Re-Wired: Get Your Brain Back – shows how<br />
pornography addiction is like a drug in the way that it<br />
affects your brain (science behind the harmful effects<br />
of addiction on the brain is shown, no inappropriate<br />
pictures!). Most importantly, we teach learners how to<br />
protect themselves from digital cocaine.<br />
The Truth About Abortion: “When does life begin?”.<br />
What does abortion really involve? What is its impact<br />
on the mother and father?<br />
PROMOTING HOME EDUCATION<br />
Another key focus of our ministry is promoting home<br />
education. Visit www.christianlibertybooks.co.za<br />
for excellent, home education curriculum and resources.<br />
Who is Africa <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Action</strong>? Launched in 1991,<br />
Africa <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Action</strong> is an educational and advocacy<br />
ministry, seeking to mobilise <strong>Christian</strong>s to be Salt and<br />
Light in their congregations, communities and countries.<br />
We particularly focus on pro-life and pro-family issues<br />
and religious freedom. In this changing and chaotic time,<br />
we present timeless Biblical principles on all areas of life<br />
to a confused world. We are active in the public square<br />
through our Biblical and historical analysis of sociopolitical<br />
issues, calling <strong>Christian</strong>s to pray for Revival and<br />
work for Biblical Reformation. For over 30 years our<br />
Biblical Worldview Seminars and Summits have inspired<br />
thousands to apply the Lordship of Christ in all areas<br />
of life. We have organised delegations to government<br />
officials and have presented submissions on legislation to<br />
Parliament. We are evangelistic and use these issues as a<br />
springboard for the Gospel, recognising that individuals<br />
need a new nature through regeneration, for the<br />
Kingdom of God to come in their lives before they can<br />
transform society. We give presentations at schools and<br />
churches across South Africa. Our primary focus is South<br />
Africa and throughout Africa.<br />
For over 25 years we have been hosting a weekly<br />
programme, called Salt and Light on Radio Tygerberg<br />
104FM. On our Africa <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Action</strong> Facebook<br />
page, we share photos from outreaches, events and other<br />
helpful links to inform, inspire and involve.<br />

EVERY DAY<br />
OVER 250 BABIES<br />
ARE KILLED<br />
BY ABORTION<br />
IN SOUTH AFRICA…<br />
YOU CAN SAVE LIVES<br />
STOP ABORTIONS<br />
“You are the salt of the earth...<br />
You are the light of the world...<br />
let your light shine before men,<br />
that they may see your good deeds<br />
and praise your Father in Heaven.”<br />
Matthew 5:13-16

Be Informed. Our pro-life resources will<br />
educate you about what the Bible says about the<br />
preciousness of each person made in the image of God<br />
and God’s Commands to protect innocent life. We are<br />
available to give presentations at your pastors’ fraternal,<br />
church, or school about how you can stand for life.<br />
You can mobilise your congregation to make a positive<br />
difference in your community. ACA can provide helpful<br />
information on how to counsel and support women<br />
facing a crisis pregnancy and counseling resources<br />
for those who have had abortions. We can also screen<br />
pro-life documentaries (e.g. The Hard Truth, The<br />
Abortion Matrix), or dramatic films (e.g. Unplanned,<br />
Gosnell) at your cell group or church. Pro-Life<br />
Information Packs are available.<br />

Be Interceding. ACA can equip you to more<br />
effectively intercede for lives to be saved.<br />
“I looked for a man among them who would<br />
build up the wall and stand before Me in the<br />
gap on behalf of the land so I would not have<br />
to destroy it.” Ezekiel 22:30<br />

