"Look for the bridge that God's already created"

Touching the world Frontier Mission style


John Buckingham, an activist member of a smaller Presbyterian church in Alabama, knew what he wanted. "Our church needs something that's going to take us outside ourselves, that is going to be so big that when it happens, we'll know it wasn't us. We'll know God was in it."

Buckingham and his church found it in pursuing frontier mission among an unreached people group through Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship.

Read about it in The Presbyterian Outlook's article entitled, "A Miraculous connection - An Alabama church finds its mission in a Cambodian village," by Outlook National Reporter Leslie Scanlon.

Scanlon writes about how a church from Moody, Ala. -- "a pretty typical Presbyterian congregation, fairly small, more one-tone than ethnically diverse -- ended up dedicated heart-and-soul to an impoverished village in Cambodia."

It's a heart-warming story. As those churches who have entered into direct participation in frontier mission readily testify, this frontier mission catalyst will turn your church rightside-up and outside-oriented up no matter what size you are.
