PRAYER AND PRAISE UPDATE
INTERNATIONAL LIFE CHAINS PROCLAIM RIGHT TO LIFE OF THE PRE-BORN 
Up to a million Christians in approximately 1 500 locations worldwide took part in the various Life Chains this 2 October, International Life ChainSunday. Over 130 Christians formed a Life Chain to proclaim the sanctity of life in Cape Town. Life Chains also took place in 4 other cities in South Africa: Polokwane (Pietersburg), Johannesburg, Durban, and East London. The Life Chain in Bloemfontein is this Saturday (8 October).
Despite initial opposition and resistance, we were permitted to conduct outreaches in four shopping malls in Cape Town. The children were delighted to be handed colourful balloons and many people were plainly grateful for the Gospel literature we were handing out. There was much interest in our Spiritual Well-Being Survey, which took shoppers through The Way of the Master and Evangelism Explosion questions to confront them with the Law of God and the reality of Eternity.

MEMORANDUM: CALL FOR THE REMOVAL OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT AND WOMEN-OBJECTIFYING PROGRAMMES FROM TELEVISION BROADCASTS
As concerned citizens of South Africa, we are alarmed that national broadcasters and E-TV especially, should have so little concern for the negative impact that sexually explicit programming has on children and how women are viewed in society.

Bankrupt Playboy
The sexually explicit and exploitative Playboy magazine has re-launched in South Africa and is now on shelves in C.N.A, Exclusive Books, and some 7-Elevens. We are not yet sure whether they are being sold from Petrol Station shops or any grocery stores. By 1996, through mobilizing grassroots action, Africa Christian Action and Christians for Truth had persuaded many advertisers to no longer support these anti-family publications and over 9 000 stores to no longer stock these anti-family magazines. Both Scope and Playboy were in such serious financial trouble that both went bankrupt and closed down. By God's grace we can do it again!

Report Urges Abortion "Values Clarification Workshops" for Health-Care Providers in South Africa

A new report on access to abortion in South Africa was issued by the Human Reproduction Programme (HRP) entitled "What health-care providers say on providing abortion care in Cape Town, South Africa: findings from a qualitative study." HRP is the body within the United Nations with a mandate for research in "human reproduction" that is sponsored by the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Population Fund, the World Health Organisation, and the World Bank. South Africa, along with Cape Verde and Tunisia, allows abortion on demand without restriction as to reason, the most pro-abortion policy in all of Africa.
Advertising Hypocrisy : PRAYER, GOD AND "KILLED BY ABORTION" NOT ALLOWED IN CLASSIFIEDS OBITUARY
Despite assurance from Cape Argus Editor Chris Whitfield last year that Africa Christian Action could place an obituary notice in memory of aborted babies in the Personal Column (they refuse to publish it in the Deaths Column), a Classifieds Advertisement Supervisor stated that Independent Newspapers finds the wording "too explicit" and that Advertising Standards Authority regulations prohibit the use of the phrases "babies killed by abortion" and "May God have mercy on South Africa".

False Guidance
Anyone who has been involved in ministry for any length of time would have come across some bizarre examples of how some Christians seek “guidance.”
As I have been involved in missions for over 30 years, I regularly have been confronted with some very strange concepts of guidance.

Marathon Relay Race

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
Hebrews 11 and 12 remind us that we have the great privilege of being part of God’s family. We are His sons and daughters. We are part of God’s team. And we are in a cosmic marathon relay race.

Racism, Xenophobia
and Hate Speech

Only Biblical Christianity offers a rational basis for opposing racism and for pursuing justice. Equality before the law is a Biblical principle:
“The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the alien shall be the same before the Lord. The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the alien living among you.” Numbers 15:15-16
CHRISTIAN ACTION NETWORK SUPPORTS ANTI-INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY BILL
The Christian Action Network supports the drafting and proposal of an Anti-Internet Pornography Bill by the Justice Alliance of South Africa to the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs as a possible solution to (partly) combating the scourge of pornography in South Africa.
This proposed Bill comes as a result of calls from Deputy Minister of Home Affairs to ban pornography from the public sphere and to ensure the protection of children. Deputy Minister Gigaba has also requested the South African Law Reform Commission to look into this possibility of banning pornography on the internet, cell phones and on television.

“Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” - Lord Acton
Although governments are meant to protect their citizens, secular states in the 20th Century murdered over 169 million of their own citizens!

The popularity of Che Guevara’s image on t-shirts is quite bizarre. According to the company that sells Che Guevara products: “Che’s image has a rock ‘n roll edge to it that we are looking for.” Advocates claim that Che is chic for the sophisticated” and “It’s an icon of what’s cool.”

There is a growing worldwide war against Christianity. Last year, over 160,000 Christians were killed for their faith. Christians have been beaten, imprisoned and killed for the crime of being a Christian in Red China. In Sudan, Christians have been bombed, massacred and sold into slavery. In Indonesia, Muslim mobs have wiped out entire villages of Christians, burning down many hundreds of churches.

As a result of the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, women in much of the world today, especially in the West, enjoy far more privileges and rights than at any other time in history. ... click here for more
