​Thanksgiving for 43 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 and Service
As Frontline Fellowship celebrates 43 years of God's grace and guidance, provision and protection, I 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.

State of Emergency Declared
After a couple of years of encouraging moves towards freedom in Sudan, on Monday 25th October, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan announced the dissolution of the transitional government and a return to military rule under a “state of emergency.”

14 July is celebrated in France as Bastille Day. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille and the launch of The French Revolution.

​​A Time of Turmoil
The French Revolution was one of the most influential events of modern history. The ten-year period from 1789 to 1799 when France went from a Monarchy to a Republic, to a Reign of Terror, to Dictatorship was one of the most tumultuous times in European history.
 
Myth and Reality
Much myth and romantic legend has been written on what some politicians would like the French Revolution to have been, but the reality was that the French Revolution was a monstrous horror. In the name of "liberty, equality, fraternity or death!" over 40,000 people lost their heads to the guillotine, 300,000 people were publically executed by firing squads, drownings and other methods of mass murder and ultimately many millions died in the 25 years of war and upheavals that resulted.

The Most Destructive Rioting in South African History
Brazen looting and malicious destruction of property has devastated the South African economy. These riots since the 9th of July, which are still continuing in many areas, are being described as “the worst” and “most destructive” in the history of South Africa. 8 Factories, 11 warehouses, 200 shopping mall complexes, 161 liquor stores and 50 schools in KZN have been looted and torched.
 
Devastation
The eThekwini municipality in KwaZulu/Natal calculates that the damage to infrastructure, property and equipment in their municipality alone exceeds 15 Billion Rand. They also noted that 150,000 jobs have been lost in their community and municipality alone. 40,000 businesses have been impacted, most of whom may never recover. Additionally 50,000 informal traders have lost their livelihoods and 1.5 million people have lost their potential to earn an income.

Dear BWS participant
 
Greetings in the precious Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
 
The ANC president’s announcement of Level 3 Lockdown, effective immediately, has led many to question whether our Biblical Worldview Summit (4-11 January 2021), is still on!
 
We have consulted with the police and have been assured that conferences are not affected by Level 3 Lockdown regulations, except by the curfew from 9pm to 6am. The curfew would only affect day visitors who would need to leave the centre in good time in the evening to be home before 9pm.
 
Habonim Campsite and Conference Centre is on a large estate of 87 hectares, which includes large halls for dining, lectures and activities, numerous open fields, an astro-soccer court, an obstacle course and bungalows and chalets that can accommodate over 240 people. The owners and managers of Habonim assure us that social distancing and maintaining under 50% occupancy rate will not be a problem. They have also been in contact with the local municipality and police, with whom they maintain a good relationship and have been assured that there is no problem with the planned BWS conference going ahead.
 
You can visit the www.Habonimcampsite.com website to see pictures and further details about the tremendous facilities at our conference venue.

If you have any further questions, or if we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to email: [email protected], or phone: 021-689-4480.
 
Looking forward to a great time of stretching minds and muscles at this landmark Biblical Worldview Summit, marking 30 years of Biblical Worldview Summits in South Africa.
 
Yours for the fulfilment of the Great Commission
 
Dr. Peter Hammond
Director

​The Nature of Truth
The very name university testifies to its Christian origins. University comes from Uni Veritas – one truth. Yet, most professors today do not even believe that there is an objective truth that can be known. Secular humanists can open up a polyversity, a diversity, or an aversity, but universities should, by their very name and origin, be Christian.
 
Ancient Greeks and Romans did Not Have Universities
The Ancient Greeks had their philosophers – Thales, Xenophanes, Parmenides, Xeno, Pythagoras, Democritus, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. They also had their poets – Euripides, Aristophanes and Sophocles. The Romans had some gifted thinkers, such as, Seneca, Cicero, Pliny, Lucretius and Tacitus. These were gifted men, but they developed no permanent institutions. They had no libraries. There was no guild of scholars for students and they certified no one. They tested no theories and engaged in no research. They ignored and spurned the inductive method. It is incorrect to assume, as many have done, that universities of the 21st century are direct descendants of Ancient Greek philosophers.
