Program accomplishments

  • FIRST OUTREACH: HONDURAS - THE TOLUPAN PEOPLE: AN EXPLOSION OF GOD'S GRACE FRONTLINE MISSIONS HAS BEEN "BOOTS ON THE GROUND" IN FLOWER MOUNTAIN FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS. FROM OUR FIRST ENCOUNTERS WITH THE TOLUPAN PEOPLE, A PRIMITIVE INDIGENOUS TRIBE ENTRENCHED IN DARKNESS, WE SAW THAT THEY WERE HUNGRY TO KNOW THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD. NOW THERE IS A SHINING COMMUNITY OF BELIEVERS AND THE FIRST TRUE TOLUPAN CHURCH HAS BEEN BIRTHED IN THIS MOUNTAINOUS AREA OF HONDURAS. OVER THE YEARS, OUR GOAL IN FLOWER MOUNTAIN HAS BEEN TO SEE TRANSFORMATION THROUGH DEMONSTRATING THE LOVE OF GOD AND PRESENTING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, WHICH HAS POWER TO CHANGE LIVES AND CULTURES. WE HAVE BUILT TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CHIEFS, LEADERS, AND THE TOLUPAN PEOPLE. WE HAVE SOUGHT MEANS OF EMPOWERING THEM IN THEIR JOURNEY TO SERVE THEIR PEOPLE AND FOLLOWED THROUGH IN A VARIETY OF WAYS--FROM PROVIDING SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND TUITION FOR THEIR CHILDREN, COLLEGE SPONSORSHIP FOR THEIR TEACHERS, A COFFEE ECONOMY FOR THEIR MAIN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT, AN ARTISAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, AND MEDICAL AND DENTAL CLINICS. JOY NOW SHINES FROM THE TOLUPAN PEOPLE AND THEIR CHILDREN. BECAUSE OF GENERATIONS OF LOSS, THE TOLUPAN PEOPLE WERE LIMITED IN THEIR EXPRESSION OF EMOTION, WEIGHED DOWN BY OPPRESSION AND POVERTY. YET IN SPITE OF ALL THIS, THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS DOING THE WORK, TRANSFORMING THE TOLUPAN INTO THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THEY WERE MEANT TO BE THOSE WHO WERE ONCE CONSIDERED "FORGOTTEN" ARE "FORGOTTEN NO MORE." DURING 2024, 30 CHILDREN RECEIVED TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS, 600 RECEIVED SCHOOL SUPPLIES, 313 WERE ATTENDED IN MEDICAL CLINICS, 500 WERE FED, 331 CAME TO KNOW CHRIST, 30 HAVE BEEN IN THE ARTISAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, AND 600 POUNDS OF COFFEE WERE PURCHASED AT DOUBLE THE LOCAL PRICE. BEYOND THAT, LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES ARE BEING DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED, INCLUDING SPIRITUAL MENTORSHIP, UPON THE REQUEST OF THE TOLUPAN LEADERSHIP. FRONTLINE MISSIONS IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ONGOING PRACTICAL HELP IN THESE AND OTHER AREAS OF MISSION SERVICES, AS WE HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES. WE REJOICE IN THE EXPLOSION OF GOD'S GRACE WORKING AMONG THE TOLUPAN PEOPLE OF FLOWER MOUNTAIN 2024 ABBREVIATED HONDURAS STATISTICS: SALVATIONS AND RECOMMITMENTS: 313 PEOPLE FED: 500 PEOPLE SEEN AT MEDICAL & DENTAL CLINICS: 313

