Lawlessness is sweeping the nations of men. It is hard to see why the United Kingdom, Canada, and even the United States allow this to take root in their nations and the legal systems. If there is an example to the west, it is the #genocide of #Christian believers going on in Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere. Entire families of Christians are slaughtered. While a few other groups like radical Hindus or others; Islam is by far the most aggressive and #bloodyminded to murder and wipe out #Christianity. The lawlessness today is mind boggling, unless you understand this #violence is a #sign of the #endofdays. Even in America our violence like the #murder of Charlie Kirk is no different. Liberalism, Transgenderism, among other left leaning ideas are getting more violent all the time. It is time to awaken and pray, preparing your family to withstand this #hell-bent push. However, there is a major item and that is the #Revival that continued the wakening of Americans and the youth of this country. #God also moved on the people at Charlie Kirk's memorial and it was clear, people are now reaching out to the #Lord for help and direction. This is #America's answer to those, including Islam that uses violence to push their agendas from Hell. In the End, we win through #ChristJesus and so does the #persecutedchurch worldwide. #Lawlessness

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Greetings, Dana, how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, I'm doing good. How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'm doing good. Great to be here on this Thursday night.
Do you realize that this is the last Thursday in September?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, it's hard to believe. I know.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Tomorrow's last Friday.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, and October is coming. Yeah, that's unbelievable. Well, so
much for summer. But but we do have a fall.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And it's been nice. We're gonna have eighties this weekend.
That's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah. I don't know. I say this all the time.
It's just time goes by so fast.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah. In a way, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
In a way, I don't like it, but yeah, there's
nothing you can do about it. Yep. Time flies when
you're having fun. And if you ever get on the
internet for anything, much like getting on X. Remember we
(05:54):
have two major sites on X and there's a bit
crowd on both of them, and so we have in
the thousands, and so you can check that out. If
you want to know where they're at, just email us
(06:16):
or contact us somehow. But all you have to do
is search Warren Radio. But at any rate, up front,
I want to cover this. This came in after we
(06:37):
had put the show together, but it's from the a
c l J. You can go to the a c
l J dot org. And the reason I want to
bring this to you is because the a c l
J works now. They're they're Christians, you know, and they
(07:00):
monitor like, for instance, this Islam radical systematically murder or
Radical Islam systematically murders thousands of Christians And this comes
from them at the ACLJ. And I'm bringing this up
just as a reminder. You can go to ACLJ and
(07:23):
donate to help them because they go before major like
the United Nations and also the World Court, and they
work to bring out the issues of the persecuted church.
And in their writing here of all Christians killed worldwide
(07:48):
are in Nigeria. Christians live in a constant state of
terror feature abduction, torture, and murder by radical Islamic Jihatis.
Now see apps we have radical Jihattis in America and
there's a whole bunch of them, and they use the
free speech in America to tell you that when they
(08:10):
take over America, they're going to kill well, what we
call the Kaffirs, the unbelievers, so Boko Haram, which we've
covered quite a bit, the Jihattis army and Nigerian arm
(08:31):
of ISIS has slaughtered innocent Christians. And they have and
this is just their version of what they're trying to
warn about. And so it's not surprising that you have
this going on because make no mistake, Islam is out
to conquer the world. Boko Ram, Let's see, the Jihattis
(08:59):
army in Nigerian arm of ISIS has slaughtered innocent Christians.
It burns down churches, Christian churches. One survivor stated, I
saw bodies in the street, children and women. Some were
crying for help. It even poses as preachers to slaughter
(09:20):
Christian congregants and kidnaps Christian children. Other jihadist groups like
the Tilani herdsmen are increasing this barbaric persecution of Christians
in Nigeria, slaughtering thousands and they do.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That is just gut wrenching, Dana, I can't even imagine
and seeing them laying in the streets and hearing them
cry for help, that would just be more than you
could bear.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah. So now the next part from the ACLJ tells
you what they're doing to try to stop some of this.
So they begin by saying again, every day, thirty five
Nigerian Christians are executed by Islamic radicals. That's every day,
twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You
(10:18):
have this, that's seven thousand believers martyred every year for
their faith in Nigeria alone. In just hours, they say,
we are taking urgent action to defend dying Christians. Just
days ago, six Christians were slaughtered in a nighttime attack
as families went to bed, capping off a summer of horror.
(10:40):
The summer began with the June massacre of two hundred
believers when infants, toddlers, and the elderly were murdered and
thrown into fires. Now, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
No, Oh, dear God.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And so this is just a tip of the tentacle
if they get their way. Fleeing victims were shot a
local church leader describes a situation as a church under
Islamic extermination. Nigerian Christians are being slaughtered while their own
(11:19):
government looks the other way. This unchecked evil demands action,
that's right. So this is what they do. This is
why we support the ACLJ. Today we're delivered an oral
intervention at the UN Human Rights Counsel on behalf of
persecuted Christians in Nigeria. We are exerting unceasing pressure on
(11:42):
Nigeria's president to protect Christians and proved he is not
complicit in the killing. But this is where we need you.
God has called us to defend Christians, whether they are
unjustly on death row or pacing massacre. But this vital
work requires significant reason resources. Donate today to defend dying Christians.
(12:05):
Here you can go to the ACLJ dot org to
donate and help save dying Christian believers. So that's an
urgent message and I take that message very serious.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Now we're entering into our regular portion of the show,
and this is upfront transforming Hope. What we do every
week when we do our shows, we'll bring forth an article,
a post of some kind that is on our websites,
and we feature it to you and tell you a
little bit about it. Transforming hope, And that's by myself,
(12:49):
the watchman Dana Smith. Through the glass darkly, hope and
transformation bring us into the arena of hope and our
Now we need hope, folks, to be sure that today
we are seeing through a glass darkly, but one day
we shall see all things face to face hope in
(13:12):
the transformation from mere human that faces sin, death and
the grave, then to have the ultimate victory over the
same sin, death and the grave through Jesus Christ. Yes,
it is a victory for us, the ultimate victory who
have believed in Christ. It is that hope and knowing
(13:33):
we will see our Lord and be like him, thus
transformed into the children of God, perfectly redeemed in a
perfect redemption. Now that's encouraging. Yes, it is through the
glass darkly, hope and transformation bring us into the arena
of our hope in our future. To be sure that
(13:56):
today we are seeing through that glass darkly, but one
day we're going to see face to face. For us,
the ultimate victory who have believed in Christ, it is
that hope and knowing we will see our Lord and
(14:18):
be like him and transformed into the children of God,
perfectly redeemed in a perfect redemption, as Paul told the
Church of Believers at Corinth. Now we see through a glass,
and that is only darkly, not complete, surely, not knowing
at all on the other side with Christ and being
(14:40):
found in him. But one day, as Paul puts it,
but then face to face, Yes, this is our victory
from the dark, the knowing of our physical body in life.
But then we move into that of a spirit, a
new body, and victory in heaven. Here we are also
to that we shall know even as I am also,
(15:04):
even as also I am known first Corinthians thirteen ten
through thirteen. For now we see through a glass darkly,
but then face to face. Now I know in part,
But then I shall know even as I am known.
(15:26):
But today let us unite our hope in the transformation
which we will have this in our journey, have hope
in Christ Jesus. This has been a look at transforming hope.
Written by myself, the Watchman, Dana Smith. The Warren radio
(15:50):
shows are hosted by the Watchman Dana G. Smith and Tower,
who is co host. We are the WYBR Warren Radio
websites and minutes an in depth Biblical teaching preaching warning agency.
