The Grace of God is always near to His people. In spite of persecution globally on Christians, there are miracles, signs, and wonders that still happened in the name of Jesus Christ. Although many are the suffering's of the persecuted church worldwide, as Christ told us "If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you." No doubt if the Lords own people hated Him and persecuted Him, they of the global societies will also persecute #Christianbelievers. America has been one of the only nations that Christians can live in peace, yet a day is coming of #judgment, trial, and persecution. The #persecutionofChristians #globally is a window into what will befall #America and other #freenations unless we see #globalrevival and #multitudes coming to #ChristJesus. It cannot be any other way. We also look at Colossians chapter one, verses five through six saying "For the #hope which is laid up for you in #heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the #gospel; (6) Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the #graceofGod in #truth."

Welcome your listen to the WIBR Warren Radio website and ministries.
This is our advocacy for the persecuted church. I'm the
Watchman and with me is Tower and upfront We're going
(05:48):
to be doing a special section where we bring you
an article that is on our websites, and we talk
about it, tell you about it, remind you to go
visit this week. The Word of the Lord. Now this
is a series I did some time ago, and this
(06:12):
is part fourteen. We're talking about the Word of the Lord.
Hope and faith brings us to part fourteen in our series.
The Word of the Lord in the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I love that verse. Yes. And of course when we
(06:36):
talk about these, I write a little bit of stuff
about it, because we post these not only on our websites,
but we put these little excerpts on various websites, like,
(07:05):
for instance X and this particular one. It was that
Word who became the savior of the world. We find
in his sufferings and atonement, the penality of the Cross,
(07:26):
with the shed blood of Christ, and with our faith
and hope in Jesus Christ. We are overcomers, for it
is written in Revelation chapter twelve and verse eleven. We
overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of
our testimony, moony, and we loved not our lives unto
(07:47):
the death. All of this is our foundation of hope,
faith and the truth of our Lord and Savior that
our God and Father sent to die on Calvary for
the sins of mankind. And in this particular article we
will look into the Word of God find relevant truth
(08:08):
from God's Word on the hope and faith we have
and the delivering power we have access to. Hope and
faith is possible today because our Savior, Jesus Christ is
Shua the Christ, came from glory and was born in
the flesh. Yet he was all God and all men
(08:30):
and man, and he was the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
For he was and is the passover Lamb that shed
his blood for all humanity. Without the shedding of his
blood and the perfect atonement sacrifice could not have been made. Thus,
(08:51):
our sinful state is finished. Because the atonement and the
shedding of the blood of Christ Jesus and our faith
in him, our separation from God is finished. For Christ
Jesus is that bridge which brought us into the Father's
glory to know him. The power of darkness over us
(09:13):
is finished as well. In addition, the power of death
and the grave hold nothing over believers in Jesus Christ.
In the battle for truth and life and redemption, we
as Christian followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, can fight
the enemy and wind darkness holds no power over us
(09:35):
because of the redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ, Yesua.
That's our hope and faith. Amen in Collasions one twenty three.
If you continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and
be not move away from the hope of the Gospel
(09:56):
which you have heard and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven, whereof I Paul Am made
a minister. Now we put the whole context in this
particular thing when we do them, so when you're listening
you will hear the full thing. But it's one of
(10:19):
those things with all of our posts, and we have
over twenty five years, well over twenty five years of
teachings just like this one, and when we put them up,
we just don't put the audio. I write a full article,
(10:43):
almost a little bit short of a regular article that
I write, but it's you know, three times as much
as anybody else does on their podcast, Faith and Hope.
And so this is the Word of the Lord. Part fourteen,
(11:08):
Hope and Faith. It's a series, and this series is
by myself, the Watchman Danas Smith and Tower who is
co host. We are the wibr Warren Radio websites and
ministries and in depth biblical teaching, preaching and warning agency
(11:29):
in these last days, and we use key kjav and
so the Word of the Lord, Hope and faith Part fourteen.
Okay Tewer. We are in our satellite ministry. You know,
(11:58):
Tower and I were on shortwave and we were also
on satellite before we did this, which is send it
through the internet globally. And so this is SAT set
(12:20):
was a long time ago. It was We've been doing
this a long time. And so the thing about SAT
seven it is a regular satellite, it's a Christian satellite ministry,
and we like to tell you about these ministries. You
can go to SAT dash seven dot org. And the
(12:45):
reason I tell you that is I'd like you to
visit that website, look on it over and if you
if you can donate something to them to help them
reach believers and even unbelievers who listen around the world.
(13:06):
And SAT seven's programs are helping parents in the Middle
East and North Africa. We call that Mina e Anda
and they learn how to raise their children with love
and wisdom. They also have talk shows, workshops, viewers, support services,
(13:28):
and their meeting with parents where they aren't providing guidance
from a biblical perspective. One program on SAT seven Arabic
called ADHD Podcast is ministering to parents with children who
have attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. And someone who has
(13:57):
listened and that she was writing from Lebanon, said thank
you for the wonderful program. It felt like someone was
speaking on my behalf. The Sat seven Turk program Parents
(14:17):
Are Asking Now in its fourth season, addresses a wide
range of parenting questions while taking a creative problem solving approach.
Other programs appeared specifically towards Christian families and it goes
(14:41):
out of course. On SAT seven and SAT seven pars
a program raising little hearts that's encouraging for the Yeah
it is. And a man from a Psalm, a man
named a Som from Egypt. Now all these names are
not the real names. We don't share anybody's real name
(15:06):
participated in one of their parenting workshops and he said,
I learned to respect my son's opinion, listen to him
and give him love and attention.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah it is. We are grateful SAT seven is helping
build strong bonds between family members and giving parents the
tools to overcome modern challenges. Thank you for your support.
You are providing parents with culturally relevant and biblically centered
(15:38):
television programs and digital media. And that's the kind of
a ministry you want to donate to, right So check
it out at sat dash seven dot org and find
out how you can help them reach others. And thank
(16:00):
you for that.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Okay, this is an exciting story, saved and I know it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
There's no doubt that an incredible spiritual movement is taking
shape in America. From college campuses to beaches on both
coasts and evangelical outreaches in small towns, there is evidence
that the spirit of God is moving as people give
their lives to Jesus Christ. This phenomenon is also going
(16:37):
on behind bars, including the sum NERD County Jail in Gatland, Tennessee,
where one hundred and seventy inmates were baptized last weekend,
according to WTFB TV. Now, this story does come to
us from CBN News, and men and women waited patiently
(17:00):
for their turn inside the small jail to publicly declare
the change that had taken place in their hearts a
new found relationship with Jesus Christ. Here at the Sumner
County Jail, something very unique is happening, involving dozens and
dozens of inmates hoping to change their lives. Jerry Scott,
(17:22):
the jail administrator, told the outlet Long Hollow Church and
First Baptist Church of Hendersonville worked closely with jail staff
to baptize inmates periodically throughout the year. Last weekend's event
became the largest they had seen. Some of the inmates
(17:45):
will be leaving the jail soon, fulfilling time served for
their crimes they've committed, yet the baptism serves as a
fresh start. This is a day they can remember that.
