3 April 1977, I was converted to Christ.
​
It happened at the Ster Kinekor cinema in Pinelands... ​

My family had moved from Rhodesia to Cape Town. We were living in Pinelands, just a few kilometres from where I had been born. It was Sunday evening, 3rd April 1977, when I walked over to the local cinema, with little realisation of how dramatically that would change my life forever. 

Ambushed by the Gospel
​At that time, commercial activity on Sunday was prohibited in South Africa by law. No cinemas were open, in honour of the Lord’s Day. The local Baptist Church had hired out the cinema for an Evangelistic rally. The guest preacher, Rev. Rex Matthie, preached a powerful message on what Christ had suffered for us: “Jesus died for you. What have you ever done for Him?”

​Conviction
I sat stunned and ashamed. I had never done anything for God. My family was quite secular. We never attended church services, not even on Christmas days. Sunday school had never been part of my life. We did not even pray before meals. Like my father, I described myself as an “agnostic.”

The Real Jesus of History and The Verdict of Sceptics
By Dr. Peter Hammond

Who Cares?
Jesus Christ came into this world to reach those who feel that nobody cares.  Jesus does care, and He is reaching the lonely and the desperate, the confused and the hurt, the grieving and devastated, the depressed and the disillusioned.  Jesus, Himself, is reaching out to you.

“But God demonstrated His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ did for us.” Romans 5”8

ARE YOU AFRAID FOR THE FUTURE?
 By Dr. Peter Hammond 
 
Are we as Christians doomed to defeat on earth – or are we destined for victory? 
Does your understanding of the future inspire you to positive prayer and action?
Or are you being paralysed into inactivity by an eschatology of escapism?
Is your faith being strengthened by the victorious vision of the Bible?
Or have you been neutralised by a defeatist view of the end times?
Do you long to see the Church revived and faithfully “making disciples of all nations”? 
Or do you long to be removed from your responsibilities here on earth?
Is the fulfillment of our Lord’s Great Commission your supreme ambition? 
Or is your main obsession to be raptured from your responsibilities here on earth?

 A Celebration of Evil
Halloween is a religious day, but it is not Christian. Tom Sanguinet, a former high priest in Wicca has said: "The modern holiday that we call Halloween has its origins in the full moon closest to November 1, the witches' new year. It is a time when the spirits (demons) are supposed to be at their peak power and revisiting planet earth… Halloween is purely and absolutely evil, and there is nothing we ever have, or will do, that would make it acceptable to the Lord Jesus."

 Day of Death
Halloween has strong roots in paganism and witchcraft. It began as the Druid festival of Samhain. The Celts considered November 1st the day of death, because, in the Northern hemisphere, this was the beginning of winter, the leaves were falling, it was getting darker earlier, and temperatures were dropping. They believed that their sun god was losing strength and Samhain, the lord of death, was overpowering the sun god. The druids also taught that on 31 October, on the eve of the feast, Samhain assembled the spirits of all who had died during the previous year to return to their former home to visit the living.

Bad Times are Good for Spiritual Work
During an all-night prayer meeting in the South African Infantry, the Lord clearly communicated a vision of responding to terrorism with Evangelism. The communists are coming to us with bombs and hate, have we ever gone to them with Bibles and the love of Christ? They are planting landmines in our roads, we need to plant Bible study and Prayer Fellowships in their countries. Marxists seek to subvert our society, we need to undermine terrorism by launching evangelistic missions across the border into their areas. The Great Commission must be our supreme ambition. The best form of defence is offence. Frontline Fellowship was born out of the Bible study and prayer meetings of 6 SAI Bn. We smuggled thousands of Bibles and tens of thousands Gospel booklets into communist Angola and Mozambique, screened the Jesus film to multitudes of Marxists. I had the privilege of preaching the Gospel to terrorists and counselling communists to Christ. Then we helped train and equip chaplains amongst the anti-Communist guerrilla forces of UNITA in Angola and RENAMO in Mozambique. We can undermine terrorism by promoting evangelism in those areas targeted by extremists. https://www.christianlibertybooks.co.za/item/frontline__behind_enemy_lines_for_christ_pb
