment in the Great Commission!
 
In Christ,
Hunter Combs

Please pray for Sudan:

• Please pray for the children of the Nuba Mountains who meet for school in buildings that have previously been bombed by the Islamic Arab North.
•  Pray for the teachers who are using the Bibles they have received as part of their school curriculum.
• Pray for pastors and chaplains as they have a tremendous responsibility to train their people in the Word of God which they have now received.
• Pray for God’s provision of this next shipment of Bibles and discipleship resources.
