Reformation FIRE Conference in Franschhoek

We praise God for His blessings on the
Reformation FIRE Conference
held in the historic
Dutch Reformed Church
in picturesque Franschhoek,
​30 October.

Recognising the Threats
The day before Reformation Day, a wide spectrum of Christians from far and wide gathered together to recognise the threats - how civilization has been hijacked and to turn the tide by considering the battle-proven Reformation strategies for Revival.

Turning the Tide
Strategy groups considered how we may decisively work for Biblical Reformation in education, in the news media, entertainment, churches and in the social and political spheres. Report backs were given on Reformation FIRE seminars that have already been held in seven countries throughout Africa, hosted by affiliates of the Christian Action Network.

Responding to the Challenges
At the conclusion of the conference, The Franschhoek Declaration was discussed, amended and adopted. The presentations were recorded, both audio and video and the resolutions and summaries of the Strategy Group recommendations are available.

Backgrounds of Participants
Participants at the Reformation FIRE Conference included pastors, missionaries, chaplains, teachers, businessmen, doctors, a pilot, some involved in student ministries, the news media, music ministries, radio ministries, writing, publishing, Evangelism and ministry to the poor. Participants also included students and pensioners.

Geographic Representation
According to the registration forms, participants came from as far afield as Durban, Hermanus, Stellenbosch, Grabouw, Philippi, Malmesbury, Atlantis, Ceres, Mamre, Milnerton, Claremont, Table View, Rondebosch, Woodstock, Pinelands, Franschhoek and Cape Town.

Denominations
Participants came from a wide spectrum of church traditions, including Anglicans, Baptists, Brethren, Church of England in South Africa, Presbyterian, the Dutch Reformed Church, Moravian, and a range of Pentecostal and Charismatic churches.

Working Together for Reformation
The Reformation FIRE Conference was hosted by the Christian Action Network, Frontline Fellowship, The Reformation Society and Africa Christian Action. Aside from the heads of these organisations, the Founder and Director of The Christian Coalition and The Ark Christian Ministries in Durban also participated, as did the leader of the KwaSizabantu Mission in Malmesbury.
