A Modern Day John the Baptist


When I was a little girl,
Daddy had a video of a woman being burned with a

tire "necklace" around her neck in South Africa,

with Nelson Mandela's wife, Winnie saying,

"With our necklaces and matches

we will liberate this country."


Mr. Hammond's friend, Charl Van Wyk's book and video,

Shooting Back is one of the most beautiful

stories of grace I've heard.

Charl stopped a church massacre

by shooting back at terrorists

at a large church service.

He later went and witnessed to the terrorist

who he'd shot in prison and

later spoke before to the man's village.


Peter Hammond has been on the front lines

all over Africa for decades,

flying bibles and school materials

into the most needy areas.

He works with young men,

training them to preach the gospel.

is a strategic ministry to support.
