VALUES FROM THE HEART

A value is any deeply cherished principle, belief or conviction held by an individual or group of people. What people really value becomes apparent in observing their behaviour. We may say we believe in ‘good values’ – but do our everyday lives actually reflect Godly values such as honesty or perseverance?

At the heart of many of the problems facing our country and our continent is a gap between the positive values that we profess and our actions. HEARTLINES is a project that uses television, radio and print media to get the nation to talk, think about and act on these values.

No Christian perfectly practices or even understands all of God’s ways. But as believers in the Lord Jesus, we are on a journey with our Creator to discover the principles that make life work best. We trust that through study, prayer and by the power of the Holy Spirit, God’s values will become our own and that we will see our lives - and those around us - transformed.

In 2006, Heartlines launched its first 8 TV drama films in South Africa under the campaign "8 Weeks - 8 Values - One National Conversation". These films were launched this past Sunday in Namibia and will be screened by the NBC TV every Sunday for the next seven weeks at 13:00.

“Living Godly Values” is a resource for teaching and discipleship, designed to challenge us as Christians to live out good values. If you want to know more about the Heartlines project, call 061 258006 or visit http://www.heartlines.co.za/media/8films.asp

The Church is meant to be the primary place where Godly values are taught and practiced.

Please pray for the Heartlines project, the NBC and church as they take hands to build values from the Bible into the lives of the people of Namibia. Pray with us that this National Values Campaign will gain momentum and bare fruit in our society.