In these last days, all scripture quoted as King James
version of the Bible less it is noted to be
(16:12):
another version. The work in ministry of the wibr Warren
Radio is about the testimony of Jesus Christ, through the
faith of Jesus Christ, by the mercy of God our Father,
through his grace extended flowing from the love of God
to all people everywhere, commanding everyone to repent. So go
(16:35):
to Dana Glennsmith dot com and look for the article
Transforming Hope and check it out. It's on the websites.
And now we move forward. Prayer and intervention is needed.
(17:11):
You see, there's a crackdown on Christianity in India and
the believers go through this quite a bit. In the
last few days, the new anti conversion law went into
(17:31):
effect and Hindu majority a tar well, let's say in India.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
A tar canned India, a tari can something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, I haven't seen that one. That's a new province.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
An amendment to what's called the Freedom of Religion Bill
actually threatens the religious freedom of our Christian family. There.
The law makes portraying the practice as rituals and ceremonies
of any religion or any integral part thereof in a
prejudicial manner in relation to any other religion, or glorifying
(18:10):
one religion as against another illegal. Essentially, the amendment outlaws
speaking ill or praising of any one religion over another.
Even share in one's faith on social media could result
in fines and imprisonment. These changes come with harsher enforcement,
(18:31):
including arrests without warrants, imprisonment without bail if the courts
aren't convinced of innocent or the likelihood of offending. One
of our trusted partners have shared the immediate impact of
this law and quote this has certainly changed things for
(18:52):
pastors and Christians in the say in the state of
utter and Yeah, many of them have deleted their social
media I have heard of some who plan to leave
the state as well. No one is willing to come
forward and speak about it because of fear. Yeah. Another
(19:15):
partner highlighted the broader implications, fearing a ripple effect across India.
Certainly this is going to affect the house church movement
there initially, Later the established church there will be affected
as the amendment does talk about seizing properties. So even
a false case will be enough to do so.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And you know there will be some.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah. Yet even in these trials, the spirit of Christ
shines through our partner, affirmed with fearless faith. No matter
what the effects of this, the work will go on,
persecutions of part of Christian life for the greater or small.
We need to be careful. But if it comes, praise Lord.
His name is Glorifoyd, no matter what. Now, this powerful
(20:03):
testimony reminds us that our God is sovereign even in
the face of adversity. Now, our brothers and sisters in
Atara can need your prayers. Be sure to take a
moment to pray for them and pray a little every
day about them. So go to Global Christian Relief dot
(20:24):
org and you can donate to help them. Help our
persecuted brethren in Christ who are facing trouble in India.
And as you're praying, be sure to pray for courage
and protection. Pray for the pastors and Christian leaders there
for divine protection and courage continue sharing the Gospel despite threats.
(20:49):
Pray for divine wisdom and provision and protection for believing
because they have to navigate these new laws, and especially
for congregations who would face potential long court trials and property.
(21:12):
Pray for God's provision for those who may be forced
to relocate her and do her legal battles. Pray for
steadfast faith in God's glory and pray that the faith
of the Christians there will remain unshakable. Pray that through
every challenge God's name will be glorified. The Gospel continue
(21:33):
to advance like rivers of life, transforming hearts and communities.
Thank you for standing with our persecuted brethren in India.
Be sure to keep them in your prayers. Amen, horrible
Now this was written by Brian Ormey, who is a

President and CEO of Global Christian Relief. So go to
Glorylobal Christian Relief dot org and donate. You can also

other means, so be sure to go to Global Christian

Relief dot org. Father, and I just pray that you
would be with all the believers there in India, in
every province, in every place, protect the believers, make a
way for them and help them to rise above the persecution. Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yes, Amen, I stand in agreement. With you.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Okay, that's awful.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
It is.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's gut wrenching. All this stuff it's going on around
the world of persecution of Christians is just almost more
than you can take. You know, my heart goes out
all these people people and the suffering and the fear
and the horror, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Awful. Well it does, you know, I mean, it is,
and it never is. We've been doing these shows for
a long time and it never goes away.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It just gets worse and worse. It waxes worse and worse.
So you know that we're in the end of the
end of the end.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Days we do, we do absolutely. And in America, America's
threatened by Muslims, the UK is threatened by Muslims. There's
a lot of Muslim groups and various nations ready to
take it over. So be sure you understand if you're
not right with the Lord, get right with the Lord.
You need to fast and pray. You need to wake
(23:47):
up to the time. Unfortunately here in America there's many
who are asleep. In America, we have various challenges, a
lot of hard, tuugh challenges here and nation that was
founded on the Word of God and freedom it's hard
to believe how messed up this country is. Amen, But
(24:08):
thanks that we've got a strong administration in President Trump
and all of his team. But anyway, go ahead tower, Okay,
you ready?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yes? This is ic'es ic see Internet Our work in
Somalia Part one, So persecution dot org. This story comes
to us from persecution dot org International Christian Concern and
(24:39):
a recent article we posted on our website about Christian
persecution in Somalia and our support for the underground church
there went viral, sparking both positive and negative reactions. The
articles serving the Hidden Church in Somalia was originally published
(24:59):
in Excuse Me. It received the usual responses on our Facebook,
Instagram and x accounts, expressions of sadness for what our
brothers and sisters in christ endure in Somalia, promises to
keep them in prayer, and a desire to help them. However,
(25:21):
shortly after we recently reposted the article, a Muslim Somali
influencer named Ahmed Shoghi Shogi shared it on his TikTok account.
It garnered more than one point four million views, more
(25:42):
than sixty two thousand likes, and more than twenty four
thousand shares. He also shared it on other social media channels.
Here's a translation of what he said in his video.
There's a Christian organization called International Christian Concern and many
others who are reaching out to the underground Christian community
(26:05):
in Mogadishu. This organization said that the number of Christians
in Mogadishu alone is fifteen hundred. Although these small Somali
Christians are hidden in the community and they fear persecution,
and this organization said they are helping their needs and
already have visited their underground Christian community and they have
(26:29):
set up safe houses and praying for the and paying
for the rent and food for some for some. The
leader in Mogadishu. So if you don't know what's going
on in the country, you can see more Christian reports
about Somalia if you google this page International Christian Concern
(26:51):
website and you will see how much Christian in our
country and how they are hiding inside Mogadishu. We must
be aware and protect our vulnerable people like women and
children in the poor and the poor people who are
being targeted by these Christian organizations. And like this woman
(27:12):
in her photo on the page, there are many women
like her who are living in Mogadishu. Did you hear
get that, Dana, that he wants to protect these vulnerable
people like women and children and the poor people who
are being targeted by these Christian organizations. So you can
(27:36):
go to persecution dot org to help to donate and
help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. And we
also pray that our followers will demonstrate the love of
Jesus when they choose to engage with Somali's or anyone
else online. After all, one of Christ's most challenging commands
(28:01):
is that we love one everyone. Jesus sums it up
best in Matthew five forty three and through forty five.
You have heard that it was said love your neighbor
and hate your enemy. But I tell you love your
enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you
may be children of your Father in heaven. And that
(28:24):
was part one, and now back to you.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
We are in the Democratic Republic with Condo of the Congo,
and there was one hundred plus Christians killed in two days.
This comes from open doors US dot org. That's open
doors US dot org. They had come to pay tribute
(28:52):
to one of their church members who had recently passed. Now,
this is horrible. At nine pm on Mondays, Timber eighth
Christians in the Toyo village gathered at a funeral service
in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. But what
was supposed to be a peaceful gathering of believers mourning
(29:13):
together ended in bloodshed as militants attacked with guns, mostly
with machete. By the time the militants left, seventy Christians
were dead, one hundred kidnapped, in sixteen houses were burned
to the ground. You know, for the life of me,
(29:35):
I can't figure out why they get away with this stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I know, it's just astounding.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You know, it's nuts and so a night of sadness
and desolation for Christians. Now. Pastor Pluku said they arrived
and started killing. Well, that was Reverend Mambula Samaki of
(30:11):
a church in another area. Those who tried to flee
were shot dead. Others were killed with machetes. A parish
priest and that is the Peluko I talked earlier, described
the scenes he saw when he went to the side.