It's something about baptism they don't forget, said Chaplain Bruce
Riley with First Baptist Hendersonville. It's really them committing to live,
(18:10):
to follow Jesus and not come back. It's a bold statement.
Danny Spaino with Long Hollow Church added. One female inmate
shared with what the baptisms represent. We get a new
beginning and a new start and live a better life,
she said. And you can read more on by going
(18:33):
to CPN dot com. And look for the story one
hundred and seventy inmates received fresh start baptized.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That's cool, that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Is awesome, Thank God.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
It is the next one. Muslim's coming to Christ. You know,
we get a lot of Muslims in America, we have
a lot of them. But these Muslims are coming to
change America. But you see the problem with America. Many
(19:12):
Americans do not have the faith of Christ. America's back
sliden and has been back slidden for a long time.
But yet Muslims are coming to Christ. And so in
spite of everything, then we ask what is driving this shift?
(19:36):
Why are so many Muslims embrace Jesus Christ and leaving
behind their Muslim faith? And I know of current ministries
that are Muslim preaching Christ. And I've known personally Muslims
who became Christians. And this has been going on for
(19:58):
a long time. Not reason, I mean, it's you know,
Muslims have come to Christ because they want the truth.
At the heart of the conversions is the deep desire
for a personal relationship with God, and Christianity teaches that
(20:24):
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, offers salvation internal life
to all who believe in him. That's why I came
to the Lord a repented of my sin. So did
Tower a personal relationship. For many Muslims, the message of grace,
(20:50):
God's grace forgiveness and love is incredibly compelling. Now the
love is demonstrated. When you start following the Lord, you
will know his love if you're serious. In Islam, there's
(21:13):
a strong emphasis on works, laws, and obedience. While these
are important values, some Muslims who convert to Christianity find
a sense of freedom and peace and knowing that they
don't have to earn God's love. It's already freely given, folks,
(21:33):
according to Ephesians two eight, for tis by grace, you
have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves.
It is the gift of God. And One unique aspect
of Muslims converting to Christianity is a number of stories
involving personal counters or dreams. Many Christian converts from Islam
(21:58):
share testimony of having dreams or visions of Jesus leading
them to faith. These experiences often serves the catalysts for
their decision to accept Jesus in following him.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, that is cool, it is it is cool.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
For instance, numerous accounts describe how Jesus appeared to individuals
and dreams, offering comfort or guidance, and these dreams, Muslims
say they felt a powerful connection to Christ will jultimately
lead them to conversion. The spiritual experience provides a profound
(22:40):
and personal reason for many to leave their Muslim faith
and embrace Christianity. Although converting from Islam to Christianity can
be dangerous, sometimes even punishable by death under Islamic law,
it hasn't stopped the spread of Christianity in Muslim majority
(23:03):
countries from the Middle East to Central Asia. Christian ministries
have been working tirelessly to share the message of Jesus.
This has led to an increase in conversions from Islam
in surprising places. For example, a report from Duayanne, Alexander Miller,
(23:28):
and Patrick Johnson estimates there were ten million Muslim background
baptisms in twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That's great in places where Muslim faith is dominant. These
conversions represent a significant shift in the religious landscape. Despite
the appeal of Christianity, converting from Islam, of course, is
not without risk. In many Muslim majority countries, leaving Islam
(24:03):
for another religion is seen as an act of apacity
apostasy and can carry severe consequences. Some countries impose the
death penalty for those who reject Islam, and in many
places Christian converts face persecution from their families, communities, in government.
(24:30):
A Muslim who converted to Christianity in a country like
Iran or Saudi Arabia may face intense social pressure, imprisonment,
or worse. Islamic law or shariahs enforced in several Muslim
countries where religious freedom is severely restricted. Despite these dangers,
(24:53):
millions of Muslims are still deciding to follow Jesus, often
at great personal costs. And Luke nine twenty three, Jesus
said this, if anyone would come after me, let him
deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.
And this resonates deeply with Christian converts from the Muslim
(25:17):
world who face persecution for their faith. You know these
are This particular article is from Global Christian Relief dot org.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Isn't that amazing? Ten million?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
It is Muslims with a Muslim backgroundtism see baptisms.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
See You can go to Global Christian Relief dot org
to find out more about how you can help persecuted Christians,
and also be sure to donate to global Christian relief. Today,
our next story comes out of Nigeria. Nigeria remains the
(26:14):
epicenter of Christian persecution worldwide, and that's true, and we've
covered it a lot. Over fifty thousand believers killed for
their faith, more than two million displaced, Yet the faith
of these Christians stands unshaken. So be sure to pray
(26:39):
for the believers in Nigeria, be sure to stand with
them in prayer, and also donate. And we'll tell you
this one who it's from and where you can help out. See,
there was a story about Mary who carried her wounded
(27:01):
son up a mountain after militant shot him, surviving for
three months with only herbs for medicine. There was Elizabeth,
who disguised her son as a girl to prevent Bocoham
from taking him, and then buried another child with her
bare hands after escaping. And then there was Tabitha, who
(27:25):
chose Christ when Terris pointed a gun in her head,
saying I knew I'd rather die with Jesus than die
in sin.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Then there is.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Saffor two. He she crawled for a week after extremists
killed her unborn Child's horrified. These are not just Christians,
(28:01):
They're are persecuted family and we want to support them.
And be sure to take this opportunity to stand with
the Christians in Nigeria Pastor Emmanuel who has suffered at
(28:29):
the hands of these Their intention is to wipe us out,
but it's not possible. They can't do it never.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Be sure we have read this message to you, coming
directly from ministries, and be sure to sing your most
generous gift to Global Christian Relief dot org Global Christian
(29:09):
Relief dot org. Our brothers and sisters in Nigeria especially
are counting on help. Be one of those who help
them and pray for the brothers and sisters in Nigeria.
Remember the scripture says, let us not become weary and
(29:31):
well doing, for at the proper time, we will reap
a harvest if we do not give up. My heart
goes out to these orth and I mean, they really
have suffered a lot, the believers in Nigeria. It's hard
(29:52):
to believe.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
And you know, we don't understand that what they're going through.
We hear the stories. We feel terrible that they're doing that,
that they're going through that. Okay, this is our June
prayer force for June twenty third through the thirtieth. Jesus
(30:18):
help those who have been persecuted to forgive. Regarding her persecutors,
Esther admitted I would have killed them if possible. She
received spiritual care and is now able to forgive them
and forgive us our debts as we have forgiven.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Our debtors Matthew six point twelve.
