News from Africa

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Greetings in the Holy name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Wow, 2009 is gone and 2010 is here. Maybe, just maybe this will be the year the trumpet blows, amen, but if now, lets get busy. Just want to say thank you to all who have prayed, and sacrificed for the Bonner family. What a blessing, God bless each of you.

This last year was full of mountain top moments, and valley rescues. I am getting my strength back and will back in the saddle very soon. I already preached a few times before the New Year, but now the road trips are back and there are churches and places the Lord has opened for us to go to teach and preach and we are excited. Thanks unto God for once again allowing us to minister His Word to all who will hear it. What an honor to serve our King with abandon for His way, His work, His wished, and then allowing us to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

IAM is redefining as a "Bridge of Hope." In order to help the local churches in fulfilling the great command and in Matthew 28 of evangelising, planting churches, and discipleship, IAM Ministries is that Bridge of Hope that is in place to help bring the Gospel to Africa and around the world. Please help us pay for shipping supplies that we are putting together such as Bibles, Sunday School materials, tracts, and pastor training curriculum. We are shipping another 40 ft. container to our partners in Africa. The cost is $15,000. Please pray about this need. If every church and individual would just sacrifice a little we could get this done and have that container leave by April. Please pray for this need.

We also need a team of physicians that would be willing to come this August to our Bible Conference in the Bush at Kafulafuta in the country of Zambia. The missionaries there have requested that if we can, please let our doctor friends know of this need. If you can help, please let me know. Thousands of people will come if they know doctors and dentists are coming. They not only get a pill, but they get the Gospel given to them as well. What an opportunity. Please pray.

Thank you once again for all your prayers and support. We are committed to what the Lord has laid on our hearts in that everyone should be able to hear the Gospel at least once. There are still villages and people that need the Gospel preached to them. Please pray for IAM as we take on this challenge of reaching ALL of Sub-Sahara Africa with the Gospel. God bless you.

In Jesus Name,
Bobby and Becky Bonner
