Christian Action Starter Pack 2021

6. PRESS
• Press releases before and after the event. Invite them and then write a mini article to tell them how it
went, something they can use for publication. Especially local community newspapers.
• Have press packages ready for them.
• Encourage the participants to write letters to the editor, especially of local community newspapers
on the issue.
• Appoint a press spokesman and tell everyone to refer media representatives to them.
7. PLACARDS
• Big lettering, able to be read from a distance; black or red on white or black on yellow works best. Keep it
simple, clean, clear and straightforward. Remember the purpose is to inform and challenge. Some ideas:
“Don’t abort Africa’s future”, “Back to the Bible”, “Abortion kills babies”, “Jesus is Lord”, or “Choose Life”.
8. PROCLAIM
• It is important to use the occasion for literature distribution to inform, inspire and involve.
9. PREPARE
• Have your people as informed as possible. Appoint a spokesman for the group to handle the press.
• “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who
asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15
10. PRAISE
• Singing and worshipping during the demonstration is appropriate and a form of spiritual warfare and
witness.
• Remember to praise the Lord, regardless of the outcome of the demo. If you have been faithful, He will
see to the results.
“When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not seek to dissuade him from
his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do
warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have
saved yourself.” Ezekiel 33: 7‐9
HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR OWN WOMEN’S DAY OUTREACH
Women and girls need real protection and respect – practical action, not pious platitudes from politicians and
meaningless public holidays! Why not use National Women’s Day (9 August) as an opportunity to inform,
inspire and involve people in promoting awareness and taking action against the exploitation of women in
pornography and trafficking?
On 9 August we set up literature tables in at least three different shopping malls in the Cape Town area. We
distribute free literature from our tables to all interested people, primarily focusing on informing and motivating
people to make a difference in stopping human trafficking. This is also a great opportunity to reach unchurched
people such as Muslims, who are unlikely to step inside the four walls of a church.
“Who will rise up for Me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for Me against evildoers?” Psalm 94:1
“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the
openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words.” Proverbs 1:20-21
Follow the 9 P’s and you will be on your way to successfully making a positive difference to the lives of precious
women and children.
