What's New at Lost But Not Forgotten? (BLOG, updated 24 April 2011)
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. | |
| Lead another 1,000 to Jesus in Tahoua and Agadez areas of Niger. | |
| Lead a prominent chief to the Lord in the villag eof G in Niger. | |
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. Building churches, schools and medical clinics 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.

We give praise and thanks to the Father for allowing us to be part of
such a move of God among some unreached people in Niger this past
month. As I mentioned previously, we had the opportunity to go to
three villages near Tahoua and three near Agadez. The Tahoua villages
proved to be the most fruitful, mostly because of the tutoring of the
Lord while we were in Kano, Nigeria. As we looked for the Jesus film in
Hausa, our van was commandeered by two young men claiming we
were missing some sticker on the windshield. The police came and we
detoured back to the ECWA guesthouse. While there M contacted a
representative of the Mission Hospital there who talked us out of
trouble. In addition he told M, "I have the Jesus film I will give you a
copy", praise God. Then a local missionary instructed me in how to
reach the Hausa. Using his advice we were able to reach about 1,000
Hausa for Jesus in the first three villages.
In the Agadez area we were able to reach another 100+ Tamajeq. In
total we treated about 750 sick children. On the way back to Nigeria we
stopped in Zinder, led a man to Christ then went back to G where we
had planted a church last year. I had been praying to reach the chief
for whom I had a fond affection. We were told he would not be there
but we went anyway and prayed God would cause him to stay. He was
there. After greeting, I asked him if I could fulfill a dream of sharing
Jesus with him. He agreed and 20 minutes later prayed to receive Jesus.
When I asked him about why he was there he said, "last week I was
gone everyday to Zinder, but for some reason today I could not leave.
Now I know it was the Lord."