Speaker 2 (30:50):

of perilous times. The Rising is a story of deliverance, faith, power,
and the inner struggle within as an evil engulfs all
those who face it. So be it sure to get

(31:43):
and this comes to us from Open Doors us dot org.
Your brother is in heaven now with God. I told
my two children whom they when they ask about their
older brother. These are the words of Pa Yang or Peyang,
(32:06):
and her name has been changed. A young mother in
her late twenties from Northern Laos. She tragically lost her
eldest son after he consumed a poisoned drink. It was
later discovered that Payang's Payang's relatives had hired someone to
facilitate his death. They wanted to punish Pa Yang and
(32:29):
her husband Lovee for becoming Christians. Payang and her family
live in a village along a winding road in the
mountains of Northern Laos. The landscape is breathtaking. Green trees,
fluffy clouds, and traditional houses dot the area, almost making
(32:51):
up for the terrifying journey along steep cliffs. Poyang and
le V became Christians in twenty twenty, along with a
few other families in the community. Since then, they have
been persecuted many times by local villagers. The villagers had
(33:13):
tried to expel the family from the community and created
an environment where the Christian family was discriminated against. Their
neighbors and community kept trying different ways to force the
family to renounce their faith, but Levee and Payang never
gave up. This year, however, the persecution took a painful turn.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
This time.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
It began with a land conflict between my wife's relatives
and me, Levy said, excuse me. They wanted to take
over a piece of land that belonged to me. When
I refused to give up the law land, they became
angry and started looking for revenge. As he speaks, Payang
(33:58):
sits beside him, staring into the distance. She knows what
happens next in their story. A few days after the
conflict over the land, Levie and Poyang were working in
the fields when they were urgently summoned by their neighbors.
They hurried home only to find their three kids lying
(34:20):
ill on the floor. They rushed them to the district hospital,
but seeing the state of the children, the doctor referred
them to a larger hospital. When they arrived, the younger
two were comatose. Tragically the older the oldest didn't survive.
The doctor was able to save our two younger kids,
(34:41):
Levy said, almost whispering. I spent a few days in
the hospital for the treatment of my children. However, the
cost of the treatment was very high and I had
no money. When we then decided to leave the hospital sooner,
even while the doctors were asking us not to as
the kids needed more hospital care.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
We returned home.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Though our kids were better, they were still weak and
needed constant care from us. It was very tough. We
were still mourning for our eldest son who passed away
so suddenly, and I had to take care of my
other kids. The couple believed the villagers, especially Pa Yang's relatives,
(35:29):
who had argued with Levy, was behind all this. Later
more investigation confirmed their suspicions. Pa Yang's relatives had hired
someone to sneak into the house and add poison to
a drink. The poison was meant for the for the
for everyone in the family, especially for Levee and Payang. However,
(35:52):
the children.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Got to it first.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
My relatives perhaps thought no one would help us in
this situation and we would beside and we would backslide
from our faith. But they are wrong, Payang shares resolutely.
She stopped for a few minutes. She stopped for a moment,
her eyes moist with tears, and says, I am sad
(36:15):
to lose my son, but I believe, and I know
that my son is sitting with Jesus in heaven.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I believe it too, Yeah, Levie added, even if there
is more persecution, we will continue believing in Jesus. We
will walk faithfully with the Lord, even if we are
the only ones doing it. In the midst of their pain,
the family clings to scripture. My encouragement comes from the
(36:44):
story of Job in the Bible of He says he
faced many tests and lost almost everything, but the Lord
delivered him in the end. And I believe the Lord
will always save us like he saved Job. And because
of open doors help, I was able to pay the
hospital bills for the children. Through the help of many Christians,
(37:09):
including the believers in the area. We are helping the
family with follow up treatment for the children so that
they get entirely well. LEVI as ask us to pray
for them as they seek justice and direction. Please pray
for our case in the court against the people who
(37:30):
killed our child. Pray that the justice system is fair
to us. Pray that the perpetrators do not find ways
to harm us more if they are released. I am sure,
almost unsure if God wants us to stay in the
same village or look for a new place. Pray the
Lord's leading us and making the right decision. He also
(37:55):
asked us to pray for the persecutors. I believe that
the people who plan to kill or harm us for
any reason can open their hearts to see God's mercy
and love if we pray for them. So please pray
for them and go to Open Doorsus dot org to
donate and find out how you can help persecuted brothers
(38:19):
and sisters.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
And now back to you.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
That's such a good story.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
It is.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's tragic, but it's a good story. It should encourage
people going through a hard time. Never give up.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Well, you know, Lord, when people pass on, Yeah, they're
was the Lord. The apostle Paul said, you know, if
you're absent from the body, you're present with the Lord. Yes, period.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
The next one is on Syria from Mission Network News,
but it also high another organization which is Horizons International
dot org. It was founded by Georges Housni or Housney,
(39:13):
and he was raised in the predominantly Muslim city of Tripoli, Lebanon.
He came to faith in Jesus Christ as a teenager,
and soon God grew a deep love for Muslims in
his heart, and he began to sense God's call for
full time service among them.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
And this is about the Allow Whites in Syria, and
they were the ones that were favored under assad. Of
course he's no longer there, but now they faced violence,
displacement and deep need. Many of these ala Whites, which
(40:03):
is a Shia offshoot, are open to the Gospel like
never before. The ala Whites is a religious minority in Syria.
They revere Ali Ali or Ali the son in law
(40:23):
of the prophet Mohammed. They believe in reincarnation and teach
that women are excluded from heaven. Boy, I wouldn't do
very good for the women. That's an all a white.
But the you know, the thing of it is Christianity
(40:46):
does teach that men and women, their children can call
upon the name of the Lord, and if they die
or when they die, they all have a home in
heaven with the Lord. And today many are eager to
know Jesus, says their savior. Well, it has some good points.
(41:09):
And Pierre Huzni, which is from Horizons International, says of
the Alowites, they're so curious about the Gospel we're praying
with them, we're preaching to them, and they're very, very
open to the message. So this is a huge gospel
(41:31):
opportunity as well as a humanitarian crisis. During his time
and power, Siria's former president Bashar Alissad, who is an Alowite,
granted his people unperadvantages in jobs and education. Now that
he's gone, public anger has turned against them. The crisis
(41:54):
intensified when Sunni militant groups entered Alowhite majority areas often
shared with Christian communities and began massacring residents. Now they're
just getting down trodden and massacred and driven out, he said.
Fleeing for their lives, many Aloites escape to Lebanon with
(42:19):
nothing but the clothes on their backs. Some have taken
shelter and graveyards, facing desperate conditions, with no clear plan
or hope of returning home anytime soon. Local ministries are
doing what they can, but resources are limited. The most
urgent needs are food and hygiene supplies. As quickly as
(42:43):
we can, as sustainably as we can. We try to
run the race for the gospel, meet the people in
their time and need, which also often coincides at their
time of spiritual openness. Yeah, I Alowhite repugees in Lebanon
often fall off the global radar, but their needs are real.
