Mission to Tanzania
Our Africa Reformation
Overland Mission team is
completing a two month, seven
country mission, including to
Tanzania. Tanzania is a huge
country in East Africa. It has a
population of over 50 million,
comprising more than 150
indigenous ethnic groups.
Swahili and English are its
official languages. Literacy is
estimated at 69%. As a result of
disastrous socialist experiments
in the 60s and 70s, which they
are still trying to recover from,
WINNING AFRICA for CHRIST
Tanzania is one of the
world’s poorest nations.
By God's grace the one
party socialist system
was ended in 1992 and
a multiparty democracy
was instituted. There is
religious freedom, with
nominal Christians over
54% and Muslims 31%.
Animists are estimated
at over 12% and less
than 1% are Hindu.
Protestants make up
over 8 million (18% of
the population). The
Evangelical Lutherans
are their largest
denomination, with over
2,700 congregations and
3.4 million affiliates.
Our Mission team’s priorities
on this outreach are leadership
training, literature distribution,
film evangelism, children’s
ministry and Biblical Preaching
Workshops for pastors.
KOFI ANNAN, the U.N., the RWANDAN HOLOCAUST
and OIL-FOR-FOOD SCANDAL
Kofi Annan, the first black African
to lead the United Nations, died
in Switzerland, on 18 August, at
age 80. Kofi Annan’s personal role
as head of the United Nations
peacekeeping operations from
1993 to 1997 was controversial:
this period saw the massacre of
more than 800,000 Rwandans
in the genocide of 1994 and the
massacre of 8,000 Bosnians at
Srebrenica in 1995.
Shake Hands with the Devil
In Rwanda and Bosnia, United
Nations forces were quick to
abandon their peacekeeping
responsibilities. In both cases,
Kofi Annan was accused of failing
to safeguard those who had
looked to the United Nations
forces for protection. Serving two
five-year terms as U.N. Secretary-
General, Annan presided over the
U.N. during the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

Corruption and Fraud
Kofi Annan was the first from
its bureaucracy to lead the U.N.
Annan championed expansive
U.N. programs, including
controversial condom handouts:
Under Annan U.N. peacekeepers
in Sierra Leone and Congo
received a condom a day, with
Annan’s spokesman claiming
condoms “have the same value as
flak jackets.” In 2004 Annan faced
calls for his resignation after
presiding over one of the world’s
largest financial fraud schemes,
the U.N.-led Oil-for-Food program
in Iraq, whose billions in contracts
benefited his son, Kojo Annan.

Back to Biblical Exposition
Our new book: Biblical
Preaching Handbook, is
being distributed by our Africa
Reformation Overland Mission
team throughout Africa, as we
conduct Reformation 500 –
Back to Biblical Exposition
Workshops and Seminars
with pastors, chaplains and
Evangelists. With next year being
the 500 th Anniversary of the
launch of the Swiss Reformation
by Reformer Ulrich Zwingli, we
are challenging and equipping
pastors with tools to go back to
the Bible, to study, preach and
teach through every Book of
the Bible and apply the central
message of each Book to our daily
lives. The Biblical Preaching
Handbook and Old Testament
Survey are some of the tools we
have already completed and I am
on track to completing our New
Testament Survey, God-willing,
by the end of this year. Part 1 of
our New Testament Survey (from
Matthew to 2 Thessalonians) is now
available in manual form.
“All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God and is
profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may
be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good
work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Christian Action
South Africa is facing increasing
lawlessness, crime, violence
and an irresponsible Marxist
dominated government who
is whipping up race hatred
and advocating confiscation of
farms, game reserves and other
property from all whites in
the country. It is essential that
our friends and intercessors
understand the volatile situation
and what is at stake. The latest
Christian Action Magazine
tackles the question: Is South
Africa Entering the Second
Phase of the Revolution? It
also includes my report: Fraud,
Failure and Farce – Land
Expropriation Hearings. The
chilling report, quotes and
photographs from the events
I have participated in, should
be an urgent Wake-Up call
to Christians worldwide to
intervene, stand up and speak
out on behalf of Christians
literally under fire and facing
the threat of genocide in South
Africa.
