Thanksgiving for 40 years of God's Grace and
Guidance, Provision and Protection
"Give thanks to the Lord, call
on His Name; make known
among the nations what He has
done...
Give thanks to the Lord for
He is good; His love endures
forever." 1 Chronicles 16:8,34
Sacrificial Support & Service
As Frontline Fellowship
celebrates 40 years of God's grace
and guidance, provision and
protection, we want to recognise
those who sacrificed for, served
and stood by this mission. The
prayer warriors, supporters,
volunteers, co-workers, interns
and missionaries who went above
and beyond the call of duty,
whose labour of love has edified
and empowered God's people
as we strive to seek first God's
Kingdom and His righteousness,
making disciples and teaching
obedience to all things that the
Lord has commanded. Those
who had the stamina to remain
steadfast and persevere against
all odds will be rewarded by the
Lord of the Harvest.
Anthony Duncan
In particular, we honour the
memory of Anthony Duncan
who died in the service of
Christ, December 1994. When
four Frontline vehicles were
sent into the field, but only one
vehicle came back. In the early
morning mist of 14 December
1994, Frontline Fellowship Field

Behind Enemy Lines—Preaching in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan—1998

Worker, Anthony Duncan, was
killed in a head-on collision.
Anthony was part of our
mission team which succeeded
in smuggling over a tonne of
medical supplies and Bibles into
Angola. They were ambushed
when exiting Angola and jailed in
Namibia. The vehicle I drove up
to Zambia needed to be diverted
after our Biblical Worldview
Seminar in Lusaka, to rescue
our workers stranded in
Caprivi (Namibia). As my
mentor, Francis Grim
declared: “A missionary
must be ready to
preach, pray, or die,
at a moment’s
notice!” Those
who knew
Anthony
were
struck
by his
radiant faith and his vibrant
devotion for our Lord Jesus
Christ. He died in the service of
Christ, after having faithfully
ensured that suffering Christians
in Angola had received lifegiving
medicines and the lifetransforming
Word of God,
which an international shooton-sight
blockade was seeking
to deny them. Anthony chose
to obey God rather than man.
Anthony Paul Duncan could truly
say: “I have fought the good
fight, I have finished the race,
I have kept the Faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7
Fathers in the Faith
We are all indebted to our fathers
in the Faith, the pioneers who
prepared the way for us and
the examples of excellence who
inspire us. God's Hall of Faith
in Hebrews 11 points us to the
great cloud of witnesses in Bible
history. Abraham, the father of
the faithful and a missionary
who left his home country, his
father's house and travelled to
a new land which God guided
him to. Moses, Joshua, David,
Daniel inspire us to this
day. The apostles Peter
and Paul and their
fellow missionaries,
Anthony Duncan
Soldier, Game Ranger, Missionary
Timothy and Titus, John Mark
and Luke. The great missionaries
of history - Patrick, Columba,
Boniface, William Carey, David
Livingstone, Hudson Taylor,
C.T. Studd, Mary Slessor. The
Reformers - John Wycliffe,
Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli,
John Calvin. Great preachers and
teachers like George Whitefield,
Jonathan Edwards and Charles
Spurgeon. And in our lifetime
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn,

