Are you like me and assume that persecution against Christians was worse 2,000 years ago?
that is not what the data shows.
According to a recent report, 2021 saw more Christians martyred for their faith than at ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY!

Let us pray for Ukraine and for Europe.

9 out of 10 millennials are syncretists. Only 28% believe the Bible is the word of God. Almost half prefer socialism vs capitalism. We have lots of work to do! https://www.wnd.com/2022/02/barnas-report-millennials-beliefs-shocking/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=wnd-brief&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=brief&ats_es=%5B-MD5-%5D

Ukraine prayer update message from Pastor Sasha

Hi Todd !
Things seem to escalate quickly here !
In the last 24 hours 3 things at least happened.
1) russia officially recognized those two stolen regions of Luhansk and Donetsk
2) right away they signed a military treaty with them
3) Russian parliament just a few hours ago allowed Putin officially to use his army abroad
This opens him the door for military invasion (
Let’s keep believing God 🙏

BTJ just finished hosting our annual Hackers Conference.
WOW
Just WOW❗
This year we had hackers from all around the world meet up in the Middle East and dream of the newest ways to invade the enemy's territory with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and set the captives free.
This is a Great Day to complete the Great Commission.

Christians' ability to speak biblical truth is at risk in Finland due to an overly broad hate speech provision in Finnish law. In a stunning case, a Christian member of the Finnish parliament, Päivi Räsänen, has been charged by the Finnish prosecutor general with three counts of "ethnic agitation." Each count relates to Räsänen's respectful expression of her widely-held Christian beliefs.

It’s amazing to think that Jesus is alive. That even his words are living. That his words are life. They resonate truth and Justice and the way to live forever. I could never find these words and the life they give me if it wasn’t for Jesus being alive. If it wasn’t for Holy Spirit being sent to me from Jesus himself because he lives I would not live.
Because he lives… I can face tomorrow.
Because he lives all fear is gone.
Because I know he holds the future and life is worth living just because he lives.
So, I live in him forever bound in love and unity with Holy Spirit and embraced as a son of the Father for eternity.
