Far Reaching Ministries Update - Summer 2025

In 1996, former U.S. Marine Wes Bentley founded Far Reaching Ministries (FRM) after serving as a missionary in war-torn regions of Sudan, including Bahr El-Ghazal, Western Equatoria, the Nuba Mountains, and Southern Kordofan. By 1998, FRM expanded its efforts to South Sudanese refugee camps, primarily in Kiryandongo, Uganda, bringing hope to thousands of orphans and widows affected by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). Addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, FRM became a beacon for those suffering from ethnic and religious cleansing.

Today, FRM operates in 39 of the world’s most dangerous nations, deploying over 500 team members to share the hope of Jesus, disciple believers, and intervene for those trapped in cycles of death, violence, and poverty under oppressive regimes.

Committed to alleviating suffering, FRM rescues and rebuilds lives affected by Christian persecution, abduction, violence, rape, and war-induced humanitarian crises. The ministry provides essential aid, combats child sex trafficking and organ harvesting, and offers medical care, food, and shelter. More importantly, it introduces people to the love and hope found in Jesus Christ.

FRM is also dedicated to planting underground churches, discipling believers, and equipping them to return to their communities as Gospel witnesses. Its frontline workers include military-embedded chaplains, pastors, doctors, and ministry leaders, all working to transform lives and nations for Christ.

Romans 3:27 - Romans 4:4

Justified by Faith

Paul reminds the Christian Jews that religion cannot save them and that mankind must be justified by grace through faith in Christ. When we believe God, He sees us as righteous.

Romans 3:11-26

The Pathogen


Paul exposes the depravity of man as a problem that must be addressed. Jesus is the righteousness that comes apart from the law, as revealed through the Law and the Prophets. It is only through faith in Him that we are made righteous.

Romans 3:1-10

The Oracles of God

The words of God were first entrusted to the Jews. Now, through the Gospel, they have come to us—producing faith that frees us from the consequences of sin. Since mankind has the ability to choose whom we will serve, we are ultimately responsible for our own destiny.

Romans 2:17-29

A Matter of the Heart

The Jews believed that judgment was for everyone but themselves. Paul confronts this mindset by emphasizing that a true Jew is one inwardly. In the same way, Christianity—or our religion—does not save us on its own. It is imperative that Christians cultivate a genuine heart relationship with God, as hypocrisy gives the non-religious world reason to blaspheme.
