A few thoughts from Jon Nelms
This past summer was unbelievable; in fact, it was a missionary’s dream. Let me tease you by saying we opened a new feeding center without expecting to. Then, the village gave us land so we could build the center and have space for their very first church! Another feeding center among the Tolupan Indians is in the process of opening, and five other Tolupan villages have asked for a feeding center/church. Each is willing to donate the land we will need to construct a facility. We have initiated the process of establishing a new Bible Institute to train all the pastors we will need for our upcoming works. But I’ll say no more here and let you enjoy a detailed account of most everything that happened in the articles within. (Many hundreds saved, many baptized, and many beginning discipleship.)
Next week, Nolin and I will return to Honduras to distribute 2,220 bags of Christmas gifts to children who may have never received one before. All these were donated by the team from IMPACT OTHERS. We are thankful to the staff and their founder, Eddie Wilson, for generously providing these and for taking the time to help us distribute them.
They have also arranged for a new Texas restaurant to donate a plate of food to our Honduras feeding centers every time they sell a plate in their establishment.
We are also working on another monumental project, which I will not reveal yet. Still, it will be a global ministry change of significant proportions, perhaps even greater than the moment when God led me to be the first of His servants to start a ministry to support national church planters. Final Frontiers has been emulated and copied by numerous other ministries, and this new ministry will likely follow suit. By the way, this past September marked the 41st anniversary of our beginning. At least one new ministry per year has adopted our ministry philosophy, including many who previously claimed we were unbiblical and that I would destroy modern missions. One even said I was the Antichrist. Ouch!
I’m so thankful to you for catching the vision and sharing it with me, not only in prayers but also in deeds. Your generous gifts shackled to the plow of the national preachers have broken through the fallow fields of the world. Now, where Christ was unnamed and unknown, His glory is shouted from mountaintops, across rivers, over deserts and wastelands, and the Great Commission is likely less than a decade from being fulfilled.
Next summer already has four weeks booked, so don’t procrastinate. Additionally, starting January 2026, we will be open for Visionary Trips throughout the year. Now, Seniors can come at their leisure, and we can design the week just for your specific needs and limitations.
