Dear Intercessors<br />
PERSEVERENCE and PRODUCTIVITY DESPITE PANDEMIC PANIC<br />
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<br />
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,<br />
knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58<br />
Bad Times are Good for Spiritual Work<br />
Despite the Lockdown lunacy and unprecedented<br />
travel restrictions of <strong>2020</strong>, we managed to adapt,<br />
persevere and remain productive. By responding<br />
decisively to the revolutionary agenda advanced in<br />
the name of combatting a virus, I received many<br />
international radio and TV interview opportunities<br />
through an array of online platforms, including<br />
Audacity, Pod bean, Skype, WeTransfer and Zoom.<br />
DIRECTORS ANNUAL<br />
REPORT <strong>2020</strong><br />
Digital Evangelism and Discipleship<br />
Although our cross-border Missions to Zimbabwe,<br />
Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya<br />
and Sudan had to be put on hold during the<br />
enforced lockdowns, our Mission was as busy and<br />
productive as ever. As millions have migrated to<br />
Cape Town from all over Africa, we conducted over 200 outreaches within the Cape Peninsula. People from closed<br />
countries such as Saudi Arabia and Somalia<br />
are being evangelised and discipled in Cape<br />
Town. We greatly increased our online<br />
ministry, making available hundreds of<br />
tracts, articles and other Evangelistic and<br />
Discipleship resources digitally. 29 of<br />
my books are now available as E-books.<br />
Numerous of our Manuals and Handbooks<br />
are now available as Free PDF’s online.<br />

Muslim Evangelism Online<br />
By God’s grace, the www.TheMessageofNabiIsa.org website is operational, reaching Muslims for Christ. Based on the<br />
lifelong work of Missionary to Muslims, Gerhard Nehls, a long-time friend of our Mission, this website is designed to<br />
explain the Gospel to Muslims in both video and PowerPoint format. Colin designed the website and Hunter finished<br />
the video editing. The website also includes Dear Abdullah (correspondence designed by Gerhard Nehls to interact with<br />
Muslims and guide them, step by step, to understand the teachings of the Bible and to answer frequently asked questions).<br />
This website also includes a copy of the Injil (The Gospels of our Lord Jesus Christ). This is a wonderful online resource<br />
for evangelising and reaching Muslims with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in a way that is culturally appropriate and<br />
specifically designed to reach Muslims. This website and video have the potential to reach many hundreds of thousands<br />
of Muslims worldwide. Please share it with your Muslim neighbours, friends and contacts, or share with others that<br />
you are in correspondence with, or who live in communities where there are Muslims. “All the ends of the world shall<br />
remember and turn to the Lord and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the Kingdom is the<br />
Lord’s and He rules over the nations.” Psalm 22:27-28<br />
Free Digital Library Programme<br />
Our popular Library Programme has provided<br />
basic Discipleship Libraries for hundreds of<br />
pastors, teachers, chaplains, evangelists, students<br />
and prisoners throughout Africa, for decades.<br />
Now, since this year, we are able to offer this free<br />
Digital Library Programme to anyone online.<br />
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,<br />
a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly<br />
dividing the Word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15<br />

Originally designed to provide online resources for Persecuted<br />
Christians in Restricted Access Areas, WCBI is pleased<br />
to make these valuable resources more widely available,<br />

Bibles for Africa<br />
Despite Lockdown restrictions on travel, we managed to<br />
organise for Bible deliveries in indigenous African languages,<br />
including: Bemba, Chichewa, Moru, Ndebele, Shangaan,<br />
Shona, Xhosa and Zulu, to trusted pastors and evangelists<br />
in Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and<br />

We also took part in Webinars and conference events by<br />
Zoom. I travelled up the West coast to a remote area to<br />
conduct services and assist in a church planting project.<br />
March to Parliament<br />
We participated in a March to Parliament to protest against government complicity in farm murders and terrorism. I<br />
was asked to address the marchers at the gates of parliament and numerous radio and TV interviews followed up this<br />
event.<br />
Outreaches<br />
We distributed tens-of-thousands of tracts and Gospel booklets in outreaches in and around Cape Town during<br />
Women’s Day and for International Life Chain Sunday. Our missionaries conducted regular outreaches in least reached<br />
areas throughout the Cape Peninsula. We have engaged in over 200 outreaches this year, including on local university<br />
campuses, in Muslim neighbourhoods, door-to-door evangelism, street ministry, open air preaching, outside abortuarys,<br />

