AFRICAN AID
& DAVID CAMERON'S GAY CRUSADE
“Poor African countries that persecute homosexuals
will have their aid slashed by the UK government
in a bid by Prime Minister David Cameron to take his
gay rights crusade to the Third World”.
These words shocked me when I read them
in the Star newspaper earlier this week.
I have never heard of Prime Minister Cameron
in a crusade to fight poverty,unemployment and
disease in “Third World” countries. I have also never
heard of hispassion to alleviate hunger and suffering
in Africa. However, it now appears that he has become
a champion of gay rights, and he wants to “force”
African countries that receive and rely on financial
aid from his government to embrace his moral
beliefs or risk losing or having their aid cut.
Linking financial assistance to poor African countries
to personal beliefs on homosexuality is wrong. It is
wrong for Prime Minister Cameron to use hisgovernment’s
financial muscle to pressurize and attempt to persuade
poor Africancountries that believe that homosexuality
is wrong to forsake their religious opinions and
beliefs and follow him for financial aid. Why should people
be penalized for believing that homosexuality is not an
alternative lifestyle and is a sin before God? I'm just asking.
Maybe somebody should inform Prime Minister David Cameron
that most Africans still believe in the law of God that
condemns homosexuality, prostitution, adultery and other
immoral acts. To use money to try to “force” Africans to
abandon their faith in Godand embrace what they know
to be an abomination is deplorable as it has the potential
to destroy the moral conscience and fiber
of Africa. What we should all do is find ways
to combat violence against homosexuals, women,
children and all other vulnerable groups.
According to reports from Brussels dated 30 December 2010,
seventy nine countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the
Pacific Islands sent a letter to the European Parliament in
October 2010 demanding that the European Union (EU) “stop
pushing its homosexual agenda on developing countries.” The
letter was sent after the EU tried to insert
language on sexual orientation as a category of
non-discrimination in an economic development treaty
between the EU and developing countries.
The European Parliament allegedly responded by passing a
resolution in which it reminded Africa that the EU is responsible
for more than half of the development aidAfrican countries were
receiving, and that the EU remained Africa’s most important
trading partner. Maybe one of us Africans should warn the EU
that it will not remain Africa’s most important trading partner
forever! The EU's perceived homosexual agenda may cause
Africa to turn to the East and open her doors to
China that is looking for opportunities to invest in Africa.
The latest development by those driving the homosexual
agenda is to bring the 4th Mr Gay World Competition to
Johannesburgover the Easterweekend in 2012. I find it
distasteful, disrespectful and offensive for the organizers
of this event to plan a gay world competition during the most
significant religious holiday on the Christian calendar. How
should Christians respond to this unacceptable development?
Should we just watch like lame ducks as Easter holidays are
desecrated by those who don’t care about our beliefs, or
should we speak out?
I’m just asking.

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING!
We thank God that there were no serious
incidents of violence reported during
the recent ANCYL march. We thank Him
that He loves our nation and has a plan
to solve the problems of poverty
and unemployment that we are
struggling with.
LETTER FROM ACDP PRESIDENT
ABOUT MALEMA'S MARCH
20 October 2011
Dear Friend
For some time now I have been warning the nation about a political storm that is coming our way, and have called on Christians to pray for peace in the land. It now looks like prayer has to be intensified as what is happening within the ruling party is a threat to the relative peace we are currently enjoying.
According to media reports, the president of the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema, has vowed to block the M1 highway in Johannesburg, to highlight the plight of the poor. The Youth League national executive committee has called on all its branches, the homeless, poor and unemployed youth to join the protest march they are planning for the 27 and 28 October 2011. The plan is to start the protest in the Johannesburg CBD, then march to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, before heading to the Union Building in Pretoria, where they have planned a night vigil.
There will be ugly confrontations and scenes, even violence, if the ANC youth go ahead with their threats to block the M1 highway. The police are not expected to allow the blockage to take place, and motorists who would be in the area would be caught in the crossfire.
Please pray for peace and security of persons and property on the days around the 27 and 28th. Fasting would also help to strengthen our prayers for peace in our nation. We must also pray for revival and reformation. Our country desperately needs God's intervention.
Yours in Christ