(43:06):
Among them are both new believers and sincere seekers of truth.
Now you can help the Alowites in their search for
Christ and you can visit Horizons International website to join
(43:29):
their mission of offering both physical and spiritual help. Now
the Alohites now see this one here. This article came
out of Mission Network News who talked about both the
Alowites and Horizons International dot org. So if you're interested
(43:54):
in this, go to Horizons International dot org and they
will have more information there. You can also contact him
through the contact page to find out what it's like.
It's really dangerous. When you get overseas and you know
the people that work in this kind of stuff, they
(44:16):
can tell you what you need to know. Now we're
in Indonesia. Now. This one is about an eighty eight
year old Christian boy. An eight year old, Yeah, eight
(44:38):
year old that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Sounded like eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
I know eight year old Christian boy who died after
an assault. They wouldn't leave him alone. And so this
young boy eight years old again in Indonesia. He died
from a rupture to pendix and days after an old,
(45:05):
older Muslim student beat him so severely he required hospital treatment.
Is well, they were intended that, yeah, they were intending
to beat him to death. They did. It was unclear
whether the beating of second grade student. I can't even
read his name, but he was in a village and
(45:32):
was on May nineteenth, and there was four or five
Muslim fifth graders who beat him and ruptured his kidney
and that's what killed him. And you got to watch
your children over there. And most of these, you know,
have to go to the school that they you know,
(45:56):
for all of them, and you'll find both Muslim and
Christians there. And this young boy paid with his life.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
And they did an autopsy and they found several bruises
on a stomach and thighs caused by blunt force trauma.
And they concluded that he died from an adominal cavity
infection due to a ruptured appendix. And that was in
(46:29):
Indonesia's and Terra News agency. We also found a leak
in the right abdomen area, a police offer identified as
super Yanto. The cause of death was an abdominal cavity
(46:50):
infection due to a ruptured appendix. His father said his
son had been bullied due to his ethnicity and Christian faith.
A week before, he had been bullied a lot the
perpetrator speak about his ethnicity is religion, and it happened
(47:10):
before he got sick. The bullying reached its peak on
May nineteenth, when the older students gave his bicycle a
flat tire and beat him. That night, Chris had a
high fever, back pain, and lower obdemum was swollen. Wow
(47:34):
Five seniors, ages eleven to thirteen beat him, and so
As reported to the state elementary school and they contacted
his homeroom teacher and complained about the swelling and severe pain,
(48:00):
and the school principle identified is summoned as Sutarno. Some
of the assailants and their parents to a mediation meeting
with Chris's parents, in which the older students admitted to
hitting him. They acknowledged that they had assaulted my son,
(48:25):
but he, you know, his condition was deteriorating, so they
had to take him. An autopsy showed violence on his body,
bruises on his lower left abdomen, upper leg, front side
and blood in his stomach, and blood was also found
(48:46):
in the fatty tissue under the skin in the stomach area.
And the parents of the bullies attended his burial along
with several from the related schools. You know, I don't
care where they're from.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
It's horrible.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
They dad should have never been allowed to continue and
go on.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
You know, it should have never been allowed. But you
know the fact of it is it is allowed.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Well, even the parents of the boys attended the burial.
I wonder what they did with their children that were
the bullies and responsible for the death.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Of this life.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Well, I doubt they did anything because the article doesn't say.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
You know, that's so tragic. I pray for that family.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
But we find the kids. A lot of these Christians
are targeted, and it just it's gut rinching because the
parents lose their and I've seen parents lose their older
boys on numerous occasions. In these reports, these older kids
(50:08):
are targeted. You know, it just you know, there is
justice in the world, but it's in the Kingdom that's coming,
and the Lord will bring justice. You can be guaranteed
(50:29):
of that.
Speaker 3 (50:30):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
Okay, Tower Children, Chilter of Peace This is uh.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
Brought to us.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
From via SAT sven USA dot org. This is shelter
of peace for children in Iran. I am from Morocco.
I'm nineteen years old. Though many people surround me, I
have no one to talk to you. I'm so grateful
to the Lord for your help and advice. God bless you.
(51:05):
These are story or little messages from people that are
benefiting from the SAT seven satellite ministries.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
And another one, I want to ask you to pray
for me.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
And this was when Trump bombed Iran.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
I want to ask you to pray for me.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Last night, five or six missiles flew right over our heads.
Since then, I haven't been able to sleep at all.
I was so scared.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
We keep reading this verse.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
I will not die, but live and will proclaim what
the Lord has done.
Speaker 3 (51:48):
So I'm one eighteen seventeen and that.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Is from Serena and she's aged ten from Iran.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
And this is where you can also understand that they
get these scriptures. There's a lot of them are provided
with audio Bibles from a lot of these ministries. So
they listened to SAT seven and they could also SAT
seven does a lot of stuff with the scripture with
(52:16):
these kids. So she's ten towers, so she knew this.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah, it's sad for them to have to go through this.
So prayers and messages from children and Iran have been
flooding into SAT seven's Persian channel as a conflict with
Israel intensifies. SAT seven Pars went live on satellite and
social media yesterday, which was well last week June seventeenth
(52:47):
with a special episode of Church for Kids, which focuses
on helping young viewers manage their emotions during times of crisis,
featured many calls and messages from children and Iran in
response to the current situation. One viewer described Church for
(53:09):
Kids like a shelter full of peace, while another said,
thank you for being by our side and praying for us.
This gives us hope.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yes, it is a many Church for Kids viewers shared
with presenter Miriam how they are feeling fearful and concerned
for loved ones that they have been unable to sleep.
Excuse me, it's really beyond words. Not knowing when when
you close your eyes at night, if you'll live to
(53:42):
see the sunrise, Worrying about your loved ones, not knowing
if they are safe, or not, and that's from Nigar
age ten. But many also express their faith in God
and commit their country to Him. In prayer, Mary Am
age nine, prayed, God, I pray for my beloved Iran,
(54:08):
a wounded land but full of hope amid war, pain
and tears. You are our only hope, Comfort the broken hearts,
hear the cries, and shine your light from heaven upon
our land. That girl is nine years old. She sounds
very wise and.
Speaker 1 (54:27):
That's isn't that a great prayer? It is prayer?
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Yes, and that's amazing prayer for you know, age nine. Yeah,
And speaking after the broadcast, Church for Kids, presenter Marian said,
what hurts my heart the most is thinking of the
children and young people in Iran witnessing violence, fear, and loss,
(54:55):
but they still hold onto hope and on to God
in the the difficult times. These children remind us of
the power of prayer and faith. We believe that no
matter how dark things seem, God's light.
