From the Chairman of the Board of Frontline Fellowship

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and support. Bad times can be good for spiritual work. The needs are great and urgent. The opportunities are tremendous. We receive far more invitations and requests than we have time, personnel or resources to adequately respond to. There is a tremendous spiritual warfare raging throughout Africa. There are some important upcoming projects, outreaches and needs that we would like to bring to your attention:

Do You want to be part of this dynamic Movement to disciple Africa for Christ ?

Africa for Christ
Africa Christian Network is an association of Bible based, evangelical congregations, ministries and missions dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ throughout Africa. Members adhere to the Nicene Creed and to The Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation launched by Professor Martin Luther 500 years ago in Wittenberg: Sola Scriptura! Scripture alone is our ultimate authority Sola Gracia! Salvation is by the grace of God alone. Sola Fide! Salvation is received by faith alone. Solus Christus! Christ alone is the Head of the Church. Soli Deo Gloria! Everything must be done to the glory of God alone. “Contend earnestly for the Faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” Jude 4

International Affiliation
Upon receipt of registration fees, Members receive certificates of affiliation and benefit from international contacts of ACN members. Africa Christian Network offers its members regular news updates and free resources for Evangelism and discipleship. You will also receive, completely free, The Chaplains Handbook, Reformation 500 Coalition on Revival FIRE manual and Biblical Preaching Handbook.

Bibles for Africa
Resources available to members includes: Bibles, New Testaments, Gospel booklets, tracts in many languages from Literature4Africa, sermons and Bible studies from Livingstone Fellowship and Audio-visual resources from Frontline Fellowship.

Leadership Training Resources
Members also have access to higher education training resources to benefit all your pastors, evangelists and teachers from William Carey Bible Institute.
Where ever possible ACN will seek to facilitate guest speakers and missionary team visits to conduct seminars, conferences and outreaches in your area. You can specify what your particular needs are: whether church planting, Evangelism training, Muslim Evangelism or Discipleship programmes. You do not need to be alone as you seek to fulfil the Great Commission.

Prayer, Encouragement and Counselling Network
When you are part of this network, you can share prayer requests, ask for advice and counsel as to how to deal with different challenges, request library books for your pastor, congregation or school, answers to critical questions, assistance with sermon preparation, Bible study resources, Sunday school materials or evangelistic outreach materials.
When members of our Fellowship have been persecuted for the Faith, we have published their plight and mobilised prayer and support to set the captives free. Members of our Fellowship who were unjustly imprisoned in Kauda’s one-party state Zambia were released after our international campaigns mobilising prayer and pressure which opened the prison doors and set the captive free. Similarly other of our missionaries were locked up in Frelimo Mozambique also freed in answer to prayer and action. We were heavily involved in the campaign to end the persecution of Christians in Sudan and to bring about a peaceful secession of South Sudan. We cooperate with international campaigns such as international Life Chain Sunday on the first Sunday of October each year, Reformation Day, 31 October and International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted, on the 2^nd Sunday of November each year. This network replaces and incorporates the Christian Action Network which includes over 150 member organisations, including more than 7000 congregations and over 8 million members throughout 20 countries in Africa. For over 35 years, Christian Action Network (formally United Christian Action) sought to be an umbrella body presenting a united voice to the media on issues of mutual concern for its members. CAN regularly presented submissions to government departments on pro-life, pro-family and moral issues, speaking up for religious freedom, and seeking to mobilise support for persecuted Christians.

Back to the Bible for Reformation and Revival
Members of our network will have the assurance they will never be alone in times of crisis, but are part of an international fellowship of Bible believing Christians who will stand up and speak up for them and pray with them as we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. With your support, together we can cooperate to fulfil the Great Commission throughout Africa, working for Biblical Reformation and praying for a Heaven sent spiritual Revival to transform Africa into the most Christian continent on earth.

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. Many missionaries, pastors and evangelists were martyred during those upheavels. God’s Great Commission work along the Congo River is far from complete. Establishing sustainable missions in central Africa regions is logistically very challenging. However, at Frontline any challenge, especially a neglected or restricted access area in war torn regions of Southern and central Africa, cannot remain untackled. These obstacles must be overcome, the unreached tribes evangelised and remote communities served with the Gospel of Christ. ^“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.” Isaiah 43:2-4

Pray for the People in Sudan
Is this another Proxy War between America and Russia?
Apparently in reaction to the announcement that Sudan had agreed to Russia establishing a naval base on the Red Sea, Hostilities have broken out between the Sudan Armed Forces and a large paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces. Embassies have scrambled to evacuate all their personnel and citizens from the North African country, apparently convinced that everything is going to deteriorate rapidly into a full-scale Civil War. There is a real danger that this conflict will spill over into neighbouring states. After years of peace, what has led to the new outbreak of hostilities in this North African country? “From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshippers, My scattered people will bring Me offerings.” Zephaniah 3:10 See article with pictures: https://www.frontlinemissionsa.org/news/rapidly-escalating-conflict-erupts-in-sudan?fbclid=IwAR1Y4jbcc5Y3Y7Fw00vWINneqCX6LcpyZd9X-FDANMyQB0fIUAWsJfQjyjo

Help The Reformation Society promote Reformation and Revival throughout Africa.
Since 2006 the Reformation society has been conducting regular, every Thursday night, Reformation society meetings in Cape Town, holding Reformation seminars and conferences, promoting Reformation day services and events, including Reformation Art and Essay competitions, Reformation variety concerts and home education events. The Reformation society has published the Greatest Century of Reformation book (including an updated and expanded edition), Reforming our Families, the Power of Prayer Handbook, Reformation 500 hymnbook and the Reformation 500 Coalition on Revival FIRE Manual donating thousands of these books to Bible colleges, Missions, ministries and Christian universities. The Reformation Society also published the 95 Theses for Reformation Today, translated into German, French, Dutch and Afrikaans and launched the Reformation 500 Back to the Bible movement, which led to Reformation 500 events in Zambia, United States of America, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, culminating in Wittenberg October 2017. In the lead up to the Zwingli 500, marking the initiation of expository preaching (1st January 1519) we preached through every book of the Bible, publishing a series of the Bible in a nutshell in a popular local Christian magazine in South Africa and publishing the Old Testament Survey and New Testament Survey books. We also held Biblical Preaching Workshops and helped publish the Biblical Preaching Handbook. Our Reformation500 facebook page has also received a wide reach and many engagements as we promote Reformation doctrines and history and work for a fresh back to the Bible Reformation in churches, communities and throughout the continent of Africa. If you support this vision and work, please help us with the finances need to keep promoting Reformation Today through our public meetings, seminars, conferences and events and through publications, radio and TV interviews and programmes and through our Libraries for Pastors and Textbooks for Teachers programmes. https://www.givesendgo.com/reformation

Thank You for your prayers, encouragement, love and support. We have much to be grateful for. God has protected us from many dangers, blessed and multiplied our humble, inadequate efforts for the extension of His Kingdom and to serve suffering Christians. We are deeply grateful for all of His provisions and gracious answers to many prayers. It is a tremendous privilege to be His sons and daughters, His servants and soldiers, serving the suffering, training and mobilising evangelists and educators, soul-winners and nation transformers.

“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worked in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

May God continue to be your joy, strength and shield.
Yours for Reformation, Revival and the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

Anthony Stander (Chairman)
