FMI is dedicated to being a voice to defend persecuted believers in other countries, along with our ongoing efforts to take the Gospel into restricted access countries. Many of these persecuted believers are on the frontlines witnessing for Christ in areas that are hostile to the Gospel. They are shining as lights in very dark areas of the world that are dominated by Islam, Hinduism, and totalitarianism. Will you commit yourself to pray and to be a voice on behalf of those who have no voice?
Please partner with us in prayer, especially for those faithful believers who are serving Christ in difficult places. If you would like to receive monthly prayer requests through our e-mail prayer group called the Haystack Group, please e-mail us at

Mission:
As a mission we have a key objective and a core strategy. Our key objective is to advance the Gospel and form vibrant, Word-centered, disciple-making churches, especially in those regions of the world that have the least Light. We are driven by the same desire that animated the Apostle Paul who said it was always his ambition to preach the Gospel where Christ was not known (Romans 15:20 ). How do we pursue our goal? We do so by equipping Christians on the frontlines to reach their own people for Christ, by forming strategic partnerships with them, and by developing creative platforms in those areas of the world closed to traditional missions. For nearly 20 years Frontline Missions has worked among people in areas of war, persecution, and poverty, primarily in restricted-access countries, seeking to strengthen the Church, give voice to persecuted Christians, and proclaim the Good News.

Sudan, the largest country in Africa, has been in the midst of a civil war for over 20 years. The Muslim militia in the North, known as the Janjaweed, has killed approximately 300,000 people in the predominantly Christian southern part of Sudan, especially among the Dinka people group. In addition, over 200,000 more from the South have been taken as slaves for Muslim families in the North and forced to convert to Islam. Still people are coming to Christ in the South in large numbers, even in the midst of persecution. Pray for God's grace for these believers to stand strong for Christ and that many Muslims will come to salvation.
Nigeria's predominantly Muslim northern sector continues to be a killing field for Christians. In March radical Muslims murdered nearly 500 Christians with machetes, including many women and children. At least three pastors were killed, nearly 100 houses destroyed, and ten church buildings burned. Jotham Kangdim, a Nigerian pastor, said, "I have chosen the way of the cross, therefore wherever it leads me I will go." Pray that God will use the testimony of believers like this to bring many Muslims to saving faith in Christ.

Dear Pastor Wright and church family:
Our year is getting off to a good start, and I hope yours is too. Thank you for your gift to this ministry and for your partnership with us in the new year!
I recently received a letter from a Frontline family who is planting a church in Bosnia. Their city was devastated in the war, and deep divisions remain. Of course, the biggest division is the one between those who are lost and the Saviour, and Vladimir and Marijana are addressing that need every way they can. Let me let Marijana tell you about a recent outreach when she invited 30 children into her apartment to celebrate Christmas and gave them packages and Bibles. Here's a portion of her translated letter:
The children were excited since they never before celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ. One small boy said, "I was never present at anybody's birthday party and never received a gift before. " His eyes were full of tears. After the presentation of what the Lord has done for us and the Gospel that I shared with the children, I wanted to have feedback from them to see if they retained any of what I talked to them about. All of them were speaking from the top of their voices that Jesus came for us, gave His life for us, and resurrected so that we could live like He did. " After that they were willing to share from their own packages to give to the children in even greater need. All of them participated in that. Before they left, they asked me, "When are we going to have another party like this?" One of them said, "We should celebrate the Lord's birth every day!" Yes, good idea--celebrate the Lord's birth every day, as well as His finished work on the Cross, His empty tomb, and His unending life that is ours too in Him. Praise the Lord for the Gospel!
Please pray with us that this year will see this message go further, crossing every political, geographic, and spiritual boundary in its way. We are counting on your prayers for us and thank the Lord for your partnership in the path ahead this year. God bless you.