(30:31):
It's horrible what I saw. Bodies of women on mattresses
in the living room, others on the corridor, still others
outside in the plot. Some bodies were on the road
in plots close to the center. They killed almost all
the people gathered at the place for mourning. The leader
(30:53):
of the church in the area narrowly escaped, having just
left the village. I had passed through Natoya, he told
an open doors local field partner. After less than thirty
minutes we heard about to attack. God still has a
mission for me, but this would only be the beginning
of the killing spree by the eighty of the Allied
(31:15):
Democratic forces. Now these people beyond me. Why they column
the Democratic forces? Yeah, we have reported on them all
over and these are monsters. And they aligned themselves with
the Islamic State, and there's a lot of them doing that.
The next morning, the terrace struck again, this time targeting
(31:36):
Christian farmers in a community near the town of Ouja.
They slaughtered believers who were camped in their farms, a
means of survival for many who live off the land
and sell the crops to earn a daily living. It's
a night of sadness and desolation for Christians. Right now,
(31:58):
the death toll stands at but it's expected to rise.
At the time of the massacre, several people remained unaccounted for,
and Pastor Paluko said, may God come to our rescue
because we are fed up with these killings.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
As usual, the tacks have sent many fleeing to affected
areas following the attack. Those who mustered the courage to
remain spent their nights with host families, and those who
fled the TACK fled to nearby localities. Due to the
continued violence, the DRC as one of the largest displaced
(32:40):
populations in Sub Sahara Africa. In two days and total,
beliast a hundred Christians lost their lives in the DRC
because they chose to follow Jesus in a region that
Islamic extremists want to turn into a calibate God. This
is hard reading. Christians in Sub Saharan Africa are some
(33:05):
of the world's most resilient believers, but the incessant killings
are taking their toll. The massacres are weakening the faith
of Christians. And here's a reverend ally his church has
received Christians fleeing the recent massacre. Last month, it was
massacre after massacre, and in September they were crying out, Lord,
(33:30):
please come to our aid. He adds that Christians who
are in the fields are disoriented. It was the time
when they went to harvest the crop. But look what's
happening to them. We the church, we don't know what
to say or what to do for them. They are
not willing to sleep in the church for fear of
being attacked like those who were killed and awake.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Oh that's so tragic.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
So go to open doors us do or to donate
and to pray for these persecuted brethren. And so please
continue to pray for the believers in the DRC. Pray
for the Lord's comfort for their grieving hearts.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And many of them have lost many family members. And
this is why we read this stuff to let you
know what's going on. Pray for their safety, Pray for
the strength and spirit and heart. Pray for calm in
their hearts and peace in their hearts. Father, I pray
in Jesus' name that you would undertake in the hearts
(34:42):
the lives for these families in the DRC. Lord, deliver
them from these radical Islamis, Make a way for them
and save them. Deliver them. Father. We ask in Jesus'
name I just.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Can't understand, you know, and this never makes the national news.
If this stuff would make the national news, I think
that there would be a lot of people that would
be angry and stand up against it, and maybe something
would truly be done.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Well, you know, that's what you would think. But for
years we've been doing this and we haven't seen one country,
one leader stand up and get a couple of other
countries and form an army and go in there after
these Muslim Jihattis and kill them. That's the only way
(35:47):
you can deal with them is kill him. And it's
just a mess. And they rejoice when they go and
kill innocent people. Most of these people, you know, they
don't carry weapons like these the jihattists, due they've got money.
Many of them come in on four wheelers, are on
(36:07):
a motorcycles and they'll have machine guns and things like that,
and they could just kill a whole bunch of nothing flat.
This is damnable. This is terrible, and it happens all
the time. Yeah, Christian shot dead on his way to
(36:30):
a festival. This is barnabas Ad dot org. This is Pakistan.
A Pakistani man was shot dead and call on his
way to attend an annual Christian festival in the early
hours of Sunday, September seventh. Now Pakistan is another one
(36:51):
and so as Absal Masai, forty six years old, was
traveling with a group of a dozen Christians and a
hired van from Lahore to the festival in mariam Bad.
Mariam Bad, around sixty miles away. I don't know how
to say some of them when the group came under fire.
(37:13):
The shooter was later identified as Mohammad Wakes Hazel leaves
behind his wife aged forty four sons. Barnabasade Partners are
supporting the Grievan family with their immediate needs. The widow
and two of his sons visited by barnabas Ade Partners
(37:34):
after his death. The attack took place around one am
when the group stopped at a repair shop for the
van to have his tires filled with hair, and the
driver asked the passengers to leave the vehicle. A few
minutes later, the government appeared with another rider on a motorcycle.
See that's exactly what they do. Yeah, and he had
(37:57):
an automatic Lashnakoff which is Russian and open fire. Before
they could make their escape and Absoal was shot dead
on the spot and his cousin was shot in the shoulder,
but he survived. Absal's funeral took place later that day,
(38:18):
as is the practice in Pakistan, after the post modem
post mortem had been completed. Eyewitnesses reported that Abshal was
targeted because he had protested that harassment by motorcyclist blocking
the road. According to Barnabas sources, the witnesses told police
(38:39):
they could identify the killer if they saw him again.
They had also seen the shooter taking the attendant of
the tire shop away with him on a bike at gunpoint.
After some time, the suspect returned on the bike and
dropped off the tire workshop attendant and left. The police
(38:59):
order the tire workshop intended to lead them to the
house of the suspected killer. Police raided the suspect's house,
but he escaped to an unknown location. However, police were
able to identify him and they added his name to
the first information report and least released a file photo
of him. You know again, Pray for comfort for these
(39:25):
families and pray for practical aid that will really help them,
and pray for the continued recovery of those who have
been shot. This was Pakistan. All you can do is
shake your head.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Oh, I know, it's just so so tragic, you can't
even there's no words.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
So horrible.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
That's right, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
This is the Prayer Force from Global Christian Relief dot
Org and they're talking about they're praying for the freed
families from the brick Kiln, and so we're praying this
(40:21):
day for the Lord to open the doors through education
and citizenship. With official documents secured, Seed and Ravilla's daughters
can now access education and new opportunities. Pray for their
future to be filled with hope, learning, and growth. He
(40:45):
lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from
the garbage dump. That's Psalm one thirteen, verse seven. Yeah,
that's so tragic.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It is.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Be sure to get your copy of The Rising, a
Christian fiction thriller by The Watchman Dana G. Smith. It's
the book two in the Steel series, and The Rising
continues the story of Mac, a former Black Ops sniper.
His work is secretive and elusive. He is hardcore and
(41:31):
one of the best at what he does. Mac's contacts
in the government are telling him disturbing news here we
find danger and intrigue as he battles to survive the
forces bent on destroying him. The Rising is a story
of deliverance, faith, power, and the inner struggles within as
(41:52):
an evil engulfs all those who face it. You can
get your copy of The Rising on Amazon, Barnes and
Noble Books of a Million, ingram walmart Angus and Robertson,
and The Rising ebook can be found on Google Play.
(42:16):
And this is part two of ICC's work in Somalia.
So it comes to us from Persecution dot org International
Christian Concern. The negative comments quickly poured in, mostly in
the Somali language. Here are a few of the more
(42:38):
incendiary ones we translated. May Allah destroy the people who
are underground. May Alla's curse be upon them. Alla is perfect.
Allah protect the faith of the Somalis. Let's destroy the
church where it is found. Let's fight against it. They
should be burned. If a person leaves the religion of Islam,
(43:02):
they have no place to be sent to the hereafter.