Fight the Good Fight of Faith
The latest Christian Action
Magazine also includes: Sola
Scriptura! “God's Commands to
a Nation” and a very practical:
“What Needs to be Done?” with
many useful contact details and
links to practical and positive
Biblical resources that can enable
us to speak up for those who
cannot speak for themselves.
Seek first the Kingdom of God.
Work for Reformation, pray for
Revival, while we make disciples
of all nations and teach obedience
to all things that the Lord has
commanded. One person can
make a difference. At this time
of crisis, it is vital that every
one of us does everything we
possibly can to “…stand firm…
contending for the Faith of the
Gospel without being frightened
in any way by those who oppose
you…” Philippians 1:27-28

Kofi Annan, the U.N.,
the Rwandan Holocaust
and Oil-For-Food Scandal
- continued from page 1
Betraying the People of Iraq
The people of Iraq owe no
debt of gratitude to Annan,
who consistently ignored
their suffering, opposed
their liberation and actively
undermined Coalition efforts to
establish security and rebuild the
country. The Iraq war exposed
the U.N.'s growing impotence in
the post-9/11 era. It also exposed
the huge degree of corruption in
the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food Program,
an epic scandal that continues to
unfold.
Monumental Mismanagement
Annan's 10 years in power were
a monumental failure and he
left behind an institution whose
standing could barely be lower
and a legacy that is a testament
to mismanagement and
corruption. As the Whistleblower
book and film documented, the
U.N. under Annan’s leadership
was running human trafficking in
Bosnia and elsewhere.
Disgrace
The U.N. has been dominated
by scandal, division and failure.
From the disaster of the U.N.
peacekeeping missions in
Rwanda and Bosnia in the
mid-1990s to the U.N.'s slow
response to the Sudan genocide,
its recent track record has been
spectacularly unimpressive.
Annan’s successor inherited a
U.N. whose image slipped to an
all-time low.
Gangsters with Flags
The Oil-for-Food and Congo
peacekeeping scandals have
had a devastating impact on
the U.N.'s reputation and have
reinforced the view that the
world body is riddled with
corruption and mismanagement,
as well as undisciplined in its
peacekeeping operations. The
failure of the U.N. Commission
on Human Rights - now the U.N.
Human Rights Council - which
was populated with some of
the world's worst human rights
FRONTLINE FELLOWSHIP 2018 EDITION 3
violators, has added to the
U.N.'s poor image. Under Annan
the U.N. shamelessly appeased
dictators and tyrants, from
Beijing to Harare, and Khartoum
and stood weak-kneed in the face
of religious persecution, genocide
and ethnic cleansing.
“The World Failed You!”
As head of United Nations
peacekeeping operations in the
mid-1990s, before he rose to
Secretary General, Annan never
apologized to the victims of
the Rwanda Genocide, whose
slaughter was the consequence
of the U.N.'s failure to intervene,
or to the families of those
massacred at Srebrenica while
under the protection of U.N.
soldiers. Annan's lack of humility
in the face of great atrocities
and tragedy has been one of
his greatest shortcomings as
a U.N. leader. At the tenth
anniversary of the Rwandan
Genocide, Kofi Annan finally
said: “The world failed you!” Hardly
taking personal responsibility
for his outrageous failures as
documented in General Romeo
Dallaire’s book, “Shake Hands
with the Devil.”
Farce, Fraud and Failure
The U.N.'s new Human Rights
Council, touted by Annan as a
breakthrough for the U.N., is an
unmitigated farce and the United
Nations has largely jettisoned the
principles of liberty and freedom.
The Council's lack of membership
criteria renders it open to
participation and manipulation
by the world's worst human
rights abusers. Tyrannical
regimes such as Burma, Syria,
Libya, Sudan and Zimbabwe all
voted in favour of establishing
the Council, in the face of strong
U.S. opposition. The brutal
North Korean dictatorship also
endorsed the Council. When
Council elections were held,
leading human rights abusers:
Algeria, China, Cuba, Pakistan
and Saudi Arabia were elected!
Peacekeeping Abuses
A series of peacekeeping
scandals, from Bosnia to
Burundi to Sierra Leone and
Haiti, occurred under Annan's
watch. The largest concentration
of abuse took place in the
Congo, the U.N.'s second largest
peacekeeping mission, with
16,000 peacekeepers.
