Hi *{{First Name}}*,
In West and Central Africa, there are more than 31.5% of the population that are considered unreached. Yet, Christianity in Africa is spreading like fire! Since 2018, there are more Christians in the continent of Africa than any other continent in the world! The harvest is RIPE! And the need for training is critical! We help indigenous pastors train some of their flock to make disciples of their unreached neighbors.
In January, Justin and Benjamin (our Central African overseer and Chad Coordinator, respectively) went to the far east side of Chad against the Sudan border to begin an Arabic and French Live School among the Sudanese refugees there. We are helping another ministry train indigenous missionaries to reach six Unengaged Unnreached People Groups (UUPG) they are targeting. Justin and Benjamin got to meet the first converts of three of those UUPG's. At one of their meetings, a fourth individual from one of the UUPG's came to Christ! HALLELUJAH! IT IS HARVEST TIME!
This month, Justin will be leading a team of about 60 Live School graduates and another 50 leaders to Tandjile province in the south of Chad to blitz it with the Gospel. The area to which they are going is known for its witchcraft, but the power of the Gospel will crush it! They will evangelize the unreached, equip church leaders from the surrounding 53 villages and train facilitators to start many Live Schools for continued lasting impact!
Please take a minute to hear from Chip as he shares with you the details of the project.
THE VISION
We believe this project in the Tandjile Province of Chad will have a lasting impact! Pray and trust the Lord with us for the following results:
- That many unreached people come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, at least 3,000 of them
- To have Pastor Meetings to present Live School to 265 pastors
- To train 1,000 facilitators in how to use Live School
- To see 50 Live Schools start as a result in the Tandjile Province of Chad! HALLELUJAH! Dream and pray with us for this to happen and see the impact of the first intake of Live School students on this province!
- We expect a change in the people's spiritual and mental world view to occur, resulting in a change in behavior to God's glory!
- We expect Christian values to take root in the villages and the power of witchcraft be broken and JESUS TO BE EXALTED!
The budget of this Tandjile outreach is $15,000. An investment of any size will help. If we each do what the Lord directs, all the needs for this project will be met. Together we will see God do great things (John 17:20-23; Isaiah 1:19). To invest click the link below, or you may send a check.

Peggy Lewis began working for us as a bookkeeper, when we were cattle ranchers back in December of 2010. When we offered her the job and the Lord told her to take it, she asked the Lord, “Why do you want me to take this job? I am supposed to be involved in ministry.” None of us knew what the Lord had in store! Then the Lord told her that she would be part of our family. Her response was to say that she was married and had a house in Claremore. Little did she know that her office would soon no longer be at the ranch but in our home! Over the last decade, Peggy has become part of our family! Again, the word of the Lord has come true. God is faithful and will fulfill His promises to you. Trust Him.
Now that she has retired, I want to say the words that I know she will hear our Master saying one day, “Job well done!” Peggy will always be considered part of our family! May the Lord continue to bless her and her husband Gary, as He takes us all from faith to faith and glory to glory.
With Peggy retiring, we were somewhat concerned about finding the right person to continue her work. But the Lord is faithful and has brought us Gretchen Vanderpool. At the beginning of this year, Gretchen hit the ground running. Gretchen has been working to fulfill the Great Commission since 1997. She has been on the front lines, both on the mission field and in ministries stateside. As well as helping us, she serves on the pastoral staff of her church, The Church at Glass Chapel in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
If you have any questions pertaining to your giving, you can contact Gretchen at gretchen@sonriseintl.com.
