“When it is evening, you say,‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’And in the morning,‘There will be a storm today,for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky,but cannot discern the signs of the times? Matthew 16:2-3 NIV I find this verse eerily prophetic.
"If one part suffers, all parts suffer with it..."* In my ten years of bringing awareness to the plight of our persecuted brothers and sisters, I have never been so broken-hearted as I am tonight. Because of COVID, there are NOW millions of Christians without food in South Asia. That's right...millions! These brothers and sisters were severely impoverished and barely subsisting as day
I'm so confused. On Sunday, September 22, Houston, Texas held “Howdy Modi!” to honor India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. More than 50,000 people were estimated to attend, including President Trump and many other political and influential dignitaries. Crazy thing is that just a few years ago, the U.S. State Department denied him a visa and access
Christian persecution isn’t just half-way-around-the-world – it’s in our backyard and it’s very troubling. In Chiapas, Mexico our brothers and sisters are suffering greatly for Jesus’ name.

I’m excited to report that last week, the U.S. State Department held its second annual Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom in Washington, D.C.

I’m so excited…the Lord is using my book Heirloom Love to radically multiply the number of American Christians who are caring for our persecuted brothers and sisters. Let me share with you one of my favorite stories: I was asked by a pastor on the West Coast to speak to his church because many of his members
Yay!!!! Praise the Lord, she is FREE!!I am thrilled to share the news with you that Asia Bibi has finally left Pakistan! I am not aware of anyone in Pakistan that was ever been released after being charged with blasphemy - it truly is a miracle! Asia was first arrested when I started this ministry almost
I'm overwhelmed by the love of God in the face of evil. It's beyond my comprehension that a human can show the love of God like Pastor Roshan at Zion Evangelical Church after his church was bombed in Sri Lanka. It truly is Christ in him! This is an extraordinary, must-see video! Let us continue
Anusha's Story As we celebrated Jesus’ resurrection, our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka found themselves crushed under the weight of His cross. Our sister Anusha Kumari is among the survivors who lost everything last Sunday. The picture above was taken moments before Anusha wrestled herself free from her sister and threw herself on the grave
Have you ever been so blown away by someone’s faith that you question your own? Someone who’s “all in” for Jesus, even when it means losing everything?
