Missions




Frontline Bible Church believes that all Christians have a responsibility to be engaged in world missions. We are called to spread the message of God’s grace to all the world. Engagement comes in many different forms; prayer, financial support, mission trips, projects, partnerships, and encouragement of missionaries. The Missions Committee at Frontline Bible Church meets at least once a month to prayerfully consider how we can strategically partner in world missions.

To request MISSIONS FINANCIAL SUPPORT (according to our GUIDELINES) please print and complete this form and return it to a member of the Missions Committee.

Missions Contribution Policy for trips:
Your generous contributions to support mission’s trips will be allocated to the designated person you are supporting.  Any contributions above and beyond the trip costs for the designated person will be allocated to the mission trips general fund for the next Frontline sponsored missions trip.

Mission Organizations We Support:

Grace Ministries International is an evangelical, Bible-believing, missionary sending organization committed to sharing God’s grace with the world by bringing people to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and incorporating them into strong, self-sustaining churches.




Word of Grace Mission
Since 1986 Word of Grace Mission has been committed to sharing the gospel of the grace of God. Faith in Christ is the only requirement to receive God’s gift of eternal life! Yet the majority of people alive today still believe in man’s efforts as the way to redeem himself. So, “…being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.” (Romans 10:3) What will their end be? Who will save them from it?

GOD’S TEACHINGS

Some of the generals things that I can say that God teach us, it was the “models”. We all have models, or styles that we learned, but when we arrived here, all these models, or styles were really different, to do Church here in Africa is way different than in America, even in South America where we are. And be humble and understand that “my model” or “my style” is not the correct or their model or style is not incorrect, is something that I learned. Sometimes the simplicity, and to see that with a few things people can praise the Lord and be thankful, joyful. We don’t need to many things for that, just a heart that is gratefully. A like Paul said “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV

PRAISE/PRAYER

Please Pray:

  • We’re looking to the Lord for wisdom regarding our son Mathias’ schooling. His studies are going well, but he has been expressing himself more about it lately, and we think it’s time to make some changes that will increase how much he benefits from his academic education.
  • I also would like to pray for a new student who wants to be trained in the Word for ministry: Yuri. He is very intentional in his studies, but has filled his plate too much and is struggling to find time for our sessions in Scripture.
  • For Mathias’s heart to always be willing to do God’s will as he grows.
  • For Mariana’s ministry with the ladies all over Brazil, as they dig deeper in the Word together.
  • For Mariana’s studies with BBI USA working towards a certificate.
  • For our leadership training through BBI Brazil, for the new courses we’re preparing to offer.
  • For our new Bible study with young people in the northern side of São Paulo, for growth in Christ.
  • For our church meetings in our home to grow and bear fruit.

Tom is currently reading in Ezekiel and Michelle is reading in the Psalms. We’ve been reading together Discovering Concepts that Build Christ-Likeness by Ken Nair.

God has been teaching us to be patient with the progress of the translation and literature work. We have hired meticulous translators who have been conscientious in their work for which we are grateful.  Everything will be finished in His good timing!

PRAISE/PRAYER

Praise: It looks like we have the pool of translators (Kirundi) we’ll need for Burundi Grace Bible Institute’s (BGBI) inaugural one-week session beginning November 24th.  We had 30+ applicants for the 20 slots. Everything is moving into place for BGBI.  The Lord has been answering above what we thought we should ask or think.
Prayer: There are Rotarians asking to assist in the creation of our Asian quarter ‘free clinic’ to expand what we do from our home using their resources including the issue of government permission.  The location that looks promising is across the street from a m*sque with its members passing that spot all the time, coming and going.

We just narrowed the BGBI applicants down to 20 + 2 translators doubling as students + 2 women who may attend from off-site. We pray that the Lord bless the students of His choosing to transform Burundi’s churches!  They will represent about 6-7 denominations whose Bible knowledge is being infused with dispensational concepts. Pray for our teaching schedules and relationship with Hope Africa University. The university is our sponsor which allows us to minister in Burundi.

  • One big project for this year is Chetra training up an eldership team with the support of our other team mate James. We have three Khmer men that are willing to take on this role and ultimately share the responsibility of leading the church in the future. Their names are Borey, Simon and Soy.
  • Chetra and I are planning to set up a social work team in the community to bridge the gap between inside the church and outside… It’s a big task to initiate and will take planning and good preparation, but we are super excited to get this going and get people involved!
Praise & Prayer

Please pray for our health! We have been unwell so frequently this past year, it has been quite tiring and disappointing too, but the Lord heals and we get through it. We just want a clean bill.of health for a longer period, and to get our energy back up!

Praise for breakthrough in conversations with our Buddhist family members about the Lord and slowly sharing more Biblical History and facts proven through prophecy!

I also praise God for my niece’s and nephews in the UK who are showing more sympathy and understanding towards God and the Christian life!

PROJECTS

I plan to build shops in the front of the school along the road. This will bring in some income for the school and the national work, lessening their dependence on outside help. With this new flexibility, they can plant more churches, train new pastors and missionaries, and partner with us in taking the Gospel to East Africa. Our idea is to use two old shipping containers and convert them into shops – maybe 6-8. We will hire a manager to oversee the shop management and ensure tenants pay their rent.

Hello Frontline Bible Church,

Greetings from Thika, Kenya where we are leaving the cold dry season and entering the hot dry season. We expect the short rains will begin in November. After two months of very little sun, we are excited to get the family out to get some Vitamin D. 

