Loading player...
In this episode of Christian Perspective on the News on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Dr. Pete Hammond discusses the importance of International Life Chain Sunday, observed on the first Sunday of October. This year, it falls on Sunday, 4 October. Dr. Hammond explains the biblical basis for the sanctity of life, beginning at conception, and highlights the tragedy of abortion in South Africa, where over 100,000 lives are ended annually and six million babies have been killed since legalization in 1997.

He details the four main abortion methods used in South Africa and calls on Christians to take a stand. The episode announces a Life Chain event taking place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, 4 October, at the Traffic Island on Burton Street and Crock Street in Cape Town (between the entrance to the V&A Waterfront and the Cape Town International Conference Center). The event is described as a placard protest, prayer vigil, and evangelistic outreach, with mass literature distribution and personal evangelism.

Dr. Hammond encourages listeners to pray for mothers who have had abortions, crisis pregnancy centers, medical personnel, voters, journalists, pastors, and churches. He emphasizes the need to choose life, support adoption, and vote for pro-life candidates in the upcoming municipal elections. More details are available at www.frontlinemissionsa.org under events.
