London Bridges

sinnfamily — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:21:01 +0000

London Bridges is a project that is held each summer in London reaching out to visitors from the western half of the 10.40 window. It is sponsored by the JESUS film project and over the years has led to fruit. This summer, I am planning a supervisory trip to encourage the “national” team who comes in and leads the project. The fun part is that I will get to participate and hang out with them throughout one of the cycles. (The project takes place over the course of 2.5 months in the summer, with different teams and groups of participants joining in for each 7-10 day cycle). But the best part is that Andi will get to join me on this trip. She is very excited and is busy sending out her letters asking people to join her through prayer and giving. You can read a copy of her letter here, and make a donation by clicking here. Thank you for your partnership and prayers.

“New Birth” Days

sinnfamily — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:53:25 +0000

Nada*, a national believer really struggled to step out of her comfort zone. After praying for courage, she approached a young lady at the port, named Fatima. Nada was able to share the gospel message, and Fatima prayed to receive Christ, saying, “Today is my ‘new birth’ day!” At about the same time, another believer, unknowingly, shared the gospel with Fatima’s sister. She too prayed for Jesus to come into her life and forgive her. Now Fatima and her sister share a “new birth” day in Jesus.

Jesus Film – Spiritual Movements

sinnfamily — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:47:00 +0000

I was recently made aware of this new video that explains our ministry with JESUS film very well. It is 9 minutes long, but I think it is worth watching. I have placed it on our vision page as well as here. In Jim’s new role, he is the glue that fits the various parts and strategies together for the leaders on the field in the western part of the 10/40 window.

Current Prayer Requests

sinnfamily — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 22:18:00 +0000

As you may know, we are currently working on our financial support. We are trusting God for the equivalent of 17 new partners pledging $100/month.

I will be traveling to Jacksonville nearly every week for a few days to meet with prospective ministry partners. Please pray for open doors, and especially energy for Cherie as I leave her with the kids while I’m traveling and for me too. I have been making the trip several weeks in a row now and I feel I am losing steam.

If you are already partnering with through prayer or giving we appreciate you very much! We couldn’t persevere without your partnership with us. It is a privilege to represent you in what God is doing in the western half of the 10/40 window. We hope that you feel you share a part of what God is doing there.

If you are not presently giving or receiving our monthly updates, we would love to invite you to be a part of our team. You can make a gift by clicking here (or on the “partnership” tab above) to go to our partnership page. If you would like to be added to our ministry updates, click here (or on the “contact us” tab above) and fill out the contact form.

Exciting Changes

Excerpt from our most recent prayer letter

We have recently made a transition to an exciting new position within Campus Crusade. As of June 15, we are now working with the JESUS Film project as the Strategy Coordinator for 30 countries in the western part of the 10/40 window (for security reasons I can’t be more specific).

My responsibilities will include helping the national leaders in each of these countries develop and implement strategies for reaching their countries through use of the JESUS Film and related materials.

As you probably know, the JESUS film is taken from the gospel of Luke, historically and biblically depicting the life of Jesus (and has been translated into 1004 languages). It offers a straight-forward presentation of Christ’s life and how someone can know God personally. The following is a letter from a seeker in a closed country in the 10/40 window after receiving an audio version of JESUS:

“To fill my curiosity, I went to the internet and started to read about Jesus. Truly, I come from a very conservative Religious family, and have everything this world has. I have no chance in this life and I am in despair. I have never found my rest and happiness. When a friend gave me a cassette about the life of Jesus, I . . . took a chance and wrote to you. I want Peace, even a little bit. I really ask for your help . . . I am sure that this beautiful Christianity will help me . . . I look forward to getting an answer from you soon.”

We are excited about this new direction for us especially because it allows us to work directly with the staff in these 30 countries.
