Introduction

On January 16, 2026, Allistair Francis, a message preacher in South Africa, published the first of a video series on YouTube titled Discouraged by the Message and the Prophet: The Message on Trial. There are currently 5 videos in the series. The individual videos are referenced specifically in each one of our articles as listed above.

It is blindingly obvious that Allistair Francis has not read our book, Under The Halo, nor has he read any of the information on this website. As a result, we must label him as "willingly ignorant" which is not a good state to be in when you are commenting on a subject. We deal with this in more detail below.

NOTE: If you find any inaccuracies or incorrect information, please let us know any we will correct it as soon as we are able.