Ingrid Eva Hammond
Erlo Stegen. Their testimonies
and teachings continue to
challenge us to go deeper into
God's Word, to go further in our
adventure of discipleship, to
widen our missionary vision and
to deepen our devotion.
Raised in Rhodesia
As my mother taught me to
read before I went to school and
as my parents were avid book
readers, I had the privilege of
being brought up in a home
where reading books was part of
our daily life. As a schoolboy in
Rhodesia, my best friends were
animals and books. I am greatly
indebted to my mother who
taught me to love reading and I
am grateful for the many authors
whose books enriched my life
and helped prepare me for this
mission. I am also grateful for
the privilege of being brought up
in such a magnificent country as
Rhodesia. Our Prime Minister,
Ian Smith, is an example of
integrity. He was a man of his
word. He said what he meant
and he meant what he said. My
first history teacher in high
school, Mr Reese-Davies, taught
me to question everything. To
always ask: Why? To refuse to
accept the standard narrative,
or the textbook version of
history, but to always seek out
and understand the context. I
am grateful for a real education
which taught me to think
critically.
Doc Watson
Conversion to Christ
Praise God for Rev Doc Watson,
who, as Pastor of Pinelands
Baptist Church, organised the
evangelistic outreach in the local
cinema, where I was confronted
with the Gospel and converted to
Christ. Doc Watson was a patient
and dedicated Bible teacher who
discipled me and also insisted
that I go to Theological college.
Doc Watson later became the
first Chairman of the Board of
Frontline Fellowship
– a position he
held for 16 years
until the Lord
called him home.
Bill McDougall,
of the Leprosy
Mission, trained
me in ministering
in old age homes
and with people
on the streets. His
wise counsel and
example was very
helpful in my early
discipleship.
Hospital Christian Fellowship
It was a privilege to be mentored
by Francis Grim, the Founder of
Hospital Christian Fellowship,
who established missions in
over 110 countries. Uncle
Francis taught me how to live
by faith and how to prevail in
prayer through days and nights
of intensive intercession. As
I conducted my first mission
into Mozambique while under
En route to Mozambique—1982
Hospital Christian Fellowship, I
dedicated my book, In the Killing
Fields of Mozambique to Francis
Grim.
Baptist Theological Seminary
My favourite lecturer
at Baptist Theological
College, was Professor
Fritz Haus. He taught
Old Testament Exegesis.
Dr. Haus was a Godfearing,
dedicated Christian
Missionary. A veteran of the
Second World
War, he had led
Bible studies and
prayer meetings
in North Africa as
part of Rommel’s
Afrika Korps. For
over 60 years he
planted Churches
throughout South
Africa. Dr Fritz
Haus introduced
me to the doctrines
of the Reformation
and the Christology
of the Old
Testament. Therefore, I dedicated
my Old Testament Survey Book to
Dr Fritz Haus.
Gospel Defence League
Mrs Dorothy Scarborough, who,
with her husband Dr Charles
Scarborough, served under the
London Missionary Society
in the Gilbert Islands of the
Pacific ocean, founded Gospel
Defence League and has been a
steadfast friend, Board member
Francis Grim Erlo Stegen With Bill Bathman at the Battlefront in Sudan
and supporter of our mission
over the last 39 years. Her wise
counsel and insights have been
invaluable for our mission.
KwaSizabantu Mission
Rev Erlo Stegen has been a
tremendous inspiration and
example of dedication and
devotion. Uncle Erlo and his
family and co-workers have
been our very best friends.
Friends in need. We praise God
for His abundant grace which
has been poured out through
the multitude of ministries
that continue to flow from
this extraordinary mission in
KwaZulu. The two editions of my
book, Putting Feet to Your Faith,
are dedicated to Erlo Stegen.
James Kennedy
Dr James Kennedy was a faithful
friend and Board member
of Frontline Fellowship. His
Evangelism Explosion has been
a key part of our mission for
the last 40 years. Dr Kennedy
Dr James Kennedy
regularly had me as a guest on
his radio and TV programmes,
welcomed me as a guest speaker
to Coral Ridge Presbyterian
Church, even in his pulpit. He
donated thousands of books to
our mission. Dr Kennedy also
wrote recommendations for
several of my books including:
Faith Under Fire in Sudan,
Biblical Principles for Africa,
Character Assassins – Dealing
with Ecclesiastical Tyrants and
Terrorists and The Greatest
Century of Reformation.
R C Sproul
The teachings of RC Sproul,
one of the greatest Christian
Theologians and Apologists
of the 20th century, have
greatly enriched our ministry.
Dr R C Sproul responded to
my challenge to produce a
Reformation Study Bible in
time for the Reformation 500 in
2017. He even donated 2000
copies of this Reformation
Study Bible for us to distribute
to college libraries, pastors
and missionaries throughout
Africa. I dedicated the second
edition of Greatest Century of
Reformation to RC Sproul.
David Noebel
Dr David Noebel of Summit
Ministries and the Christian
Anti-Communism Crusade
first encouraged me to come
to the United States after my
release from prison in Zambia
in 1987. Dr Noebel made
me a regular guest speaker at
Summit Ministries for 25 years.
His Understanding The Times
and The Battle for Truth books
became textbooks for our Biblical
Worldview Summits throughout
Africa.
Brent Noebel
The third edition of Faith Under
Fire in Sudan was dedicated to
Brent Noebel who, although
blind for the last 21 years of his
life, had such great vision that
he raised most of the funds that
enabled Frontline Fellowship to
deliver hundreds of thousands
of Bibles and New Testaments,
Christian school textbooks,
audio Bibles and Christian films
to Sudan.
Bill Bathman
By God's grace, I had the privilege
of travelling throughout Europe,
East and West with Rev Bill
Bathman, learning from one of
the most gifted Evangelists it has
ever been my privilege to serve
under. In Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Poland, Hungary, Czech
and Slovakia, Yugoslavia, Croatia,

