RESPONDING to RAMADAN with DIGITAL EVANGELISM
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of Faith.” Galatians 6:9-10
Mobilise Prayer for the Muslim World
Today marks the start of Ramadan, the Islamic prayer month, normally characterised by communal prayers and sprawling night time meals breaking each day’s dawn to dusk fast. However, this year, with nearly all of the worlds’ two billion Muslims under some form of lockdown, authorities in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and elsewhere in the Muslim world have closed mosques and limited meals to homes, banning large gatherings. This is a good time to initiate focused prayer for Muslims. Click here for the Prayer Guide. Please join us in praying for the Muslim world. You can find a PDF poster designed by Frontline: Pray for the Muslim World on our www.FrontlineMissionSA.org website, to view, share, download, or print out. We are joining with other missions to the Muslim world in mobilising 30 days of focused prayer, for the Lord to do a mighty work in the hearts of Muslims worldwide. You will find articles, audios, videos and links on our www.FrontlineMissionSA.org website and on our Frontline Fellowship and Muslim Evangelism Facebook pages, to help you mobilise informed and strategic prayer for Christian communities and missionaries in the Muslim Middle East, particularly in North Africa. “Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him and His enemies will lick the dust… all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him.” Psalm 72:9-11
The Message of Nabi Isa
By God’s grace, the www.TheMessageofNabiIsa.org website is up and available. Based on the lifelong work of Missionary to Muslims, Gerhard Nehls, a long-time friend of our Mission. Colin has designed this website as a resource for Muslim evangelism. It includes: The Message of Nabi Isa (the Lord Jesus), designed to explain the Gospel for Muslims. It is available in both video and PowerPoint format. Hunter has just finished the video editing of The Message of Nabi Isa. Also, on the website is Dear Abdullah (the correspondence designed by Gerhard Nehls to interact with Muslims and guide them step by step to understand the teachings of the Bible and to answer frequently asked questions). The website also includes a copy of the Injil (The Gospels of our Lord Jesus Christ). This is a wonderful online resource for evangelising and reaching Muslims with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in a way that is culturally appropriate and specifically designed to reach Muslims. This website and video have the potential to reach many hundreds of thousands of Muslims worldwide. Please share it with Muslim friends, neighbours and contacts, or share with others that you are in correspondence with, or who live in communities where there are Muslims. “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations.” Psalm 22:27-28

Redeeming the Time
Although our cross-border missions to Zimbabwe, Kenya and Sudan have had to be put on hold during these enforced lockdowns, our Mission is as busy and productive as ever. We praise God for the ongoing ministry of the millions of Bibles, books and Gospel booklets we have distributed throughout Africa, which continue to work, even when we are not able to travel to those countries. Our Library donations and online resources are continuing to bring a stream of correspondence and online counselling opportunities. Aside from online radio and T.V. interviews, correspondence, research and writing, completing book projects, proof reading translations and preparing materials for printing, I have also been involved with daily P.T. with my family, fixing, repairing, sorting, organising, cleaning gutters, Bible studies, prayer and hymn singing, family worship services and catching up on reading important books, which will enrich our ministry. Frontline Fellowship has strategically concentrated on Leadership Training and Literature distribution over the last 38 years and we praise God that this continues to bear fruit. “For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
