Repost!🙌🏼

I just finished an interview with Brad from Across Nigeria… and honestly, I’m sitting here stunned.

Today, he buried 14 Christians in a mass grave.
Two were infants.
One was a 4-year-old child.
And this isn’t some recycled internet story or political talking point. Brad was literally there today helping bury them. While on the way to investigate one attack, another Christian community was attacked. He said the violence is happening so fast they can barely keep up anymore.
What shocked me even more is this:
Brad shared that 72% of all Christians killed worldwide last year were killed in this region of Nigeria.
72%.
And hardly anybody is talking about it.
The mainstream media should be all over this. Instead, most people scrolling social media today have no idea our brothers and sisters in Christ are being slaughtered while churches are being forced underground.
Guys… this matters.
Please watch this interview.
Please pray for these families.
And PLEASE share this everywhere you can.
At this point, WE are the media.
WE are how people find out.
WE are the distribution network.
If enough ordinary people start sharing the truth, eventually the world will have to pay attention.
Watch the full conversation and help us get this story out.

@TeamYouTube @GodLogic_GL Then get a move on! It will take a human agent 10 minutes to verify he was given permission to post this livestream on his channel. Pathetic.

Government officials recently admitted that roughly 50,000 of Iran's 75,000 mosques are now closed.

The reason? A massive drop in attendance as younger generations distance themselves from state-mandated religion.

Christianity is on the Rise.

While mosques sit empty, the underground church is exploding. Estimates suggest over 1 million Iranians have converted to Christianity, making it one of the fastest-growing movements in the world, despite the high risk of persecution.

From secret house churches to satellite broadcasts, a new spiritual chapter is being written in Iran

In Afghanistan, the Taliban has established its latest penal code, and the legislation presents yet another dark cloud over the lives of believers in the nation – especially women.

The code legitimises domestic abuse of women by their husbands with extremely loose safeguards. Women who convert from Islam to Christianity already face numerous restrictions and threats on their lives if their faith is discovered.

“The provisions contained in this penal code raise serious concerns for the protection of women and girls in Afghanistan,” an Open Doors spokesperson explains.

Please pray for our sisters in Afghanistan experiencing persecution and the threat of erasure from within their own homes. Your prayers and support remind them that they are not alone – their global church family stands with them. https://t.co/T3w2tKx3P0

As airstrikes on #Iran begin, local Christians ask for urgent prayer.

“As an Iranian and as a Christian, I speak with a heavy heart,” shares a local Open Doors partner. "I do not take lightly the suffering that war brings to ordinary families in Iran, in Israel and across the region.

“Yet, if this painful moment becomes a turning point toward justice and true liberty, then my prayer is that it leads not to greater destruction, but to the restoration of dignity, hope and peace.

“As followers of Christ, we pray for the protection of the innocent, for restraint among leaders, and for a future where Iran and the region may know freedom without fear. May God bring light out of darkness and peace out of turmoil.”

Please join in prayer for peace, protection and a future characterised by light, hope and freedom for all.

The real answer is not more government-funded youth programs (as helpful as these may be), but a return to healthy family, healthy fatherhood, and healthy masculinity!

[Simon Pastorello @SimonPastorello]

This makes me so angry! For years I've been saying that we don't have a "gangs" problem, or a "far-right" problem, or a "mysogenistic" problem - but a FATHERLESSNESS problem!

[Simon Pastorello @SimonPastorello]

And all this is made worse by a society that erodes and dismisses marriage, politicians who would rather label unheeded anger and frustration as extremism or "thuggery", and a hyper feminised Church that calls masculinity and patriarchy toxic!

[Simon Pastorello @SimonPastorello]

They are finally getting the memo!

@j_bambrick From liberal to conservative, from protestant to catholic, from pro Israel to antisemite. Give her another 5 more minutes and she'll probably circle back - or can it get any worse? 🤔

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

[Simon Pastorello @SimonPastorello]

What a loss. A hugely talented, intelligent, godly and respectful debater and apologist. Since words could not stop him, his opponents resorted to a bullet - an increasingly common tactic among those who demonised "offence" in the name of tolerance... RIP brother.

@j_bambrick Let me rephrase, any type of diving is dumb. But I'm clearly bias 😅

Once again, our secular Western societies fail to understand the true nature of yet another Middle Eastern conflict. They try to understand it politically when it is ultimately theological in nature - https://t.co/XlJnIPfuPo

@PPHallam @GavCalver Absolute tragedy! How this is not seen as infanticide is beyond me. They cannot even hide behind the "it's just a bunch of cells" excuse anymore. Part of me wants to say "God have mercy" while the other wants to see Jesus come back and put an end to this demonic circus!
