    COMMENDED FOR." HEBREWS 11:1-2

    This year will mark the eighth year that the

    Lord has partnered us with Awan Chatarpal and the

    Indians of Roraima, Brazil. I am enthusiastic about

    what the Lord is doing after a year of death threats,

    sickness, slanderous lies, car wrecks, historical

    floods, lack of money, cancelled training sessions,

    and key leaders quitting in discouragement. Yet

    through it all the team made bold declarations for

    2008. After three weeks of ministry with Alan Win-

    ter, the team declared that they were given hope,

    encouragement, health, strength and love in ex-

    change for despair, sickness, discouragement,

    weakness and rejection. In December of 2007 this

    energized team made a declaration of ten exploits

    for our Lord Jesus Christ to accomplish in 2008.(turn to the next page for the details of these declarations)

    HONDURAS: BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING

    In January and February, Frontline hosted three teams from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from

    Redeemer Lutheran of Marquette, Sion Lutheran of Chatham and Saints Peter & Paul Lutheran of Hancock.

    The teams held nine medical-dental clinics, and saw 1857 patients with 178 commitments for Christ. We

    constructed a church in Carrizal Lunes and a medical clinic in Mata Palo.

    Our time in Mata Palo was clearly one of the highlights of ministry in Honduras. The Christian village,located in a beautiful valley and home to some of the finest people on earth, can only be reached by a five-

    hour drive by four-wheeler and then another three-hour walk. They are planted amidst ten non-Christian vil-

    lages and have not been able to reach these villages for Christ due to generational feuds. They wanted a

    medical clinic (the nearest one is a twelve-hour walk) in order to serve the other villages, share Christ's love,

    and plant churches in all ten villages. While we were there, 31 people from other villages accepted Christ.

    The blessing has begun.

    We were not able to finish the building during our stay due to cost overages and time constraints. We

    need another $3000 to finish the building correctly. Originally, we were going to build a smaller building in

    another village but had to change plans three weeks prior to the trip because they were unwilling to help us.

    Mata Palo began working before the first visit by the Honduran leaders. They also fed us, all 42 of us, and

    hauled in all of our supplies exuberantly.

    Our Honduran partners, along with Frontline, look forward to helping the Church in Mata Palo fulfill

    their dreams in the Lord.

    GUYANA: LIGHT IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS

    Pastor Mohammed Fizul Hack of Living Fountain Ministries of Mahiaca, Guyana, honored Alan by

    asking him to bring the Easter dedication message for their newly finished church building. This service

    promised to be an unusual one. Pastor Hack's family moved to the area in 1908 and were responsible for

    starting the two Islamic mosques in the area. He is the only believer amongst his Muslim family who are

    highly influential in government, Islam, and business. After serving the Lord faithfully for forty years, Pastor

    Hack has recently received the honor of being called "The Pastor of Mahaica" by both the Christian and non-Christian community.

    Reporting from Mahaica, Guyana, Alan brings back great news about this service! The congregationof Living Fountains Ministries is normally about 100 to 125 people, but for this service all 500 chairs were

    filled, with 50 or so more people standing! Other curious people, most likely Hindu or Muslim, were lingering

    outside the door. It was said that half of the people attending were those whom Pastor Fizul, through the

    years, had prayed would receive salvation in Christ. Over 25 pastors of various nearby locations were

    among the crowd. A few came from Venezuela. Since Alan was concerned about the service lasting toolong, he only preached for around 30 minutes (that's short for Guyana) and brought the service to a close.

    Numerous people came up to him afterwards, telling him he should have preached longer and asking him toplease come to their services to preach or dedicate their churches. The Guyanese hold a very grand cele-

    bration in times like these; not only did the service last nearly four hours, but the believers at that church fedeveryone afterwards! Can you imagine cooking chicken and rice for 500?

    THANKS for your prayers and support that are ever constant. We couldn't do this without each andeveryone of you! Please join with us as we seek the Lord for an increase in Frontline's general finances.
