When after the First World War the first mass vaccination campaign began in South Africa, the AFM (the Mission of the Apostolic Faith), a Pentecostal denomination founded in 1908 (but legally recognized in 1913) by the American Pentecostal preacher John Graham Lake (together with the collaborator Thomas Hezmalhach), who knew William Seymour personally and had been to the Azusa Street Apostolic Faith Mission in Los Angeles, was an important member of the National Anti Vaccination League (see AFM Executive Committee Minutes 1915-20, entry for 28 July 1920; in Barry Morton, Engenas Lekganyane and the Early ZCC: An Unauthorized History, 2018, p. 96,219).

@tanjaostman Thanks for your prayers. God bless you.
Continues here: In September our government will discuss the covid passport. Mrs Henriksson, has been pushing in this direction. I wrote very kindly to her, for instance “we are many parents that are very worried about giving vaccines to 12-year-old children, as there are documented risks, like heart inflammations… it’s vaccine (Pfeizer) that is not even approved yet… I hope that our society won’t discriminate people [the passports] who choose not to have the vaccine… There are many highly educated people I know that are skeptical, but keep a low profile about their opinions, since they risk to be discriminated or bullied."
I am so sick and tired of all this. I belong to a minority (even among Christians), who is not vaccinated. Of course, I believe the virus is for real, but there are bigger things going on in our world in the political arena. Some days I feel low, exhausted, anxious and frustrated. We need to pray for and encourage one another!

I agree with you. God bless you.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
Heavenly Father,
make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
In Jesus' name. Amen.

In Ravello there are beautiful gardens from where you can look at the sea.
@MaryMamuzich
It is one of the most enchanting places on the Amalfi coast. It's called Ravello.
My wife and I are in CHRIST JESUS and HE's been our guide for many years through many dark times. Most of which are our own doing. Our adult daughter has cancer and is terminal. She loves THE LORD YSHUA and knows where she is going when HE calls her home. Our youngest son is severely mentally ill and is hospitalized at the writing of this message. All we are asking is for GOD's mercy and grace to be poured out upon our two children fighting for their lives. Please pray for Christina and Christopher.
1 Peter 1:7 NLT
These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
I am a Christian saved by the grace of God.
My mission is to evangelize and disciple according to the "Great Commission" of Jesus Christ.
I am married to a woman of God who is a truly gift from God, and together we serve the Lord.
For over twenty years I have been engaged in preaching the gospel and teaching the Holy Scriptures in Italy.
