 “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:2 Mission to Tanzania As I write this update, our Africa Reformation Overland Mission team is leaving Tanzania. Tanzania is a huge country in East Africa. It has a population of over 50 million, compromising more than 150 indigenous ethnic groups. Swahili and English are its official languages. Literacy is estimated at 69%. As a result of disastrous socialist experiments in the 60s and 70s, which they are still trying to recover from, Tanzania is one of the world’s poorest nations. By God's grace the one party socialist system was ended in 1992 and a multiparty democracy was instituted. There is religious freedom, with nominal Christians over 54% and Muslims 31%. Animists are estimated at over 12% and less than 1% are Hindu. Protestants make up over 8 million (18% of the population). The Evangelical Lutherans are their largest denomination, with over 2,700 congregations and 3.4 million affiliates. Our Mission team’s priorities on this mission are leadership training, literature distribution, film evangelism, children’s ministry and Biblical Preaching Workshops for pastors.  Back to the Bible Mission Tomorrow, I head off for a week of lectures on Missiology at Back to the Bible Mission in Mpumalanga. Over the last week my daughter, Andrea and her husband, Hunter, have been ministering at Back to the Bible Mission. General Shai Mulder is the Principal of this Bible College. It has over 100 students from 20 countries throughout Africa, going through an intensive three year training programme, which takes them through every Book of the Bible. Hunter has been invited to lecture on Biblical Ethics.  Back to Biblical Exposition – Reformation 500 Zwingli Our new book: Biblical Preaching Handbook, is back from the printer and is being distributed by our Africa Reformation Overland Mission team throughout Africa, as we conduct Reformation 500 – Back to Biblical Exposition Workshops and Seminars with pastors, chaplains and Evangelists. With next year being the 500th Anniversary of the launch of the Swiss Reformation by Reformer Ulrich Zwingli, we are challenging and equipping pastors with tools to go back to the Bible, to study, preach and teach through every Book of the Bible and apply the central message of each Book to our daily lives. The Biblical Preaching Handbook and Old Testament Survey are some of the tools we have already completed and I am on track to completing our New Testament Survey, God-willing, by the end of this year. Part 1 of our New Testament Survey (from Matthew to 2 Thessalonians) is now available in manual form. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Latest Christian Action Magazine Available South Africa is facing increasing lawlessness, crime, violence and an irresponsible Marxist dominated government who is whipping up race hatred and advocating confiscation of farms, game reserves and other property from all whites in the country. It is essential that our friends and intercessors understand the volatile situation and what is at stake. This Christian Action Magazine tackles the important question: Is South Africa Entering the Second Phase of the Revolution? It also includes my report: Fraud, Failure and Farce – Land Expropriation Hearings. The chilling report, quotes and photographs from the events I have participated in, should be an urgent wake-up call to Christians worldwide to intervene, stand up and speak out on behalf of Christians literally under fire and facing the threat of genocide in South Africa.  Strand Firm and Fight the Good Fight of Faith The latest Christian Action Magazine also includes: Sola Scriptura! “God's Commands to a Nation” and a very practical: “What Needs to be Done?” with many useful contact details and links to practical and positive Biblical resources that can enable us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Seek first the Kingdom of God. Work for Reformation, pray for Revival, while we make disciples of all nations and teach obedience to all things that the Lord has commanded. One person can make a difference. At this time of crisis, it is vital that every one of us does everything we possibly can to “…stand firm… contending for the Faith of the Gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you…” Philippians 1:27-28 New Audio Visual Resources Angelo, in our IT Department, has been busy loading audios and videos of my various lectures and presentations from recent Reformation Society presentations, Biblical Worldview Seminars, Workshops and Men’s Meetings. This includes: The Battle for Faith, Family and our Future in Education; A Biblical Response to Socialist Land Reform and Zimbabwe’s Elections; Farms and Freedoms Threatened in South Africa; God and Government; True Freedom; What We Can Learn from the St. James Massacre; The French Revolution; How Can we Resist the New World Order?; Is South Africa Heading into the Second Phase of the Revolution?; The Turkish Genocide of Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Christians; The Curse of Cowardice; The Most Important Books Ever Published and many more.  From the Frontline Every Tuesday night, we load a new radio podcast http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ on our www.FrontlineMissionSA.org website. We are tackling issues, such as How the French and Bolshevik Revolutions Continue to Impact us Today; Nine Stages of Genocide in South Africa; Exposing the Myths of Marx and May Day; Protecting our Families and Churches from Attacks; Understanding the Zimbabwe Crisis; How Marxism Undermines Christian Civilisation and most recently, The Real Gay Mafia Scandal Behind the Sex Abuse Crisis in Roman Catholicism.

"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
