What's New at Lost But Not Forgotten? (BLOG, updated 29 July 2010)
The church in Guidimouni is completed and pictured below. Now we need
prayer that the Lord fill it with disciples of His and that the EERN
provide the pastor as they had promised. Follow-up trips to Guere have
been accomplished and outreaches to villages across the Sahara also
performed with much difficulty. Results have been modest but about 200
people came to know the Lord. A mix of Housa and Manga.
E had a chance to win a friend of A to the Lord in Guere. That makes two
generations of believers as a result of our trips to Niger. It only takes one
man to start a fire. One believer who is passionate about Jesus can change
the whole city. A, is that man we believe.
Our next excursion will be in October in Chad. We plan to reach the K.
They are a people held in bondage for 1000 years to the enemy. Very few
believers, some missionaries. Maybe one church if any. It is very remote
and even by the quickest means it will take us 6-7 days to reach the first
village.
I am excited to say one of our pastors, the brother of our senior pastor
will be attending. He is extraordinarily gifted in media. More importantly
he has a heart for children and for the lost. He is not interested in
"playing" short-term missionary, he really wants to go to the unreached,
to the Lost But Not Forgotten. Welcome along J, you will get your wish
(LOL!).

Recently we have had the opportunity to do the following:
 | Plant a church in a town in Niger. | |
| Conduct a crusade in N. Cameroon. Two hundred made decisions, 100 came to | |
| worship the next day. | ||
| Led about 1,000 people to the Lord in Niger. | |
| Plant four churches among muslim villages in N. Togo. | |
| Conduct two crusades among muslims in N. Nigeria. | |
| Visit two major unreached tribes in West Africa according to the Joshua Project. | |
| Travel to Cameroon and plant the first publicly accepted Christian church among | |
| the Kanuri. Sow seeds of the Word in three other villages. | ||
| Lay hands on the sick and see them made well (dozens of miracle healings). | |
| Conduct two crusades bringing many Kanuri into relationship with Jesus. | |
| Return to Gances, welcomed by the balama and preach to many. Including two secret | |
| believers. Do follow-up work in this village. | ||
| Collect or receive pledges for 50% of the money needed for the well in Zigage. | |
Overview of Lost But Not Forgotten
This organization is committed to reaching out to people in the 10/40 window, particularly
in Africa, who are highly ranked on the Joshua Project list (see link).

A Little About What We Do
We recognize that what we do best is to reach out to small villages with the good news of the
Savior and to provide some temporary humanitarian aid in hard to reach areas. Although,
little is deemed beyond the scope of the ministry if the Lord leads us, the efforts are focused
on evangelism and church planting. Drilling, and building are things we hope to do where
possible.

It is children like this one (left), our LBNF
poster-girl, who keep us coming back and
pressing forward to take the gospel of Jesus to
the unreached people of the Northern Corridor of
West Africa. What I call the Lost But Not
Forgotten. Why should these children suffer
unnecessarily?
With your help we can bring them clean water,
build schools and churches, and most
importantly, bring them Jesus.

Why are some of the faces blacked out, and
aliases used on this website?
Unfortunately in this day and age, there is
more opposition to the gospel of Jesus then at
any other time in our existence. If you doubt
this then I suggest you read Voice of the
Martyrs (VOM). As ministers of the gospel in
volatile, restricted, and dangerous areas we
make security a priority, especially with our
local partners. Ministering to muslims is
illegal in some of the areas we venture into,
yet we choose to obey God rather than man,
and so do our partners. So it may look weird,
you may think it is unnecessary, but our
experience and that of colleagues suggests
otherwise. Thank you for your understanding.
