Donate to Phinehas and Deborah

Phinehas and Deborah are in a creative access location working with local believers to equip leaders, facilitate church planting and build gospel relationships. They are working primarily with three local tribes, reaching out to them with the message of Jesus.

They were called to serve in global mission in 2003 after serving in their home church for many years. They and their two teenage daughters love Jesus and are walking in His grace in response to His faithfulness to them over the years.

The challenges of their ministry include not only reaching out to the unreached with the gospel but also leading teaching and discipleship classes to help equip local church leaders to effectively lead, serve and plant churches in their home country.

Amelia* serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Give thanks that her language learning continues to improve and that her friends and neighbours are patient with her as she picks up the basics. She asks us to pray for the Holy Spirit to guard her heart against pride and comparison in her language classes, as it can be difficult to feel that others are improving faster than her or can be tempting to press on in pride when she feels she is doing better. Pray she would continue to have a soft heart before the Lord and before her neighbours as she learns to be content in her dependence on others to communicate.

Graham and Fiona* are in a creative access location they fondly refer to as ‘Wonderland’. They returned to ‘Wonderland’ last week. Pray that they will cope well with the heat and that God will bless them with sustained good health and energy to enable them to resume winding down their ministry in Wonderland and prepare the logistics of saying goodbye. Pray that as they approach their retirement God will provide local believers to take their place to continue their ministry and that many more will hear and continue hearing the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ.

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity. LEARN MORE

Church Development

We hope that our church development work with local African churches will lead them to be centres of hope and love that draw more people to Jesus. LEARN MORE