They don't have the right to live, and repentance is closed.
Know that the infidels should be caught and hanged. As
the influencer mentioned in the original article. The original article
included a photo of a veiled woman. The woman, however,
(43:24):
is from another country and the photo was used as
a representative image. Due to threats made against the woman
in the photo on social media, we decided to remove
the picture. We don't want to incite violence against women
in Somalia who may resemble her. We share this information
(43:47):
to help readers understand the severe challenges Somali's face when
they leave Islam to follow Jesus. International Christian Concerns twenty
twenty five Global Persecution Index listed Somali as one of
the most dangerous places to be a Christian. The radical
(44:08):
Islamic group Al Shabab, which is working to create a
caliphate in Somalia, has stated that it will kill any
Christian it might find. In Somali's society, faith and national
identity are deeply intertwined. Those who leave Islam are often
(44:30):
seen as abandoning both their religion and their nationality. As
a result, it is illegal to become a Christian or
share the Gospel. It is also illegal and dangerous to
own a Bible. When someone's Christian faith is discovered, they
are often immediately killed, even by family members. It also
(44:54):
highlights the risks and challenges our workers and those of
other nonprofits responding to Persecution can encounter. Of course, our
prayer is that Somali Muslims, including those who are most
critical of our work and the presence of Christianity in
their country, will learn to the Gospel, that will listen
(45:18):
to the Gospel themselves rather than judge prematurely. More importantly,
we hope that they will take the opportunity to learn
more about the common and understandable misconceptions that Muslims often
have about Christianity. So go to persecution dot org to
(45:41):
donate and help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.
And we pray that our followers will demonstrate the love
of Jesus when they choose to engage with Somali's or
anyone else online. After all, one of Christ's most challenging
commands is that we love everyone. Jesus summed this up
(46:03):
best in Matthew five forty three through forty five. You
have heard that it was said love your neighbor and
hate your enemy. But I tell you love your enemies,
and pray for those who persecute you, that they may
be children of your Father.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
In Heaven.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Amen, So go to persecution dot Org to donate and
help our brothers and sisters in Christ in Somalia. Boy,
I tell you nothing but tragedy after tragedy after tragedy,
and country after country after country.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Well, and think of this, I mean, who's going to
be left? Yeah, So when we talk about Islam making inroads,
you know there is going to be and we're waiting
for the end Anti Christ as we call him, or
the Beast as Revelation calls him. Oh, I don't look
(47:06):
forward to that. No, And so we will find out
whether or not the Beast is Muslim or if he
is going to start his own thing. We already know
a number of things he'll do. But the big issue
(47:29):
here is again, where are those willing you know, getting
in an army whilse he you can't raise it. In
the UK, they've got Muslims everywhere, and there's a number
of nations that are struggling because of heavy Islamic influence
(47:50):
over there. America has Muslims and three states that I
know of, and very radical. So America's going to be
sometime in the future facing a war in here, which
seems almost inevitable unless we get a bunch of them saved.
(48:12):
So at any rate, these are issues.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
The next one Democratic Republic of the Congo from International
Christian Concern go to persecution dot org. The EIGHTF fighters
kill more than seventy This was on before dawn Tuesday.
A devastating attack by the ADF shattered the Congolese Christian community.
(48:49):
And so.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
You already read that. I mean, this is is.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
More, this is this is another post. Okay, sorry, but
I'm reading what should have been a solemn night of
morning turned into a bloodbath. So here it talks about
(49:15):
the ADF fire fighters stormed the gathering open fire without warning. Women,
men and children who only hours earlier were comforting each
other shared sorrow and we're go gun down in cold blood.
(49:35):
The rebels targeted the village early morning, and they brought
death to almost everyone. And that's what they do. So
if they're doing that now, can you imagine when they're
in a global gehat what they're going to do. Resident
evangelist John TUMAINI or MANI my survival it was a
(50:00):
matter of chance. I had passed through the same village
earlier in the night to give my condolences. Only a
few hours later, the Islamic rebel group ADF ambush and
killed many people, and it could have been me. The
violence did not end with the killing. Survivors described how
the attackers, often referred to as butchers, torched everything in
(50:22):
their path. So two trucks for motorcycles, numerous homes, and
so the families who had survived the other attack were
left without a shelter possessions.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Well, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
Local officials dismissed the rumors that the ADF had been
seeking collaboration with the local population, and in the past
months they had learned that the ADF wanted to establish
some form a cohesion and some kind of a collaboration
(51:05):
with the local population. Well if you kill them all,
there ain't gonna be nobody left. But the population was
not an agreement, and so the modus operande of the
eighty up is to kill. Yeah, you know, I mean,
(51:27):
of course it is. That's how they operate and act,
you know, And they wrote, you know it's a terrorist group. Yeah,
we know that. My question again is why can't we
get anybody in, even in the UN. Why doesn't someone
(51:52):
put together an army and stop these people? Nobody does
and all the people they are killing are disarmed, don't
have nothing. They might have spears, a few things, but
not much. These guys come in with proper, their modern weapons.
They're in vehicles, they're on motorcycles, they have some of
them walking in like an army does, and they just
(52:15):
slaughter everybody. We reported on this time and time and
time again. So where are all these people in this
nation and around the world like Russia and China and
North Korea and a bunch of others who would be
(52:42):
willing to deliver innocent people. So a large delegation was
on its way and the Red Cross humanitarian workers spent
(53:05):
Tuesday gathering the bodies of the victims. But it's not
an isolated incident because in August another village had a
similar assault and the ADF did that one as well.
So they're targeting rural Christian communities in the eastern DRC. Now.
(53:35):
Reverend Samuel Kimbali said, our people are being slaughtered simply
because they refused to abandon their faith in their homes.
Yet even in the face of death, we will not
lose hope. We cry for justice, but above all we
cling to Christ, who remains our strength. And refuge am.
(53:57):
Go to persecution dot org and donate to help the
persecuted believers overseas and pray for the persecuted Christians and
the DRC and per their safety from such attacks. Now
(54:19):
we'ren't a little different one This next one, this is
about an Assyrian man. Now we don't do much on
Assyrian because it really doesn't come through. But this guy
was slain in France, in Lion, France, l Yo n
(54:40):
and they suspected an Islamic attack. But he's a forty
five year old disabled Assyrian man. His first name is
Asher and he was killed in his home in the
city of Lion, France on Wednesday evening. Arsher was alive
(55:02):
streaming on social media. That's what he did. He streamed
on social media and someone entered his apartment and began
stabbing him in the throat. In videos shared online from
the stream, blood can be seen pouring from his throat
as he struggles to breathe. What does that remind you
(55:23):
of Charlie Kirk and his throat being blown open from
an assassin's bullet. A witness filmed a person from behind
leaving the scene. A young figure and dark clothing and
(55:43):
a hood on his head, and he's believed to be
the perpetrator of the murder. Originally from another town in Iraq,
he was confined to a wheelchair and known for his
live broadcasts on TikTok about Christianity and religion. There you go.
(56:06):
Many now believe he was killed for comments he made
about Islam in one of his videos still visible on TikTok.
He said his content was regularly blocked in all his
account and his account suspended, claims he attributed to reports
by Muslim users. He received several threatening messages from Muslims
(56:29):
online in the comments his family had Fred fled to
France after the arrival of Isis in twenty fourteen, seeking
safety in a new life. Now, Lyon's deputy for security
denounced what he called an abject crime and expressed hope
that the case would be elugicated as soon as possible.
(57:01):
You know, he was trying to share the gospel, Yes
he was, and you know these things aren't very encouraging.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
No, and they moved to France and that's where he was.
