 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.

Over 4200 boxes containing over 1,800,000 Gospel booklets in numerous African languages. https://www.frontlinemissionsa.org/news/quartermaster-store-for-missions-throughout-africa .

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.

 Thanksgiving for 40 years of God's Grace and Guidance, Provision and Protection
As Frontline Fellowship celebrates 40 years of God's grace and guidance, provision and protection, we 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. "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 Momentous Missionary Milestones To mark this momentous missionary milestone, I was interviewed by Loving Life TV on the 45th anniversary of my conversion and 40th anniversary of the launch of Frontline Fellowship's first cross-border mission into war-torn, communist Mozambique.

We praise God for the safe return of our Africa Overland Mission team from a four-month mission across Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. Despite tremendous logistical challenges and illness, including malaria and bilharzia, our mission team succeeded in delivering and distributing over 2 1/2 tons of Bibles and books and conducting over a hundred meetings, including Leadership training courses, seminars, conferences, services, school assemblies and outreaches. Despite delays, disruptions and bureaucratic obstacle courses, our mission team succeeded in delivering desperately needed supplies and Scriptural resources to pastors, missionaries and evangelists. They conducted Biblical Exposition workshops, seminars and conferences, meeting with pastors and chiefs who testified that they were first discipled by Frontline Fellowship mission teams back in the 1980’s and 90’s. “Preach the Word!
