From a book called Broken English. I suppose you have experienced some of it @sinbach Here are a few examples from China, and one from Finland. There are even worse, but I suppose it's not appropriate to share it openly on DD. 😂

@tanjaostman Amen! I love how we're all connected through the Blood of Jesus all over the world. We're truly one family, by Blood. This brother travels and is involved in so many areas of ministry (their family also made a powerful movie based on the same theme as the song you shared).

One of my favorite Christmas hymns! Tori Kelly's voice is perfection. https://youtu.be/nYfk-qHUJOo

THANK YOU, BTJ! I had a surprise in the mail today! This will be a reminder of our global family. 🙏

Today is the day!! Last year has been one of the most fruitful years in the history of our ministry! We have preached to nearly 100,000 people, witnessed about 3300 conversions to Christ and nearly 14,000 total spiritual decisions; and new unprecedented initiatives are being launched among the most unreached of the world. Nearly 1000 Bibles and materials have been distributed in one of the top 5 dangerous countries for Christians… Kingdom Laborers are being raised up and a movement propagated both here and around the world! Will you join us to see more Kingdom Laborers raised up in the year ahead?

There is a $50,000 match for donations made today, Giving Tuesday!!

@Cherishingsparrows2020 Great! There is something special with the lyrics, more than in the average Christmas carol. This verse gives me goosebumps: "Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains He shall break
For the slave is our brother
And in His Name
All oppression shall cease..."

@sinbach indeed it is - so humbled to see him and his faith shining through… BTJ are doing such amazing stuff to meet the needs of the persecuted church, inspired!

Have you ever thought, what a great opportunity Christmas is for saving souls? Not by fancy debate or sermons, but by the power of your testimony.

@tanjaostman @Olamide That’s a very interesting break-down. It sounds like there isn’t much true commitment. Thank you for that info. It sounds like what’s happening in US churches, where there is a growing polarity between “Christians” who don’t believe the Bible and those who do.

One more beautiful day! Soon we can ski. I'm so happy! ⛷🏂❄☃️

This song is not new, but I heard it for the first time yesterday. It is powerful.

"Gilbert was 17 when his father was stabbed 26 times and killed for his faith and ministry in Iran. God transformed the tragedy into a profound testimony when Gilbert forgave the persecutors. Gilbert wrote this song and dedicated it to the ones who caused him to mourn.

@His_story @Olamide Thank you for that comment! And it's a little bit contradicting, since a great majority of the population is (nominal) evangelical Christians. Around 70 % belong to the Lutheran State Church (in the 80s it was 90 %). But it's a very strong tradition with infant baptism, which leads to membership. So most members haven't chosen themselves to become members.

@tanjaostman @Olamide Thank you for posting this. I read it. It is certainly a chilling story for devout and committed Christians of former "Christian nations."

@Olamide Here is an article! I didn't even read it all through or watched the videos, but I think the content is fair. https://thefederalist.com/2021/11/23/in-case-with-global-implications-finland-puts-christians-on-trial-for-their-faith/?fbclid=IwAR03Q_ybBGdHdOwr8iZlwbxWcmvBVNUbWQOkK77kebEBvgIGUT9Ib0r7K4A
