A truly disturbing turn of events in Canada with a law banning conversion therapy which has wider scope to punish Christians for reading/teaching from the Bible in public or even in church

Colorado State offers help to anyone "affected by free speech."
This sign offers students 17 resources to help them if they have been affected by free speech.
Universities are treating Free speech as if it is a disease or violence affecting students.
Do not be fooled - the enemy's first attack when he takes over an areas is to stop free speech. Preaching the Gospel and sharing the Word is essential to complete the Great Commission. This is why China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran WILL NOT - CANNOT allow free speech. An attack on free speech is ALWAYS a direct attack on completing the Great Commission, to prolong Satan's time on earth. 😥

@Cherishingsparrows2020 God never seems to lead us to doing things by half measures!!

I'm glad, actually, as it forces us to make lots of changes. Change can be very good!!

It's been really hard to simply stop getting up at 10am, and going to bed past midnight, so we can all be a family as much as possible around Jo's working rhythm.

But God is good!!

Today we all were up by 0730. Even me - since I went on a range of medication after my heart issue, it's been really hard waking up and starting the day.

I didn't exactly jump out of bed, but there also wasn't my usual heavy grogginess I've struggled with this morning - Praise God!!

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter It's my pleasure to pray for the Gypsies/ tent dweller!!

This week, the Afghani Islamic leadership sent out elite troops known as Haqqani on a 'search and destroy' mission to kill any Christian leaders they could find.
Believers remain in hiding, and desperately need our prayers.

Please pray for the 'Gypsies' / Teny dwellers of the world!

@Pablito @Toddkapper Thankyou for remembering our brothers in the Ukraine 🙏

@Toddkapper Lord, please be with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Prepare their hearts, draw them to yourself so that no matter happens on the surface in their life and nation, that a great peace the comes from the heart of Christ to their surrendered heart will be their stabilizing force that keeps their souls calm in the midst of chaos. Impart much wisdom and give them clear minds to know and discern what You know they should do. Thank you. Amén.

Our hot water making machine is keeping us warm. Night time there was electricity with proper voltage to recharge our phones. Parked our vehicle inside a walled campus and visiting places in Motorcycles. Comparitively good village roads.

Heard encouraging stories, how previous teams blessed these tiny churches through various training they imparted.
One young lady had a dream , in which she saw herself acquiring a new skill through the visiting team. Now she uses that income generation skill to support her family and local house church.

Thanks for praying.

If she would be found guilty of charges, that would practically mean that the Bible would be banned in Finland, at least in some parts. You wouldn't be able to stand for God words about how sexuality was created only for a man and a woman in marriage. That would be hate speech and forbidden.
🙏

Please pray for a small team traveling!

WE HAVE TESTED POSITIVE! I've had mild flu symptoms since last Thursday. I took a home test on Fri, that showed negative. I've been working so far this week, but felt tired, and worked shorter days. My husband had fever one night a couple of days ago, but he's been working as well (you don't easily stop him from working, as he has lots of deadlines and meetings). Our son (13 yrs old) has stayed home from school for two days because of symptoms, and last night he got fever. He's still got quite high fever. Tonight my husband wanted to take home tests, and we all three tested positive. None of us are injected with mRNA or have any particular health issues or diagnoses - so our immune systems are probably intact. But please remember us in your prayers anyway - especially Edvin who has fever!

@Berrybunchfamily

Thousands of Italians are in quarantine at home and therefore there are many closed shops.

Restaurants and hotels are empty and risk bankruptcy.

A mask is mandatory on the street and in closed places.

There is a strange atmosphere. People all have sad and worried faces.

There is a campaign of discrimination and denigration against those who are not vaccinated which leads to thinking and saying very unpleasant things against what they call "no vax".

Think that today in Italy those who have done up to the second dose of vaccine are called "no vax". So even those who have been vaccinated but have not taken the last dose are a "no vax".

I have tried to best summarize what is happening but the reality is worse.

Will you lift us up in your prayers. https://backtojerusalem.com/prayers-needed-for-a-dear-sister-and-btj-partner-in-iraq/?fbclid=IwAR3hB3kIvYfUT309KaIoPNyQc9KcbX_4Tz3SZ-dIs-VVHofvGgWSpaVOAD4
