“God the Father calls us now to bring this senseless carnage on our roads to an end,” said Jan de Bruin (Executive Director, Highway Ministries).<\/p>\n
According to Mr De Bruin, Highway Prayer Patrol has aimed to combat road deaths by prayer and direct engagement with Arrive Alive and other road safety actions since 2006. “We received a command from the Lord to organise a National Day of Prayer against road deaths.”<\/p>\n
Prayer teams will go to high-risk areas where accidents occur frequently, praying against accidents and fatalities at these sites.
\nThese areas can be identified in conjunction with police and traffic divisions in your town and surrounding area.<\/p>\n
He appeals to all Christian churches and institutions to devote messages and prayers to the causes and reasons for this enormous mortality rate on our roads.<\/p>\n
They ask leaders of all Christian denominations to focus this day on road safety from a biblical perspective. Churches and organisations can colour the day by inviting traffic and police officers to talk about what they experience and learn about road users behaviour, attitude and obedience to the law.<\/p>\n
The theme of prayer is: “Road Safety Begins with Me”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The prayer initiative is from today (14 December) to 10 January and the prayer tents will be pitched at the following places:<\/p>\n \u2022N4 Alzu Petroport between Middelburg and Belfast, Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n \u2022N4 Kaap Muiden at the Malelane Toll Plaza, Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n \u2022N3 Total Petroport from north to south, between Alberton and Heidelberg.<\/p>\n \u2022N1 Bergsig Motors Worcester, Western Cape. \u2022N4: Jeremiah Zulu 072 356 1634, Callie Joubert 082 566 6935 or Henri\u00ebtte Pieterse 082 565 5159.<\/p>\n \u2022N3: Jan de Bruin 083 455 7814 or Liza Nel 083 412 2990.<\/p>\n \u2022N1: Farrell van der Westhuizen 082 478 0963.<\/p>\n \u2022Highway Ministry Office on 016 349 1996 or send an email to highwaymin@lantic.net.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hawks members sent to jail for fraud<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n WATCH: The Place of Refuge \u2013 Once a vibrant village, now a ghost town<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n WATCH: Robbery caught on video, police looking for suspects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Three counts of poaching in one week \u2013 and the toll keeps rising<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 Save our standby number (072 248 3855) and send us a WhatsApp message with the words \u201cAdd me\u201d to be added to our broadcast list.<\/p>\n \u2022 Like us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, follow us on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Subscribe to our\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