Churches on Lockdown<br />
Most churches in South Africa have not yet been able to reconvene Sunday worship services since the Lockdown<br />
was enforced from 26 March. This is because most congregations in our country do not have their own building, but<br />
depend on public venues, such as schools, town halls, scouts and girl guide halls. Under Lockdown regulations, these are<br />
forbidden to allow churches to meet during the dragged-out lockdown. This has left many frustrated over the failure of<br />
their local congregation to meet, minister and worship together. Many have come to Literature4Africa for literature and<br />
audio visual resources, to enable them to conduct home fellowship services.<br />
Livingstone House Building Project<br />
Throughout <strong>2020</strong>, we have been in the process of converting our attic at our Mission Headquarters into a multi-purpose<br />
hall (Upper Room – Bathman Memorial Hall) and extra accommodation. This has been long overdue as we have had<br />
to accommodate missionaries and guests in tents. There are many volunteers who would gladly work at our Mission, if<br />
we can provide accommodation. Now, by God’s grace and the generosity of Lenora who has put her entire inheritance<br />
from her parents, Rev. Bill and Harriett Bathman, into the Livingstone House Building Project, we also have four more<br />
bedrooms, a kitchenette, Pioneers Network Studio and a Comms/IT Workshop. We have also expanded our Men’s dorm.<br />
Since Reformation Day, the Upper Room has been used for Thursday night Reformation Society meetings and this year<br />
we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving in the Upper Room. For over a month, our regular radio recordings have been<br />
recorded in the Pioneers Network Studio, which is named after two of the Missions which Bill Bathman founded:<br />
Pioneers and Network. “The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad.” Psalm 126:3<br />

Back to the Bible Biblical Interpretation Course<br />
Hunter hosted a series of Biblical Interpretation Workshops at our Mission house with lay-preachers, pastors, teachers<br />
and evangelists who were given homework assignments to complete and were equipped with basic tools for rightly<br />
interpreting the Scriptures, understanding the historical background and importance of context in order to compile<br />
exegetical sermons. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed,<br />
rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15<br />
International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted<br />
For 30 years, Frontline Fellowship has been working, along with other missions to the persecuted<br />
worldwide, to promote IDOP. This is the largest prayer movement for the persecuted, focused on mobilising<br />
congregations to observe a Day of Prayer for the Persecuted, on the second Sunday in November each<br />
year. Frontline Fellowship runs the www.idop-africa.org website and we invite believers to join Christians<br />
throughout the world in praying with and for the Persecuted, providing them with news, articles,<br />
resources, PowerPoints, links, videos and contacts to enable them to mobilise friends, family, co-workers, congregations<br />
and community, to prayer and action on behalf<br />
of those who are persecuted for the Faith. Over<br />
400 million Christians live in the 67 countries of<br />
the world which severely restrict, or persecute,<br />
believers. “Remember the prisoners as if chained<br />
with them – those who are mistreated – since you<br />
yourselves are in the body also.” Hebrews 13:3<br />
War Against Historic Monuments<br />
The Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism declared their intention to break every tie of blood, soil, nation, race, religion<br />
and allegiance, through the Gramsci Strategy, the Termite Strategy, of eroding the heart and soul of Christian civilisation<br />
in preparation for Marxist Revolution. This is plainly what is behind the cancel culture targeting of historic monuments.<br />
When vandals decapitated the bust of Cecil John Rhodes in Cape Town, I took this as an opportunity to expose the<br />
Marxist agenda and teach on The Importance of Monuments and The Legacy of Cecil John Rhodes. Through letters to the<br />
Editor, on radio programmes, at public meetings and on social media, the battle raged and I was able to reach far more<br />
people by spring boarding off this act of vandalism than one could possibly reach through normal means. We helped<br />
launch Friends of Rhodes Memorial, retrieved the head of the monument and campaigned to restore the monument.<br />
When we met with intransigence by a political appointee, we launched the Friends of Rhodes Memorial website and<br />
Facebook page and a Petition. Pressure built and in response we received authorisation from South African National<br />
Parks to, at our own expense, restore the monument. Within the week, just in time for Heritage Day, the monument<br />
was completely restored and a team of volunteers arrived to give a spring clean to this popular tourist attraction and<br />
imposing monument with its eight imperial lions and the powerful energy horse monument, where Easter sunrise<br />
services are regularly celebrated. We sang the Hymn: He Who Would Valiantly Be and prayed. We also engaged in open<br />
air preaching to visitors of the monument.<br />
Rhodesia Ministry<br />
As Chairman for the Flame Lily Foundation – Cape Peninsula (FLF-CP), I serve as Chaplain<br />
for the Rhodesia Remembrance Services, Editor of The Fish Eagle and now contributing<br />
Editor to the Rhosarian Magazine. We have regular monthly meetings in Fish Hoek and I<br />
was heavily involved in the battle over Rhodes Memorial, which was vandalised. Through<br />
the efforts of Friends of Rhodes Memorial, which we helped start, the memorial was fully<br />
restored in time for Heritage Day. FLF-CP is also involved in helping Rhodesian pensioners<br />
and preserving the heritage of Rhodesia. To this end, we have begun a Rhodesia Heritage<br />
Library at Livingstone House. We also contribute regularly to the Rhodesians Worldwide<br />
magazine and Reclaiming Rhodesia.<br />
Cape Independence Movement<br />
This year, I was also asked to start the Cape Independence Forum. I regularly chair<br />
meetings by Zoom with different role players working for self-determination, secession<br />
and independence for a Free and Independent Cape of Good Hope. To this end, I have<br />
produced a number of articles and presentations, including: A Case for Cape Independence;<br />
Successful Secession in the Bible and History; and Eyewitness to Successful Secession<br />
12
Movements. The Cape Independence Handbook is now freely available online. We have seen tremendous growth in the<br />
Cape Independence movement in <strong>2020</strong>, including CapeXit growing from 10,000 members to over 600,000 by the end of<br />
this year. I have conducted meetings to USAF at Dalbarton in Zuidland, spoken at the CapeXit Conference and AGM,<br />
as well as a number of other Cape Independence events. The recent Stellenbosch March for Independence was very<br />
successful with a variety of movements and groups cooperating effectively together. I have had numerous radio and TV<br />
Interviews on this movement for Cape Independence, internationally.<br />
Home Education Fair on Reformation Day<br />
On Reformation Day, Saturday, 31 October, we hosted a Home Education Fair, where home educators set up displays<br />
and tables to sell homemade crafts, food and educational resources. There was also a Reformation Day Celebration<br />
service and a Variety Concert. Prizes were also awarded for the winners of the Reformation Art and Essay Competition<br />
<strong>2020</strong>. This was well supported and a thoroughly enjoyable day with very creative presentations.<br />
Christian Action<br />
This coming February, we will be celebrating 30<br />
years of Africa Christian Action. Africa Christian<br />
Action (ACA) has been organising Life Chains<br />
throughout Southern Africa since 1992. You can<br />
view the most recent Life Chain <strong>2020</strong> video. You can<br />
read the latest Christian Action magazine online. It<br />
includes over 80 pictures, including photo collages<br />
of the March for Life and Women’s Day Missions in<br />
the Mall outreaches in Cape Town. Articles include:<br />
Understanding Psychological Warfare; Responding to<br />
Revolution with Reformation; 1984 Seems Ominously<br />
Relevant Today and 20 Years Ago – African Penguin<br />
Rescue Operation. ACA has also been organising the<br />
Missions in the Malls for 25 years every Women’s<br />
Day. On Monday, 10 August, which was a public<br />
holiday in South Africa, we mobilised 57 volunteers<br />
in 6 teams to conduct outreaches in 8 areas of Cape<br />
Town. Collectively, we distributed over 14,000<br />
Gospel booklets, leaflets, books, New Testaments<br />
and Bibles and had the joy of counselling and<br />
praying with a number of responsive people on the<br />
streets, in shopping malls, parks and in homes. You<br />
can read about these City Wide Outreaches in Cape<br />
Town. “Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim<br />
the Good News of His Salvation from day to day.<br />
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders<br />
among all peoples.” 1 Chronicles 16:23-24<br />

