Recent Muslim extremist attacks in an area of central Nigeria resulted in dozens of deaths and the closure of 10 Baptist churches, including one now used as a mosque, a denominational leader said. The attacks in Plateau state's Mangu County by Fulani herdsmen and other terrorists included an assault on one village that killed 24 Christians, said Plateau Baptist Conference President Koeleh Kelvin Saleh. The raids drove 500 church members from 10 villages and resulted in the closure of a Baptist church in each community, he said.

Met apologises after Christian singer was told she couldn't sing church songs on public street2/1/2024  The Metropolitan Police have apologized after a Christian singer was wrongly told that she was not allowed to sing church songs on London's Oxford Street.
Harmonie London, a popular YouTuber with over 300,000 subscribers, was approached by volunteer officer Maya Hadzhipetkova after singing John Newton's Amazing Grace and Goodness of God by Bethel. The 20 year old says the officer threatened to take away her equipment unless she stopped performing. In the shocking encounter captured on video, Ms Hadzhipetkova told the singer that "you're not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds". When London challenged her, the officer stuck her tongue out at the camera. The police are still investigating the incident. In a statement, the Met apologised and clarified that the officer "was mistaken in saying church songs cannot be sung outside of church grounds". "We're sorry for the offence caused and will take the learning forward," it said. The Met claimed that the singer had been approached over busking. "At the heart of this is a specific by-law related to busking. The officer knows she could have handled this differently and is speaking to her manager," it said. London told the Daily Mail she was "sharing the Gospel", not busking. Footage of the encounter uploaded to YouTube has been viewed over 50,000 times. Former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe has called for the officer to be "struck off from the voluntary force". Speaking to GB News, she said: "She really has got the law completely wrong and she was obviously enjoying herself rather too much, trying to boss this woman around. "And there is no basis at all for saying you can't sing. I could walk down the street singing Onward Christian Soldiers and I would be committing no offence at all." Neal McDonough champions Christianity in Hollywood while revolutionizing faith-based film industry1/26/2024

Matthew 10:22–23 Reminds us of the reality of Persecuted Christians around the World.
Matthew 10:22-You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:23-When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray right now for our brothers and sisters, your sons and daughters, our family in these countries. In places in the world where they are being persecuted for their faith in you. God, we pray for your strength for them. We pray for your help for them. Lord, we pray that you would uphold them with your righteous right hand. We pray that you would give them boldness to follow you and to proclaim you even at great costs. God, as we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters and as we pray in our own lives, we say if we’re to be among that number, then we say, yes, Lord, we want to follow you. We want to proclaim you no matter what it costs us in this world. So help us all to do so faithfully all the way to the end. Help us to endure faithfully following you as disciples and making disciples of all the nations. In Jesus’ name we Pray. Amen. The Christmas tree is symbolic of birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tree's branches and shrubs are viewed as an emblem of immortality. The evergreen is the traditional Christmas tree. Its branches and triangular shape point heavenward, and its needles remain “ever green” all year to remind us of eternal life symbolized in the Tree of life. The custom goes back to when Christmas trees were decorated with candles, which symbolized Christ being the light of the world.  |
