In recent days I have had a reader from Saudi Arabia reading my devotionals, which is rare and a total privilege to spiritually support them. I know that being a Christian in Saudi Arabia is dangerous; please join with me in praying for this individual brother/sister.

Only because of the man in the middle
@tymektt Our part of Louisiana was hit the hardest by Ida(190mph gusts recorded). It was probably the strongest hurricane to ever hit Louisiana, but thankfully, no flooding. My house is gutted since 4 windows busted through (shutters and all) and hurricane Ida made herself at home in my house, but we were not nearly as bad as most homes in this area. The people here have come together as usual, and we're moving forward. I've seen GOD's beauty every day since the storm. He's truly near to the broken-hearted.
Tears fall. Today was already hard for many reasons. But tonight I saw this picture and tears fell like a silent waterfall.
This is little YuanHao. He was a precious little baby who was born with anal atresia ( no opening). He was cruelly brought to the brink of death 3 times before we got the phone call asking if we would care for him! In this picture he is almost a year old. When we got him he only weighed 6.5 lbs at 9 months of age. With love and care he learned to smile, and even laugh.
We got the blessing of loving him until he went to heaven due to internal organ failure.
It’s amazing how there is always a place in our hearts for each child we care for that will never go away.
🌹And can still bring tears🌹
See the before picture and after:
sometimes when we think of slavery and human trafficking, we think of the problem of other nations, when the fact is, it's happening in our own backyard

Do you think the cultural war against gender is new?
NO! the Communist Party in China launched massive campaigns saying that there were NO differences between men and women in the 1950s. It was ALL just a social construct of the male patriarchy.
Sound familiar?
When this ideology was embraced in China, the results were deadly

Here in ancient Babylon, it hits me why the Tower of Babel NOT ONLY went against God's first command, BUT was a pre-emptive strike against the Great Commission.

Few even notice, but the negative impact on Christian missionaries from this new proposal is H-U-G-E.

Great food, GREAT people 🙌🏼
(this is what happens when you let @sinbach order for the table... so. much. food)
Visiting brick factory workers (slaves) in Pakistan. Injustice is happening here at an unimaginable scale. Most of the slaves are Christians, but more and more Muslims fall into the trap of lawless debts and finally land in the factories for a lifetime. This is a huge picture with many details. It is also an opportunity to reach Muslim community in the brick factories with the delivering message of the Gospel. We are praying to hear from God, how to address those two needs (need for Gospel and need for social justice) in a practical and effective way.