Upcoming Events<br />
We are looking forward to the new year with many new possibilities and projects in the field, large quantities of Bibles<br />
and books are prepositioned for distribution in Sudan, the Livingstone House building extensions are progressing, the<br />
Biblical Worldview Summit begins next week, then we will be hosting Christian Science Engineer, Philip Stott, followed<br />
by Sanctity Life Sunday and the National Day of Repentance and March for Life. Numerous translations, writing and<br />
printing projects are also nearing completion. For all this we pray for God’s provision, protection and blessing.<br />
Multi-Generational Ministry of Multiplication<br />
It is our duty and destiny to be involved in a ministry of multiplication with a multi-generational vision. We are called<br />
to be strong and faithful as we equip and empower Evangelists to seek first the Kingdom of God, making disciples<br />
of nations, teaching obedience to all things that the Lord has commanded. The Great Commission is our Supreme<br />
Ambition. Christs last Command must be our first concern. “And the things that you have heard from me among many<br />
witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a<br />
good soldier of Jesus Christ.” 2 Timothy 2:2-3<br />
Thank You<br />
The missionaries, interns and staff of Frontline Fellowship join me in expressing our deep gratitude for your prayers,<br />
encouragement and support. We have much to be grateful for. God has protected us from many dangers, blessed and multiplied<br />
our humble, inadequate efforts for the extension of His Kingdom and to serve the suffering Church. We are deeply grateful<br />
for all of His provisions and magnificent answers to so many prayers. It is a great privilege to be His sons and daughters,<br />
His servants and soldiers, serving the suffering, training and mobilising Evangelists and educators, soul winners and nation<br />
transformers. By God’s grace, we trust our Lord Jesus Christ for a far more productive and effective year of ministry ahead.<br />
May God continue to be your joy and strength.<br />
Yours for Reformation, Revival and the fulfilment of the Great Commission<br />
Dr. Peter Hammond<br />
Director<br />