Speaker 1 (57:21):
Killed. I know. It not something. Yeah, well, at any rate,
we're going to have to get out of here.
Speaker 4 (57:34):
Fuzzy Okay, excuse me, Tower, Tower, Well, we want to
thank everybody, want to thank you all for joining us.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
We love you, and we pray for you, and we
always hope the best for you. In Christ Jesus, please
pray for your brothers and sisters on these stories tonight
in Somalia, the Democrats, Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, India.
Speaker 1 (58:05):
And around the world.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
Pray for your brothers and sisters. It's getting very serious,
very very serious, and it's very gut wrenching. It's disturbing.
We know it's going to come to America. We asked,
just ask that you would pray for them and help
(58:26):
them if you can. And we thank you for all
you do for Christ. We love you and please pray
for us as we pray for you. Good Night, everybody, don't.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, I'm doing good. How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'm doing good. Great to be here on this Thursday night.
Do you realize that this is the last Thursday in September?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, it's hard to believe. I know.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Tomorrow's last Friday.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, and October is coming. Yeah, that's unbelievable. Well, so
much for summer. But but we do have a fall.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And it's been nice. We're gonna have eighties this weekend.
That's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah. I don't know. I say this all the time.
It's just time goes by so fast.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah. In a way, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
In a way, I don't like it, but yeah, there's
nothing you can do about it. Yep. Time flies when
you're having fun. And if you ever get on the
internet for anything, much like getting on X. Remember we
(05:54):
have two major sites on X and there's a bit
crowd on both of them, and so we have in
the thousands, and so you can check that out. If
you want to know where they're at, just email us
(06:16):
or contact us somehow. But all you have to do
is search Warren Radio. But at any rate, up front,
I want to cover this. This came in after we
(06:37):
had put the show together, but it's from the a
c l J. You can go to the a c
l J dot org. And the reason I want to
bring this to you is because the a c l
J works now. They're they're Christians, you know, and they
(07:00):
monitor like, for instance, this Islam radical systematically murder or
Radical Islam systematically murders thousands of Christians And this comes
from them at the ACLJ. And I'm bringing this up
just as a reminder. You can go to ACLJ and
(07:23):
donate to help them because they go before major like
the United Nations and also the World Court, and they
work to bring out the issues of the persecuted church.
And in their writing here of all Christians killed worldwide
(07:48):
are in Nigeria. Christians live in a constant state of
terror feature abduction, torture, and murder by radical Islamic Jihatis.
Now see apps we have radical Jihattis in America and
there's a whole bunch of them, and they use the
free speech in America to tell you that when they
(08:10):
take over America, they're going to kill well, what we
call the Kaffirs, the unbelievers, so Boko Haram, which we've
covered quite a bit, the Jihattis army and Nigerian arm
(08:31):
of ISIS has slaughtered innocent Christians. And they have and
this is just their version of what they're trying to
warn about. And so it's not surprising that you have
this going on because make no mistake, Islam is out
to conquer the world. Boko Ram, Let's see, the Jihattis
(08:59):
army in Nigerian arm of ISIS has slaughtered innocent Christians.
It burns down churches, Christian churches. One survivor stated, I
saw bodies in the street, children and women. Some were
crying for help. It even poses as preachers to slaughter
(09:20):
Christian congregants and kidnaps Christian children. Other jihadist groups like
the Tilani herdsmen are increasing this barbaric persecution of Christians
in Nigeria, slaughtering thousands and they do.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That is just gut wrenching, Dana, I can't even imagine
and seeing them laying in the streets and hearing them
cry for help, that would just be more than you
could bear.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah. So now the next part from the ACLJ tells
you what they're doing to try to stop some of this.
So they begin by saying again, every day, thirty five
Nigerian Christians are executed by Islamic radicals. That's every day,
twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You
(10:18):
have this, that's seven thousand believers martyred every year for
their faith in Nigeria alone. In just hours, they say,
we are taking urgent action to defend dying Christians. Just
days ago, six Christians were slaughtered in a nighttime attack
as families went to bed, capping off a summer of horror.
(10:40):
The summer began with the June massacre of two hundred
believers when infants, toddlers, and the elderly were murdered and
thrown into fires. Now, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
No, Oh, dear God.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And so this is just a tip of the tentacle
if they get their way. Fleeing victims were shot a
local church leader describes a situation as a church under
Islamic extermination. Nigerian Christians are being slaughtered while their own
(11:19):
government looks the other way. This unchecked evil demands action,
that's right. So this is what they do. This is
why we support the ACLJ. Today we're delivered an oral
intervention at the UN Human Rights Counsel on behalf of
persecuted Christians in Nigeria. We are exerting unceasing pressure on
(11:42):
Nigeria's president to protect Christians and proved he is not
complicit in the killing. But this is where we need you.
God has called us to defend Christians, whether they are
unjustly on death row or pacing massacre. But this vital
work requires significant reason resources. Donate today to defend dying Christians.
(12:05):
Here you can go to the ACLJ dot org to
donate and help save dying Christian believers. So that's an
urgent message and I take that message very serious.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Now we're entering into our regular portion of the show,
and this is upfront transforming Hope. What we do every
week when we do our shows, we'll bring forth an article,
a post of some kind that is on our websites,
and we feature it to you and tell you a
little bit about it. Transforming hope, And that's by myself,
(12:49):
the watchman Dana Smith. Through the glass darkly, hope and
transformation bring us into the arena of hope and our
Now we need hope, folks, to be sure that today
we are seeing through a glass darkly, but one day
we shall see all things face to face hope in
(13:12):
the transformation from mere human that faces sin, death and
the grave, then to have the ultimate victory over the
same sin, death and the grave through Jesus Christ. Yes,
it is a victory for us, the ultimate victory who
have believed in Christ. It is that hope and knowing
(13:33):
we will see our Lord and be like him, thus
transformed into the children of God, perfectly redeemed in a
perfect redemption. Now that's encouraging. Yes, it is through the
glass darkly, hope and transformation bring us into the arena
of our hope in our future. To be sure that
(13:56):
today we are seeing through that glass darkly, but one
day we're going to see face to face. For us,
the ultimate victory who have believed in Christ, it is
that hope and knowing we will see our Lord and
(14:18):
be like him and transformed into the children of God,
perfectly redeemed in a perfect redemption, as Paul told the
Church of Believers at Corinth. Now we see through a glass,
and that is only darkly, not complete, surely, not knowing
at all on the other side with Christ and being
(14:40):
found in him. But one day, as Paul puts it,
but then face to face, Yes, this is our victory
from the dark, the knowing of our physical body in life.
But then we move into that of a spirit, a
new body, and victory in heaven. Here we are also
to that we shall know even as I am also,
(15:04):
even as also I am known first Corinthians thirteen ten
through thirteen. For now we see through a glass darkly,
but then face to face. Now I know in part,
But then I shall know even as I am known.
(15:26):
But today let us unite our hope in the transformation
which we will have this in our journey, have hope
in Christ Jesus. This has been a look at transforming hope.
Written by myself, the Watchman, Dana Smith. The Warren radio
(15:50):
shows are hosted by the Watchman Dana G. Smith and Tower,
who is co host. We are the WYBR Warren Radio
websites and minutes an in depth Biblical teaching preaching warning agency.
In these last days, all scripture quoted as King James
version of the Bible less it is noted to be
(16:12):
another version. The work in ministry of the wibr Warren
Radio is about the testimony of Jesus Christ, through the
faith of Jesus Christ, by the mercy of God our Father,
through his grace extended flowing from the love of God
to all people everywhere, commanding everyone to repent. So go
(16:35):
to Dana Glennsmith dot com and look for the article
Transforming Hope and check it out. It's on the websites.
