LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Christians need to stand together!

Thank you for highlighting the Comprehensive Sex Education Bill that the government is considering enforcing in the primary schools of South Africa. It is a disgrace and must be stopped. Parents have to stand together and summons their school principals and governing bodies to a meeting and demonstrate their dismay and disdain. If they don’t stand together and keep thinking someone else will sort it out, then their children are in for a disaster. It seems like every month something new and evil is getting proposed. It shows the lack of values of the people running our country. Please Lord Jesus intervene. I pray your people will rise and respond.

Concerned parent

Anyone looking for a pastor?

I greet you in the wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus. I would like to ask if anyone knows of any pastoral vacancies that are available in South Africa at the moment. It can be for a lay pastor, assistant pastor, or youth pastor. I am a 38-year-old Portuguese male. Please contact me on 083 825 5221 or email freddydacosta@gmail.com. Please, I look forward to your positive response. God bless.
