"At present the nations are heavily armed and are inventing weapons more and more terrible, as if the chief end of man could only be answered by destroying myriads of his fellows. Yet peace will prevail one day.
How will this come about? By trade? By civilization? By arbitration? Peace will be established only by the reign of the Prince of Peace. He must teach the people by His Spirit, renew their hearts by His grace, and reign over them by His supreme power, and then will they cease to wound and kill.
Man is a monster and only the Lord Jesus can turn a lion into a lamb. By changing man’s heart, his bloodthirsty passions are removed. Pray that the Giver of Peace would speedily put an end to war and establish concord over the whole world.”
- Charles Spurgeon (1887)

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!

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 🙏
Wars and rumors of wars in our world today.

I haven't heard this song for so long. I was so struck by the truth of the words again when we sang it at church this morning.
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

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.
Those joining us in prayer for the nation of Iran need to be aware that Honor Killings are a massive problem.
