PRAYER ALERT for Friends of the Mission

Greetings in the precious Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
 
By God's grace, so far this year, we have completed the Biblical Worldview Summit, Great Commission Course, March for Life, missions to Uganda and Sudan and across South Africa, including ministering at the Ministers Conference at KwaSizabantu Mission with a record 2,500 participants from 29 countries. Our missionaries to the Nuba Mountains of Sudan managed to deliver the largest shipment of Bibles and books ever delivered to an officially Islamic country that we are aware of. Over 118,000 Bibles and books in English and Arabic, were delivered to over 130 schools, churches and Bible colleges throughout the remote Nuba Mountains region of Sudan. We also completed the six year Bible Survey, publishing the New Testament Survey book and Audio MP3 Boxset. Many of these have been donated to colleges and pastors throughout Africa.

We have many invitations to minister throughout Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and even further afield. However that will not be possible without a dramatic infusion of funds and increase of support.
 
Our Mission Manager, Colin Newman, has alerted us to a severe financial crisis which we are facing at the Mission. All of our reserves and funds have been exhausted. That includes our sister ministries, Christian Liberty Books, Africa Christian Action and Gospel Defence League. Lenora has even made her vehicle fund from her inheritance available to pay staff support and meet end of month commitments for the previous month of April. For the first time in her adult life, Lenora is without a car.

By God's grace, as a Faith Mission, Frontline Fellowship has never engaged in direct fund raising, nor taken up an offering at our meetings. In 38 years, I have never taken any royalties for any of the over 50 books and manuals I have authored. Everything is ploughed directly into the Mission. Our Christian Liberty Books ministry is a Not-for-Profit ministry and any funds generated is ploughed directly into the Mission.
 
Our Literature 4 Africa ministry is distributing about 200 tonnes of Bibles, books and Sunday school materials, completely free, to schools, missions, Bible colleges and ministries throughout Africa. Every week a steady stream of pastors, evangelists and teachers come past the Mission to re-supply on World Missionary Press Gospel booklets, Sunday school resources, Bibles, books and New Testaments from our stores. Just in the last month, we distributed one million World Missionary Press Gospel booklets.

Therefore, we must request your urgent prayers and insights as to what we can do to alert those who love, support and value the Mission and varied ministries at Frontline Fellowship, to seek the Lord as to what we can do to increase our support base, market more effectively, our books and audio visual materials and raise the support needed for planned upcoming missions throughout Africa. We also have a number of books ready for the printer, including new publications in French and Afrikaans.
 
Francis Grim, the Founder of Hospital Christian Fellowship, the first Mission I served under, emphasised the principles of Hudson Taylor: “God's work, done God's way, will not lack God's supply.” and “God’s servant is God's responsibility.” The first Chairman of the Board of Frontline Fellowship, Rev. Doc Watson, challenged me: “You fight God's battles, let Him fight yours!”

So, when we have such financial constraints, we see it as a call from the Lord to search our hearts and souls and to be alert as to what the Lord may be saying to us. Of course, we are continually seeking to improve our faithfulness to Scripture, deepen our devotional lives, focus our intercession and improve our strategies and tactics to be more effective in fulfilling the Great Commission, making disciples of all nations, teaching obedience to all things the Lord has commanded.
