05/15/21 Inside Nigeria’s northeast region lies the sprawling city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. With a population of 1 million people, the century-old city is the largest in the area.

Now, fear roams the streets; it’s chased the peace out of the city. Now, Maiduguri is known as “the birthplace of Boko Haram.”

05/14/21 Lee Joo-Chan* (now in his 50s) is one of the thousands of North Koreans who grew up in a Christian family without knowing it. If a North Korean’s faith is discovered, they–and three generations of their families–face prison, physical and mental torture and even death. In this country (#1 for 18 consecutive years on the World Watch List), parents can’t risk telling their children about their faith–perhaps the saddest consequence of North Korea’s high “squeeze factor.” Some parents wait until the children are old enough, then let them in on the “family secret.” Others, like Lee’s parents, never feel that freedom.

05/14/21 “A worthy cause to donate to if you feel so led.” Admin Regular WND readers should be familiar with the name Julio Severo, the fearless and plain-spoken Brazilian Christian writer whose commitment to the defense of biblical marriage and sexuality in his home country brought the wrath of Brazil’s super-powerful LGBT bullies down upon him.

There, literally in exile,

05/03/21 “You never know how something as simple as writing a letter can have a life changing impact. So if God prompts you to do something that seems simple, do it.
