True revival is followed by reformation, and true repentance is followed by life change. Things like this take place in the midst of a true move of God. Not just a good sermon, not just a spiritual high, but these are real lives being changed. Anonymous

When Mother Teresa was asked how someone might pray for her, she asked that person to pray that she would not get in the way of what God wanted to do. Move through life with that consciousness, acting with God's love but not getting in the way of what God wants to do.

think out of the box, speak out, criticize if necessary, dream . . . but more important: create what you wish existed

Over the past decade, Nigeria has become one of the most dangerous places on earth for Christians. According to the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, more than 125,000 Christians have been murdered, 19,000 churches destroyed, and over 1,000 Christian communities wiped out. The killers are largely jihadist groups such as Boko Haram and Fulani militias, driven by an Islamist ideology that seeks to eradicate Christianity from vast regions of the country. Rather than confronting this violence, Western governments have looked the other way. Under Obama and later Biden, U.S. policy consistently downplayed the religious dimension of the massacres, framing them instead as local disputes or security issues. This gave cover for leaders like Muhammadu Buhari—who came to power with Washington’s support—to preside over years of escalating bloodshed. The result has been catastrophic. Entire Christian villages have been burned, families slaughtered, and survivors driven from their ancestral lands. The systematic destruction of Nigeria’s Christian population has been buried in silence. What is happening in Nigeria is not random violence—it is a campaign of terror and displacement rooted in religious hostility. The international community may refuse to name it, but the numbers speak for themselves: a modern-day genocide that has already claimed more than 100,000 Christian lives.

Christians in Libya are facing harsh persecution under Islamic authorities, with 11 believers — 10 Libyans and one Pakistani — sentenced to 3–15 years in prison for charges like “insulting Islam” and “promoting Christianity.” Amnesty International condemned the convictions as grossly unfair, citing forced confessions, denial of legal representation, and fabricated charges. The group was arrested by Libya’s Internal Security Agency (ISA) in March 2023, accused of proselytizing. Many were tortured, held in solitary confinement, and denied contact with family. Their confessions, extracted under duress, were broadcast publicly, violating legal norms. Families report sudden, warrantless arrests. One woman’s husband disappeared days before Easter; her daughter now prays daily for his return. Though Libyan law doesn’t ban promoting Christianity, authorities continue to prosecute believers under sharia-based apostasy laws — ignoring a 2020 ruling nullifying the death penalty for apostasy. Libya ranks 4th on Open Doors’ 2025 World Watch List for Christian persecution. Amnesty is calling for the immediate release of all jailed for their faith and investigations into ISA abuses.

@OUTASA @CETASkillsDev @ServiceSETA @ButiManamela It is now time for businesses and employers who are paying billions towards skills development levies to make their voices heard. If you don't, you are part of the problem. Youth unemployment = 62%. STAND UP like the brave #whistleblowers! #EffectiveCivilIntervention

@ChristianEedes Prieska mah bruh! Love what Bertie is doing there

Name me a more bonkers-cool wine in South Africa.

R100 gives me 42.10 units of electricity. We live in the country of "one man one vote." I would like to see a future of "one rand one unit." Perhaps even "one rand one liter" at the fuel station. ✊️ @Our_DA @WesternCapeDA @Eskom_SA
