Peter was born in Cape Town (in 1960) and brought up in Bulawayo (in what was then war-torn Rhodesia - now Zimbabwe). He was converted to Christ in 1977, worked in Scripture Union and Hospital Christian Fellowship, served in the South African Defence Force and studied at Baptist Theological College, (now Cape Town Baptist Seminary​). He also earned a Doctorate in Missiology and has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Divinity. Peter is married to Lenora, whose missionary parents Rev. Bill and Harriett Bathman pioneered missionary work, mostly into Eastern Europe, for over 60 years. Peter and Lenora have been blessed with 4 children: Andrea, Daniela, Christopher and Calvin whom they have home schooled. They now have two grandchildren, Jeremy and Joshua.
 
For over 43 years, Dr. Peter Hammond has pioneered missionary outreaches, including into the war zones of Mozambique, Angola and Sudan. Often travelling by off road motorbike, Peter has travelled hundreds of thousands of kilometres to deliver Bibles to persecuted Christians in Africa and Eastern Europe. In the course of his missionary activities, Peter has been ambushed, come under aerial and artillery bombardments, been stabbed, shot at, beaten by mobs, arrested and imprisoned. On some missions he has flown far behind enemy lines to the Nuba Mountains in central Sudan with tons of Bibles, books and relief aid. He has walked throughout the war devastated Nuba Mountains showing the Jesus film in Arabic, proclaiming the Gospel, training pastors and evading enemy patrols.
 
Rev. Peter Hammond is the Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship, the Founder and Chairman of Africa Christian Action, the Director of the Christian Action Network and Chairman of The Reformation Society. He is the author of Faith Under Fire In Sudan, Holocaust In Rwanda, In the Killing Fields of Mozambique, The Great Commission Manual, The Biblical Worldview Manual, Putting Feet To Your Faith, The Greatest Century of Missions, Biblical Principles For Africa, The Discipleship Handbook, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam - The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat, The Greatest Century of Reformation, The Power of Prayer Handbook, Practical Discipleship, Answering Skeptics, Old Testament Survey, Sketches from South African History, Victorious Christians – Who Changed the World, The Ten Commandments –God's Perfect Law of Liberty, Chaplains Handbook, Security and Survival Handbook and the New Testament Survey. He is the Editor of both Frontline Fellowship News and the Christian Action magazine.
 
Peter has developed the Biblical Worldview Seminar and Great Commission Course to mobilise churches to comprehensively apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life.
 
Peter has a great love for history and for wildlife. He enjoys reading, particularly history and primary resource documents on the Reformation and Missions. He co-ordinates Vikings4Christ, Literature4Africa and Livingstone Missionary School.
 
Along with his family, Peter enjoys hiking and mountain climbing and he is involved in various animal welfare groups. He has been involved in rescuing and caring for a wide variety of wild and domestic animals including penguins and Rhinos. He co-ordinates Wonderful Wildlife, We Love God's Animals and The Bible and Animals.
 
Peter hosted a weekly radio programme, Salt and Light, on Radio Tygerberg in Cape Town. Peter now hosts From the Frontline radio podcast. In his desire to apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of life, Peter has been actively involved in numerous social issues. Since 1991 he has been vigorously promoting the Pro-Life cause in South Africa, initiating and mobilising the annual Life Chains, Sanctity Life Sunday and National Day of Repentance. He has mobilised numerous of marches to Parliament, including the Christian Voice marches in 1995 and 1996 which mobilised over 30,000 Christians in protest against the planned new secular state and its constitutional approval of abortion, pornography and other social evils. Peter has been called upon to present submissions to various sub-committees at Parliament.
 
He has co-authored, or contributed to, various books dealing with social issues in South Africa including: Fight For Life - A Pro-life Handbook for Southern Africa; Make a Difference - A Christian Action Handbook For Southern Africa; South Africa - Renaissance or Reformation?; Finding Freedom From The Pornography Plague, Porndemic – How the Pornography Plague Affects You and What You Can Do About It, The Pink Agenda - Sexual Revolution and the Ruin of the Family In South Africa, Character Assassins - Dealing with Ecclesiastical Tyrants and Terrorists and Reforming Our Families. These books and campaigns have led to numerous opportunities to present Biblical principles through newspaper articles and on national radio and television programmes.
 
