Book Bobby Bonner to come speak at your church! Call 816-315-5240


Bobby Bonner trusted Jesus as his Savior in 1978 during his baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles. After retiring, he answered the call to serve as a missionary in Zambia with his wife Becky and their four daughters in 1989.

They inherited 16 churches and established three more in their first year, while also founding the North Star Bible College to train local pastors. Over his time in Zambia, Bobby established over 100 churches and trained numerous leaders.

Despite health challenges preventing his return to Africa, Bobby’s desire to reach Sub-Saharan Africa led to the creation of International African Missions (IAM).


He continues to go on short term mission trips back to Zambia, and other countries in Africa to preach the gospel. Bobby serves in his local church at First Bible Baptist Church in Blue Springs, MO, where he resides with his wife Becky.



A Letter from the President of International African Missions

Thank You for your prayers and support!



Dear Brothers & Sisters,


Wow, what a start to the new Year and now its almost half over. My, how time flies. Please continue to pray for us as we are reaching out to as many souls as we can in these last days. To the glory of God!


The shipping out of the container took a little more time than we had hoped but the new date for loading here in the US is May 27th. God knows all about it and He has a plan!

It typically takes 33 days to ship a container to Zambia. Please pray with us that there are no issues. The enemy still tries to stop The Word of God from being sent to Africa! Will you pray with us that these Bibles and gospel supplies get to Zambia before the conference in August? He is able! Glory to God!


Would you consider and please pray about supporting IAM, maybe going on a trip with us in the future?


We love you and thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord. To God be the glory…

Pastor Frazer Kane Writes:


Warm greeting in the name of our soon coming King Jesus Christ.


Bible reading: 

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.


John 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.


John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.


We are grateful to God for His working hand and all times, for He is the one doing His will and showering His grace and blessing up us.

Main people wonder and think that God has not Done a lot in their lives, truly what more would we need apart from all He has done for us, 2 Corinthians 5:21 

Enough is that He died for us, isn’t this enough?


CONFERENCE UPDATE


We held a resurrection conference which took place April 16th to 20th, 2025


People in attendance were 316

6 souls were saved according to the final collective number.

23 souls rededicated themselves to the Lord

19 souls were baptized praise the Lord.

Sound teaching we’re exhibited and we saw the power of God.



What you are seeing is the foundation of the wall fence, the foundation works where completed, next step is to mix sand and stones to make concert that should be poured into the foundation so that the ground is solid, stones and sand are already on the site project, unfortunately thought I took the picture of stones and sand but non, I will be able to share when I capture stones and sand.

Next week we will buy cement and start the ball rolling, wall fence is phase 1 of the entire project.


Why do we start with fencing the property? 

1 For security reasons, get rid of encroachers. one of our neighbor whom I saw for the first time tried to claim part of our property, he was trying to extend his wall fence claiming that we have moved into his land, I told him to hold his peace and wait for the local government surveyor to come on the ground, I went and picked the surveyor the surveyor did his work professionally by following the coordinates specification.

The neighbor never had proper drawing to show, we had everything such as the site plan and wall fence approved plan.

He later lost it.


2 To safeguard our materials and keep the land of God well.

Also material cost keeps going up, our prayer is to start works and manage God’s money for it’s intended purposes. 

We pray that God will keep showering His blessings up this land .


Thank you all who are already supporting this orphanage project. God knows it all for He is the one doing His will.


We have also a 10 to 12 hector farm land, which will be used to grow vegetables , maize, rearing chickens and livestock, such as keeping pigs and other animals. The farm will be sustaining the orphanage.


FIRE BRIGADE MINISTRY UPDATE


God is blessing the officers with God’s word which is impacting the force , they keep thanking God that he brought me to them and became a huge blessing.


Please continue keeping us in your prayers, God is opening more doors in ways to spread the gospel and planting new churches.
