what people are saying

“Are you afraid to open your eyes and see death and destruction in the world? Dispatches from the Front will open your eyes to the great needs of the lost, enflame your heart to go to the nations, and give you the courage to carry on the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the glory of God. This is a bold call to action.”
–Burk Parsons, pastor, author, editor of Tabletalk magazine

“Dispatches is a bucket of ice water! You will wake up, then get angry, then get moving for Jesus.”
–David Hosaflook, missionary church planter, Albania

“Dispatches offers a potent reminder that in the darkest places, the gospel shines brightest. It should come with a warning label. Danger: Graphic scenes of mission reality that will disrupt your comfort and ignite your heart for God’s work on the frontlines. Pray, watch and act!”
–Dave Harvey, Sovereign Grace Ministries – Church Planting & Missiology

Dispatches is saturated with the brilliance of the Gospel. It is a travelogue of the soul-transforming power of life of Jesus Christ. Thank you for such a vivid narrative of how the righteousness of Christ is the only answer to the desperate need of mankind. The emphasis on the reliance of God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit fills this presentation and will impact all who see it. It will zealously challenge the hearts of Christ’s followers and direct the seeker to the One who is Truth. Praise God!
–Rick Cross, senior pastor, Faith Baptist Church, Longmont, CO

“Dispatches shows the Church forming organically and supernaturally like a modern-day book of Acts—and the form of the video mirrors this. It is travelogue-ish: a meditative, reflective journey. It goes beyond the pragmatic and pedestrian use of video to create something more like a parable which invites the viewer in and creates space for God the Holy Spirit to work.”
–Jeff Arthurs, professor of preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

Dispatches is like watching a reality television show. You feel like you are there, and you sense the emotions and crises of the people you meet on the screen; but it is not entertainment. It opens the vistas of spiritual reality, and after it is over you can’t just turn it off and walk away—you have to pray and say, “Lord, what would you have me do?”
–Mark Vowels, Director of Missions, Bob Jones University

From the teeming humanity of cities like Bangkok to the remotest outposts of civilization, Dispatches takes us on an eye-opening journey through the world of the “weak and despised” of South East Asia: women and children enslaved in the sex trade, AIDS victims on the brink of eternity, hungry street children, and lepers. Yet in the midst of this overwhelming despair, we meet people like Esther doing her “happy work” of service to the Lord, and many others like her who have become living testimonies of the freedom Christ alone offers. Your faith will be strengthened as you listen to these stories of everlasting hope in the face of the very shadow of death.
–Ellen Weaver, senior advisor to U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, Washington, DC

Frontline Missions is perhaps too modestly named. Its ministry often reaches behind the frontlines to those areas and peoples that are in greatest need of hearing the soul-saving gospel of Christ and receiving the compassionate assistance of God’s people. These ministries aren’t carried on in “hit and run” fashion. Care is taken to train Christian leaders and to raise up and nourish responsible churches that will carry the work forward into the otherwise uncertain future of unreached and unbelieving peoples all around the world.
–Dr. David J. Hesselgrave, Emeritus Professor of Missions, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, co-founder and past president, The Evangelical Missiological Society

“In Dispatches from the Front: Islands on the Edge the stories are powerful because the Gospel is powerful. We made this DVD presentation the focal point of a Sunday evening service recently, and the Lord used it to cause our people to “lift up their eyes and look on the fields” in new and fresh ways—seeing the faces, hearing the voices, and sharing in the sorrows and joys of our brothers and sisters in southeast Asia.”
–Dan Brooks, senior pastor, Heritage Bible Church

“Dispatches is a powerfully-convicting and highly-motivating portrait of the advance of the Gospel in some of the most difficult circumstances on the planet. I’ve been showing this DVD and loaning my 2 copies out to everyone who will take the time to watch it. Prepare for a rebuke and motivation to our comfortable Christianity!”
–Jeremy McMorris, youth pastor, Hampton Park Baptist Church

“Paul tells us that the gospel comes to people (Colossians 1:5-6). The gospel, in a manner of speaking, searches people groups out in every corner of the world, and when it comes to them, it wonderfully bears fruit and grows among them (v. 6).Dispatches from the Front provides us with an inside look at the gospel doing its life-changing work in the forgotten places of the world. If you want to expand your vision of what God is doing in the world through the gospel, Dispatches from the Front will serve you, your family, and your church family extremely well.”

–Dan Cruver, Director of Together for Adoption