Peter has a strong commitment to Christian education, having helped to promote Christian education and home schooling in South Africa for over 30 years. He and his wife Lenora home educated their four children for over ten years and help provide Christian school textbooks through their Christian Liberty Books ministry. Through his Textbooks for Teachers programme Peter has been providing thousands of Christian school textbooks to community Christian schools in Zambia and Sudan. Peter has also helped sponsor Bible colleges and Christian schools in Zambia and Sudan. He is involved in mobilising support for Christians suffering in Zimbabwe, and in providing tons of relief aid for the victims of communism in Zimbabwe.
 
Peter is regularly involved in personal and literature evangelism in the streets and in the townships. Since he was converted in 1977, Peter has maintained a regular practice of going in to some of the busiest, poorest and most neglected areas to conduct mass literature distribution, film evangelism and personal one-on-one evangelism and discipleship. In squatter camps, shanty towns, inner city ghettos, in bus and train stations, in prisons, military bases and hospitals, he has continued to engage in Evangelism and Discipleship.
 
He is a Missionary member of Livingstone Fellowship. He is also the Chairman of The Reformation Society,  Henry Morton Stanley School of Christian Journalism and William Carey Bible Institute.

Do You Want to Serve in Missions?
Many people believe that the only way to serve in missions is through public speaking, preaching, teaching, or children’s ministry. Some think missions means living in a remote rural area, digging wells, or building churches. But, there are also many other important tasks and assignments that need to be done in order for any Mission to run effectively and efficiently to the glory of God. Frontline Fellowship is a unique Mission that for nearly 40 years has reached out to both remote and urban areas, with our Mission base in Cape Town. We have many opportunities for volunteers to serve at our Mission headquarters in practical ways.

Why Serve at Frontline Fellowship?
Among the many advantages of volunteering and serving at Frontline Fellowship is that we can offer practical teaching and training on the job, regular outreach opportunities and free accommodation at Livingstone House.

Furthermore, those who volunteer can go through numerous training courses such as Way of the Master and Evangelism Explosion, Biblical Worldview Summits, the Great Commission Course and possibly have opportunities for fieldwork, whether in South Africa, or even cross-border Africa overland missions, if they are so called and meet mission requirements. There are also many great opportunities to serve in this busy port city mission, with varied field projects and regular outreaches.

IN SERVICE TRAINING – MISSIONARY APPRENTICESHIP
If you are serious about missions and if you want to make the Great Commission your supreme ambition, you should prayerfully consider applying for Frontline Fellowship's in-service missionary programme.
 
WHY MISSIONARY APPRENTICESHIP?
All too many rush into short term missions without adequate training in evangelism or cross-cultural missions, without understanding the various religions and worldviews they will have to encounter and without an effective grasp of tried and field tested missionary strategies and tactics. On the other hand others get tied up in years of academic studies far removed from the hard realities of the mission fields and few end up actually persevering and succeeding in a missionary career. The attrition rate of first term missionary volunteers giving up is destabilizing missions worldwide. We need character development and in-service apprenticeship. Frontline Fellowship offers a practical, tried and tested balance between training and outreach.IN SERVICE TRAINING – MISSIONARY APPRENTICESHIP

​We are most grateful to Almighty God for His mercy, provision, guidance and protection throughout this last year. Among the many highlights were Missions to Kenya, Zimbabwe and Egypt, hosting the Eurochor during the Reformation events in Cape Town, invitations to participate in the KwaSizabantu Youth Conference, the Presbyterian Evangelistic Fellowship Family Conference at Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Georgia and a record number of new publications completed.