Speaker 3 (55:09):
Will break through.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (55:17):
There's lots of stories that they've encouraged the people. Haniel said,
I have been feeling a lot of different emotions these days.
I feel fear, I feel weary, worry. I feel worry
and sometimes sadness comes over me. But I also feel
that these hard times are a kind of opportunity, a
(55:39):
chance for us to get to know God better and
trust him more. In times like these, we can have
faith in God and be sure that He is taking
care of us.
Speaker 1 (55:49):
Don't they sound mature?
Speaker 3 (55:51):
They do.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
God health these in Jesus name.
Speaker 3 (55:58):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
So they also provide advice for parents on how they
can support their children during such times.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
And it's.
Speaker 2 (56:13):
They have. They've gone live with four special programs throughout
the day offering prayerers support to viewers in Iran. After
the first night of airstrikes.
Speaker 1 (56:25):
Yeah, well, thank god they're over with.
Speaker 3 (56:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
Please pray give thanks that the Lord rules over the
nations and pray for his peace and justice to prevail
in this distressing situation for all those in Iran and
the Holy Land, especially the children who are feeling afraid
and are unable to sleep. May they experience the Lord's
peace and protection. Amen, and pray for to Okay, and
(56:53):
pray for Sat seven.
Speaker 1 (56:56):

Welcome your listen to the WIBR Warren Radio website and ministries.
This is our advocacy for the persecuted church. I'm the
Watchman and with me is Tower and upfront We're going
(05:48):
to be doing a special section where we bring you
an article that is on our websites, and we talk
about it, tell you about it, remind you to go
visit this week. The Word of the Lord. Now this
is a series I did some time ago, and this
(06:12):
is part fourteen. We're talking about the Word of the Lord.
Hope and faith brings us to part fourteen in our series.
The Word of the Lord in the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I love that verse. Yes. And of course when we
(06:36):
talk about these, I write a little bit of stuff
about it, because we post these not only on our websites,
but we put these little excerpts on various websites, like,
(07:05):
for instance X and this particular one. It was that
Word who became the savior of the world. We find
in his sufferings and atonement, the penality of the Cross,
(07:26):
with the shed blood of Christ, and with our faith
and hope in Jesus Christ. We are overcomers, for it
is written in Revelation chapter twelve and verse eleven. We
overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of
our testimony, moony, and we loved not our lives unto
(07:47):
the death. All of this is our foundation of hope,
faith and the truth of our Lord and Savior that
our God and Father sent to die on Calvary for
the sins of mankind. And in this particular article we
will look into the Word of God find relevant truth
(08:08):
from God's Word on the hope and faith we have
and the delivering power we have access to. Hope and
faith is possible today because our Savior, Jesus Christ is
Shua the Christ, came from glory and was born in
the flesh. Yet he was all God and all men
(08:30):
and man, and he was the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
For he was and is the passover Lamb that shed
his blood for all humanity. Without the shedding of his
blood and the perfect atonement sacrifice could not have been made. Thus,
(08:51):
our sinful state is finished. Because the atonement and the
shedding of the blood of Christ Jesus and our faith
in him, our separation from God is finished. For Christ
Jesus is that bridge which brought us into the Father's
glory to know him. The power of darkness over us
(09:13):
is finished as well. In addition, the power of death
and the grave hold nothing over believers in Jesus Christ.
In the battle for truth and life and redemption, we
as Christian followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, can fight
the enemy and wind darkness holds no power over us
(09:35):
because of the redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ, Yesua.
That's our hope and faith. Amen in Collasions one twenty three.
If you continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and
be not move away from the hope of the Gospel
(09:56):
which you have heard and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven, whereof I Paul Am made
a minister. Now we put the whole context in this
particular thing when we do them, so when you're listening
you will hear the full thing. But it's one of
(10:19):
those things with all of our posts, and we have
over twenty five years, well over twenty five years of
teachings just like this one, and when we put them up,
we just don't put the audio. I write a full article,
(10:43):
almost a little bit short of a regular article that
I write, but it's you know, three times as much
as anybody else does on their podcast, Faith and Hope.
And so this is the Word of the Lord. Part fourteen,
(11:08):
Hope and Faith. It's a series, and this series is
by myself, the Watchman Danas Smith and Tower who is
co host. We are the wibr Warren Radio websites and
ministries and in depth biblical teaching, preaching and warning agency
(11:29):
in these last days, and we use key kjav and
so the Word of the Lord, Hope and faith Part fourteen.
Okay Tewer. We are in our satellite ministry. You know,
(11:58):
Tower and I were on shortwave and we were also
on satellite before we did this, which is send it
through the internet globally. And so this is SAT set
(12:20):
was a long time ago. It was We've been doing
this a long time. And so the thing about SAT
seven it is a regular satellite, it's a Christian satellite ministry,
and we like to tell you about these ministries. You
can go to SAT dash seven dot org. And the
(12:45):
reason I tell you that is I'd like you to
visit that website, look on it over and if you
if you can donate something to them to help them
reach believers and even unbelievers who listen around the world.
(13:06):
And SAT seven's programs are helping parents in the Middle
East and North Africa. We call that Mina e Anda
and they learn how to raise their children with love
and wisdom. They also have talk shows, workshops, viewers, support services,
(13:28):
and their meeting with parents where they aren't providing guidance
from a biblical perspective. One program on SAT seven Arabic
called ADHD Podcast is ministering to parents with children who
have attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. And someone who has
(13:57):
listened and that she was writing from Lebanon, said thank
you for the wonderful program. It felt like someone was
speaking on my behalf. The Sat seven Turk program Parents
(14:17):
Are Asking Now in its fourth season, addresses a wide
range of parenting questions while taking a creative problem solving approach.
Other programs appeared specifically towards Christian families and it goes
(14:41):
out of course. On SAT seven and SAT seven pars
a program raising little hearts that's encouraging for the Yeah
it is. And a man from a Psalm, a man
named a Som from Egypt. Now all these names are
not the real names. We don't share anybody's real name
(15:06):
participated in one of their parenting workshops and he said,
I learned to respect my son's opinion, listen to him
and give him love and attention.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah it is. We are grateful SAT seven is helping
build strong bonds between family members and giving parents the
tools to overcome modern challenges. Thank you for your support.
