In fact, one Chinese church in Manchester has grown from 200 to 1,200. “Almost 1 in 4 Hong Kong immigrants to theContinue reading “Chinese Churches in UK Growing”

Christians Released from Iranian Prison
Praise God two Christian prisoners in an Iranian prison known as the “torture factory” were recently released without explanation.

Some Things Must Not Be Compromised
Nearly every day in the news we hear of one more way a church or Christian leader has compromised, embracing worldly viewpoints and sin, bowing to those idols. This is nothing new. For all throughout the Bible we see God’s people bowing left and right (pun on present political idolatry) to anything but Him. ButContinue reading “Some Things Must Not Be Compromised”
All the More Fighting in Tigray
Despite agreeing to peace talks (which have been delayed), neither side has relented in the Tigray conflict.

China in Our Prayers
Due to last week’s bus crash in Guizhou Province that killed 27 people, China’s zero-Covid measures, the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (October 16), persecution of Christians and Muslims, and many other reasons China has been in the news of late, let’s remember the people of that nation in prayer. Lord,Continue reading “China in Our Prayers”
Hundreds Turn to Christ in Myanmar
Since a military coup in Myanmar early last year, thousands of innocent people have died, many of those Christians. Fighting in the mostly Christian Chin State has left countless families homeless and hiding in the jungles, their villages burned, and dozens of churches ransacked, shelled and occupied. Baptist pastor Cung Biak Hum was gunned downContinue reading “Hundreds Turn to Christ in Myanmar”
Let Us Not Grow Weary
Tired of the constant news of bombings, death and atrocities in Ukraine, our war-weary hearts can tend to wane in prayer, aid and even interest. Donations to Christian agencies like SendRelief.org that provide help for Ukrainians in need have a tendency to dwindle the longer the battle continues. But displaced families are still hungry andContinue reading “Let Us Not Grow Weary”