And now we move forward. Prayer and intervention is needed.
(17:11):
You see, there's a crackdown on Christianity in India and
the believers go through this quite a bit. In the
last few days, the new anti conversion law went into
(17:31):
effect and Hindu majority a tar well, let's say in India.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
A tar canned India, a tari can something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, I haven't seen that one. That's a new province.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
An amendment to what's called the Freedom of Religion Bill
actually threatens the religious freedom of our Christian family. There.
The law makes portraying the practice as rituals and ceremonies
of any religion or any integral part thereof in a
prejudicial manner in relation to any other religion, or glorifying
(18:10):
one religion as against another illegal. Essentially, the amendment outlaws
speaking ill or praising of any one religion over another.
Even share in one's faith on social media could result
in fines and imprisonment. These changes come with harsher enforcement,
(18:31):
including arrests without warrants, imprisonment without bail if the courts
aren't convinced of innocent or the likelihood of offending. One
of our trusted partners have shared the immediate impact of
this law and quote this has certainly changed things for
(18:52):
pastors and Christians in the say in the state of
utter and Yeah, many of them have deleted their social
media I have heard of some who plan to leave
the state as well. No one is willing to come
forward and speak about it because of fear. Yeah. Another
(19:15):
partner highlighted the broader implications, fearing a ripple effect across India.
Certainly this is going to affect the house church movement
there initially, Later the established church there will be affected
as the amendment does talk about seizing properties. So even
a false case will be enough to do so.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And you know there will be some.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah. Yet even in these trials, the spirit of Christ
shines through our partner, affirmed with fearless faith. No matter
what the effects of this, the work will go on,
persecutions of part of Christian life for the greater or small.
We need to be careful. But if it comes, praise Lord.
His name is Glorifoyd, no matter what. Now, this powerful
(20:03):
testimony reminds us that our God is sovereign even in
the face of adversity. Now, our brothers and sisters in
Atara can need your prayers. Be sure to take a
moment to pray for them and pray a little every
day about them. So go to Global Christian Relief dot
(20:24):
org and you can donate to help them. Help our
persecuted brethren in Christ who are facing trouble in India.
And as you're praying, be sure to pray for courage
and protection. Pray for the pastors and Christian leaders there
for divine protection and courage continue sharing the Gospel despite threats.
(20:49):
Pray for divine wisdom and provision and protection for believing
because they have to navigate these new laws, and especially
for congregations who would face potential long court trials and property.
(21:12):
Pray for God's provision for those who may be forced
to relocate her and do her legal battles. Pray for
steadfast faith in God's glory and pray that the faith
of the Christians there will remain unshakable. Pray that through
every challenge God's name will be glorified. The Gospel continue

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yes, Amen, I stand in agreement. With you.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Okay, that's awful.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
It is.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's gut wrenching. All this stuff it's going on around
the world of persecution of Christians is just almost more
than you can take. You know, my heart goes out
all these people people and the suffering and the fear
and the horror, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Awful. Well it does, you know, I mean, it is,
and it never is. We've been doing these shows for
a long time and it never goes away.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It just gets worse and worse. It waxes worse and worse.
So you know that we're in the end of the
end of the end.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Days we do, we do absolutely. And in America, America's
threatened by Muslims, the UK is threatened by Muslims. There's
a lot of Muslim groups and various nations ready to
take it over. So be sure you understand if you're
not right with the Lord, get right with the Lord.
You need to fast and pray. You need to wake
(23:47):
up to the time. Unfortunately here in America there's many
who are asleep. In America, we have various challenges, a
lot of hard, tuugh challenges here and nation that was
founded on the Word of God and freedom it's hard
to believe how messed up this country is. Amen, But
(24:08):
thanks that we've got a strong administration in President Trump
and all of his team. But anyway, go ahead tower, Okay,
you ready?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yes? This is ic'es ic see Internet Our work in
Somalia Part one, So persecution dot org. This story comes
to us from persecution dot org International Christian Concern and
(24:39):
a recent article we posted on our website about Christian
persecution in Somalia and our support for the underground church
there went viral, sparking both positive and negative reactions. The
articles serving the Hidden Church in Somalia was originally published
(24:59):
in Excuse Me. It received the usual responses on our Facebook,
Instagram and x accounts, expressions of sadness for what our
brothers and sisters in christ endure in Somalia, promises to
keep them in prayer, and a desire to help them. However,
(25:21):
shortly after we recently reposted the article, a Muslim Somali
influencer named Ahmed Shoghi Shogi shared it on his TikTok account.
It garnered more than one point four million views, more
(25:42):
than sixty two thousand likes, and more than twenty four
thousand shares. He also shared it on other social media channels.
Here's a translation of what he said in his video.
There's a Christian organization called International Christian Concern and many
others who are reaching out to the underground Christian community
(26:05):
in Mogadishu. This organization said that the number of Christians
in Mogadishu alone is fifteen hundred. Although these small Somali
Christians are hidden in the community and they fear persecution,
and this organization said they are helping their needs and
already have visited their underground Christian community and they have
(26:29):
set up safe houses and praying for the and paying
for the rent and food for some for some. The
leader in Mogadishu. So if you don't know what's going
on in the country, you can see more Christian reports
about Somalia if you google this page International Christian Concern
(26:51):
website and you will see how much Christian in our
country and how they are hiding inside Mogadishu. We must
be aware and protect our vulnerable people like women and
children in the poor and the poor people who are
being targeted by these Christian organizations. And like this woman
(27:12):
in her photo on the page, there are many women
like her who are living in Mogadishu. Did you hear
get that, Dana, that he wants to protect these vulnerable
people like women and children and the poor people who
are being targeted by these Christian organizations. So you can
(27:36):
go to persecution dot org to help to donate and
help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. And we
also pray that our followers will demonstrate the love of
Jesus when they choose to engage with Somali's or anyone
else online. After all, one of Christ's most challenging commands
(28:01):
is that we love one everyone. Jesus sums it up
best in Matthew five forty three and through forty five.
You have heard that it was said love your neighbor
and hate your enemy. But I tell you love your
enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you
may be children of your Father in heaven. And that
(28:24):
was part one, and now back to you.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
We are in the Democratic Republic with Condo of the Congo,
and there was one hundred plus Christians killed in two days.
This comes from open doors US dot org. That's open
doors US dot org. They had come to pay tribute
(28:52):
to one of their church members who had recently passed. Now,
this is horrible. At nine pm on Mondays, Timber eighth
Christians in the Toyo village gathered at a funeral service
in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. But what
was supposed to be a peaceful gathering of believers mourning
(29:13):
together ended in bloodshed as militants attacked with guns, mostly
with machete. By the time the militants left, seventy Christians
were dead, one hundred kidnapped, in sixteen houses were burned
to the ground. You know, for the life of me,
(29:35):
I can't figure out why they get away with this stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I know, it's just astounding.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You know, it's nuts and so a night of sadness
and desolation for Christians. Now. Pastor Pluku said they arrived
and started killing. Well, that was Reverend Mambula Samaki of
(30:11):
a church in another area. Those who tried to flee
were shot dead. Others were killed with machetes. A parish
priest and that is the Peluko I talked earlier, described
the scenes he saw when he went to the side.
(30:31):
It's horrible what I saw. Bodies of women on mattresses
in the living room, others on the corridor, still others
outside in the plot. Some bodies were on the road
in plots close to the center. They killed almost all
the people gathered at the place for mourning. The leader
(30:53):
of the church in the area narrowly escaped, having just
left the village. I had passed through Natoya, he told
an open doors local field partner. After less than thirty
minutes we heard about to attack. God still has a
mission for me, but this would only be the beginning
of the killing spree by the eighty of the Allied
(31:15):
Democratic forces. Now these people beyond me. Why they column
the Democratic forces? Yeah, we have reported on them all
over and these are monsters. And they aligned themselves with
the Islamic State, and there's a lot of them doing that.