Great Commission Course
Our Great Commission Camp began on New Year's Day, 1 Jan, with 76 participants from as far afield as Germany, Malawi, Botswana, Zimbabwe and the United States of America. We were privileged to have three excellent guest speakers, including Don McAlvaney, Rev. Al Baker and George Ochse. Our three week Great Commission Course included: 16 P.T. sessions, 8 hikes, 5 adventure activities, 12 Devotions, 13 Bible Drills, 5 discussion groups, 58 lectures, 21 films, 10 outreaches and 12 church services. The GCC concluded with palletising and loading 24 tonnes of Bibles, New Testaments, Sunday school materials and Bible Study materials to donate to a ministry working throughout Africa.

Putting Feet to Your Faith
Just in time for our Great Commission Camp, we received back from the printer our new, completely revised, re-designed and updated, Putting Feet to Your Faith book (144 pages). Every participant was given a copy of this foundational Discipleship book.

Going On
Before the end of the course, we received the new book from the Chairman of the Board of Frontline Fellowship, Rev. Bill Bathman: Going On - With a Nod from God book (320 pages, 160 pictures). This fascinating book takes us on an unforgettable journey behind enemy lines, presenting remarkable interviews with courageous Christians under persecution and on the frontlines of Faith and freedom.

Biblical Faith and Modern Counterfeits and Biblical Preaching Handbook
In time for our first Missions across the border to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana, Biblical Faith and Modern Counterfeitsand the Biblical Preaching Handbook by David Frew, John Clifford and Hunter Combs, were completed and received back from the printers. There is a tremendous need for clear Biblical exposition and sound Hermeneutics. This Manual is much needed and was well received by Bible Colleges and Pastors' Seminars in Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The Greatest Century of Missions
Our good friend, Walter (who I have known since he and his wife first came out as Missionaries to Africa in 1981) requested permission to reprint 10,000 copies of The Greatest Century of Missionsbook. I knew that I had to do a complete revision, expansion and update of this, one of our most popular books. The original 6,000 print run of our 2002 edition had sold out some time ago. This request from our Missionary friends in East Africa provided the catalyst needed. Now expanded to 224 pages with over 200 pictures, photographs, maps and charts, the Greatest Century of Missions is a treasure trove of the incredible adventures, inspiring exploits and unbelievable achievements of some of the most extraordinary people in the most momentous era of Christian advance. Walter also wanted me to fly out to be their guest speaker at a series of conferences in Kenya to introduce the Youth Workers Toolkit as they described a selection of books they were seeking to provide to pastors, teachers and youth leaders throughout East Africa.

East Africa Christian Teachers Conference
Over 250 delegates from all over Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan gathered at Kabarak University for the East Africa Christian Teachers Conference. They responded enthusiastically to The Challenge of Dr. David Livingstone Today. In less than two weeks, I ministered at four conferences, four churches and one university, 22 meetings in all. Old Testament Survey
Sola Scriptura! was the battle cry of the Reformation. Scripture alone is our ultimate authority. However, while all Christians claim to believe the Bible, few seem to have actually read the whole Bible. Few Christians can articulate the central message, or clear distinctives, of each Book of the Bible. This Old Testament Survey is the first part of our Bible Survey. It has taken more three years to produce. The messages summarising each Book of the Old Testament, as presented to Livingstone Fellowship, are now available in an audio and data MP3 boxset. The Old Testament Survey book consists of 288 pages, including 37 pictures, maps, charts and chronologies. The Old Testament Survey Audio and Data MP3 boxset includes 42 audio sermons, over 28hrs of preaching and teaching and 39 PDF sermon notes. Several Bible Colleges have requested this The Old Testament Survey to use as textbooks and we were able to deliver and donate copies to Bible Colleges, Christian schools and churching during our South Africa Mission and cross-border Missions to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya and Egypt.