Be involved: Educate and enlist others in this<br />
Fight for Life. Keep reading for more information<br />
on grassroots action projects, annual outreaches and<br />
schools presentations. “Speak up for those who<br />
cannot speak for themselves” Proverbs 31:8.<br />
GRASSROOTS ACTION — FEET ON THE STREET<br />
Outreaches Outside Marie Stopes Abortion Clinics<br />
There are a several groups around South Africa that<br />
are actively involved in praying, counselling and<br />
sharing the Gospel outside abortuaries. We can equip<br />
you with pro-life placards and tracts to witness for Life<br />
outside an abortuary near you, or connect you up with<br />
groups in your city. “Rescue those being led away<br />
to death; hold back those staggering toward<br />
slaughter. If you say, ‘But we knew nothing<br />
about this’, does not He who weighs the heart<br />
perceive it? Does not He who guards your life<br />
know it? Will not He repay each one according<br />
to what he has done?” Proverbs 24:11-12<br />
ANNUAL OUTREACHES<br />
Sanctity Life Sunday: Considering that the<br />
population of South Africa is over 60 million, there<br />
are probably over 500 000 congregations in South<br />
Africa. If just half of them could be inspired to study<br />
what the Word of God says on when life begins and<br />
what abortion is; if only half the churches in South<br />
Africa observed Sanctity Life Sunday (last Sunday<br />
in January) in Bible study, repentance and prayer - then<br />
we could begin to end the legalised killing of babies.<br />
March for Life to Parliament: The 1 st of February<br />
every year marks the anniversary of the legalisation of<br />
abortion on demand in South Africa. Since 1 February<br />
1997, more than one million, eight hundred thousand<br />
babies have been killed in South Africa - by abortion<br />
- legally. “Does not wisdom call out? Does not<br />
understanding raise her voice? On the heights<br />
along the way, where the paths meet, she takes<br />
her stand; beside the gates leading into the city,<br />
at the entrances, she cries aloud.” Proverbs 8:1-3<br />
Women’s Day Missions in the Mall: Women and<br />
girls need real protection and respect – practical action,<br />
not pious platitudes from hypocritical politicians and<br />
meaningless public holidays! Why not use National<br />
Women’s Day (9 August) as an opportunity to inform,<br />
inspire and involve people in promoting awareness<br />
and taking action against the exploitation of women in<br />
trafficking, prostitution and pornography? On 9 August<br />
we set up literature tables in different shopping malls,<br />
primarily focusing on informing and motivating people<br />
to make a difference in stopping human trafficking.<br />
Sign up to volunteer or organise your own Women’s<br />
Day outreach in a mall. “Who will rise up for Me<br />
against the wicked? Who will take a stand for Me<br />
against evildoers?” Psalm 94:1<br />
Life Chain Sunday: The first Sunday in October<br />
every year is International Life Chain Sunday. Join<br />
together with tens of thousands of pro-lifers worldwide<br />
in prayer and action. With messages such as “Abortion<br />
Kills Babies”, “Abortion: One Heart Stops, Another Heart<br />
Breaks,” “Adoption - the Loving Option”,“Choose Life! So that<br />
you and your children may live,” and “Babies are a blessing,”<br />
Life Chain participants have informed millions of<br />
passing motorists as they line the streets of their cities.<br />
The Life Chains are one of the positive and practical<br />
ways that you can mobilise your congregation to be a<br />
voice for the pre-born. “Could you men not keep<br />
watch with Me for one hour?” Matthew 26:40<br />
SCHOOLS PRESENTATIONS<br />
(AND YOUTH GROUPS / CELL GROUPS / CHURCHES)<br />
The current Life Skills Curriculum does not<br />
adequately address the serious issues of pornography<br />
addiction, human trafficking, or abortion.<br />
Unfortunately for youth, they have few, if any,<br />
resources dedicated to preventing – or even addressing<br />
these issues. ACA has given these presentations at<br />
schools across Africa. We offer these presentations for<br />
free as a service to the community. The length of the<br />
presentation is flexible, depending on where and to<br />
whom you would like us to give it. The presentations<br />
are interactive, and we use PowerPoint, with short<br />
videos. These are age appropriate and sensitively<br />
presented. We also have a primary school version of<br />
Traffick Proof. Request our letter to send to teachers<br />
at your school or youth group.<br />
The Traffick Proof presentation details different<br />
scenarios (such as overseas job opportunities) that<br />
traffickers could use to deceive their victims into being<br />
trafficked. The presentation equips youth with the skills<br />
to ask the right questions and avoid being trafficked<br />
(kidnapped / enslaved).
