Last evening at sundown, the Jewish 8-day festival of lights Chanukka began - the victoy of light over darkness! The continuation of this celebration, which also Jesus attended (John 10,22), is He Himself, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life", Johan 8,12!

These horror infos on persecuted and torted Christians come in at an ever faster speed and quantity. I simply can't believe what people are able doing... A particularly shocking case is the arrest of an Egyptian female Christian at an airport, who was then raped by security officials. Also her kids were arrested and not given food to force their mom to reconvert to Islam... And in Pakistan officials allow Muslims to demolish Christians homes and evict the families in order to build an animal stable...
December 19, 2008
Two more sad news on Christians being persecuted: 1) The so-called 'peaceful' Buddhism turns out not to be so peaceful at all: Clerics in Bangladesh take Christians captive. 2) A renewed government compaign is arresting Christians nationwide in Eritrea.
December 12, 2008
I have created a new link to your left: "Messianic". In these present times, more and more Christians world-wide are discovering their Jewish faith roots. Also I am discovering them - God is leading me in this already quite some time! It is like really coming home!

The newly elect government on the Maldives in the Indian Ocean is far more religiously intolerant than the previous government. In view of the many tourists that are flocking the islands without caring too much for the daily problems of the Maldive population, this article on a blocked Christian website is particularly on my heart.

PRAYER ALERT: Pakistan is on a precipice - the church is at risk. It is spreading over even to big cities like the capital Islamabad. Please pass this info on and pray fervently!
PRAYER ALERT: So sad to mention yet another prayer alert... In Indian Orissa state, extremists demand of government to stop all Christian activities. If not done so by mid December, they threaten to bring the state to a complete hault by a strike of transport and commerce on December 25.
But as to Matthew 24, where Jesus predicts severe persecution on one hand, He also predicts a global spreading of the gospel. And this time, God used Luís Palau and his son who both held a huge evangelization in Southern Mexico where 150,000 joined!
November 18, 2008
PRAYER ALERT: An Iraqi Christian bishop has recveived a letter by a Muslim group ording all Christians to leave the country immediately.

The Persecution of Christians in China have intensified after the Olympics... The concessions made to China before the games now only prove to have been market oriented interests. It's worth pondering the worldwide present financial crisis under those aspects.

Pastor Paul was healed from leukemia but the hard medical treatments now have caused a liver cirrhosis. I ask you to take him and his family into your prayers, for complete healing and also for financial help, since as of now they don't have any income and the medical treatments have caused a financial crisis.
August 5, 2008
Not even three weeks after Saudi Arabian king Abdullah publically called for reconciliation among the various religions at an interfaith conference in Madrid, the country is about to deport 15 Christians for having prayed in a private home, which proves the king's speech as deceitful to the international community.

From one of the online groups that I am in, I received a very good Bible study yesterday: "Harvest Principles" by Evangelist Earl Adams from Germantown, Tennessee, who gave me permisson to upload his close look at how things happened between Jesus and the woman at the well!

The son of a Hamas leader has turned to Christ and is now warning Jews of Palestinans.
Shortly before the Olympics, China hasn't complied with any regulation concerning human rights and freedom for foreign journalists. Openly, the government is ridiculing the whole world. In the run-up to the Games, a Beijing Christian bookstore owner, who was imprisoned 4 months ago, is deteriorating healthwise, no help being given to him.
July 23rd, 2008
This here is sad, in fact it's a scandal: a Pakistani court says that the recent forced conversion of two kidnapped little Christian girls is legal... I must admit I don't have words for this, only a cry to God for help...
July 22nd, 2008
This here is indeed some fantastic news about what God is doing: In La Plata, close to Agentina's capitol Buenos Aires, there is a prison full of Christians! Well, not that Christians would have done something to get in there, but prisons from all over the country are sending their inmates there, who while serving their prison terms have given their lives to Jesus! Several years ago, I have met the pastor whom God used in initiating this! It is simply amazing!

God is moving so mightily these days and yet - the enemy is trying to pull it down by sowing strife between Christians... Please read with an open heart this article by J. Lee Grady "Can We Avoid A Charismatic Civil War?", of which I am sure that he wrote it with a bleeding heart.
July 6, 2008
Those of you who are 40+ years old will most probably remember the Pulitzer winning photo of a naked Vietnamnese child running from her napalm hit burning village.

On his trip to the US, Pastor Jobst Bittner from South Germany was invited yesterday to preach at Messianic Church Baruch Ha'Shem ("Praise God") in Dallas, Texas. Listen to the audio recording of his sermon in which he explains in a very descriptive way why we Europeans so often are facing difficulties in our faith. To me, it was sort of a light bulb moment! Enjoy!
June 14, 2008

May 28, 2008
A priest-in-training and current lay member of the Anglican General Synod boldly calls for evangelization in the UK. Good to hear someone talk out like this here in Europe!

God's reality and miraculous work becomes more widely recognized as it seems: at the 5th International Medical Conference in Norway this week, participants of over 38 nations agreed that 'spiritual healing' is a remedy needed.
Please don't forget about our persecuted brothers and sisters. Especially these days where God is working greatly on one hand, persecution is increasing strongly on the other hand. Jesus has predicted it, read Matthews 24. Here in this sublink you find some information about certain cases - please take them into your prayers!
Here we have another wow-article! When Val Thomas from West Virginia was found last week, she was dead, her body already stiff with rigor mortus... God brought her back to life!!! Read the article and watch the AP-video! Praise our good Lord, slowly but steadily, news like this one cannot be ignored any longer by the secular media!

Unfortunately, when God is moving mightily, there are always those who think they have to "warn" of that. Now those accusers also come up against what God is doing through Todd Bentley in Lakeland. J.Lee Grady of Charisma Magazine has a good word for them!

Here you can read more of the super exciting details. But no matter how fascinating the miracles that I am privileged to witness live over the internet - it is not about them, it is about about the evangelist nor is it about the hosting church; it is only about Jesus! His return is not far anymore!

Happy Easter! To me, the greatest thing of all is that because of Jesus' resurrection I know what is going to happen with me after I die. This is something I am really looking forward to!!!
This year, the Easter season is a special one as on one hand, it is as early as it wasn't in almost 100 years and on the other hand, Good Friday falls together with the Jewish Purim celebration, which commemorates the voctory over their enemies as to the Scripture book of Esther. Well and at the cross, Jesus won victory over satan!!!
March 12, 2008
Kim Clement gives a great compend of how we can hear God's voice in our own lives!
I ask all of you to forgive my not being up-to-date these times (yet, there is so much to read in here, anyway). First of all, I'm quite busy with some new translation assignments (praise God for it, that's good), but then I'm passing through some very hard and painful times which make it difficult for me to concentrate in here. Whoever can and feels like it is welcome to help me pray as the Spirit leads, thank you already in advance!
