A Witness Forever
R275,00
On 26th April the polls opened for South Africa’s first democratic election. While thousands of South Africans of every shade and creed queued patiently outside the polling stations, the rest of the world held its breath. Would the fragile peace prevail?”
“Michael Cassidy reveals for the first time what went on behind the scenes, away from the dramatic headlines, as South Africa inched its way towards the momentous election. A plane with a faulty dial, a prayer meeting with 30,000 people, a Kenyan diplomat, Christian leaders working backstage — all played a part in what newspapers worldwide hailed as a miracle.
Describing the unbearable suspense as the situation teetered on the brink of disaster and the sheer joy when a solution was reached just six days before the elections, Michael Cassidy maintains that, whatever the future holds for South Africa, the extraordinary events leading up to April 1994 do indeed deserve to held up as a witness for ever to the power of God. Learn the first-hand account of the miracles that led to a peaceful end of apartheid in South Africa.
Target audience: Relevant for adults of all ages interested in history and how God moves through secular events.
Description
About the Author: Michael Cassidy is a Christian leader, and the Founder of African Enterprise. He is an evangelist, teacher, preacher, and author. In 1957 Michael felt the Lord calling him to city evangelism in Africa. After finishing his studies at Cambridge, Michael completed a Bachelor of Divinity in 1963 at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. It was in 1961, while still at Fuller, that Michael launched the African Enterprise (AE) ministry with the support of Charles Fuller, Founder of Fuller Seminary, plus a few other student friends. He returned to South Africa in 1964 with a small team to focus full-time on carrying out African Enterprise’s calling to evangelism in the cities of Africa.
He was privileged to play a significant role in facilitating backstage negotiations which helped South Africa through to its first democratic elections in 1994 at a time when the nation was on the verge of civil war.