You are providing parents with culturally relevant and biblically centered
(15:38):
television programs and digital media. And that's the kind of
a ministry you want to donate to, right So check
it out at sat dash seven dot org and find
out how you can help them reach others. And thank
(16:00):
you for that.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Okay, this is an exciting story, saved and I know it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
There's no doubt that an incredible spiritual movement is taking
shape in America. From college campuses to beaches on both
coasts and evangelical outreaches in small towns, there is evidence
that the spirit of God is moving as people give
their lives to Jesus Christ. This phenomenon is also going
(16:37):
on behind bars, including the sum NERD County Jail in Gatland, Tennessee,
where one hundred and seventy inmates were baptized last weekend,
according to WTFB TV. Now, this story does come to
us from CBN News, and men and women waited patiently
(17:00):
for their turn inside the small jail to publicly declare
the change that had taken place in their hearts a
new found relationship with Jesus Christ. Here at the Sumner
County Jail, something very unique is happening, involving dozens and
dozens of inmates hoping to change their lives. Jerry Scott,
(17:22):
the jail administrator, told the outlet Long Hollow Church and
First Baptist Church of Hendersonville worked closely with jail staff
to baptize inmates periodically throughout the year. Last weekend's event
became the largest they had seen. Some of the inmates
(17:45):
will be leaving the jail soon, fulfilling time served for
their crimes they've committed, yet the baptism serves as a
fresh start. This is a day they can remember that.
It's something about baptism they don't forget, said Chaplain Bruce
Riley with First Baptist Hendersonville. It's really them committing to live,
(18:10):
to follow Jesus and not come back. It's a bold statement.
Danny Spaino with Long Hollow Church added. One female inmate
shared with what the baptisms represent. We get a new
beginning and a new start and live a better life,
she said. And you can read more on by going
(18:33):
to CPN dot com. And look for the story one
hundred and seventy inmates received fresh start baptized.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That's cool, that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Is awesome, Thank God.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
It is the next one. Muslim's coming to Christ. You know,
we get a lot of Muslims in America, we have
a lot of them. But these Muslims are coming to
change America. But you see the problem with America. Many
(19:12):
Americans do not have the faith of Christ. America's back
sliden and has been back slidden for a long time.
But yet Muslims are coming to Christ. And so in
spite of everything, then we ask what is driving this shift?
(19:36):
Why are so many Muslims embrace Jesus Christ and leaving
behind their Muslim faith? And I know of current ministries
that are Muslim preaching Christ. And I've known personally Muslims
who became Christians. And this has been going on for
(19:58):
a long time. Not reason, I mean, it's you know,
Muslims have come to Christ because they want the truth.
At the heart of the conversions is the deep desire
for a personal relationship with God, and Christianity teaches that
(20:24):
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, offers salvation internal life
to all who believe in him. That's why I came
to the Lord a repented of my sin. So did
Tower a personal relationship. For many Muslims, the message of grace,
(20:50):
God's grace forgiveness and love is incredibly compelling. Now the
love is demonstrated. When you start following the Lord, you
will know his love if you're serious. In Islam, there's
(21:13):
a strong emphasis on works, laws, and obedience. While these
are important values, some Muslims who convert to Christianity find
a sense of freedom and peace and knowing that they
don't have to earn God's love. It's already freely given, folks,
(21:33):
according to Ephesians two eight, for tis by grace, you
have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves.
It is the gift of God. And One unique aspect
of Muslims converting to Christianity is a number of stories
involving personal counters or dreams. Many Christian converts from Islam
(21:58):
share testimony of having dreams or visions of Jesus leading
them to faith. These experiences often serves the catalysts for
their decision to accept Jesus in following him.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, that is cool, it is it is cool.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
For instance, numerous accounts describe how Jesus appeared to individuals
and dreams, offering comfort or guidance, and these dreams, Muslims
say they felt a powerful connection to Christ will jultimately
lead them to conversion. The spiritual experience provides a profound
(22:40):
and personal reason for many to leave their Muslim faith
and embrace Christianity. Although converting from Islam to Christianity can
be dangerous, sometimes even punishable by death under Islamic law,
it hasn't stopped the spread of Christianity in Muslim majority
(23:03):
countries from the Middle East to Central Asia. Christian ministries
have been working tirelessly to share the message of Jesus.
This has led to an increase in conversions from Islam
in surprising places. For example, a report from Duayanne, Alexander Miller,
(23:28):
and Patrick Johnson estimates there were ten million Muslim background
baptisms in twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That's great in places where Muslim faith is dominant. These
conversions represent a significant shift in the religious landscape. Despite
the appeal of Christianity, converting from Islam, of course, is
not without risk. In many Muslim majority countries, leaving Islam
(24:03):
for another religion is seen as an act of apacity
apostasy and can carry severe consequences. Some countries impose the
death penalty for those who reject Islam, and in many
places Christian converts face persecution from their families, communities, in government.
(24:30):
A Muslim who converted to Christianity in a country like
Iran or Saudi Arabia may face intense social pressure, imprisonment,
or worse. Islamic law or shariahs enforced in several Muslim
countries where religious freedom is severely restricted. Despite these dangers,
(24:53):
millions of Muslims are still deciding to follow Jesus, often
at great personal costs. And Luke nine twenty three, Jesus
said this, if anyone would come after me, let him
deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.
And this resonates deeply with Christian converts from the Muslim
(25:17):
world who face persecution for their faith. You know these
are This particular article is from Global Christian Relief dot org.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Isn't that amazing? Ten million?

three months with only herbs for medicine. There was Elizabeth,
who disguised her son as a girl to prevent Bocoham
from taking him, and then buried another child with her
bare hands after escaping. And then there was Tabitha, who
(27:25):
chose Christ when Terris pointed a gun in her head,
saying I knew I'd rather die with Jesus than die
in sin.
Speaker 3 (27:38):

to believe.

And you know, we don't understand that what they're going through.
We hear the stories. We feel terrible that they're doing that,
that they're going through that. Okay, this is our June
prayer force for June twenty third through the thirtieth. Jesus
(30:18):

Esther admitted I would have killed them if possible. She
received spiritual care and is now able to forgive them
and forgive us our debts as we have forgiven.

(31:43):
and this comes to us from Open Doors us dot org.
Your brother is in heaven now with God. I told
my two children whom they when they ask about their
older brother. These are the words of Pa Yang or Peyang,
(32:06):
and her name has been changed. A young mother in
her late twenties from Northern Laos. She tragically lost her
eldest son after he consumed a poisoned drink. It was
later discovered that Payang's Payang's relatives had hired someone to
facilitate his death. They wanted to punish Pa Yang and
(32:29):
her husband Lovee for becoming Christians. Payang and her family
live in a village along a winding road in the
mountains of Northern Laos. The landscape is breathtaking. Green trees,
fluffy clouds, and traditional houses dot the area, almost making
(32:51):
up for the terrifying journey along steep cliffs. Poyang and
le V became Christians in twenty twenty, along with a
few other families in the community. Since then, they have
been persecuted many times by local villagers. The villagers had
(33:13):
tried to expel the family from the community and created
an environment where the Christian family was discriminated against. Their
neighbors and community kept trying different ways to force the
family to renounce their faith, but Levee and Payang never
gave up. This year, however, the persecution took a painful turn.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
This time.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
It began with a land conflict between my wife's relatives
and me, Levy said, excuse me. They wanted to take
over a piece of land that belonged to me. When
I refused to give up the law land, they became
angry and started looking for revenge. As he speaks, Payang
(33:58):
sits beside him, staring into the distance. She knows what
happens next in their story. A few days after the
conflict over the land, Levie and Poyang were working in
the fields when they were urgently summoned by their neighbors.
