New Bibles for Africa Video On my first cross-border Mission to Mozambique, 1982, I was told: “The missionaries taught us how to read. But it was the communists who gave us something to read.” This shocking statement inspired me to give highest priority to providing Gospel booklets, New Testaments, Bibles and discipleship materials throughout Africa. It led me to approach authors and publishers to ask for donations of any damaged, or shop-soiled books, or those with binding problems, that they should rather donate these to our Literatur4Africa ministry. Initially, we received parcels, then mail sacks and for the last 18 years, container shipments of tonnes of Bibles and books to carefully, prayerfully and strategically distribute to those who would most appreciate, best use and apply these strategic Scriptural resources. Now Ndumiso has completed a 15-minute video documentary: Bibles for Africa. This will give you an overview and insights into some of what is involved in this far-reaching literature ministry. Please view it and share it with friends and family. If possible, screen it to your Sunday school or Bible study groups.

 “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of Faith.” Galatians 6:9-10
Mobilise Prayer for the Muslim World Today marks the start of Ramadan, the Islamic prayer month, normally characterised by communal prayers and sprawling night time meals breaking each day’s dawn to dusk fast. However, this year, with nearly all of the worlds’ two billion Muslims under some form of lockdown, authorities in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and elsewhere in the Muslim world have closed mosques and limited meals to homes, banning large gatherings. This is a good time to initiate focused prayer for Muslims. Click here for the Prayer Guide. Please join us in praying for the Muslim world. You can find a PDF poster designed by Frontline: Pray for the Muslim World on our www.FrontlineMissionSA.org website, to view, share, download, or print out. We are joining with other missions to the Muslim world in mobilising 30 days of focused prayer, for the Lord to do a mighty work in the hearts of Muslims worldwide. You will find articles, audios, videos and links on our www.FrontlineMissionSA.org website and on our Frontline Fellowship and Muslim Evangelism Facebook pages, to help you mobilise informed and strategic prayer for Christian communities and missionaries in the Muslim Middle East, particularly in North Africa. “Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him and His enemies will lick the dust… all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him.” Psalm 72:9-11 For your edification, inspiration and for intercession, here is a small selection of remarkable, written responses that we have received by mail, or e-mail, from friends and supporters and from the field, in the past month. 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, transform lives, change hearts and disciple nations.
Pandemic, Panic, Propaganda & Priorities Vimeo Clip & Sermon Audio “Thanks for the Vimeo clip on Pandemic, Panic Propaganda & Priorities. I really like its contextual approach. Amazing how people will not like its truthful content.” – C.

True Love is the Fulfilment of God’s Law article “This is the most comprehensive and most Biblical explanation of love I have ever seen. This is a classic statement. It could be made into a brochure on Love.” – J. G., California, USA “A challenge! To fail to evangelise is 'unloving' and disobeying the Great Commission, as ordered by Jesus Christ Himself. Almighty God help me to love and obey Your Word. ‘Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.’ Proverbs 27:6.” – S. M., Kenya  “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair.”
2 Corinthians 4:8 The Need for Adaptability and Innovation Amidst Disruption and Disaster Like many millions of people around the world, our plans and programmes have been disrupted by a spate of cancellations, closed venues and closed borders. Planned missions to Kenya and Sudan are now postponed because of international travel bans and country lockdowns. A number of conferences, seminars, services, workshops and education history tours have had to be cancelled in response to government regulations and venues cancelling on us. Yet, despite the extraordinary international reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, we have been busier than ever, as we seek to respond to the changing situation and new challenges with adaptability and initiative. “Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past.” Isaiah 26:20  “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” 2 Timothy 2:2-3
Multi-Generational Ministry of Multiplication It is our duty and destiny to be involved in a ministry of multiplication with a multi-generational vision. We are called to be strong and to be faithful as we equip and empower Evangelists to seek first the Kingdom of God, making disciples of nations, teaching obedience to all things that the Lord has commanded. The Great Commission is our supreme ambition. Christ’s last command must be our first concern. For your edification, inspiration and for intercession, here is a small selection of remarkable, written responses that we have received by mail, or e-mail, from friends and supporters and from the field, in the past month. 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, transform lives, change hearts and disciple nations.
Teaching in Remote and Restricted Access Areas “Thank you for your challenge, that all effective believing Christians should courageously reach out. More so, to the unreached in the remote and restricted access areas. WCBI & the entire Faculty support are highly appreciated.

Workshops to Equip and Empower You “A blessed Christ’s Birth Commemoration to you and the entire Frontline team. A big thank you for your wonderful articles, specifically the educational workshops and participative outreaches. May 2020 be a year where Frontline remains in the centre of God's Will, and I trust that many hearts will be changed from interacting with the fellowship of committed believers.” – D. M., USA  “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’” Isaiah 52:7
Sixty Years by God's Grace and Mercy On 21 January, I turned 60 and climbed Table Mountain. It was a most appropriate way to celebrate six decades of God's grace and undeserved favour. By my calculations, it was at least the 43rd time I have hiked to attain the summit of Table Mountain. The week before was my 80th hike up Lions Head. There are numerous other mountains that I have climbed, including Mount Mulanje in Malawi, but Table Mountain is my favourite. What a spectacular view, all the way to Cape Point, Hermanus, the Hottentots Holland, the Helderberg, Robben Island, Blouberg and Table View, the tops of the Twelve Apostles, Devils Peak and so much more. The Table Mountain hike is, in so many ways, the high point of the GCC and has frequently fallen on my birthday. At 1087 metres, we read Scripture, sang Hymns to the glory of God and interceded for our city, country and continent.  Shipments of Spiritual Ammunition for Spiritual Warfare
We praise God for three shipments of precious Bibles and Christian books received in the last month. First, we received a 20-foot, 18-tonne container of Bibles and books from Eagles Nest Ministries. Then just a day later, a 30-foot container of over 22 tonnes of World Missionary Press Gospel booklets (over two million Gospel booklets, each 50-pages all Scripture, in 15 languages – English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Zulu, Chichewa, French, Portuguese, Swahili, Sepedi, Sesotho, Shona, Tswana and Yao). Then a designated gift enabled us to buy, from the Bible Society, 790 Bibles in indigenous African languages, including: Afrikaans, Chichewa, Ndebele, Sesotho, Shona, Seswati, Tswana, Xhosa and Zulu. All told, over 40 tonnes of literature to offload, sort, categorise, designate and distribute. Many pastors, evangelists, teachers and missionaries have already come to our Literature4Africa stores to resupply their ministries and obtain essential spiritual ammunition for their outreaches and discipleship projects. “So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 |

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen..” Matthew 28: 18-20
