At Sunday School this week, we’ll watch the third episode of the series Dispatches from the Front. This is a series of DVD’s that describes the advance of God’s kingdom to the far corners of the earth. Each episode shows the way in which God is working on the “frontlines” and shows us the extent, diversity, and unity of His people.
This week’s episode will take us to the West African countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Here is a summary of what we’ll see (from the publisher’s website):
The third episode in the award-winning series Dispatches from the Front goes deep into the lands of West Africa, lands broken and bloodied by years of horrific civil war, desperate poverty, and dark religion. For centuries Islam and demon worship have held millions in the grip of fear, violence, and blood-guilt. However, the Gospel is changing all of that! I Once Was Blind opens windows to whole villages turning to Christ as the Gospel breaks through borders and breaks down altars where human sacrifice was once made to Satan. See how fresh wells of water are drawing thirsty sinners to Jesus. Take a front-row seat on the frontlines where a dress rehearsal is underway for the day when the ransomed from every nation, tongue, and tribe will see their Savior and sing for joy and wonder at the reach of such grace!
And here is a preview of what we’ll be watching. Note that the video is about 57 minutes long so we’ll try to start promptly at 9:30 to leave some time for discussion.