Congo Crimes
In the Congo, acts of barbarism
were perpetrated by United
Nations peacekeepers and
civilian personnel entrusted with
protecting some of the weakest
and most vulnerable women and
children in the world. Personnel
from the U.N. Mission in the
Democratic Republic of the
Congo (MONUC) stand accused
of at least 150 major human
rights violations and the scale
of the problem is likely to be
far greater. The crimes involved
rape and forced prostitution of
women and young girls across
the country, including inside
a refugee camp in the town of
Bunia in north-eastern Congo.
The alleged perpetrators include
U.N. military and civilian
personnel from Nepal, Morocco,
Tunisia, Uruguay, South Africa,
Pakistan and France.
Shocking Sex Scandals
The sexual abuse scandal in the
Congo made a mockery of the
U.N.'s professed commitment to
uphold basic human rights. The
exploitation of some of the most
vulnerable people in the world -
refugees in a war-ravaged country
- was a shameful episode and a
massive betrayal of trust, as well as
an appalling failure of leadership.
Colossal Corruption
The scandal surrounding the
U.N.-administered Oil-for-
Food programme had immense
damage to the U.N.'s already
shaky credibility. The Oil-for-
Food scandal is undoubtedly the
biggest financial scandal in the
history of the United Nations
and one of the largest frauds of
modern times. It shattered the
liberal illusion that the U.N. is an
arbiter of moral authority in the
international sphere.
Oil-for-Food Scandal
Established in the mid-1990s
as a means of providing
humanitarian aid to the Iraqi
people, the Oil-for-Food Program
was subverted and manipulated
by U.N. officials who siphoned
off billions of dollars from the
program through oil smuggling
and systematic thievery, by
demanding illegal payments from
companies buying Iraqi oil and
through kickbacks from those
selling goods to Iraq.
Nepotism
Despite widespread criticism,
Kofi Annan never took
responsibility for a scandal that
irreparably damaged the U.N.'s
reputation. A huge cloud remains
over the U.N. Secretary General
with regard to the Oil-for-Food
contractor Cotecna, which
employed his son, Kojo, from
1995 and continued to pay him
through 2004.
Funds for Favours
Questions also remain regarding
Annan's appointment of Achim
Steiner as Executive Director of
the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) just months
after Steiner helped award
Annan $500,000. Steiner, whose
four-year term of office began
in June 2006, was part of a
nine-member jury chaired by a
senior U.N. official, which gave
a cash gift to Annan. Annan's
initial decision to accept such a
huge prize (eventually given to
charity), as well as his subsequent
appointment of a man who had
played a key role in the award of
that money, gave the appearance
of a major abuse of power. Both
were extraordinary acts of political
recklessness by the Secretary
General and gave the impression
that jobs at the U.N. may be traded
for financial favours.

Annan with Sudan's dictator Omar
al- Bashir - who is wanted for genocide.
Shameful Lack of Ethics
As an international public
servant, the Secretary General
should not have accepted money
from a U.N. member state or
a private foundation, either
as an award or gift. He should
also have completely disclosed
his personal finances, as many
Western politicians do. He also
should have abided by the same
strict ethics and disclosure rules
that apply to political figures
in major democracies, such
as in the United States and
Great Britain. Annan talked
about accountability, but his
own leadership betrayed the
emptiness of his words. A
secretive culture of impunity still
dominates the upper echelons of
the U.N. Secretariat.
A Broken Institution
In an interview with the London
Daily Telegraph, U.S. Ambassador
to the United Nations, John
Bolton, described the U.N. as
“hopelessly out of touch” and “stuck
in a Twilight Zone-style time
warp" where "there are practices,
attitudes and approaches that were
abandoned 30 years ago in much of
the rest of the world." In a March
2006, poll conducted by Gallup in
the United States, recorded the
most negative rating for the U.N.:
Just 28 percent had a positive
6
image of the U.N. “Today's United
Nations is a broken institution in
fundamental need of wholesale
reform. That is Annan's legacy and
the United States and the world
looks forward to new leadership
at Turtle Bay - leadership that
is untarnished by scandal and
actually lives up to the ideals of
the U.N.'s own Declaration of
Human Rights. The U.N. needs a
Secretary General who will seek
real reform of the U.N. bureaucracy
and aggressively stand up for
democracy, human rights and
freedom.”- Nile Gardiner, Ph.D. (the
Bernard and Barbara Lomas Fellow in
and Director of, the Margaret Thatcher
Centre for Freedom, a division of the
Institute for International Studies, at
The Heritage Foundation.)
