@MaryMamuzich @Berrybunchfamily now you're speaking my language! Tea and a good book is the dream! 😁
@Berrybunchfamily my family would do more if I let them, but my ideal day is as low key as possible
@Berrybunchfamily thanks Andy!
@Olamide thank you!!

China's hosts Taliban leaders in ancient city of Tianjin.
Why does it matter?

@Berrybunchfamily wow! My brother and my dad actually share a birthday. It's more common than you'd think it seems
@Berrybunchfamily well you are very deserving of the break, that's for sure. Enjoy it!
@Berrybunchfamily it is! Sunday - the day after yours. We very nearly share a birthday 😁
@Berrybunchfamily well then, just in case you're not on here tomorrow, happy birthday!! You and your family are such a blessing to all of us. Have a wonderful day tomorrow 🎉🎊
Wanted to shout out a recent podcast episode from @Cmarquis and Nathan. They highlighted some pretty major statistics:
61% of Christians have never shared their faith
42% of the world still live in unreached people groups
There are 900 churches and 78,000 evangelical Christians for every one unreached people group
51% of church attendees in the US were unfamiliar with the term 'Great Commission'
Here's the podcast if you want to give it a listen: https://forgeforward.org/blog/2021/07/13/episode-84-fresh-god-stories-from-the-field/
@Olamide @Berrybunchfamily 🤣🤦🏻♀️ now I'm going to be SO aware of it
@Olamide @Berrybunchfamily I have no idea where I've picked that up from! 😂 It's far more American than British

@daniel @mensajero I think maybe I did? But I was staring at it for so long I don't know if I just started to imagine tigers...

The flooding in China is crazy!
It is going to impact China in many ways! Many people are missing! Many people have drowned, as most Chinese do not know how to swim. There are people crying out for help to find their loved ones! Entire Farms have been washed away! Apparently millions of livestock have drowned or been basically standing in flood waters unable to eat for days! This will once again create a lack of food! Entire crops gone! Entire livelihoods washed away! We will be looking at price increases for food here once again! At the beginning to Covid they went high but have been slowly coming back down......but this will once again change things!
Chinese Christians are banding together and helping in the most beautiful sacrificial ways! It brings me to tears as I hear reports of brothers and sisters racing to the flood frontlines to help!
this small video is nearby where we live and it is nothing compared to Henan flooding! Our friend sent it....
@MaryMamuzich @Olamide Love that - totally agree. Surely the only way we can have the mind of Christ is if our minds are renewed
@Berrybunchfamily I was sat listening, enjoying what you were saying, and then you started talking about faith into action and then I REALLY enjoyed it 😁 Huge topic covered really well in only a short time. Thought it was great