We stared homeschool a few weeks ago. One of our friends is watching Vivian during homeschool time so the others can focus. Vesper is in first grade and is enjoying her science book where she is learning about birds. It is fun to see her notice the birds more and more and she will remind us of facts that she has learned. Vernon is in sixth grade now and joined my Greek class that I taught in the Bible school. He really enjoyed the challenge and was at the top of the class. 

The following is an excerpt from our recent update on our Telegram channel:

As you know, Saturday and Sunday we had an evangelism mission with our students in Nairobi. 88 people were reached and 22 people came to belief in Christ the first day. Several of them even came to church yesterday. The church was packed. I taught the Bible study in the morning on the Day of the Lord. 

After the service we found that the speaker used for the open air meeting was broken and so the pastor made the decision to cancel the meeting that was scheduled for that evening. I had already decided to help the church out with buying a new speaker and so when I saw that they needed the speaker urgently, I gave them the money to buy it. The pastor rushed to town, bought the speaker, and the open air meeting continued as planned. Many people in the crowd stood up and testified about how God was working in their life and 3 people came to belief in Christ. I praise God for his provision when His people need it the most.

You have been such a source of encouragement to us and we appreciate all the love you have given to us over the years. Thank you for your support of us and our ministry. We fondly remember our time at your church last year! Thank you for going above and beyond in order to make the us feel welcome and special. May God continue to give you success in the ministries of your church.

In Christ and For His Glory,

  • For our kids’ ministries, that they can be reamplified and that we can also have more people helping us with the kids’ ministry
  • For more missionaries to come and help us here in Panama.
  • We have a small teenage group of guys (3), they are kind of going through a tough phase of not feeling like they belong to any of the church groups that we have. They are older than most of the other little kids yet younger than the college aged kids. We are praying that we can start a high school youth group next year 2024. We are also praying that we can send them this year to a teenage youth camp in Panama city this November so that they can be spiritually built up with other teenage Christian kids that are their age. This is something we are hoping and praying that some people may feel called to partner financially with us to help send these young men to the camp this November. The cost for each teenager to go to the youth camp is $100.00. If you know anyone that would be interested in partnering with us please put them in contact with me. Thank you.
  • We will be traveling to the US this July. We hope to stay for 6 months. Please pray that we are able to enter the US easily, that we are able to get some rest and that we have a good time of fellowship with family and with brothers and sisters in Christ while we visit churches.

GOD’S TEACHING

God has been teaching me sooo much… He has taught me how much I need to learn, that I don’t know it all. I have been learning that God called me to 1st spend time with Him, everything else can wait and comes after. God has taught me that I wasn’t as an adjustable as I thought and that I need to be humble and ask for help, I can’t do it on my own, and I don’t have to know everything, as I suspected, someone who is vulnerable is more teachable than someone who is not. I don’t have to have everything figured it out, in the way God will continue showing me what to do and what to say.

Elijah Hodgson:
He seems to be enjoying school. He would like to have a bit more of a social life outside of school and church activities.

Timmy Hodgson:
He is having some struggles in school again. We never did get him tested, but I am quite sure he has some type of dyslexia. He also might be a little ADHD inclined. So, he has some difficulty processing information, writing is very time consuming and difficult for him. He is super sensitive to the emotions of those around him and the mood of his environment, as well as anxious about having the attention of others on him. At the same time, he wants to do everything on his own without any help.
Please pray for wisdom for us as we try to help him have a positive school experience.

PRAYER/PRAISE
  • That we can buy land to put up our national headquarters. We want to build a multi-purpose facility for our conferences, camps, Bible school, and national offices. It will be our biggest project so far, but we believe it is time to step up in faith and see what GOD will do.
  • For Grace Outreach Ministries South Africa (GOMSA) leadership.
  • Their LOVE for the Lord, KNOWLEDGE of His Word, and PASSION for His Word will continue to grow more and more. South Africa and the Grace work need them.
  • For our health. A lot of sicknesses are going around in South Africa. Covid and other virus infections are increasing again. Many of our people are sick and unable to come to church.
  • For the economic situation in South Africa. The cost of living and gas and food prices are increasing. Many companies are closing due to long daily power outages.
  • On August 8-22, we will be traveling to Kenya (Africa). We are scheduled to teach at Kenya Grace Bible School from the 10th-17th and speak at their national conference from the 17th (afternoon)-the 20th. Things to Come Mission will pay for my (Dean) airfare, but we have to raise funds for Sheba, Shedea, and Shedesh’s airfares. We must get visas for the four of us and get yellow fever vaccines, as well. We want to raise at least $2000 for the trip to cover everything. Please pray for our health (Kenya is in the Malaria zone), safety (it is supposed to be a 5-hour flight, but direct flights are expensive. So, we want to get a 1-stop or multiple stops flight), and that we will be mutually blessed as we fellowship in the Word and with the believers there. Your gift for this trip will surely lighten our financial burden and make this trip possible. Please know that we appreciate your prayers and financial support. If you are interested in helping us raise this amount, you can send your gift to: THINGS TO COME MISSION PO Box 127 Beech Grove, IN 46107 Just put-Dean and Sheba-Kenya trip

PROJECTS

Our project has been the focus of our prayers and giving. It’s a $50,000 kickstart project to buy land and start the building. It’s the first time that we have had this massive project. It’s scary! Any amount going toward this project would lighten our burden and brighten the possibility of having our own ministry “home” soon.