“While they promise them
liberty, they themselves are
slaves of corruption…”
2 Peter 2:19
Homosexual ‘Marriage’
UNITED NATIONS, August
5, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- United Nations Secretary
General Kofi Annan came out in
favour of homosexual ‘marriage’.
Annan attended part of a
homosexual activist conference
held at the United Nations.
The conference demanded that
international treaties such as
the United Nations Declaration
on Human Rights include
rights for homosexual couples.
A United Nations release said
the Secretary General was “glad
to be able to attend” part of the
event. On the issue of same sex
marriage, his personal view, was
“that individuals should be allowed
to make their own choices and that
we should be careful not to draw
conclusions, or adopt prejudicial
attitudes, towards people for their
choices and preferences”. The
United Nations, through its
various committees has been
in the forefront of advocating
international acceptance
of homosexuality and the
bestowing of rights normally
reserved for the family on
homosexual unions. Annan and
most other de-populationists see
legitimization and protection of
homosexuality as one more way
to keep procreation down and to
undermine marriage and other
institutions (especially religious)
that emphasize that children are
a blessing.
Annan Supported Abortion
Kofi Annan has emphasized that
“sexual and reproductive health is
an essential part of human rights.”
That is, he supported abortion
and other population control
measures, including explicit sex
education, to the extent that
they should be declared “human
rights”. Ultimately, though, this
emphasis on a new category of
“human rights” has as its real
purpose to advance the agenda
of what Kofi Annan says is the
“need to stabilize the population
of this planet.” All this makes
it extraordinary that some
Christians have saluted and
hailed Kofi Annan as: “A great
African diplomat and leader!”
“And as it is appointed for men
to die once, but after this the
Judgment.” Hebrews 9:27

For Zimbabwe Pensioners
MISSIONS to MPUMALANGA
“Preach the Word! Be ready
in season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort, with
all longsuffering and teaching.”
2 Timothy 4:2
Back to Barberton
My first speaking engagement
was at the Sunday morning
worship service of the Dutch
Reformed Church in Barberton.
Rev. Piet Erasmus, the Founder
of Back to the Bible Mission,
was once a pastor of this church.
One of his first staff members
was our missionary, George
Bezuidenhout, who was also a
member of this congregation.
I recruited George into the
Mission from Infantry School
in Oudtshoorn and we put him
through Baptist Theological
College. George had also been
arrested and imprisoned with me
in Mozambique in 1989. When
Dominee Erasmus began Back
to the Bible Mission in February
1990, with just five students, we
loaned him George as a
co-worker for their first year.
Mission to Swaziland
My first cross-border Mission
for Frontline Fellowship was
also launched from Barberton.
Having ministered the previous
day at Barberton Baptist Church,
I loaded my 250CC Honda offroad
scrambler motorbike and
rode up the steep gravel road to
Piggs Peak into Swaziland and
after many Jesus film outreaches
throughout the country, rode
into Mozambique. That was April
1982.
Barberton Basics
The mountains around Barberton
include volcanic rocks and a
greenstone belt. The Barberton
area was the scene of the first
Gold Rush in South Africa. Tom
McLachlan discovered alluvial
gold in 1881 and the town was
named after Graham Barber, who
discovered a rich gold-bearing
reef there in 1884. The Sheba
reef Gold Mining Company was
founded in 1885. The Sheba mine
is, today, one of the oldest and
richest working gold mines in the
world, having been in production
for more than a century.
Barberton was also home to Sir
Percy Fitzpatrick, author of Jock
of the Bushveld. A character in
the Sherlock Holmes adventure
“The Disappearance of Lady Francis
Carfax” made his fortune in
Barberton. Barberton is very
close to Swaziland, Mozambique
and the world famous, Kruger
National Game Reserve.