  • SECOND OUTREACH PROJECT: THE BRAZIL PROJECT: INDIGENOUS TRIBES MISSIONARIES EXPANSION JESUS' LAST WORDS WERE "GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS." FRONTLINE MISSIONS HAS ACCOMPLISHED THIS IN BRAZIL AND ACROSS THE NATIONS FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS. WE MARVEL AT THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD AS WE GROW OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH MULTIPLE INDIGENOUS TRIBES. WE ARE HONORED TO EMPOWER THEM TO REACH UNREACHED AND UNENGAGED VILLAGES TO TAKE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO PLACES OPEN ONLY TO THE INDIGENOUS. THIS IS THEIR HEART AND DREAM. SOME, SUCH AS THE INGARICO, WALK FOR DAYS, LOADED WITH FOOD AND SUPPLIES TO VARIOUS VILLAGES THROUGHOUT BRAZIL, VENEZUELA, AND GUYANA. FATHERS, MOTHERS, AND CHILDREN TOGETHER CROSS RIVERS, HIKE THROUGH DIFFICULT TERRAIN, AND SET UP CAMP NIGHTLY. WHEN REACHING NEW VILLAGES, THE LEADER TALKS TO THE CHIEF AND FINDS THE MAN OR WOMAN OF PEACE. THEY LEAD WORSHIP AND SHARE THE GOSPEL TO THE VILLAGE THROUGH STORYING AND SHOWING THE JESUS FILM, USING SOLAR-POWERED EQUIPMENT. WHEN THOSE THAT COME TO SALVATION HAVE NEED OF A CHURCH, THE INGARICO LEADER USES HIS OWN RESOURCES TO BUILD A CHURCH TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. MEANWHILE, THE LORD HAS ALSO CONNECTED US WITH CONPLEI, AN INTERNATIONAL INDIGENOUS MINISTRY RAISING UP LEADERS AMONG THE INDIGENOUS AND TRANSLATING THE BIBLE INTO THEIR LANGUAGES, WHICH SOMETIMES INCLUDES CREATING THE FIRST WRITTEN FORM OF THAT LANGUAGE. IN THE PAST YEAR, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH 22 INDIGENOUS MISSIONARIES. FRONTLINE'S BRAZIL PROJECT ALSO SERVES THE VENEZUELAN REFUGEES IN BOA VISTA, BRAZIL. THIS MINISTRY PROVIDES A PLACE OF SHELTER FOR REFUGEES, FEEDS THE HUNGRY DAILY, AND MINISTERS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO EMPOWER THE LOCAL BELIEVERS TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND MINISTRY THROUGH ENTREPRENEUR TRAINING AND MICRO-LOANS TO START THEIR OWN BUSINESSES. THIS TRAINING HAS ALLOWED THESE MINISTRIES TO BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT. AT FRONTLINE MISSIONS, OUR NATIONAL DIRECTORS PROVIDE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AMONG THE INDIGENOUS AND DISPLACED VENEZUELANS. 2024 ABBREVIATED BRAZIL STATISTICS: SALVATIONS AND RECOMMITMENTS: 11,557 PEOPLE FED: 16,639 TOTAL ATTENDING JESUS FILM: 3,125

  • THIRD OUTREACH: NEPAL EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN COLLEGE: SURPRISE ENCOUNTERS NEVER UNDERESTIMATE SURPRISE ENCOUNTERS. IN 2019, A NEPALESE PASTOR HAPPENED UPON A FRONTLINE MISSIONS PRAYER GATHERING AT THE ATLANTA AIRPORT. UPON SHARING HIS VISION FOR A BIBLE COLLEGE FOR THE UNDERPRIVILEGED, LOW- CASTE YOUTH OF HIS NATION, WE BEGAN A PARTNERSHIP. FIVE YEARS LATER, EVANGELICAL CHRSTIAN COLLEGE (ECC) OF NEPAL HAS FIFTY-SEVEN STUDENTS WITH GRADUATES WHO HAVE STARTED NINE CHURCHES THROUGHOUT NEPAL--WITH FIVE STARTED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WE ARE THE MAIN SUPPORT TO THIS COLLEGE. