Stone Hill Outreaches – Thank You for Your Support! (Video)

THE CONTEXT
It's well-known among Christian workers in Africa that the church there is "an inch deep and a mile wide."
Without access to books and written materials, many believers don't even own their own Bible!
And their pastor might not, either.
In fact, though incredibly sincere, he may have only been saved recently himself!
Without discipleship or examples of how a life is lived in light of God's Word and truth, it isn't unheard of for someone to become saved and simply continue old religious customs and ways of life while changing the name of the deity to "Jesus."
Charl's ministry seeks to establish kingdom-focused, Biblical communities that live for Jesus and reach the lost for Him. Charl proactively educates the Church and seeks to renew minds with a Biblical worldview.
Charl and his team are praying and working toward building a generation of young, Christ-centered, Gospel-driven servant leaders who are equipped to take action in a broken world.

HISTORY
In 1993, Charl was worshipping with his church on a Sunday when terrorists entered the building and opened gunfire on the congregation. This incident later became known as the St. James Massacre.
Charl used his firearm to return fire, valiantly protecting those around him. Surprised by someone shooting back at them, the attack was diffused quickly and many lives were saved.
Charl received a citation from General Acker of the South African Police for his courage under fire.
Charl's courage and subsequent graciousness toward his attackers has yielded him several opportunities to witness to his attackers - he even got to share God's good news about forgiveness at one of their conventions!
Several of the leaders of this terrorist group received Christ as a result of their relationship with Charl.
Charl explains and demonstrates God's forgiveness at a conference full of terrorists who attacked his church.

Shooting Back - The Right and Duty of Self-Defense
by Charl van Wyk
The distinct staccato of automatic fire from assault rifles—followed by scattered screams—shattered the silence of the Sunday evening service.
A band of terrorists burst into the sanctuary and began executing, with icy effectiveness, their heinous plans of mass murder.
