The Summit in Cape Town

16/4/2012

​By God's Grace, the Summit Youth Leadership and Worldview Training Course in Cape Town has been a great success. The Summit was launched by Dr David Noebel in Colorado Springs over 40 years ago. Frontline Fellowship has been conducting Summits in South Africa since 1997.

​Young people travelled from as far afield as Botswana and Northern Ireland. Many came through from KwaZulu, the Free State, the Transvaal and Eastern Cape. A contingent of 9 travelled through from KwaSizabantu Mission in KwaZulu. The President of the African Christian Democratic Party sent his Personal Assistant and the head of his Youth League. Numerous other ministries, including Waymakers, The Ark and SACLA sent staff members to participate in the programme. Over 100 registered for the Summit in Cape Town.

The Summit in Cape Town had 16 lecturers, including: one of South Africa's finest Creation Science lecturers, Philip Stott; Dr. Fritz Haus (a veteran of the Second World War who fought on the Eastern Front and in the Africa Corp under Rommel, later becoming the Protestant Chaplain in a prison of war camp. Rev Haus was the Old Testament professor at Baptist Theological College Cape Town and an experienced Baptist missionary); Mrs Dorothea Scarborough (who served with the London Missionary Society in the Gilbert Islands and is now the head of the Gospel Defence League); Rev. Bill Bathman (the Founder and President of In Touch Mission International, a missionary with over 50 years experience, mostly ministering in Europe, and behind the Iron Curtain to persecuted Christians in restricted access areas), Rev. Stephen Smyth (a Church of England in South Africa pastor, who used to be a policeman with the British South Africa Police in Rhodesia); Carl Fourie (a teacher and music critic); Joe Rice (an American missionary involved in church planting); Lawren Guldemond from Canada, Roy Reddy (an Indian evangelist with a powerful testimony of his conversion from Hinduism); Charl van Wyk (the Director of Africa Christian Action); Tim Keller (Field Director of Frontline Fellowship); Jeanine McGill (National Co-ordinator of Africa Christian Action), Rob McCafferty (Communications Director of United Christian Action), and Dr Peter Hammond (Founder and Director of Frontline Fellowship. The PT and sports was run by John Michael Tawse (a paratrooper veteran of the South West Africa and Angola War who is now involved in ministry in the Eastern Cape.) It was a great programme with dynamic presentations.

The Summit was situated at the Rocklands Conference Centre which is spectacularly situated on the slopes of a mountain amidst a forest, overlooking the sea. Most of the lectures were accompanied with PowerPoint or overheads. Manuals and lecture notes were available for most of the presentations. Outreaches were conducted in nearby Simonstown, Fish Hoek and Masiphumelele, an informal settlement. Many of the participants also had the opportunity to go to Boulders Beach and swim with the penguins.

Participants of the January Summit in Cape Town wrote the following responses:
"Brilliant! The Summit has been mind-blowing…brilliantly planned. The blessing of God on the Summit was unbelievable and constantly visible in everything that went on and in the general attitudes of everyone";

"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