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, WE TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY THROUGH DIFFICULT TERRAIN TO FIVE OF THE NEWLY BIRTHED CHURCHES TO ENCOURAGE THE RECENTLY GRADUATED LEADERS, DEDICATED ONE OF THE GRADUATES' NEW CHURCHES, PROVIDED TRANSPORTATION FOR LEADERS IN REMOTE AREAS, AND HELD CONFERENCES WHICH WE FUNDED THAT WERE ATTENDED BY ABOUT 450 PEOPLE. WE ALSO SUPPLIED 17 SEWING MACHINES FOR WOMEN WHO HAD COMPLETED ECC'S TAILORING TRAINING OUTREACH, WHICH EMPOWERS UNDERPRIVILEGED WOMEN AND ALLOWS THEM TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR OTHERWISE DESTITUTE FAMILIES. THE STUDENTS OF EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN COLLEGE SERVE ON OUR WEEKLY INTERNATIONAL ZOOM PRAYER CALL, WHICH INCLUDES FRONTLINE MISSIONS LEADERS THROUGHOUT MANY NATIONS. THESE NOW BELIEVING STUDENTS, MANY WHO HAVE COME TO CHRIST FROM HINDU AND BUDDHIST BACKGROUNDS, LEAD WORSHIP AND PRAY WITH US FOR OUR LEADERS. THEIR LOVE AND ENTHUSIASM FOR JESUS CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM ARE CONTAGIOUS, RESULTING FROM THEIR DISCIPLESHIP AND STRENUOUS TRAINING. WATCHING THEM IMPLEMENT THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS THEY HAVE BEEN LEARNING HAS BEEN A GREAT PRIVILEGE. GRADUATING WITH A B.A. IN THEOLOGICAL STUDIES, THEY ARE SENT OUT TO START NEW CHURCHES, PASTOR ESTABLISHED CHURCHES OR SERVE THE BODY OF CHRIST IN VARIOUS WAYS TO EXPAND GOD'S EVER- INCREASING KINGDOM IN NEPAL. IT IS AN HONOR TO PARTNER WITH GOD IN HIS WORK IN NEPAL BECAUSE OF THIS SURPRISE ENCOUNTER 2024 ABBREVIATED NEPAL STATISTICS: PEOPLE FED: 347 BIBLE STUDIES STARTED: 14 IN DIFFERENT AREAS PEOPLE BAPTIZED: 37 CHURCHES STARTED: 9 PEOPLE MINISTERED TO: OVER 1,250

  • OTHER EXEMPT PURPOSES ACCOMPLISHMENTS: FOR OVER 25 YEARS, FRONTLINE MISSIONS (FM) HAS SENT MISSION TEAMS INTO BRAZIL, COLOMBIA, VENEZUELA, NICARAGUA, HONDURAS, GUYANA, SPAIN, FRANCE, AND NOW NEPAL. THE LIBERATING AND TRANSFORMATIONAL POWER OF THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST LEADS US ON OUR PATH. USING MISSION TEAMS TO ASSIST WITH FEEDINGS, MEDICAL CLINICS, DENTAL CLINICS, CHURCH CONSTRUCTION, EVANGELISM, DISCIPLING AND TRAINING LEADERS, GOSPEL OUTREACH TO INDIGENOUS TRIBES, ENABLES US TO SHARE THAT POWERFUL LOVE OF CHRIST. FRONTLINE MISSIONS PARTNERS WITH VARIOUS AMERICAN CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND INDIVIDUALS IN SENDING MISSIONARY TEAMS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS. OUR CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN DIRECTORS COORDINATE THE NATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MISSIONS WITH THE AMERICAN TEAMS, AS OUR HEADQUARTERS OVERSEES THESE PROJECTS. THESE MISSION TRIPS ARE LIFE-CHANGING LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR ALL WILLING TO GO; ALLOWING THEM TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, GROW SPIRITUALLY, AND TO WORK CLOSELY WITH OTHER PEOPLE GROUPS. IN AREAS THAT ARE MORE REMOTE, FRONTLINE IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH OTHER NATIONAL AND INDIGENOUS MISSIONARIES WHO ARE ABLE TO GO FURTHER DOWN INTO THE UNREACHED AND UNENGAGED INDIGENOUS VILLAGES WITH THE GOSPEL.
