Frontline Missions

First outreach: honduras - the tolupan people: forgotten no more 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 is being raised up in this mountainous area of honduras. One of their chiefs and his eight children have recently joined the water- baptized tolupan. This same chief also stated his desire to follow the lord and stepped into marriage as taught in the bible with his 'common-law wife' of many years. Biblical marriage has not been a part of the tolupan culture, but the chief's decision is changing the whole tribe's perspective. We continue to bring teams to flower mountain who share the love of jesus in word and in deed. We look to the leadership of the tolupan, our own honduran director and pastor to find practical ways we can serve and assist. A new request is to protect the tolupan language by hiring an elementary tolupan teacher. Over many years, Frontline has been privileged to have a coordinator that designs, assigns, and inspects the jewelry that the tolupan artisans create. This jewelry provides for the funding of their children's education. Another way to minister to the people is through handwritten letters which accompany school supplies that are given out in multiple villages. These notes are written by american elementary students who also raise money to send the supplies. This allows the whole sending school to have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of christ whether they are young and write notes, or if they are older and experience the mission trips. Our short-term missionaries get to witness pre-med and pre- dental experiences as well as contribute to construction projects in the community. In the past, the tolupan people were unable to feel or express emotion, trapped in a culture beaten down by oppression and fear over many years. Yet, despite their painful past, the gospel of jesus christ is doing its work, transforming the tolupan into the joyous and peaceful people they were meant to be those who were once considered "forgotten" on flower mountain are "forgotten no more." 2023 abbreviated honduras statistics salvations and recommitments: 323 people fed: 10,500 people seen at medical & dental clinics: 329

Third outreach: venezuela - bringing light into the darkness perhaps the most difficult area of ministry is venezuela. There are far more challenges than we in america can imagine. However, while many venezuelans flee the country due to hardships, our team presses on and shares the good news of jesus christ as a shining beacon of hope in the darkness. Our team is undeterred despite persecution, runaway inflation, gas rationing, food shortages, and great difficulty receiving needed medical treatment. They gather together regularly for prayer, worship, and evangelism. One team travels consistently to hospitals and jails with nourishing food they prepare to feed the hungry. Hospital supplies are so meager that medicine and food are not part of patient care. Family or friends must provide these supplies. The hospital staff gladly welcome our team as they share food and the good news, worship inside the hospital, and pray for the sick. After care and prayer inside, the local people join a worship service in the parking lot that they call their "hospital church." Our other team pastors a church where intercessions and worship are held daily. They also go into the streets, using the jesus film resources, and share the gospel of jesus christ in their surrounding areas. Their faithfulness and love for each other and the community impact those around them as they hand out bread to the starving. Amid this darkness, his light continues to shine. 2023 abbreviated venezuela statistics salvations and recommitments: 242 people fed: 29,257 total attending jesus film: 1,425

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 continually sow into 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, exponentially expanding our reach to the indigenous. The brazil project also serves the venezuelan refugees in boa vista through two churches. These provide a place of shelter for refugees, feed the hungry daily, and minister the gospel of jesus christ to those in the community. Hundreds have come to christ through their ministries. These leaders also disciple and raise up leaders among the refugees. Although Frontline continues to fund these works, we have also given them opportunities to provide for their own families and ministry through entrepreneur training. This training has given these ministries an opportunity to become self-sufficient. These leaders among the indigenous and the venezuelan refugee outreaches are impacting brazil with the gospel of jesus christ and growing the kingdom of god in their respective communities. At Frontline Missions we empower and prepare our directors and indigenous missionary leaders to do the work of the ministry. Our brazil directors are boots on the ground in brazil to strategize, encourage, and meet the needs of our indigenous leaders who can take the gospel of jesus christ where the non-indigenous cannot go. We rejoice in the advancement of the gospel through those who pour out their lives to further god's kingdom in the nation of brazil. 2023 abbreviated brazil statistics salvations and recommitments: 3,941 people fed: 16,346 total attending jesus film: 2,187

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.
