Christmas Outreach at the Red Cross Children's Hospital By Dr. peter Hammond  By God's grace, we were able to conduct a Christmas outreach at the Red Cross Children's Hospital in Rondebosch.This is the same hospital where my son Christopher received his kidney transplant 15 years ago in 2010.
Another Example of Why we should Not Trust the Mainstream Secular Media or their political polls.
by Dr. Peter Hammond
How Could the Mass Media be so Wrong, again!
The decisive election 2024 victory for President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again MAGA Republican movement in the United States provides yet another example of how we cannot trust the mainstream secular media or their political polls, which are often no more than wishful thinking for the political left. For months we have been subjected to psychological warfare propaganda tactics by the so-called mainstream/lamestream secular media. Kamala Harris Leads, Trump behind in the polls, this election is too close to call, but Harris is in the Lead…. Trump has no chance of winning… Trump falsely claims with no evidence… and hordes of other prejudicial fake news titles. Donald Trump not only won most of the state electoral votes, but he decisively won the popular vote. Nor was the campaign that close as claimed: Donald Trump won more than 5 million more votes than the Democratic candidate! From the FRONTLINE MAILBAG 2024For your edification, inspiration and for intercession, here is a small selection of remarkable, written responses that we have received by mail, e-mail or comments on our websites and social media pages, from friends and supporters, and from the field, in 2024. Please continue to lift up these people and countries in prayer. Please continue to intercede that our publications, outreaches, workshops, broadcasts and courses may continue to renew minds, change hearts, transform lives and disciple nations.  “We are overwhelmed and blessed that your Mission was so very successful, as we expected, as Jesus has anointed you with an overflowing presence of His Holy Spirit and presence. Your reports are most encouraging to us here in Scotland. I listened to your new video about the Sabbatians, and it is absolutely what is transpiring in our world system at this moment in time. We can only keep our eyes on the Lord and persevere in patience, as John in Revelation instructs us. We continue to watch and pray for you all at Frontline. I take courage in your exploits and follow your progress with eager anticipation, as if I were there with you. Africa has always been in my heart since I was saved. Rejoice! You are walking in the footsteps of giants” – C-family, Scotland WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE THAT THE BIBLE

Cape Town has many important historic links with Rhodesia. The Founder of Rhodesia, Cecil John Rhodes, was also Prime Minister of the Cape, and we are blessed by Kirstenbosch Gardens and the Groote Schuur Estate which the Founder gifted to the people of the Cape, along with Newlands Forest. Rhodes Memorial, which the people of the Cape erected to his memory, and Rhodes Cottage, where CJR passed away are also in our area. Barely a mile away from Rhodes Cottage is St James hotel, where the last Prime Minister of Rhodesia, Ian Douglas Smith, passed away.
We also have a famous statue of Cecil John Rhodes in the Gardens of Cape Town. In this volatile age of Rhodes Must Fall cancel culture, arson attacks and pulling down of historic monuments, as Chairman of Flame Lily Foundation- Cape of Good Hope I have had the privilege of Standing up and articulating the case for CJR at public meetings, on radio programs, TV programs and in interviews and Letters to the Editor of local community newspapers and overseas magazines. We have also been involved in mobilizing manpower for several work parties in helping to repair, clean up and preserve Rhodes Memorial and support Rhodes Cottage events. These initiatives were reported on in local community newspapers.
Since the FLF AGM 2023 unanimously agreed to fund the protection, restoration and renovations of Cecil Rhodes Cottage, we have made much progress on our partnership with the Muizenberg Historic Society for the protecting, renovating and preserving of Rhodes Cottage. This vital project is firmly within the stated objectives of Flame Lily Foundation: to preserve the History and Heritage of Rhodesia

Decisive and effective action at this time, with these projects, in helping to restore Rhodes Memorial and Rhodes Cottage and museum, could well motivate more to become active members, inspire more support and lead to an increased capacity to support vulnerable and destitute members of Flame Lily.
Those who claim that this restoration and preservation project is beyond the constitution of FLF are wrong. The stated objective of Flame Lily Foundation is to preserve the History and Heritage of Rhodesia. We have undertaken intensive further investigation as agreed at the previous AGM.
Our investment in time, talent and treasure, in Cecil Rhodes Cottage will inspire more support worldwide to this worthy project as progress is seen and reported on.
We are convinced that this really is a critical moment upon which the future of Flame Lily Foundation depends.
If we continue to take the initiative and make a positive difference in preserving this historic monument and museum of the Founder of Rhodesia, it will inspire more support for the project from other bodies and probably raise more recruits and members for Flame Lily Foundation, especially from the younger generation (including our children and grandchildren) who are essential for the continued existence, development and growth of FLF.

I am convinced that this is a decisive moment and if we renege on our commitment and fail to maintain the initiative in this battle for our heritage, FLF will condemn itself to irrelevance and will fade away.
FLF - CGH asks: What more important project is FLF involved in to preserve the history and heritage of Rhodesia?
Project for the Repairs, Restoration, Security, Preservation and Caretaking of Rhodes Cottage in Muizenberg
The Flame Lily Foundation shares the concern of the Muizenberg Historic Society for the preservation and caretaking of Rhodes cottage.
Accordingly, we are partnering with MHS to renovate and protect this historic site and tourist attraction.

We believe that the first priority is Security:
1. Erecting an aesthetically pleasing, but effective, wrought iron fence upon the stone wall perimeter facing the main road (similar to the neighbouring property) and planting hedges that would eventually encompass the fence. We need to ensure that Rhodes cottage is secure from arson attacks and that fire hazards such as the dry wood piled up near the side gate is promptly removed.
2. Changing the locks to Rhodes cottage and limiting access to the keys (the security has been seriously compromised by contractors and casual labourers having been issued with keys to the cottage). During the renovations it may be wise to also hire a security guard to protect the property and building materials at night.
3. Ensuring that the thatched roof is protected by an effective sprinkler system and smoke alarm, so that any fire would be automatically and effectively dealt with by sprinklers installed on the apex of the thatched roof (fed by a 5000 L water tank placed on the hillside to ensure good water flow/pressure). As the property has its own water spring, this should be utilised.
Secondly, the Repairs and Renovations to the building itself which includes dealing with the rising damp, the damaged sections of windows, shutters, roof and beams.
An experienced and trusted renovator, Anthony Stander: [email protected] walked around Rhodes cottage with curator Tony Rozemeyer and I to assess the damage and evaluate what is needed.
He informed us that, as this is a heritage site, we need an architect to draft the necessary plans and changes. I believe MHS has suitable architect contacts and friends to turn to for this. Tony, in his report, also mentions an evaluation by a fireman. We need to ensure that the cottage is protected by an effective alarm system which must include a smoke detector alarm connected to the sprinkler system.
Thirdly, we should seriously consider renovating the attic space which was operational in the days of Cecil Rhodes and restoring the bay window in the attic. The attic conversion could provide a suitable venue for a Cecil Rhodes Library and Study Centre.
Fourthly, the fynbos garden above the cottage can be better utilised and enjoyed by constructing some pathways and benches.