Lenora Hammond (née Bathman)
Romania, Bulgaria and Albania,
throughout North America and
into Mexico, throughout South
Africa and South West Africa/
Namibia, Angola, Zambia,
Zimbabwe, Kenya and Sudan. Bill
Bathman served as Chairman of
the Board of Frontline Fellowship
for 14 years. More than anyone
else, Bill Bathman invested
in this mission: time, talents
and treasure. He was the most
active board member involved
in camps and courses, teaching
and counselling, strategy and
street evangelism, raising funds
for field vehicles, organising
speaking itinerary opportunities,
open air preaching, Missions
across the border, even at the
battlefront in Sudan and on
Africa Overland Missions. I
dedicated the first edition of
Faith Under Fire in Sudan to
Bill and Harriet Bathman. Of
course he greatly enriched all
of our lives by entrusting his
Upper Room—Bathman Memorial Hall
Meeting with Commander Salva Kiir of the SPLA, now President of South Sudan
youngest daughter, Lenora,
into my care. The Upper
Room – Bathman Memorial
Hall is another testimony to
the tremendous vision and
sacrifice of Bill Bathman and
his daughter Lenora, who
poured her inheritance into
the building expansions here at

First Hand Eyewitness
History
Frontline - Behind Enemy
Lines for Christ, is a first hand,
eyewitness account of war and
persecution during tumultuous
events. From the Bush War in
Rhodesia to the Border war in
South West Africa and Angola, to
the killing fields of Mozambique,
capture, interrogation,
imprisonment, smuggling
behind the Iron Curtain, the
Seven year Jericho Prayer March
that led to the Fall of the Berlin
Wall, the collapse of the Iron
Curtain, Revolution in Romania,
Missions to Albania, the most
atheist country in Europe, the
Holocaust in Rwanda, under
artillery and rocket fire and aerial
bombardment in Sudan, to the
successful struggle for secession
of South Sudan, Frontline - Behind
Enemy Lines for Christ covers
40 incredible years of Frontline
Fellowship missions throughout
38 countries and eight wars in
Africa and Eastern Europe.
The Present Crises
This book is very relevant to
this time of war in Ukraine,
Critical Race Theory in the
classroom, BLM riots in the
streets, manipulative propaganda
on the mainstream media,
hypocrisy and double standards
by politicians and sinister
globalist intrigues to undermine
Faith and freedom worldwide.
Frontline - Behind Enemy Lines for
Christ provides unique insights
from recent history into a wide
range of controversial issues,
including communism, the abuse
of relief aid, Islamic Jihad, the
dangers of liberation theology,
the catastrophic consequences
of compromise and cowardice,
the treachery of the United
Nations in Angola, during
the Rwandan genocide and in
undermining freedom of religion
in Sudan, along with inspiring
stories of Christian courage
and tenacity amidst intense
conflict and tribulation. It will
empower readers to recognise
the tactics of Marxists and
provide facts needed to counter
the disinformation and guilt
manipulation of globalists today.
More importantly it will inspire
greater resistance to revolution
and to the nefarious agenda of
those who are working for a one
world government, one world
economic system and one world
interfaith religion (Revelation
13).
Behind the News Headlines
Frontline - Behind Enemy Lines
for Christ includes many behindthe-scenes
and behind-thenews
headlines events and
dramatic confrontations with
terrorists, false teachers and
even heads of state. Including
when Col Jan Breytenbach and I
walked into Angola to confront
communist forces with the
Gospel of Christ, clashes with
archbishop Desmond Tutu and
president Nelson Mandela,
international intrigues with
Kenneth Kaunda, treachery and
betrayal. It presents the epic
saga of Frontline Fellowship
missionaries serving persecuted
Christians and evangelising in
war-zones throughout Africa and
Eastern Europe. It has a powerful
message of hope, with many
examples of successful initiatives
that resulted in captives being set
free, communists and jihadists
converted to Christ, once closed
countries now open to the
Gospel, successful secessions
and dramatic transformations of
The First Shipment of Bibles in Moru delivered to the Cathedral in Lui—2000
communities and countries.
Resistance & Reformation
It is our prayer that this book
on the realities of communist
terrorism and tyranny, Islamic
Jihad, persecution of the
church, globalist treachery, the
infiltration and subversion of
the church by false prophets and
Marxists in religious disguise
and the steadfast resistance of
many courageous Christians,
along with incredible answers
to prayer, will inspire a new
generation to fight the good
fight of Faith and make Christ’s
Great Commission their Supreme
Ambition, even behind enemy
lines, in Restricted Access Areas.
We pray that those who read this
book will be convinced of the
importance of joining this Back
to the Bible for Reformation and
Revival movement. “ … And you
know in all your hearts and
in all your souls that not one
thing has failed of all the good
things which the Lord your God
spoke concerning you. All have
come to pass for you; not one
word of them has failed.”
Joshua 23:14
