Border Experiences with Evil

My experiences with evil have prompted me to take up studies at the University of South Africa (UNISA) for an M.A. in theology, which researches the different spirit appearances/manifestations that are classified into four main types/groups. Central to this book are my ownexperiences with evil. My border experiences with evil have taught me this: The Church must fight against evil. The Church depends on its Lord, who says: ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’ That does not mean, however, that I should sit back and do nothing.MyLord is ‘God over all’! In letting me share in His Kingdom, He has assigned me a responsibility. This responsibility lies therein that I practise love and that I avoid evil or combat it consciously and appropriately. Everything else I leave to my Lord to whom I have entrusted my life, and whowill also determine it. For 25 years, the author served as missionary/pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa, West Diocese. He ministered to various African congregations, ranging in size from 900 to 6,000 parishioners. During his years of service, he became acquainted with rural congregations with their classic background of African tribal culture, as well as urban congregations who had abandoned their original tribal units but were nonetheless unable to escape the traditional African religion.