They hurried home only to find their three kids lying
(34:20):
ill on the floor. They rushed them to the district hospital,
but seeing the state of the children, the doctor referred
them to a larger hospital. When they arrived, the younger
two were comatose. Tragically the older the oldest didn't survive.
The doctor was able to save our two younger kids,
(34:41):
Levy said, almost whispering. I spent a few days in
the hospital for the treatment of my children. However, the
cost of the treatment was very high and I had
no money. When we then decided to leave the hospital sooner,
even while the doctors were asking us not to as
the kids needed more hospital care.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
We returned home.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Though our kids were better, they were still weak and
needed constant care from us. It was very tough. We
were still mourning for our eldest son who passed away
so suddenly, and I had to take care of my
other kids. The couple believed the villagers, especially Pa Yang's relatives,
(35:29):
who had argued with Levy, was behind all this. Later
more investigation confirmed their suspicions. Pa Yang's relatives had hired
someone to sneak into the house and add poison to
a drink. The poison was meant for the for the
for everyone in the family, especially for Levee and Payang. However,
(35:52):
the children.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Got to it first.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
My relatives perhaps thought no one would help us in
this situation and we would beside and we would backslide
from our faith. But they are wrong, Payang shares resolutely.
She stopped for a few minutes. She stopped for a moment,
her eyes moist with tears, and says, I am sad
(36:15):
to lose my son, but I believe, and I know
that my son is sitting with Jesus in heaven.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I believe it too, Yeah, Levie added, even if there
is more persecution, we will continue believing in Jesus. We
will walk faithfully with the Lord, even if we are
the only ones doing it. In the midst of their pain,
the family clings to scripture. My encouragement comes from the
(36:44):
story of Job in the Bible of He says he
faced many tests and lost almost everything, but the Lord
delivered him in the end. And I believe the Lord
will always save us like he saved Job. And because
of open doors help, I was able to pay the
hospital bills for the children. Through the help of many Christians,
(37:09):
including the believers in the area. We are helping the
family with follow up treatment for the children so that
they get entirely well. LEVI as ask us to pray
for them as they seek justice and direction. Please pray
for our case in the court against the people who
(37:30):
killed our child. Pray that the justice system is fair
to us. Pray that the perpetrators do not find ways
to harm us more if they are released. I am sure,
almost unsure if God wants us to stay in the
same village or look for a new place. Pray the
Lord's leading us and making the right decision. He also
(37:55):
asked us to pray for the persecutors. I believe that
the people who plan to kill or harm us for
any reason can open their hearts to see God's mercy
and love if we pray for them. So please pray
for them and go to Open Doorsus dot org to
donate and find out how you can help persecuted brothers
(38:19):
and sisters.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
And now back to you.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
That's such a good story.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
It is.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's tragic, but it's a good story. It should encourage
people going through a hard time. Never give up.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Well, you know, Lord, when people pass on, Yeah, they're
was the Lord. The apostle Paul said, you know, if
you're absent from the body, you're present with the Lord. Yes, period.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
The next one is on Syria from Mission Network News,
but it also high another organization which is Horizons International
dot org. It was founded by Georges Housni or Housney,
(39:13):
and he was raised in the predominantly Muslim city of Tripoli, Lebanon.
He came to faith in Jesus Christ as a teenager,
and soon God grew a deep love for Muslims in
his heart, and he began to sense God's call for
full time service among them.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
And this is about the Allow Whites in Syria, and
they were the ones that were favored under assad. Of
course he's no longer there, but now they faced violence,
displacement and deep need. Many of these ala Whites, which
(40:03):
is a Shia offshoot, are open to the Gospel like
never before. The ala Whites is a religious minority in Syria.
They revere Ali Ali or Ali the son in law
(40:23):
of the prophet Mohammed. They believe in reincarnation and teach
that women are excluded from heaven. Boy, I wouldn't do
very good for the women. That's an all a white.
But the you know, the thing of it is Christianity
(40:46):
does teach that men and women, their children can call
upon the name of the Lord, and if they die
or when they die, they all have a home in
heaven with the Lord. And today many are eager to
know Jesus, says their savior. Well, it has some good points.
(41:09):
And Pierre Huzni, which is from Horizons International, says of
the Alowites, they're so curious about the Gospel we're praying
with them, we're preaching to them, and they're very, very
open to the message. So this is a huge gospel
(41:31):
opportunity as well as a humanitarian crisis. During his time
and power, Siria's former president Bashar Alissad, who is an Alowite,
granted his people unperadvantages in jobs and education. Now that
he's gone, public anger has turned against them. The crisis
(41:54):
intensified when Sunni militant groups entered Alowhite majority areas often
shared with Christian communities and began massacring residents. Now they're
just getting down trodden and massacred and driven out, he said.
Fleeing for their lives, many Aloites escape to Lebanon with
(42:19):
nothing but the clothes on their backs. Some have taken
shelter and graveyards, facing desperate conditions, with no clear plan
or hope of returning home anytime soon. Local ministries are
doing what they can, but resources are limited. The most
urgent needs are food and hygiene supplies. As quickly as
(42:43):
we can, as sustainably as we can. We try to
run the race for the gospel, meet the people in
their time and need, which also often coincides at their
time of spiritual openness. Yeah, I Alowhite repugees in Lebanon
often fall off the global radar, but their needs are real.
(43:06):
Among them are both new believers and sincere seekers of truth.
Now you can help the Alowites in their search for
Christ and you can visit Horizons International website to join
(43:29):
their mission of offering both physical and spiritual help. Now
the Alohites now see this one here. This article came
out of Mission Network News who talked about both the
Alowites and Horizons International dot org. So if you're interested
(43:54):
in this, go to Horizons International dot org and they
will have more information there. You can also contact him
through the contact page to find out what it's like.
It's really dangerous. When you get overseas and you know
the people that work in this kind of stuff, they
(44:16):
can tell you what you need to know. Now we're
in Indonesia. Now. This one is about an eighty eight
year old Christian boy. An eight year old, Yeah, eight
(44:38):
year old that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Sounded like eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
I know eight year old Christian boy who died after
an assault. They wouldn't leave him alone. And so this
young boy eight years old again in Indonesia. He died
from a rupture to pendix and days after an old,
(45:05):
older Muslim student beat him so severely he required hospital treatment.
