Frontline Leaves Its Mark

The Frontline team is now gone, but they have left numerous changed lives in their wake. In the weeks to come there will be some incredible testimonies about their ministry in the villages online for you to be encouraged by, but until then I thought I’d explain how they impacted me.

Frontline was a college-aged team that stayed with us for almost 2 weeks, and in that short time span, I saw a powerful God in them. I guess you could characterize them by saying that they were on fire for Him, but that doesn’t do them justice. The one thing I valued most was the fact that they’ve gotten to a place that few others have, and even fewer at their age. Their lives have no boundaries; they haven’t compartmentalized their life to the point where the world and God never intermingles. In fact, God is in every aspect, but not overbearingly. It’s not like they came with something to prove; they just live in a way that reflects Him, that screams His name loudly with every breath, but is so unimposing at the same time.

In them I saw a promising future; something I haven’t been able to wrap my mind around for a long time. Even though the Church is constantly growing and that means that there should be even more people for the mission field, we’re plagued daily by reports of how poorly our youth are growing up. We’ve seen growth in missions, but nothing like the growth in our modern world. But they proved, in a week and a half, that young people do have the potential to change this world. Not only do they have potential, but they are drastically changing the world already.

   To God be the glory for all He has done in the lives of each team member and those they have touched. “So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. ” 1 Corinth. 3:7-9
