Standing beside my wife in Japan, I'm reminded of how faithfully she has stood by me through every season - through the victories, the trials, the changes, and the moments when God was doing a deeper work in me.

I know i am in a season of change. The Lord has been speaking clearly, and I am becoming increasingly aware of what must remain and what must be released.

There is a deep humility in this season. I feel very small before God, because when He begins to reshape your life, you realise how little you truly control. I am laying down excess, unnecessary distractions, and relationships that no longer belong in the assignment God has placed before me.

Some things have served their purpose. Some chapters have ended and I believe the Lord is making it very clear that I must not keep looking back.

So I ask those who genuinely care about me: please pray for me. Pray for strength, wisdom, discernment, obedience, and the grace to walk fully in what God is doing.

I honour the past for what it taught me, but I will not live there.

The past is over. That chapter has closed.

What God is doing now requires me to move forward - lighter, humbler, cleaner, and more focused on Him.

And I'm grateful that through it all, my wife has stood beside me.

A new season. A new chapter. A deeper walk with the Lord. ❤️🙏

He added that the operation demonstrated U.S. military capability and reaffirmed his administration’s stance against extremist movements.

🚨BREAKING: A series of earthquakes has shaken Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city — the strongest registering a magnitude of 6.2.

Tremors struck within minutes of each other along the Sea of Marmara coastline, rattling buildings and sending people fleeing into the streets.

According to Turkey’s disaster agency, the seismic activity was concentrated near Istanbul, home to more than 16 million people — roughly a fifth of the nation’s population.

The second 6.2 magnitude quake is being seen as the most concerning, given its intensity and proximity to densely populated areas.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed the quakes were also felt across neighboring provinces, as authorities continue to monitor the situation.

More updates to follow as details emerge. #earthquake

U.S. Vice President JD Vance Among Final Visitors to Pope Francis Before His Passing:

In what has now become one of Pope Francis’ last personal encounters, VP Vance met briefly with the pontiff on Easter Sunday in Rome—just a day before the pope’s death at age 88.

Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, had also engaged in extended discussions with senior Vatican officials the day prior, focusing on global instability, migration issues, and the Church’s role in navigating these challenges.

With Pope Francis passing just hours later, the brief meeting stands as one of his final public moments. #popefrancisdeath