Prison Ministry
Immediately after ministering at
the Dutch Reformed Church, the
Mulders drove me to Maximum
Security Prison. Every week
members of Back to the Bible
Mission conduct services and
Bible studies for prisoners in
Maximum Security Prison. As
most of the people in maximum
security prison are “lifers”, few
have any hope of “seeing the
outside” again. As we arrived, the
prisoners gathered for worship
and were enthusiastically
singing. I shared with them my
prison experiences in Lusaka
Central Prison as a presidential
detainee of dictator Kenneth
Kaunda in Zambia in 1987 and
in Machava Security Prison,
Maputo in Mozambique in 1989.
Every prison is unpleasant and
doubtless most there felt they
were in the worst place on earth.
I was able to relate to them
conditions so severe as to make
their situation seem almost like a
five star hotel by comparison. In
my prison experiences in Lusaka
Central and Machava in Maputo,
there was no electricity, no
plumbing and no sanitation. They
were stinking disease factories.
No furniture, no beds, no sheets,
only one cooked meal a day and
that was starch, with no protein
at all, aside from the flies. In the
average cell in Lusaka Central,
25 feet by 15 feet, there would
be 60 to 65 prisoners crammed.
People died in the cells during
the night and were only carried
out in the morning. Barberton
Maximum Security by contrast,
plainly had both electricity and
plumbing, good sanitation,
8
FRONTLINE FELLOWSHIP
2018 EDITION 3
unk beds with mattresses,
pillows, sheets and blankets,
clean polished floors and access
to medicine, books, Bibles and
a library. The prisoners were
positive, enthusiastic and
responsive. It was good to hand
over to them the testimony of
Anthony Stander: Prison Break
and other Literature4Africa and
Living Waters Africa materials.
“Remember the prisoners as
if chained with them - those
who are mistreated - since
you yourselves are in the body
also.” Hebrews 13:3
Back to the Bible Mission
It is always a joy and privilege
to minister at Back to the Bible
Mission. With over 100 students
and staff from over 20 countries,
including Ghana, Kenya, Sierra
Leone, Benin, Tanzania, Somalia,
Malawi, Madagascar, Zambia and
Zimbabwe, there are something
like 50 denominations and up to
60 languages represented at the
Mission at any given time. Since
1990, Back to the Bible Mission
has sought to fulfil the Great
Commission by training pastors,
evangelists and missionaries
in a balanced, Biblical, body,
mind and spirit programme of
Discipleship.
The Illuminated Cross
As one approaches Back to the
Bible Mission, the large white
Cross dominates the Valley and
lit up at night, can be seen from
a great distance. The huge white
Cross is symbolic of the Christian
witness and Missionary vision
which radiates out from this
strategic Leadership Training
Mission.
What Have You Done?
The art work of the chapel
and layout of the Mission also
emphasises Christ-centered,
Bible-based and Missionsfocussed
vision. At the front of
the chapel, above the pulpit, art
work depicting the crucifixion
of Christ confronts one with
the challenge: “Jesus died for you.
What are you doing for Him?”
There is also a prayer: “Lord, step
out through me into Africa.” The
vision of Africa for Christ is
reinforced in many pictures and
posters.
Next Generation
This year, it was a particular joy
to follow up after my daughter
Andrea and son-in-law, Hunter
had been ministering at Back
to the Bible the previous week.
Hunter was invited to lecture
on Biblical Ethics. Andrea
ministered to the women at the
college and I was invited to give
a week of lectures on Missiology.
Both students and staff were
enthusiastic over what Hunter
had taught and what Andrea had
shared and many had found our
grandson, Jeremy, charming.
Daily Devotions
Each week day morning at Back
to the Bible Mission, begins
with the bell being rung at 6am.
Devotions at the top of the hill,
at chapel, involve all students,
faculty and staff and sometimes
guests from the surrounding
community. As the principal,
Professor Shai Mulder, regularly
reminds us: “Your walk with God
is even more important than your
work for God.” Each morning
the students and staff share
prayer requests and praise
items, with Scripture memory
verses and focus on a different
country from Operation World
for intercession. Back to the
Bible Mission is truly “a house
of prayer for all nations.” For
morning Devotions I presented:
The Gospel According to Jesus:
(Mark 10:17-31); Without a Vision
a People Perish (Proverbs 29:18);
Supernatural Power for World
Missions (Acts 1:8); and Faith or
Presumption? (Numbers 14).
