The Mysterious Cave
This is the true story of Battina Babu Rao in India and the path God led him from worshiping idols to preaching the Word throughout his region and planting churches!To the Reader: In 1986 when I began to travel the world, seeking experienced church planters to support, I began by asking them to tell me their stories. Sometimes it was in a sticky, humid hotel room without fans. Sometimes it was on a train car so filled with people that I could not sit to write. Sometimes it was while seated on a bamboo floor in Southeast Asia, inside a mud hut on an African plain, or even while seated up against a wall on a cobblestone street in Central or South America. On several occasions, it was inside a dilapidated and freezing house in Soviet-occupied regions or a three-thousand-year-old Middle Eastern ruin. Their stories intrigued me and not only opened my eyes to see their courage but also the value of what we call national preachers.For nearly four decades, I have longed to share these stories with children in America, hoping the desire to support national church planters through our Great Commission Fund will be planted in their hearts and grow as they mature. The staff of Final Frontiers, led by my son Daniel and my son-in-law Michael took it upon themselves to take my dream and turn it into a reality. They picked one of my favorite stories about a preacher I met in the early 1990s in east India. A man whose story I have written and shared in scores of churches, not only in the United States but also worldwide. Now, they are sharing his story with you and your children. We want to make missions come alive in their young hearts and influence the rest of their lives, and their children, and theirs. And while our staff shares with you these amazing stories, I'll be back in other steamy hotel rooms, dugout canoes, and bombed houses and passing through three-thousand-year-old doors to sit, sip a cup of tea or coffee, and learn more stories of the most courageous preachers of our day. These are not made-up tales. They are factual accounts about mostly still living preachers, of whom the world is not worthy. And as such, you, your children, and your grandchildren need to know about them. Be looking for upcoming issues of more preachers and stories of children blessed through our Touch a Life Child Rescue Centers. To be alerted as each is available, register at www.FinalFrontiers.world. Be blessed.Jon Nelms, Founder -- Final Frontiers Foundation

The Big Lie
The Pulitzer Prize-nominated author recounts her Holocaust experience--her imprisonment at Auschwitz and her dramatic escape--in this book for young readers. As World War II rages in Europe, the fighting seems far away from Isabella Leitner and her family. Only rumors of Nazi horrors have reached them, and they feel safe in the small Hungarian town of Kisvarda. That is, until March 20, 1944 . . . Overnight, Isabella's whole world changes. Suddenly, she must wear a yellow star, be inside by curfew, and cannot go back to school. And that's only the beginning. Her family is rounded up by Nazi soldiers. They are put in cattle cars and taken to Auschwitz, a death camp in Poland. Only Isabella and three of her sisters are kept together, the rest of their family is forced to separate parts of the camp. Together, the four girls face their worst fears--until they get a chance at freedom. The Big Lie offers a look at history through the eyes of a woman whose strength and hope helped her overcome the worst of human nature. Leitner's "approach allows readers to appreciate the young Isabella's incomprehension of the Final Solution even as she generates a coherent and compelling narrative" (Publishers Weekly).

Time has shown that a properly led team with effective leadership is much stronger than an individual. Each one reaches at least one.