New Tracts Produced
By God's grace we produced a series of new tracts last year including: The Hard Words of Jesus, How Can I Know That Jesus is the Messiah?,Vocation Provides Purpose and Direction, Stamina, The Return of the Judaizers, The Heart and Soul of Karl Marx (also available in Afrikaans), Luke Warm Christians Make God Sick, Risen, God's Not Dead 2 - Faith on Trial and two new Afrikaans tracts: Die Mees Invloedryke Boek Ter Wêreld and Die Mees Invloedrykende Mens Wat Ooit Geleef Het. These have all been placed on our websites for anyone to download and print, for outreaches in their neighbourhoods. We now have over 70 Evangelistic and Discipleship tracts and leaflets available for download on www.frontline.org.za and www.livingstonefellowship.co.za.

Library Programme
Gill reports 207 mailings of free books from our Library Programme to pastors and prisoners last year. Most of the participants are prisoners, 16 of which received certificates for completing the book reports on the provided materials.

​Information Technology
Despite being very short staffed last year, our IT Department has made great strides in upgrading all aspects of our network, improving support processes and project managing to streamline operations. We have upgraded to Fibre Optic lines, which has saved much time for uploading sermons, lectures and radio interviews to SermonAudio.com and Soundcloud. Our Wifi security was fully tested when we faced hacking on all our computer sites, simultaneously. Christopher was the only one in the Comms office at the time of the critical attack and he stayed at his post all day and night until all was rectified and back on line. Closed circuit security cameras were upgraded and expanded throughout the Mission and additional security measures were established at key points.

Digital Evangelism and Discipleship
Many of the websites have been upgraded and adapted to accommodate the great increase in mobile devices and tablets accessing our websites. As the Mission rapidly moves into the digital market place this has greatly increased our ministry capacity for Evangelism and Discipleship online. Digital Libraries are also being produced to enable Christians in Restricted Access Areas to obtain Bibles and Bible teaching, both digital and audio, as well as films, in literally hundreds of languages.

Christian Liberty Books
By God's grace, at the beginning of March we were able to welcome Nick as new Manager of CLB. In the interim, over December, January and February when CLB had no manager, Colin, Tershia and later Francis filled the gap. They all worked long and hard to re-organise the book shop while providing textbooks ordered by Home Educators and others dependent on the ministry, while juggling other duties and ministry. CLB has a mailing list of 2,744 customers on the data base and over 6,000 titles in stock. Bestselling books in 2016 were Sketches from South African History, The Greatest Century of Missions, The Old Testament Survey, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam, Biblical Principles for AfricaandVictorious Christians Who Changed the World.Bestselling DVDs were Agenda 2andAudacity. Most popular MP3 audio boxset were South African History, Old Testament Survey and Slavery, Terrorism and Islam. The most popular combos were Old Testament Survey book and audio visual Boxsets and Sketches from South African History, book and audio and data boxset.

Design
Last year it was a joy to welcome my daughter, Daniela, onto our full-time staff as the Mission's new Designer. You will have noticed her distinct style and professionalism which has greatly improved all of our publications, websites, adverts, posters and leaflets. Daniela designed 12 book covers, 3 editions of Frontline Fellowship News, 3 editions of Christian Action News, 3 editions of Christian Liberty Books promos, 7 logos, 6 letterheads, 7 business cards, 14 leaflets, 15 adverts for JOY! Magazine, 7 adverts for JUIG! Tydskrif, many disc designs for audio visual MP3s and CDs, as well as 19 book posters, 16 event posters, 10 special offer adverts, 9 posters in Afrikaans and 9 posters for protests and outreaches.

Mozambique
Earlier in the year, Daniela had the opportunity to visit Mozambique. She reported on a vibrant country of friendly people delighted to receive Gospel literature in their language. When Frontline Fellowship was launched (last year marked the 35th anniversary of our first Mission across the border into Mozambique), Operation World described Mozambique as the least Evangelised country in the Southern Hemisphere, with less than one Bible for a thousand people. Barely 4% of the country could be described as Protestant at that time. Today over 30% of the population of Mozambique are Protestant, Evangelical and Bible-believing Christians. I wrote Mozambique Revisited to reflect on the tremendous answers to prayer in this our first Mission field.

