Paul writes in Romans 15:20, " It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation" (NIV).
The goal of all JESUS Film Mission Trips is to help reach some of the world's least evangelized people. Guinea-Bissau is unique among West African nations in that it is largely untouched by both Islam and the gospel. Yet there is a great spiritual hunger and Islam is starting to move in as well.
The goal of this trip to give training to existing Christians and pastors on how to help new believers grow in their faith and to share their faith using the JESUS Film. Amazingly, many of the villages and towns we will be going to have never heard the gospel in their native language. Presenting the JESUS Film will be their very first time in hearing or seeing anything about Jesus!
The best help we can give the Guinean people is spiritual help. Obviously, their country is feeling the strains of political and economic collapse, but our main focus is to share the message of Jesus and serve the greater long-term vision of transforming GB into on of the largest sending nations in Africa.
