What's New at Lost But Not Forgotten? (BLOG, updated 17 June 2009
The call came in. "I have good news and bad news", said Mike Nwosu, my
former director. "Pastor Phillip said the good news is that the church in
Zigage has quintupled in size to 25 adults. The bad news is there was a storm
which blew away the temporary church structure. He is afraid the people will
scatter and the muslims will blaspheme the Lord." I quickly prayed and felt
in my spirit the faith to proclaim to Mike, "within 48 hours the Lord will
provide $2,500 for you to go back and build a more permanent structure."
Within 24 hours the Lord provided the pledges for all the money. Within a
week construction had begun on a new structure. This one a mud-brick,
metal roof structure, pictured below. What satan meant for evil God meant
for good by providing His people with a better structure. The well has also
been drilled by another source. The two things the Holy Spirit told me to do
have already been accomplished in such a short period of time.
Recently we have had the opportunity to do the following:
 | | 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). |

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.

The Found People Christian Church of Zigage
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.
Everyone should have access to clean
water. You can help.
