Re-Wired: Get Your Brain Back – shows how

pornography addiction is like a drug in the way that it

affects your brain (science behind the harmful effects

of addiction on the brain is shown, no inappropriate

pictures!). Most importantly, we teach learners how to

protect themselves from digital cocaine.

The Truth About Abortion: “When does life begin?”.

What does abortion really involve? What is its impact

on the mother and father?

PROMOTING HOME EDUCATION

Another key focus of our ministry is promoting home

education. Visit www.christianlibertybooks.co.za

for excellent, home education curriculum and resources.

Who is Africa Christian Action? Launched in 1991,

Africa Christian Action is an educational and advocacy

ministry, seeking to mobilise Christians to be Salt and

Light in their congregations, communities and countries.

We particularly focus on pro-life and pro-family issues

and religious freedom. In this changing and chaotic time,

we present timeless Biblical principles on all areas of life

to a confused world. We are active in the public square

through our Biblical and historical analysis of sociopolitical

issues, calling Christians to pray for Revival and

work for Biblical Reformation. For over 30 years our

Biblical Worldview Seminars and Summits have inspired

thousands to apply the Lordship of Christ in all areas

of life. We have organised delegations to government

officials and have presented submissions on legislation to

Parliament. We are evangelistic and use these issues as a

springboard for the Gospel, recognising that individuals

need a new nature through regeneration, for the

Kingdom of God to come in their lives before they can

transform society. We give presentations at schools and

churches across South Africa. Our primary focus is South

Africa and throughout Africa.

For over 25 years we have been hosting a weekly

programme, called Salt and Light on Radio Tygerberg

104FM. On our Africa Christian Action Facebook

page, we share photos from outreaches, events and other

helpful links to inform, inspire and involve.

EVERY DAY

OVER 250 BABIES

ARE KILLED

BY ABORTION

IN SOUTH AFRICA…

YOU CAN SAVE LIVES

STOP ABORTIONS

“You are the salt of the earth...

You are the light of the world...

let your light shine before men,

that they may see your good deeds

and praise your Father in Heaven.”

Matthew 5:13-16


1

Be Informed. Our pro-life resources will

educate you about what the Bible says about the

preciousness of each person made in the image of God

and God’s Commands to protect innocent life. We are

available to give presentations at your pastors’ fraternal,

church, or school about how you can stand for life.

You can mobilise your congregation to make a positive

difference in your community. ACA can provide helpful

information on how to counsel and support women

facing a crisis pregnancy and counseling resources

for those who have had abortions. We can also screen

pro-life documentaries (e.g. The Hard Truth, The

Abortion Matrix), or dramatic films (e.g. Unplanned,

Gosnell) at your cell group or church. Pro-Life

Information Packs are available.

Be Interceding. ACA can equip you to more

effectively intercede for lives to be saved.

“I looked for a man among them who would

build up the wall and stand before Me in the

gap on behalf of the land so I would not have

to destroy it.” Ezekiel 22:30

Be involved: Educate and enlist others in this

Fight for Life. Keep reading for more information

on grassroots action projects, annual outreaches and

schools presentations. “Speak up for those who

cannot speak for themselves” Proverbs 31:8.

GRASSROOTS ACTION — FEET ON THE STREET

Outreaches Outside Marie Stopes Abortion Clinics

There are a several groups around South Africa that

are actively involved in praying, counselling and

sharing the Gospel outside abortuaries. We can equip

you with pro-life placards and tracts to witness for Life

outside an abortuary near you, or connect you up with

groups in your city. “Rescue those being led away

to death; hold back those staggering toward

slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing

about this’, does not He who weighs the heart

perceive it? Does not He who guards your life

know it? Will not He repay each one according

to what he has done?” Proverbs 24:11-12

ANNUAL OUTREACHES

Sanctity Life Sunday: Considering that the

population of South Africa is over 60 million, there

are probably over 500 000 congregations in South

Africa. If just half of them could be inspired to study

what the Word of God says on when life begins and

what abortion is; if only half the churches in South

Africa observed Sanctity Life Sunday (last Sunday

in January) in Bible study, repentance and prayer - then

we could begin to end the legalised killing of babies.

March for Life to Parliament: The 1 st of February

every year marks the anniversary of the legalisation of

abortion on demand in South Africa. Since 1 February

1997, more than one million, eight hundred thousand

babies have been killed in South Africa - by abortion

- legally. “Does not wisdom call out? Does not

understanding raise her voice? On the heights

along the way, where the paths meet, she takes

her stand; beside the gates leading into the city,

at the entrances, she cries aloud.” Proverbs 8:1-3

Women’s Day Missions in the Mall: Women and

girls need real protection and respect – practical action,

not pious platitudes from hypocritical 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

trafficking, prostitution and pornography? On 9 August

we set up literature tables in different shopping malls,

primarily focusing on informing and motivating people

to make a difference in stopping human trafficking.

Sign up to volunteer or organise your own Women’s

Day outreach in a mall. “Who will rise up for Me

against the wicked? Who will take a stand for Me

against evildoers?” Psalm 94:1

Life Chain Sunday: The first Sunday in October

every year is International Life Chain Sunday. Join

together with tens of thousands of pro-lifers worldwide

in prayer and action. With messages such as “Abortion

Kills Babies”, “Abortion: One Heart Stops, Another Heart

Breaks,” “Adoption - the Loving Option”,“Choose Life! So that

you and your children may live,” and “Babies are a blessing,”

Life Chain participants have informed millions of

passing motorists as they line the streets of their cities.

The Life Chains are one of the positive and practical

ways that you can mobilise your congregation to be a

voice for the pre-born. “Could you men not keep

watch with Me for one hour?” Matthew 26:40

SCHOOLS PRESENTATIONS

(AND YOUTH GROUPS / CELL GROUPS / CHURCHES)

The current Life Skills Curriculum does not

adequately address the serious issues of pornography

addiction, human trafficking, or abortion.

Unfortunately for youth, they have few, if any,

resources dedicated to preventing – or even addressing

these issues. ACA has given these presentations at

schools across Africa. We offer these presentations for

free as a service to the community. The length of the

presentation is flexible, depending on where and to

whom you would like us to give it. The presentations

are interactive, and we use PowerPoint, with short

videos. These are age appropriate and sensitively

presented. We also have a primary school version of

Traffick Proof. Request our letter to send to teachers

at your school or youth group.

The Traffick Proof presentation details different

scenarios (such as overseas job opportunities) that

traffickers could use to deceive their victims into being

trafficked. The presentation equips youth with the skills

to ask the right questions and avoid being trafficked

(kidnapped / enslaved).
