Motorcyclists reach remote villages for Christ
OUTLOOK, SK— Motorcycle Sunday School Mission (MSSM) is looking for Canadian groups to sponsor Sunday schools in hard-to-reach African regions.
Josiah Frey of MSSM says they use locally-trained circuit riders to "go into remote villages and disciple people in places where there no churches, no pastor, no real spiritual foundation."
These include remote bush areas of Malawi, Zambia and Cameroon that are beyond the reach of traditional outreach methods, due to a lack of roads and bridges, or due to extreme weather conditions during certain times of the year.
"We want these kids and their parents to come and know Jesus Christ," Frey says. "When our circuit riders go out on these missions they are showing these kids that although they are growing up impoverished in Africa, they can still have a purpose, live a life for Christ and be a light within their communities."
Churches, families and Sunday schools can sponsor the creation of a new MSSM Sunday school for $79 a month.
"You can name it," Frey says, "support it, send pictures and letters back and forth, pray for them and know that they are praying for you.
"The heart of our goal is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While we may also give out medical help, teach literacy classes, offer clothes—the ultimate goal of Motorcycle Sunday School Mission is to bring the gospel to people who need to know."
MSSM is a sister organization of Teen Missions and was launched with a vision to create long-term spiritual investments in the lives of local children met on short-term missions.
About 500 young people—including 50 from Canada—will take part in Teen Missions' "The Lord's Boot Camp" this summer.
The Florida-based "intense mission training" camp sees young people living in tents, bathing from buckets and banned from using modern technology for the sake of learning how to reach those in other parts of the world. Along with personal spiritual formation and evangelism classes, they also learn basic construction skills like block laying and carpentry.
They will then go out to development and mission projects in about 25 countries around the world, including one Frey will be leading in Malawi.
