Message from the Executive Director

I heard a radio announcer comment the other day that the month of January derives its name from the ancient Roman god Janus. Janus was the animistic spirit of doors and archways. He was depicted with a double-faced head, enabling him to look simultaneously back at the past and forward to the future. Similarly, as our new year begins we often look both ways, too. We reflect on the past year and we pray and discern the way forward.

In 2017 we began operating under our new name, Frontier Fellowship, and launched new print and digital communication initiatives. We’re grateful for new opportunities to share stories of God at work with a wider audience and expand our vision to include new frontier mission fields. We also grew our team this year with the addition of several staff members who are helping us mobilize the Church throughout the US and beyond. Thanks for walking alongside us and supporting efforts to carry the Gospel to the frontiers of our world.

We explored new areas this past year as part of our vision to reach further. I traveled to visit friends in Thailand and Mongolia and caught glimpses of God at work in places that have long awaited Good News.

As 2018 begins, we keep looking toward least-reached areas where people are still waiting. The Buddhist world and places in Southeast Asia continue to be on our hearts. And we’re exploring the development of an intern program for young adults as they consider ways to serve unreached peoples.

We’re thankful for God’s provision and leading as we engage the Western Church to learn what God is doing in frontier regions and cities. We invite you to take your time reading and praying through the following pages as we reflect on how we’ve seen God’s hand at work.

We’re eager to discover signs of God’s Kingdom coming in this new year and invite you to journey with us as we pray, learn and support the work of our ministry partners around the world.
