Mission to Mpumalanga By God's grace, I have completed another Mission to Mpumalanga, in the eastern Transvaal. You can listen to Justin interviewing me on the recent From the Frontline radio interview report back on this Prison Ministry here: https://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/e/from-the-frontline-episode-264-prison-ministry/ Living Testimonies at Amazing Grace This involved over 30 meetings, including 3 days of ministering in the Barberton Medium B Prison to some very enthusiastic inmates. They have a well-organised church, Amazing Grace Church in the prison run by a previous senior policeman, who is in for murdering his wife and the man she was having an affair with. Richard’s co-pastor, Lloyd, a Zimbabwean, who is in for murder and robbery, came and warmly embraced me, happy to meet “a fellow Rhodesian.” There were 20 Zimbabweans in the prison. Everyone in this unusual congregation has an interesting story. We had great times of enthusiastic praise and worship and I presented a Discipleship course, which they entitled Living Testimonies which included giving the testimony of: Pray for the Upcoming Congo River Mission An estimated 18 million people are spread out in often very isolated villages in the Congo River basin. Their daily existence is desolate there are no roads to their villages and they can only be reached by boat via the river. The Congo River is very deep at places. It is a fast-flowing river which can swell up to 16 km wide in the rainy season. Our missionary, Johan, who served for many years as an officer in the South African Navy, has travelled the full length of the Congo River and after intensive research developed a comprehensive strategy to fulfil the Great Commission in this large and neglected mission field. Communist revolution and terrorism in the 1960s wrecked havoc amongst the Christian communities in the Congo.

Serving the Persecuted
For over 40 years, Frontline Fellowship has been mobilising prayer and action on behalf of the persecuted church. In the last month we responded to a series of invitations to speak at public meetings, took part in numerous radio and TV broadcasts worldwide and sent out a series of Emails to mobilise prayer and action for Christians suffering persecution. Sunday, 13 November was International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted. Many visited our www.idop-africa.org website for resources to mobilise prayer and action on behalf of those suffering for Christ. Click here for a 3-minute video: Remember the Persecuted. You can listen to some of the From the Frontline podcasts Learning from the Persecuted, Ministering to the Persecuted and The Real Story of Persecuted People. "And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the Body of Christ and members individually." 1 Corinthians 12:26-27 Great Commission Course Our intensive three-week Great Commission Course included pastors and teachers from America, Zambia and Zimbabwe and participants from all over South Africa, including one young man who cycled over 860 km from the Orange Free State to come to this missionary training programme. The GCC 2022 included daily PT, regular hikes and mountain climbing, studying examples of excellence from Missions history, especially from the Greatest Century of Missions, studies in missionary models seen in the Book of Acts, the Way of the Master 8 part Basic Training Course in Evangelism, Evangelism Explosion training, the full Call for Discernment Seminar by Justin Peters, Muslim Evangelism, understanding Animism and Hinduism, day trips to historic sites, such as the Huguenot Museum and Monument in Franschhoek, Salem Biblical Garden, near Wellington, Eagle Encounter, Cheetah Outreach and visits to Missions and a work party at a rural mission station, outreaches as far afield as Franschhoek, Klipheuwel, Mannenberg and Bo-Kaap, one on one personal Evangelism on the streets, mass literature distribution, door-to-door ministry, Sunday church services, assignments, exams and numerous practicals. Despite cold and wet weather the participants persevered, keeping steadfast and focused as we seek to be faithful to the Lord, to His Word and to His work. Several of our participants had the joy of praying with people on the street and counselling them to salvation in Christ. After the last night when we climbed Table Mountain, I spent the rest of Tuesday night into the early hours of the morning marking the many exams and assignments so that, at the conclusion on Wednesday afternoon, everyone could receive their certificates and marked exams and assignments before departing. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” Isaiah 52:7 By God's grace, I safely returned from a series of missions to Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal. During this time I had the privilege of ministering at KwaSizabantu Mission at both morning and evening services in the auditorium and at the Cedar International Academy teacher training Chapel. I was able to visit and pray with the Founder of KwaSizabantu, Rev Erlo Stegen, spending hours with him, reminiscing, discussing Heaven, reading the Scriptures and singing joyful hymns. Uncle Erlo has been one of our very best friends, mentors, inspiration and example of excellence. He is also an Honorary member of the Board of Frontline Fellowship.