Ministry Milestones
This April will mark 40 years since I first heard the Gospel and was converted to Christ, 3 April 1977. Our Mission launched its first cross-border Mission to Mozambique in April 1982, 35 years ago.

Chairman of the Board, Rev. Bill Bathman Enters Eternity
On Sunday, 11 December 2016, Rev. Bill Bathman ended his earthly ministry and entered eternity. For 65 years, Rev. Bill Bathman served as an Evangelist and Missionary, especially to the persecuted Church behind the Iron Curtain. For 14 years, Bill Bathman served as Chairman of the Board of Frontline Fellowship. We praise God for His faithful servant and for the very productive Missionary service of Bill Bathman. Our Son-in-law, Hunter Combs, officiated at the military funeral of Bill Bathman on 20 December. The Memorial Service will be held at 2pm, Friday, 27 January at the Auditorium used by Village Chapel at Sunland Village East, Arizona.

Livingstone House Building Extensions
To cope with continued growth of the Mission and to maximise our facilities, architectural plans have been approved to build onto the Mission House, converting our loft area and building a second floor to accommodate a multi-purpose hall and 3 more dormitories and a bookstore. We are trusting the Lord for funds to go up into our roof area this year.

Livingstone Missionary School
For several years Frontline Fellowship has been praying over acquiring a farm to establish Livingstone Missionary School. With the increasing demands for our camps and courses, we are seeking to establish Livingstone Farm, which will be a site for Wilderness Bush Camps, Leadership Training Courses, youth camps, school and Church camps, Biblical Worldview Seminars and Summits, Great Commission Courses, Security and Survival Training Programmes and the Livingstone Missionary School (LMS). We have identified a suitable remote and mountainous location and are now trusting the Lord for the funds needed to purchase the farm and adapt it to these ministry needs.

Ministry to Museums
During South Africa Missions, we visited numerous museums, monuments and battle sites, offering our new Sketches from South African History book and South African History audio and data MP3 boxset. With so many attacks on monuments and attempts to distort history, it is more important and urgent than ever that Christians are engaged in public debates and contribute to understanding the times from a Biblical perspective (1 Chronicles 12:32).

Civil War in South Sudan
9 July this year marked the 5th anniversary of the Independence of South Sudan. Yet there was little to celebrate as intertribal violence has continued to break out between the Nuer followers of Riek Machar and the government of South Sudan and President Salva Kiir. During the long war, Riek Machar's forces served as surrogates for the Arab government of Sudan, who armed and aided them while they waged scorched earth campaigns against the neighbouring Dinka tribe, destroying vast amounts of cattle and looting livestock. Corruption and treachery by Riek Machar let to his dismissal as vice president of South Sudan and the violence between Dinka and Nuer elements of the presidential guard and army. Despite the volatile and dangerous situation, we are continuing to seek to aid the church and supply Bibles and Chaplains Handbooks for the armed forces in South Sudan and the Nuba Mountains, who are under relentless attack from the Arab government. "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." Psalm 127:1

Eurochor in Cape Town
We praise God for a most blessed, inspiring and empowering series of Reformation Celebration events and outreaches in Cape Town with the 140-voice Eurochor from Europe. We negotiated with the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront to use the Amphitheatre to introduce the Eurochor to Cape Town. In brilliant sunshine, on a busy Saturday afternoon, the Eurochor made a bold stand for Christ, singing: "His Name is Wonderful, Let us Praise God Together, Speak to my Soul, O It is Wonderful to be a Christian, Make Me a Channel of Your Peace, Take My Life and Let it Be Consecrated Lord to Thee, Wachet Auf, C'est vers Toi que je me tourne,SurelyandI Will Serve Thee". When the choir began singing "Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me…" many in the audience joined in the singing. On Reformation Sunday, Eurochor was a vital part of the celebrations in the historic Lutheran Church, Cape Town, the oldest Protestant Church still in operation in the Southern Hemisphere. On Reformation Day, 31 October, the Eurochor made our Reformation Celebration service at the Huguenot Monument in Franschhoek unforgettable as we sang "A Mighty Fortress is Our God."

