News from Frontline Fellowship
In January of 1971 Rev. Don Kyer resigned the church of which he was pastor in order to help pastors and workers in the Communist countries of eastern Europe. He involved himself in the printing and providing of Bibles, hymnbooks, and other literature to Christians under atheistic, communist regimes. The Birth of Frontline Fellowship
In 1973 Rev. Don Kyer shared his burden with his
pastor, Dr. Tom Wallace, and a Christian businessman, Dr. Bill Fortner.
They enlisted others and Frontline Fellowship was born. Their basic
purpose was, "Find a pastor (in communist Europe) who stands faithfully
for Christ and the Word of God and help him any way possible." The Iron Curtain Cracked
Communism proclaimed
itself to be "the worker's paradise". In actuality, the workers were
more like slaves living below what Americans defined as "the poverty
line". As a result many communist countries groveled to obtain
"most-favored-nations" trade status with the United States. The U.S.
demanded increased human rights and more open borders. The communist
countries began to begrudgingly comply and this opened the door for
Christian missionaries to gain entrance. Rev. Don Kyer was in the
forefront of gospel preachers passing through these cracks in the iron
curtain. A New Role for Frontline Fellowship
Following the
overthrow of communism in Romania during Christmas of 1989 that country
threw its doors open to ministers of the gospel. It was during this
time that many Romanian pastors met with Rev. Don Kyer requesting
Frontline Fellowship take a leadership role in establishing a Bible
Institute to provide on-going training for pastors and Christian workers.