Examples of Excellence
Back in the year 2000, Professor
Shai Mulder and his wife, Dr.
Elreza Mulder, were asked to
“step in and look after the college
for 3 months.” Now, after 18 years
of running Back to the Bible
Mission, I commented: “It’s been
a long 3 months!” General Shai
Mulder was the Commander
of the Military Academy in
Saldanha and Commander of
the Engineers. Upon retirement
from the Military, he launched
into Missions. Both General Shai
Mulder and Mrs Mulder have
earned doctorates in Theology
and have poured heart and
soul into investing in the lives

and training of these pastors,
teachers and evangelists to win
Africa for Christ. Other colleges
can learn from their balanced
Biblical, Practical, Missionary
vision and effective strategy for
mobilising pastors, evangelists
and missionaries to win and
disciple Africa for Christ.

Mission, email: shyriesmulder@

The Great Commission
is Our Supreme Ambition
As always, the Mulders laid on
a full programme. Each day was
packed with lectures and other
ministry. I gave lectures and
presentations on: Missions in
the Old Testament, Missionary
Strategy in Acts, The Gospel
in Acts, The Amateurisation of
Missions, What Does It Take to Be
a Missionary?, Missions – Nine
Ways of Going, The Greatness of
the Great Commission, What is the
Difference Between Christianity and
All Other Religions?, Motives for
Missions, Wrong Motives and False
Calls, Biblical Motives, What is
Missions?, What is A Missionary?,
William Carey – The Father of
Modern Missions, Evangelising
Hindus, Understanding Islam,
Effective Evangelism of Muslims,
Comparing the Bible and the Quran,
Communicating the Gospel Through
Abraham, Making Disciples of All
Nations and The Greatest Century
of Missions. These resulted in
many hours of discussions,
answering the questions
of the eager students.
Films
On one of the evenings, I was
able to listen to and evaluate
Homiletics practical preaching
by several of the students.
On other evenings, we also
screened a number of useful
films which engendered much
discussion, including: Beyond
the Next Mountain on church
planting and Bible translation
in North West India. This film
presents a dramatic true story
of the life of Rochunga Pudaite,
whose father was converted
by a missionary from Wales
in 1908. Rochunga dedicated
his life to translating the Bible
into the Hmar language. We
also screened the New Tribes
Mission film, EE-Taow – The
Next Chapter, on chronological
Evangelism and Church planting
amongst remote Mouk people
in Papua New Guinea and Living
Waters’ Evolution vs. God film for
practical one-on-one evangelistic
conversations with atheists
10
and evolutionists on university
campuses. After each of these
films there was much productive
discussion and plainly students
were being encouraged, inspired
and equipped for the field.
Greatest Century of Missions
I was able to provide
each student with
their own copy
of The Greatest
Century of Missions
book as examples
of excellence for
Missions. Each student also
received a copy of Biblical
Principles for Africa. The
previous week Hunter had
provided every student of
the college with
a complimentary
copy of our new
Biblical Preaching
Handbook.
Body, Mind and Spirit
There were also other
ministry opportunities, speaking
with the Student Council, the
Women’s Group, the Staff and
Faculty, the Third Year Students
and a special Sports Parade, P.T.
session with practical self-defence
skills. After Exams on Friday,
I was busy marking through the
night, till early the next morning.
There was also an opportunity
to take part in an outreach
in Malelane and ministering
at a local congregation there.
Enroute to the airport the next
morning, we delivered students to
evangelise at two of the hospitals
in Barberton and distributed
literature there. All told, including
lectures, services, presentations
and devotions, I gave over 35
presentations in that week.
Africa Overland Missions
Many of the students who
graduate organise outreaches,
pastor’s fraternals, seminars,
conferences and services in
their countries and invite our
Mission teams to minister in
their areas. Our missionaries are
then able to deliver much needed
Bibles, World Missionary Press
Gospel booklets, doctrinal and
devotional books, Sunday school
materials, evangelistic tracts
and film evangelism materials to
empower their ministries across
Africa. “After these things I
looked and behold, a great
multitude which no one could
number, of all nations, tribes,
peoples and tongues, standing
before the Throne and before
the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, with palm branches in
their hands.” Revelation 7:9
An Urgent Call for Prayer
Please continue to pray for our
Africa Reformation Overland
Mission team: Abrie, Daniel,
Alieske, Tobie and Talita, who
have already completed ministry
in Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and
Zimbabwe. They have battled
with illness, vehicle problems
and chronic shortage of funds.