Africa Reformation Overland Mission
One of the many significant events of our Reformation Day Celebration service at Franschhoek was setting aside and commissioning the first of our Africa Reformation Overland Mission teams who will conduct Reformation Seminars throughout Southern, Central and East Africa, God willing, in the first half of the year as we approach the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's, launching of the Reformation.

Let the Earth Hear His Voice
As we enter into the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation and seek to educate and evangelise, equip and empower families, congregations, communities and countries, to return to the Bible, pray for our teams and our members throughout Africa and Europe as we conduct Soul-Winning Seminars, Discipleship Seminars, Evangelism Workshops, Reformation Conferences and establish Revival Prayer groups, Bible Study groups, Reformation Societies and Christian Action Groups that will initiate Back to the Bible movements throughout our countries and continents.

"Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" Psalm 85:6

Thank you

The Missionaries and Staff of Frontline Fellowship join me in expressing our deep gratitude for your prayers, encouragement and support. We have so very much to praise and thank God for. He has protected us from all danger, blessed and multiplied our humble, inadequate efforts for the extension of His Kingdom and to serve the suffering Church. We are deeply grateful for all His provisions and magnificent answers to so many prayers. It is a privilege to be His sons and daughters, His servants and soldiers, serving the suffering, training and mobilising Evangelists and educators, soul-winners and nation transformers. By God's mercy, we trust our Lord Jesus Christ for an even more productive and effective year of ministry ahead.

"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.

Yours for Reformation, Revival and the fulfilment of the Great Commission

The Great Commission Camp provides an ideal introduction to the GCC with the theme of Changing Your Nation for Christ.

Do you want to learn how to share your Faith effectively?
If so, then join us for an Evangelism and Discipleship ‘boot camp’ at a forest campsite by a lake.

International Participation
Participants of previous Great Commission Camps have come from afar afield as Australia and America, New Zealand and Nigeria, Ghana and Germany, Congo and Canada, Sudan and South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Russia and Rwanda, Malawi and Mozambique, Uganda and England.

Join other Christians who are dedicated to making Christ's Great Commission our supreme ambition - at the foot of Africa in Cape Town. A uniquely practical camp for all those who desire to be more innovative and effective in cross-cultural Evangelism and Discipleship.

The last Command of Jesus ought to be our first concern.
 
"Expect great things from God! Attempt great things for God!" William Carey

Experience the Joy of Leading Others to Christ
Does the thought of sharing the Gospel, especially with skeptics, terrify you? Then this camp is for you! Sharing your Faith doesn’t need to be a terrifying experience – it can be God-glorifying and fun!

We teach simple, but effective, Evangelism methods, developed by Evangelism Explosion and Way of the Master that uses the Ten Commandments to bring conviction of sin and show people their need for Repentance and Faith in Christ. The camp will also cover numerous effective field-tested “Answers for Skeptics”. We’ll be putting feet to our Faith, with an outreach in the area.

In the Frontline of Missions
Frontline Fellowship has pioneered missionary work in war-torn Mozambique and Angola in the 1980's and in Islamic Sudan since 1995. Frontline Fellowship smuggled over 300 000 Bibles and Christian books in 24 languages into Sudan, and has trained many thousands of pastors, teachers, chaplains and medics in restricted access areas.

Practical
The Great Commission Camp has been designed by Frontline Fellowship as a uniquely practical camp for all those who desire to be more innovative and effective in Evangelism and Discipleship.

Insight
If you want to see behind the scenes of what is actually involved in cross-cultural missionary work, particularly in areas where Christians are persecuted for their Faith, then the GCC is for you.

Intensive
The Great Commission Camp is followed up by an intensive three-week training course with daily outreaches and practicals, hands-on ministry in townships, taxi ranks and railway stations, etc. Those who are serious about Missions, are invited to apply for the full three-week course.

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am withyou always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20
