UCDP 2009 Elections Manifesto- LAND POLICY

5. LAND POLICY
A UCDP-led government will ensure that:
o The process of restitution will be sped up. There is legitimate need by the poor, labour tenants, farm workers, women and emergent farmers for agricultural and housing land; and
o Orderly and responsible market-led land restitution, including unused state-owned land is allocated to deserving communities.

THE OUTREACHES

The main emphasis of Life Place to reach out to the men and women that are lost in the world of prostitution. Many have come from an abusive background or found themselves in this situation due to untenable circumstances. The goal is to help them leave behind that life by giving them hope in the form of Jesus Christ and an alternative way to make a living.
Day and night members of the team at Life Place walk the streets of the Point area in Durban. The team goes into the bars and into the Escort agencies talking to the prostitutes, pimps and their customers. They speak to those that they meet about the love of Jesus and offer them help to leave behind the life that they have been living.
Life Place operates as a coffee shop, which enables all those that the team has met on the streets and any passers by to walk in. They can come in to receive free counseling or just to have a meal. The coffee shop also runs a free HIV counseling and testing clinic once a week on a Saturday.
The men, women and children ( yes children we have found girls as young as 9 working as prostitutes) that come to Life Place receive Godly counsel and if they are ready and willing they are sent to a residential place of help. Here they receive further intensive counseling and spiritual strengthening. At the end of this time they are enrolled in a skills training program of their choice or if they are children they return home to their families or another suitable place of safety. Those that are given skills training study a variety of subjects from Baking to Computing. After this many go on to become productive members of the society. Often they come back to assist in the ministry. Over 200 people that we are aware of have been helped through this ministry. There are many more that give their hearts to Christ on the street and go away to allow the Lord to work in their hearts without us ever knowing.

Act against the legalizing of prostitution now South African Christians

I cannot believe that we can be that passive when issues that threatens to break up firstly our Christian values and secondly our family values. We have got the mandate from the Highest Office and yet we prefer to keep quiet.
Legalizing and or decriminalizing prostitution will indeed bring this country morally on its knees. Who will suffer the most?
Do we even care about our children, women (willing and unwilling) or teenagers? We as husbands, fathers, mothers, elder brothers and elder sisters have got a duty to protect our family members, friends, friends’ children and our neighbours.
God commands us to love our neighbour as we love ourselves.
Please do not make the mistake of thinking your family will never be touched by decriminalizing or legalizing prostitution. It is time that we stand up and be counted. A time to come together as One Voice; not our voices, but His.
Let us start to organize in our areas (not just your church because that will exclude other Christians and non-christians in your area attending) and plan prayer sessions, signing of memoranda, etc. You can use this blog-post as your discussions board (under comments) or you can email me a theme for your area and I will publish it as a post, which you can use as an information board for your area.

There is a lot of information available on this blog-site which you can use in your discussions and planning.
