Over the past few years, Jenni and I have been deeply moved, encouraged, and challenged by four DVDs produced by Frontline Missions:
For nearly 20 years Frontline Missions International 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 preach and publish the Good News.

About Dispatches from the Front
Endorsements
Are you afraid to open your eyes and see death and destruction in the world? Dispatches from the Front will open your eyes to the great needs of the lost, enflame your heart to go to the nations, and give you the courage to carry on the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the glory of God. This is a bold call to action.
–Burk Parsons, pastor, author, editor of Tabletalk magazine
Dispatches offers a potent reminder that in the darkest places, the gospel shines brightest. It should come with a warning label. Danger: Graphic scenes of mission reality that will disrupt your comfort and ignite your heart for God’s work on the frontlines. Pray, watch and act!
–Dave Harvey, Sovereign Grace Ministries – Church Planting & Missiology
Frontline Missions is perhaps too modestly named. Its ministry often reaches behind the frontlines to those areas and peoples that are in greatest need of hearing the soul-saving gospel of Christ and receiving the compassionate assistance of God’s people. These ministries aren’t carried on in “hit and run” fashion. Care is taken to train Christian leaders and to raise up and nourish responsible churches that will carry the work forward into the otherwise uncertain future of unreached and unbelieving peoples all around the world.
–Dr. David J. Hesselgrave, Emeritus Professor of Missions, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, co-founder and past president, The Evangelical Missiological Society
Paul tells us that the gospel comes to people (Colossians 1:5-6). The gospel, in a manner of speaking, searches people groups out in every corner of the world, and when it comes to them, it wonderfully bears fruit and grows among them (v. 6). Dispatches from the Front provides us with an inside look at the gospel doing its life-changing work in the forgotten places of the world. If you want to expand your vision of what God is doing in the world through the gospel, Dispatches from the Front will serve you, your family, and your church family extremely well.
