While I was reading Acts 15 this morning, about Paul’s time in Jerusalem before his second missionary journey, I saw the following: “ They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, …men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”. The church valued those who had risked their lives for the gospel and recommended them for following missionary journeys. To me, it corresponds to what BTJ missionaries are in this time.

I got a prayer request today originally from a Finnish brother (Risto) about the war in Ukraine. The following is my translation (and I've added those in parentheses):

"The Russian troops have started to deport Ukrainians to Russia from the areas they have conquered. This same thing happened also during the Finnish Winter War (against Sovietunion), when the Finnish warprisoners were deported to Siberia (into labour/concentration camps).
Only God can stop this. Let us pray that God will intervene and stop this, and also that only God's will will happen in the Ukranian war and not the will of the rulers of this world."

I found a link about how Ukrainians are being deported to Russia:

LOVE THIS!
Prayers are needed as this woman's testimony is changing lives!

This is a serious threat on free speech! Twitter, Facebook and Instagram lock accounts out and call it hate speech, just because they are inconvenient or speak the truth. You know, even saying that Jesus is the only way to God, or saying God created us to male and female is hate speech. This world is upside down. The Babylon Bee is a satire page, humor! It's ridiculous that you can't even joke about the craziness in our world.

These Ukrainian Christians are my heroes. Most people would be scared to death if they would be in the same situation - in between two Russian frontlines. They don't deny reality (they are in contact with the military). And they don't deny the Biblical reality.

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.

So I did a thing !

I clicked the publish button for my first book...which means the eBook will be available for pre-order within the next 72 hours.

Both the paperback version, and eBook version, will be published - on Amazon from Friday 25th March.

Feeling both nervous and excited for my new little baby - Broken Dreams, and Hope!

@sinbach Thank you for giving me an insight of the movie, it did help me to better understand your point of view.

Yes, I have watched the movie (maybe those other in the series too..?) in my youth, sometimes in the 90's. So when you brought it up and to refresh my memory, I went and read the story from the net. 😅

I have in my youth watched SO many movies, too many!, and most of them that kind of which I'd rather forget!

I found Jesus (or better said, Jesus found me!) when I was 23-years old. Since then I haven't had the thurst for the kind of movies anymore which don't build up my faith or have something that I can relate too. I have realized my time is too short and valuable - I have already spoiled too much of it! - so now I just want to use it wisely. 🙏

The Jewish economy was dependent on farming. They prospered in every walk of life.
Please pray that our nation may return to the creator and prosper.
The believers will become role models for the Nation.
