PRACTICAL STEPS TO REFORMATION
Transforming our Communities
We want God to bless our nation - but God will not bless a nation in rebellion to His Laws. We cannot expect
God to bless a country that kills babies - legally - with taxpayers’ money, which legalises and tolerates blasphemy
as entertainment, which removes Bible education from the public schools and promotes perversion.
“See the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us
rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and we will no longer be in disgrace.” Nehemiah 2:17
Work for Reformation by Establishing a Christian Calendar:
1. Start the year with the Biblical Worldview Summit in Hermanus. Sponsor missionary candidates to
participate in the Great Commission Course, held at Frontline Fellowship near Cape Town. Invest in
young people by providing them with a dynamic programme of Discipleship Training and go through The
Way of the Master and Evangelism Explosion training programmes.
2. Celebrate Sanctity of Life Sunday by preaching on the Sanctity of Life - closest Sunday to 1 February.
3. Observe the anniversary (1 February) of the legalisation of abortion on demand in South Africa as a
National Day of Repentance (March for Life to Parliament on 1 February).
4. Use Human Rights Day (21 March) as an opportunity to campaign for the most basic right of all - the
Right to Life of the most helpless and innocent of all - pre-born babies.
5. Observe Good Friday as the most solemn holiday of the year, contemplating the sacrifice of Christ that
redeemed us from our sins.
6. Celebrate Resurrection Sunday as the most joyous holiday of the year. We serve a risen Saviour. Jesus is
the Resurrection and the Life.
7. Celebrate Ascension Day. Forty days after Resurrection Sunday, Jesus ascended into Heaven. He is King
of kings and Lord of lords. He has all authority in Heaven and on earth. We must therefore go and make
disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey all things that the Lord has commanded.
8. Celebrate Pentecost Sunday - the official birthday of the Church. We need to continually go on being filled
with the Holy Spirit.
9. Use National Women’s Day (9 August) as an opportunity to campaign against the exploitative pornography
industry with Missions in the Malls.
10. Promote International Life Chain Sunday (the first Sunday in October) with a prayer vigil and placard
protest against abortion at a busy intersection in your city.
11. Celebrate Reformation Day (31 October) either by participating in the Reformation Celebration in
Franschhoek, or by organising a special seminar, or service, at your church or school. Observe Reformation
Sunday.
12. Observe the International Day of Prayer (IDOP) for the Persecuted Church (second Sunday in November)
each year and share and show the Remember the Persecuted short video on www.idop-africa.org website
to your congregation or school.
13. Celebrate Christmas (25 December), as the official birthday of the King of kings. Remind family and
friends that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. Wise men still seek Him. Christmas is a great time for
Evangelism, reaching out to the poor and lonely, for Christ-centred Christmas cards, e-mailings and social
media posts to relatives and witnessing to strangers. Put Christ back into Christmas.
“Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12