The next morning, the terrace struck again, this time targeting
(31:36):
Christian farmers in a community near the town of Ouja.
They slaughtered believers who were camped in their farms, a
means of survival for many who live off the land
and sell the crops to earn a daily living. It's
a night of sadness and desolation for Christians. Right now,
(31:58):
the death toll stands at but it's expected to rise.
At the time of the massacre, several people remained unaccounted for,
and Pastor Paluko said, may God come to our rescue
because we are fed up with these killings.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
As usual, the tacks have sent many fleeing to affected
areas following the attack. Those who mustered the courage to
remain spent their nights with host families, and those who
fled the TACK fled to nearby localities. Due to the
continued violence, the DRC as one of the largest displaced
(32:40):
populations in Sub Sahara Africa. In two days and total,
beliast a hundred Christians lost their lives in the DRC
because they chose to follow Jesus in a region that
Islamic extremists want to turn into a calibate God. This
is hard reading. Christians in Sub Saharan Africa are some
(33:05):
of the world's most resilient believers, but the incessant killings
are taking their toll. The massacres are weakening the faith
of Christians. And here's a reverend ally his church has
received Christians fleeing the recent massacre. Last month, it was
massacre after massacre, and in September they were crying out, Lord,
(33:30):
please come to our aid. He adds that Christians who
are in the fields are disoriented. It was the time
when they went to harvest the crop. But look what's
happening to them. We the church, we don't know what
to say or what to do for them. They are
not willing to sleep in the church for fear of
being attacked like those who were killed and awake.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Oh that's so tragic.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
So go to open doors us do or to donate
and to pray for these persecuted brethren. And so please
continue to pray for the believers in the DRC. Pray
for the Lord's comfort for their grieving hearts.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And many of them have lost many family members. And
this is why we read this stuff to let you
know what's going on. Pray for their safety, Pray for
the strength and spirit and heart. Pray for calm in
their hearts and peace in their hearts. Father, I pray
in Jesus' name that you would undertake in the hearts
(34:42):
the lives for these families in the DRC. Lord, deliver
them from these radical Islamis, Make a way for them
and save them. Deliver them. Father. We ask in Jesus'
name I just.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Can't understand, you know, and this never makes the national news.
If this stuff would make the national news, I think
that there would be a lot of people that would
be angry and stand up against it, and maybe something
would truly be done.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Well, you know, that's what you would think. But for
years we've been doing this and we haven't seen one country,
one leader stand up and get a couple of other
countries and form an army and go in there after
these Muslim Jihattis and kill them. That's the only way
(35:47):
you can deal with them is kill him. And it's
just a mess. And they rejoice when they go and
kill innocent people. Most of these people, you know, they
don't carry weapons like these the jihattists, due they've got money.
Many of them come in on four wheelers, are on
(36:07):
a motorcycles and they'll have machine guns and things like that,
and they could just kill a whole bunch of nothing flat.
This is damnable. This is terrible, and it happens all
the time. Yeah, Christian shot dead on his way to
(36:30):
a festival. This is barnabas Ad dot org. This is Pakistan.
A Pakistani man was shot dead and call on his
way to attend an annual Christian festival in the early
hours of Sunday, September seventh. Now Pakistan is another one
(36:51):
and so as Absal Masai, forty six years old, was
traveling with a group of a dozen Christians and a
hired van from Lahore to the festival in mariam Bad.
Mariam Bad, around sixty miles away. I don't know how
to say some of them when the group came under fire.
(37:13):
The shooter was later identified as Mohammad Wakes Hazel leaves
behind his wife aged forty four sons. Barnabasade Partners are
supporting the Grievan family with their immediate needs. The widow
and two of his sons visited by barnabas Ade Partners
(37:34):
after his death. The attack took place around one am
when the group stopped at a repair shop for the
van to have his tires filled with hair, and the
driver asked the passengers to leave the vehicle. A few
minutes later, the government appeared with another rider on a motorcycle.
See that's exactly what they do. Yeah, and he had
(37:57):
an automatic Lashnakoff which is Russian and open fire. Before
they could make their escape and Absoal was shot dead
on the spot and his cousin was shot in the shoulder,
but he survived. Absal's funeral took place later that day,
(38:18):
as is the practice in Pakistan, after the post modem
post mortem had been completed. Eyewitnesses reported that Abshal was
targeted because he had protested that harassment by motorcyclist blocking
the road. According to Barnabas sources, the witnesses told police
(38:39):
they could identify the killer if they saw him again.
They had also seen the shooter taking the attendant of
the tire shop away with him on a bike at gunpoint.
After some time, the suspect returned on the bike and
dropped off the tire workshop attendant and left. The police
(38:59):
order the tire workshop intended to lead them to the
house of the suspected killer. Police raided the suspect's house,
but he escaped to an unknown location. However, police were
able to identify him and they added his name to
the first information report and least released a file photo
of him. You know again, Pray for comfort for these
(39:25):
families and pray for practical aid that will really help them,
and pray for the continued recovery of those who have
been shot. This was Pakistan. All you can do is
shake your head.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Oh, I know, it's just so so tragic, you can't
even there's no words.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
So horrible.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
That's right, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
This is the Prayer Force from Global Christian Relief dot
Org and they're talking about they're praying for the freed
families from the brick Kiln, and so we're praying this
(40:21):
day for the Lord to open the doors through education
and citizenship. With official documents secured, Seed and Ravilla's daughters
can now access education and new opportunities. Pray for their
future to be filled with hope, learning, and growth. He
(40:45):
lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from
the garbage dump. That's Psalm one thirteen, verse seven. Yeah,
that's so tragic.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It is.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Be sure to get your copy of The Rising, a
Christian fiction thriller by The Watchman Dana G. Smith. It's
the book two in the Steel series, and The Rising
continues the story of Mac, a former Black Ops sniper.
His work is secretive and elusive. He is hardcore and
(41:31):
one of the best at what he does. Mac's contacts
in the government are telling him disturbing news here we
find danger and intrigue as he battles to survive the
forces bent on destroying him. The Rising is a story
of deliverance, faith, power, and the inner struggles within as
(41:52):
an evil engulfs all those who face it. You can
get your copy of The Rising on Amazon, Barnes and
Noble Books of a Million, ingram walmart Angus and Robertson,
and The Rising ebook can be found on Google Play.
(42:16):
And this is part two of ICC's work in Somalia.
So it comes to us from Persecution dot org International
Christian Concern. The negative comments quickly poured in, mostly in
the Somali language. Here are a few of the more
(42:38):
incendiary ones we translated. May Allah destroy the people who
are underground. May Alla's curse be upon them. Alla is perfect.
Allah protect the faith of the Somalis. Let's destroy the
church where it is found. Let's fight against it. They
should be burned. If a person leaves the religion of Islam,
(43:02):
they have no place to be sent to the hereafter.
They don't have the right to live, and repentance is closed.
