SA Christians standing for life at national conference, march and life chains

The annual National Alliance for Life (NAL) Conference and March for Life will take place respectively on Saturday October 3 and Sunday October 4, 2015 in Durban, and other pro-life events will take place in Cape Town, East London and Bloemfontein to coincide with International Life Chain Sunday — the first Sunday of October each
year.

All pro-lifers and pro-life ministries in South Africa are invited to participate in the NAL Conference from 9am to 1pm on Saturday, October 3, at Gateway Christian Church, Umhlanga. Contact Doctors for Life at mail@dfl.org.za or 032 481 5550 to participate. The conference provides an opportunity for pro-lifers to report back on their efforts to promote life from conception to natural death in our country where more than 80 000 babies are legally killed by abortion each year despite overwhelming public opinion against abortion.
