MOBILISING
MISSIONARIES
"Then
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here I am. Send me!'"
Isaiah 6:8
Since
Frontline Fellowship launched the first Great Commission
Camp, in Franschoek, January 1998, the GCC has attracted
interest from around the world. This year's GCC again started
in the beautiful Franschoek valley surrounded by mountains
and forests. Participants came from as far afield as Arizona
and Zambia, Canada and the Congo, California and New Zealand.
The seminars were held in a beautiful church venue and numerous
of the people we met on the streets of Franschoek during
the Saturday afternoon outreach joined in for the special
Reformation programme on Saturday evening.
Despite
a very rainy week, the planned outdoor Sunday morning worship
service at the Huguenot Monument was blessed with magnificent
weather, clear skies and sunshine.
The
camp was followed by the Great Commission Course which involved
a gruelling programme of daily PT, Bible studies, lectures,
outreaches and practicals often ending with midnight hikes
on the mountain, in the forest and in the rivers. The evangelistic
programme in Khayelitsha included a soccer match between
the missionaries and a local team. After a close match on
a muddy field, and overtime, the missionaries won.
Ann,
a participant in the first GCC in 1998, testified how the
Lord since led her into Muslim evangelism and of how the
Lord had blessed her educational ministry in the Muslim
Middle East despite an earthquake, sand storms and sickness.
Other
participants of previous GCC's were also involved as leaders
and lecturers in this GCC which has involved prison ministry,
film evangelism, radio ministry, mass literature distribution,
door-to-door and one-on-one personal evangelism.
"The
harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord
of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His
harvest field." Luke 10:2
DISCIPLESHIP
HANDBOOK
"…entrust
to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others."
2 Timothy 2:2
Shortly
before the start of the Great Commission Course, Peter Hammond
completed his third book in the Discipleship series. The
first was Faith In Action (1989), the second Putting
Feet To Your Faith (1998) and now this Discipleship
Handbook.
The
Discipleship Handbook is an invaluable resource including
studies on the cross, the Fear of God, the Holy Spirit,
God's Law, Restitution, Prayer, Evangelism, Conflict, Time
Management, Hospitality, Videos, Games and TV, Animals,
Revival, and How To Change The World.
The
Discipleship Handbook deals with the most important issues
possible. There is nothing more important than God and our
relationship with Him. This is what really, ultimately matters
- that we know God and that we make Him known.
With
29 chapters and 150 pages, the Discipleship Handbook is
packed full of great insights, practical instruction and
Biblical inspiration - to equip us to love God more wholeheartedly,
to serve Him more effectively, to obey Him more constantly,
and to worship Him more acceptably. The Discipleship Handbook
is available for $10 overseas (or R58 in South Africa).
"If
anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take
up his cross daily and follow Me."
Luke 9.23
WILLIAM
CAREY BIBLE INSTITUTE
"Expect
great things from God, attempt great things for God"
Frontline
Fellowship has launched a new leadership training programme
which is thoroughly Biblical and uniquely practical.
There
is a tremendous need and hunger for literature and leadership
training in Africa and over the last decades Frontline Fellowship
has been taking short term leadership training programmes
to remote rural areas. Now Frontline's Biblical Wordview
Seminars, Great Commission Courses, Reformation and Revival
Seminars, Muslim Evangelism Workshops, Teacher Training
Courses, and other great programmes are being offered in
a distance learning programme to pastors, teachers and evangelists.
The
William Carey Bible Institute is a Reformed, Evangelistic,
Biblical and practical leadership training programme which
seeks to be character changing, nation building and culture
transforming. The college is named after William Carey,
the father of modern missions who although he was deprived
of secondary schooling, was so well read, dedicated and
disciplined, that through reading he became one of the finest
linguists, Bible translators and social Reformers in history.
The WCBI will not only be offering its students excellent
textbooks, lecture manuals and audio tapes from Frontline
Fellowship's decades of leadership training programmes,
but also from several outstanding church and mission leaders
who are making their materials available for this programme
as well.
"The
discerning heart seeks knowledge…"
Proverbs 15:14

THE
BIBLE AND ANIMALS
"How
long will the land lie partched and the grass in every field
be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked, ther
animals and the birds have perished."
Jeremiah 12:4
In
the course of their outreaches, Frontline missionaries have
come across some horific abuses and cruelty to animals.
On numerous occasions they have had the opportunity to rescue,
care for and adopt numerous of God's creatures. In order
to teach schoolchildren the importance of conservation and
stewardship of God's creation, Peter Hammond wrote The Bible
and Animals, and produced a PowerPoint presentation which
has been well received in numerous schools and churches.
Now
Frontline Fellowship has launched a new website: The
Bible and Animals. This unique website also provides
links to various animal welfare organisations such as Wetnose
who are rescueing animals from the devastated farms in Zimbabwe
and organising for new homes to adopt them.
Visit
www.thebibleandanimals.org or write to Frontline Fellowship
for The Bible and Animals PowerPoint presentation on CD
or for quantities of The Bible and Animals leaflet for distribution.
"A
good man is kind to his animals, but the wicked are cruel
to theirs." Proverbs 12:10