Know that the infidels should be caught and hanged. As
the influencer mentioned in the original article. The original article
included a photo of a veiled woman. The woman, however,
(43:24):
is from another country and the photo was used as
a representative image. Due to threats made against the woman
in the photo on social media, we decided to remove
the picture. We don't want to incite violence against women
in Somalia who may resemble her. We share this information
(43:47):
to help readers understand the severe challenges Somali's face when
they leave Islam to follow Jesus. International Christian Concerns twenty
twenty five Global Persecution Index listed Somali as one of
the most dangerous places to be a Christian. The radical
(44:08):
Islamic group Al Shabab, which is working to create a
caliphate in Somalia, has stated that it will kill any
Christian it might find. In Somali's society, faith and national
identity are deeply intertwined. Those who leave Islam are often
(44:30):
seen as abandoning both their religion and their nationality. As
a result, it is illegal to become a Christian or
share the Gospel. It is also illegal and dangerous to
own a Bible. When someone's Christian faith is discovered, they
are often immediately killed, even by family members. It also
(44:54):
highlights the risks and challenges our workers and those of
other nonprofits responding to Persecution can encounter. Of course, our
prayer is that Somali Muslims, including those who are most
critical of our work and the presence of Christianity in
their country, will learn to the Gospel, that will listen
(45:18):
to the Gospel themselves rather than judge prematurely. More importantly,
we hope that they will take the opportunity to learn
more about the common and understandable misconceptions that Muslims often
have about Christianity. So go to persecution dot org to
(45:41):
donate and help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.
And we pray that our followers will demonstrate the love
of Jesus when they choose to engage with Somali's or
anyone else online. After all, one of Christ's most challenging
commands is that we love everyone. Jesus summed this up
(46:03):
best in Matthew five forty three through forty five. You
have heard that it was said love your neighbor and
hate your enemy. But I tell you love your enemies,
and pray for those who persecute you, that they may
be children of your Father.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
In Heaven.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Amen, So go to persecution dot Org to donate and
help our brothers and sisters in Christ in Somalia. Boy,
I tell you nothing but tragedy after tragedy after tragedy,
and country after country after country.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Well, and think of this, I mean, who's going to
be left? Yeah, So when we talk about Islam making inroads,
you know there is going to be and we're waiting
for the end Anti Christ as we call him, or
the Beast as Revelation calls him. Oh, I don't look
(47:06):
forward to that. No, And so we will find out
whether or not the Beast is Muslim or if he
is going to start his own thing. We already know
a number of things he'll do. But the big issue
(47:29):
here is again, where are those willing you know, getting
in an army whilse he you can't raise it. In
the UK, they've got Muslims everywhere, and there's a number
of nations that are struggling because of heavy Islamic influence
(47:50):
over there. America has Muslims and three states that I
know of, and very radical. So America's going to be
sometime in the future facing a war in here, which
seems almost inevitable unless we get a bunch of them saved.
(48:12):
So at any rate, these are issues.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
The next one Democratic Republic of the Congo from International
Christian Concern go to persecution dot org. The EIGHTF fighters
kill more than seventy This was on before dawn Tuesday.
A devastating attack by the ADF shattered the Congolese Christian community.
(48:49):
And so.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
You already read that. I mean, this is is.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
More, this is this is another post. Okay, sorry, but
I'm reading what should have been a solemn night of
morning turned into a bloodbath. So here it talks about
(49:15):
the ADF fire fighters stormed the gathering open fire without warning. Women,
men and children who only hours earlier were comforting each
other shared sorrow and we're go gun down in cold blood.
(49:35):
The rebels targeted the village early morning, and they brought
death to almost everyone. And that's what they do. So
if they're doing that now, can you imagine when they're
in a global gehat what they're going to do. Resident
evangelist John TUMAINI or MANI my survival it was a
(50:00):
matter of chance. I had passed through the same village
earlier in the night to give my condolences. Only a
few hours later, the Islamic rebel group ADF ambush and
killed many people, and it could have been me. The
violence did not end with the killing. Survivors described how
the attackers, often referred to as butchers, torched everything in
(50:22):
their path. So two trucks for motorcycles, numerous homes, and
so the families who had survived the other attack were
left without a shelter possessions.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Well, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
Local officials dismissed the rumors that the ADF had been
seeking collaboration with the local population, and in the past
months they had learned that the ADF wanted to establish
some form a cohesion and some kind of a collaboration
(51:05):
with the local population. Well if you kill them all,
there ain't gonna be nobody left. But the population was
not an agreement, and so the modus operande of the
eighty up is to kill. Yeah, you know, I mean,
(51:27):
of course it is. That's how they operate and act,
you know, And they wrote, you know it's a terrorist group. Yeah,
we know that. My question again is why can't we
get anybody in, even in the UN. Why doesn't someone
(51:52):
put together an army and stop these people? Nobody does
and all the people they are killing are disarmed, don't
have nothing. They might have spears, a few things, but
not much. These guys come in with proper, their modern weapons.
They're in vehicles, they're on motorcycles, they have some of
them walking in like an army does, and they just
(52:15):
slaughter everybody. We reported on this time and time and
time again. So where are all these people in this
nation and around the world like Russia and China and
North Korea and a bunch of others who would be
(52:42):
willing to deliver innocent people. So a large delegation was
on its way and the Red Cross humanitarian workers spent
(53:05):
Tuesday gathering the bodies of the victims. But it's not
an isolated incident because in August another village had a
similar assault and the ADF did that one as well.
So they're targeting rural Christian communities in the eastern DRC. Now.
(53:35):
Reverend Samuel Kimbali said, our people are being slaughtered simply
because they refused to abandon their faith in their homes.
Yet even in the face of death, we will not
lose hope. We cry for justice, but above all we
cling to Christ, who remains our strength. And refuge am.
(53:57):
Go to persecution dot org and donate to help the
persecuted believers overseas and pray for the persecuted Christians and
the DRC and per their safety from such attacks. Now
(54:19):
we'ren't a little different one This next one, this is
about an Assyrian man. Now we don't do much on
Assyrian because it really doesn't come through. But this guy
was slain in France, in Lion, France, l Yo n
(54:40):
and they suspected an Islamic attack. But he's a forty
five year old disabled Assyrian man. His first name is
Asher and he was killed in his home in the
city of Lion, France on Wednesday evening. Arsher was alive
(55:02):
streaming on social media. That's what he did. He streamed
on social media and someone entered his apartment and began
stabbing him in the throat. In videos shared online from
the stream, blood can be seen pouring from his throat
as he struggles to breathe. What does that remind you
(55:23):
of Charlie Kirk and his throat being blown open from
an assassin's bullet. A witness filmed a person from behind
leaving the scene. A young figure and dark clothing and
(55:43):
a hood on his head, and he's believed to be
the perpetrator of the murder. Originally from another town in Iraq,
he was confined to a wheelchair and known for his
live broadcasts on TikTok about Christianity and religion. There you go.
(56:06):
Many now believe he was killed for comments he made
about Islam in one of his videos still visible on TikTok.
He said his content was regularly blocked in all his
account and his account suspended, claims he attributed to reports
by Muslim users. He received several threatening messages from Muslims
(56:29):
online in the comments his family had Fred fled to
France after the arrival of Isis in twenty fourteen, seeking
safety in a new life. Now, Lyon's deputy for security
denounced what he called an abject crime and expressed hope
that the case would be elugicated as soon as possible.
(57:01):
You know, he was trying to share the gospel, Yes
he was, and you know these things aren't very encouraging.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
No, and they moved to France and that's where he was.
Speaker 1 (57:21):
Killed. I know. It not something. Yeah, well, at any rate,
we're going to have to get out of here.
Speaker 4 (57:34):
Fuzzy Okay, excuse me, Tower, Tower, Well, we want to
thank everybody, want to thank you all for joining us.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
We love you, and we pray for you, and we
always hope the best for you. In Christ Jesus, please
pray for your brothers and sisters on these stories tonight
in Somalia, the Democrats, Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, India.
Speaker 1 (58:05):
And around the world.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
Pray for your brothers and sisters. It's getting very serious,
very very serious, and it's very gut wrenching. It's disturbing.
We know it's going to come to America. We asked,
just ask that you would pray for them and help
(58:26):
them if you can. And we thank you for all
you do for Christ. We love you and please pray
for us as we pray for you. Good Night, everybody, don't.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
