Frontier Alliance International (FAI) is a humanitarian organization with a Christ-centered purpose focused on planting churches and providing medical support in war-ravaged regions of the Middle East. An article on the Frontier Alliance International website, "All Families of the Earth," sheds light on the organization's expansive vision.
When God made a covenant with Abraham, he promised to bless him and make his name great. "I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed." The latter phrase confirms that God's dominion spans every language, people, tribe, and nation. Furthermore, this dominion is a kingdom "that shall not be destroyed."
God expects the faithful to make disciples across all nations, baptizing and teaching them to observe Christian commandments. At the same time, he promises to bless people from diverse backgrounds and languages. Through "the blood of his son" and the act of martyrdom, God "purchases" believers who will come to revere Christ. This foundational worldview inspires grassroots Christian organizations engaged in building robust communities of faith in lands that don't tolerate Christianity.