The Mission is struggling to
meet commitments and finance
much needed printing and other
strategic needs.
“Finally, brethren, pray for us,
that the Word of the Lord may
run swiftly and be glorified,
just as it is with you and that
we may be delivered from
unreasonable and wicked men;
for not all have faith.”
2 Thessalonians 3:1-2
May God continue to
be your joy and strength.

SOUTH AFRICA for CHRIST
We praise God for His blessing
and protection of Joseph, Francis,
Emma, Alieske and myself who
returned from a packed and
productive Mission around South
Africa. We drove over 4,000km,
conducted 45 meetings, including
4 church services, 3 school
assemblies, a Biblical Worldview
Seminar in Pretoria, a Bible
College Consultation, a Youth
Conference, ministry at 4 Missions,
25 presentations and sermons and
recording 20 devotions for Radio
Khwezi.
Literature for South Africa
We also delivered Bibles and
books to many different
ministries, Missions and
churches for Literature4Africa.
All in all our team delivered and
distributed over 2.5 tonnes of
Bibles, books, Gospel booklets,
tracts and audio visual materials
to 18 venues, in 6 Provinces of
South Africa.
Orange Free State
This South African Mission began
with a 14-hour drive from Cape
Town to Goldfields Mission in
the Orange Free State where I
was asked to give a presentation
on: The Coming Persecution of
Christians: What to Expect and
How to Prepare. In the morning,
Francis and Emma taught
the school assembly the Ten
Commandments and Evangelism
Explosion.
Biblical Worldview Seminar
We then drove up to Pretoria and
set up for the Biblical Worldview
Seminar which was hosted in
Hatfield. After Bible Drill, I gave
presentations on: The Challenge of
Islam; Comparing the Bible and the
Quran and Challenging Muslims
with the Gospel.
Understanding the Times
On Saturday, I dealt with
Worldviews in Conflict; Resisting
Babylon and the Beast; Biblical
Solutions to Poverty; Crime
and Corruption and Setting the
Captives Free. Our team also
conducted an Evangelism and
Debating Workshop and Street
Outreach in the afternoon.
After the evening presentation
on Slavery – What You Have
Never Been Told and a vigorous
Question and Answer time,
our team screened The Atheist
Delusion film. On Sunday, I
presented the Sunday morning
sermon on The Greatness of the
Great Commission and in the
evening on What Would David
Livingstone Say to Us Today?
The Power of the Printed Page
The next day our team visited
All Nation Gospel Publishers
to collect Gospel literature in
numerous languages. We visited
Kruger House and then set up for
the Bible College Consultation.
Bible College Consultation
100 participants from 20
countries, representing 30 Bible
colleges and universities gathered
at the Word in Action campsite
with participants from America,
Botswana, England, Eritria,
Germany, Kenya, Korea, Malawi,
Mozambique, Netherlands,
Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland,
Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia
and Zimbabwe.
Fellowship and Ministry
It was good to meet previous
Frontline missionary,
Professor Mark Kreitzer,
who since serving with our
Mission, was a missionary
professor in Seoul, South
Korea and now is teaching
Missiology at Grand Canyon
University. I was requested to
conduct Workshops on Rejecting
the Influence of Secular Humanism.
These involved much discussion.
Libraries for Leaders
Our team donated libraries for
pastors, professors and lecturers
participating in the consultation
and a good quantity of books
for the libraries of the 30
Bible colleges and universities
represented.
Blow Out on the Highway
At the conclusion of the Bible
College Consultation, our team
had to move briskly across
Pretoria and Johannesburg, out
to Secunda, to make an evening
meeting at Adullam Mission.
A tyre blow-out on the trailer
on the highway leading out of
Pretoria did not delay our team
much, as the wheel change
was made in under 12 minutes
and we still made our evening
meeting in time.