Is well, they were intended that, yeah, they were intending
to beat him to death. They did. It was unclear
whether the beating of second grade student. I can't even
read his name, but he was in a village and
(45:32):
was on May nineteenth, and there was four or five
Muslim fifth graders who beat him and ruptured his kidney
and that's what killed him. And you got to watch
your children over there. And most of these, you know,
have to go to the school that they you know,
(45:56):
for all of them, and you'll find both Muslim and
Christians there. And this young boy paid with his life.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
And they did an autopsy and they found several bruises
on a stomach and thighs caused by blunt force trauma.
And they concluded that he died from an adominal cavity
infection due to a ruptured appendix. And that was in
(46:29):
Indonesia's and Terra News agency. We also found a leak
in the right abdomen area, a police offer identified as
super Yanto. The cause of death was an abdominal cavity
(46:50):
infection due to a ruptured appendix. His father said his
son had been bullied due to his ethnicity and Christian faith.
A week before, he had been bullied a lot the
perpetrator speak about his ethnicity is religion, and it happened
(47:10):
before he got sick. The bullying reached its peak on
May nineteenth, when the older students gave his bicycle a
flat tire and beat him. That night, Chris had a
high fever, back pain, and lower obdemum was swollen. Wow
(47:34):
Five seniors, ages eleven to thirteen beat him, and so
As reported to the state elementary school and they contacted
his homeroom teacher and complained about the swelling and severe pain,
(48:00):
and the school principle identified is summoned as Sutarno. Some
of the assailants and their parents to a mediation meeting
with Chris's parents, in which the older students admitted to
hitting him. They acknowledged that they had assaulted my son,
(48:25):
but he, you know, his condition was deteriorating, so they
had to take him. An autopsy showed violence on his body,
bruises on his lower left abdomen, upper leg, front side
and blood in his stomach, and blood was also found
(48:46):
in the fatty tissue under the skin in the stomach area.
And the parents of the bullies attended his burial along
with several from the related schools. You know, I don't
care where they're from.
Speaker 3 (49:08):
It's horrible.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
They dad should have never been allowed to continue and
go on.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
You know, it should have never been allowed. But you
know the fact of it is it is allowed.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Well, even the parents of the boys attended the burial.
I wonder what they did with their children that were
the bullies and responsible for the death.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Of this life.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Well, I doubt they did anything because the article doesn't say.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
You know, that's so tragic. I pray for that family.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
But we find the kids. A lot of these Christians
are targeted, and it just it's gut rinching because the
parents lose their and I've seen parents lose their older
boys on numerous occasions. In these reports, these older kids
(50:08):
are targeted. You know, it just you know, there is
justice in the world, but it's in the Kingdom that's coming,
and the Lord will bring justice. You can be guaranteed
(50:29):
of that.
Speaker 3 (50:30):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
Okay, Tower Children, Chilter of Peace This is uh.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
Brought to us.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
From via SAT sven USA dot org. This is shelter
of peace for children in Iran. I am from Morocco.
I'm nineteen years old. Though many people surround me, I
have no one to talk to you. I'm so grateful
to the Lord for your help and advice. God bless you.
(51:05):
These are story or little messages from people that are
benefiting from the SAT seven satellite ministries.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
And another one, I want to ask you to pray
for me.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
And this was when Trump bombed Iran.
Speaker 3 (51:30):
I want to ask you to pray for me.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Last night, five or six missiles flew right over our heads.
Since then, I haven't been able to sleep at all.
I was so scared.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
We keep reading this verse.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
I will not die, but live and will proclaim what
the Lord has done.
Speaker 3 (51:48):
So I'm one eighteen seventeen and that.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Is from Serena and she's aged ten from Iran.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
And this is where you can also understand that they
get these scriptures. There's a lot of them are provided
with audio Bibles from a lot of these ministries. So
they listened to SAT seven and they could also SAT
seven does a lot of stuff with the scripture with
(52:16):
these kids. So she's ten towers, so she knew this.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah, it's sad for them to have to go through this.
So prayers and messages from children and Iran have been
flooding into SAT seven's Persian channel as a conflict with
Israel intensifies. SAT seven Pars went live on satellite and
social media yesterday, which was well last week June seventeenth
(52:47):
with a special episode of Church for Kids, which focuses
on helping young viewers manage their emotions during times of crisis,
featured many calls and messages from children and Iran in
response to the current situation. One viewer described Church for
(53:09):
Kids like a shelter full of peace, while another said,
thank you for being by our side and praying for us.
This gives us hope.
Speaker 1 (53:20):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Yes, it is a many Church for Kids viewers shared
with presenter Miriam how they are feeling fearful and concerned
for loved ones that they have been unable to sleep.
Excuse me, it's really beyond words. Not knowing when when
you close your eyes at night, if you'll live to
(53:42):
see the sunrise, Worrying about your loved ones, not knowing
if they are safe, or not, and that's from Nigar
age ten. But many also express their faith in God
and commit their country to Him. In prayer, Mary Am
age nine, prayed, God, I pray for my beloved Iran,
(54:08):
a wounded land but full of hope amid war, pain
and tears. You are our only hope, Comfort the broken hearts,
hear the cries, and shine your light from heaven upon
our land. That girl is nine years old. She sounds
very wise and.
Speaker 1 (54:27):
That's isn't that a great prayer? It is prayer?
Speaker 2 (54:34):
Yes, and that's amazing prayer for you know, age nine. Yeah,
And speaking after the broadcast, Church for Kids, presenter Marian said,
what hurts my heart the most is thinking of the
children and young people in Iran witnessing violence, fear, and loss,
(54:55):
but they still hold onto hope and on to God
in the the difficult times. These children remind us of
the power of prayer and faith. We believe that no
matter how dark things seem, God's light.
Speaker 3 (55:09):
Will break through.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (55:17):
There's lots of stories that they've encouraged the people. Haniel said,
I have been feeling a lot of different emotions these days.
I feel fear, I feel weary, worry. I feel worry
and sometimes sadness comes over me. But I also feel
that these hard times are a kind of opportunity, a
(55:39):
chance for us to get to know God better and
trust him more. In times like these, we can have
faith in God and be sure that He is taking
care of us.
Speaker 1 (55:49):
Don't they sound mature?
Speaker 3 (55:51):
They do.
Speaker 1 (55:53):
God health these in Jesus name.
Speaker 3 (55:58):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
So they also provide advice for parents on how they
can support their children during such times.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
And it's.
Speaker 2 (56:13):
They have. They've gone live with four special programs throughout
the day offering prayerers support to viewers in Iran. After
the first night of airstrikes.
Speaker 1 (56:25):
Yeah, well, thank god they're over with.
Speaker 3 (56:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
Please pray give thanks that the Lord rules over the
nations and pray for his peace and justice to prevail

the Holy Land, especially the children who are feeling afraid
and are unable to sleep. May they experience the Lord's
peace and protection. Amen, and pray for to Okay, and

the Lord will move and pray for all these ministries.
(58:40):
We want to thank you for listening. And there's nothing

them to all have a childhood.
