“If we look at the state of the world around us, much seems to be impossible. How do we weather the storm of a financial crisis, of social loneliness, of divided communities, and of families struggling with a variety of complex issues?How do we navigate a time of global conflict, of war and destruction, of hateful rhetoric, and of apparently irreconcilable difference? The God of the impossible is the solution to all of our concerns, and the God of the impossible is our hope. Whether it be in our personal lives or amidst global challenges, we place all of our concerns and our struggles into His faithful and capable hands. We trust that in the fulness of time, as the Cross was transformed into the empty tomb, our struggles will be transformed into the inconceivable victory in our Lord”
A blessed and joyous Feast of the Glorious Resurrection to you all!

Very sad and shame #Eritrea, a country that has been independent for more than 30 years and spends millions of dollars on security to protect the regime doesn’t have a CT Scan or MRI machine in its hospitals
What a powerful media story about the Eritrean human rights crisis. It's all brilliant - Semhar's story, the way she tells it, the way it's connected to the wider crisis.
@semharnay haftey. You never seize to inspire me. The movement is so lucky to have. https://t.co/vRR8O3wxYE