FRONTLINE FELLOWSHIP 2018 EDITION 2
Adullam Mission
I presented: The Life and Legacy
of Dr. David Livingstone – The
Best Friend Africa Ever Had,
while Joseph and Francis led a
separate programme for young
children on Way of the Master.
In the morning, Emma and
Alieske taught the Adullam
Christian School assembly, the
Romans 6:23 Marching Song and
Evangelism Explosion.
KwaSizabantu Mission
Our team travelled down to
KwaSizabantu Mission in
KwaZulu/Natal, stopping at the
Majuba battle site enroute. On
the Saturday we drove through
to the Tugela Valley Mission. It
was a tremendous inspiration
and encouragement to see the
progress made in the last nine
years in this hot and mostly dry
valley. Passing the infamous
Nkandla residence of Jacob
Zuma enroute, through dongas
and often dry riverbeds, where
mostly thorn bushes grow, it was
like coming to an oasis when we
arrived at KwaSizabantu’s new
Mission base in the Tugela River
Valley. Pineapples, litchi, dragon
fruit, papayas, pears, oranges and
bananas were flourishing. Sheep,
buck, bees and a host of other
farming enterprises were making
the valley literally flow in milk
and honey.
The End of Napoleon’s Lineage
We also met a group of French
Christians visiting the Mission.
I pointed out that the Prince
Imperial Napoleon, the only
child of Emperor Napoleon III
and Empress Eugenie was killed
fighting Zulu warriors during
the Anglo Zulu War of 1879 and
initially was buried not far from
where we were. Napoleon, the
Prince Imperial, was only 23
years old when he was killed in
action in the Anglo Zulu War.
His death sent shockwaves
throughout Europe as he was
the last male descendant of
the famous French Emperor,
Napoleon. The death of the
Prince Imperial in Zululand
created even more shock and
dismay in Great Britain than
the disastrous defeat of an
English regiment at the Battle of
Isandlwana. Prince Napoleon’s
body was later transported back
to Britain and buried next to his
father.
Zulu Children for Christ
The KSB Church was packed
with children gathering for
a special programme which
included soccer and other
sports. Then Emma and Alieske
taught the children the Roman
6:23 Marching Song and the
Evangelism Explosion Gospel
presentation. I then gave
a presentation on Children
Under Persecution in Angola,
Mozambique and Sudan. The local
KwaSizabantu Missionaries
had been busy baking special
cupcakes for all the children and
they were all also given bottles of
flavoured Aquelle water.

Ready for Anything
On Sunday morning I was
called to go to Rev. Erlo Stegen.
Uncle Erlo said that he knew it
was short notice, but he would
like me to take the Sunday
morning service at the Mission.
He declared that he
knew that any Frontline
missionary was RFA (ready
for anything). Indeed,
the missionary under
whom I was mentored:
Francis Grim, the Founder
of Hospital Christian
Fellowship, often declared:
“A Missionary must be
prepared to preach, pray, or
die at a moment’s notice!” I
expounded Luke 18:9-14:
Two Men Went Up to the
Temple to Pray.
Youth Conference
On Monday, 25 June, the
Youth Conference began
with something in the
region of 7,000 young
people who came from far and
wide. I gave them a presentation
on Body Piercing – A Return to
Paganism. This engendered a lot
of discussion, counselling and
interest. On Tuesday, I presented
Remember the Persecuted and
having delivered a large quantity
of Bibles, books and World
Missionary Press Gospel booklets
to KSB, we headed off to travel
through Transkei to our next
engagement.
Turning World Right Side Up
After delivering Bibles to
Advance for Life Christian
School in East London, we
raced through to Port Alfred,
where a number of churches had
come together for an evening
presentation, where I was asked
to deal with Turning the World
Right Side Up. Thereafter, we
visited other long-time friends
across the Eastern and Western
Cape, delivering Bibles, books,
audio visual materials and World
Missionary Press Gospel booklets
and tracts, to different schools
and ministries.
Childrens Ministry
While our team was busy
on the South African
Mission, our Missionary
interns back in Cape
Town were conducting a
Holiday Bible Club and
also received another
container shipment of
Bibles and books, which
they offloaded and sorted
through.
Yours for the fulfillment of
the Great Commission
