Londinium 91 AD: Corruption and the Imperial Slip. Gaius and Germanicus shift attention to Washington, observing that wealth has grown more powerful than government in the U.S., similar to Rome's path into empire. Evidence includes Washington insiders like Rudy Giuliani and Hunter Biden allegedly operating on payrolls of corrupt foreign interests such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Republicans typically avoid registering foreign work under the Foreign Agents Registration Act by using cutouts or undocumented money, while Democrats use think tanks during interregnums, making the process so transparent it suggests everybody's in on the game. Insiders are even willing to work for adversaries like sanctioned Russian arms makers or the Taliban under the justification of private diplomacy. Germanicusanalyzes this decline through three vantages: the Gilded Age, where corporations owned government but lacked today's foreign entanglement; foreign penetration, where adversaries and allies like Israel, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have enormous leverage; and irreconcilable ideological conflict, where corruption fuels severe ideological struggle tearing away the rule of law. They conclude that the transition into an emperor system is subtle and happens without notice, weakening the system when corruption damages trust. SULLA

This afternoon, the Home Secretary will set out in the House of Commons her proposed reforms to the asylum system. The headline changes proposed by Shabana Mahmood have been well briefed in the weekend press: refugees will have temporary status and be required to reapply to remain in Britain every two-and-a-half years; those arriving would have to wait 20 years before they can apply for permanent settlement; and countries that refuse to take back migrants will be threatened with visa bans – Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are among those likely to be initially punished. Is she the one to finally take on the migration crisis?Lucy Dunn speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Truth and Love stand as two important factors to winning as a believer. We are taught it's value to God throughout scripture, but it is also necessary to overcome in daily life. For safety, peace of mind, and discernment, both Love and truth make it possible to live as an overcomer in Christ. We will look at practical ways we overcome in Christ using both truth and Love to win.Join #Lovewalk online & on #socialmedia.

Frederic Mousseau and DRC colleagues On today's show, independent policy think tank the Oakland Institute has come out with a new report about land grabbing and mineral grabbing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo entitled, “Shafted: The Scramble for Minerals in the DRC”.  I'll speak to policy director Frederic Mousseau about the findings from their in depth report. The post Mineral Grab in The DRC appeared first on KPFA.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo's foreign minister tells Al Jazeera that Rwanda's actions on the ground cast doubt on its commitment to a peace process aimed at ending decades of conflict in eastern Congo. Therese Kayikwamba Wagner says a planned presidential meeting remains stalled, with foreign troops still on Congolese territory and abuses continuing despite diplomatic efforts. She argues that meaningful progress depends on real leverage from international facilitators, the United States, Qatar and regional partners, to hold both sides accountable and push the process toward a credible, lasting agreement.

In this Bible study we look at some of the benefits of a relationship with Christ and how God's nature is committed to our good.

Maud Kells was born in Northern Ireland and grew up on a farm where church was more of a tradition than a heartfelt commitment. After coming to faith in Christ, she shocked her parents by announcing her call to the mission field.When it came time for her placement, Maud asked to go to one of the most dangerous and unstable countries in the world — the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite facing rebel attacks, robberies, and primitive conditions, Maud flourished among the Congolese people she came to love so deeply.Her story is a powerful reminder of what God can do through a life fully surrendered to Him.

Burundi is East Africa's best-kept secret, a mountainous jewel wedged between the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Tanzania. This landlocked nation may be one of the world's smallest countries, but it packs extraordinary biodiversity, ancient kingdoms, and some of the planet's finest tea into its compact borders. Known as the "Heart of Africa" for its central location, Burundi offers intrepid travelers pristine national parks, sacred drumming traditions, and a resilient culture shaped by both triumph and turbulence.Love the pod?

It's Wednesday, November 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Vulnerable Asian and African girls kidnapped, abused, converted to Islam Christian women and girls are easy targets for persecution in South Asian and African nations. Last Tuesday, a panel at the World Evangelical Alliance's 14th General Assembly shared details. For example, girls in Nigeria, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are often kidnapped, abused, and forced to convert to Islam. Even if they escape, they often face rejection after returning to their families, communities, or churches.  The panel called for better care for the women and girls subjected to such persecution. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Finnish stateswoman on trial again for affirming Biblical sexuality Speaking of persecuted women, a Christian woman in Finland is on trial for posting online about her biblical views on marriage and sexuality.  Last Thursday, the country's Supreme Court heard the case of Päivi Räsänen, a 65-year-old Finnish Member of Parliament. The state prosecution of her religious expression continues despite lower courts clearing her of wrongdoing. Listen to her recent comments to CitizenGo.  RÄSÄNEN: “This has been my calling. This has been some kind of privilege, to defend these very crucial values, to defend the freedom of speech and freedom of faith, because that is what we need just now. And also to bring the teachings of the Bible in public.” Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola is also on trial in the case. He said, “I think it is important that Christians continue to be able to defend Christian marriage and the Christian view of humanity without fear.” In 2 Thessalonians 1:8, the Apostle Paul wrote “Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the Gospel according to the power of God.” 40 Days for Life has saved 25,000 babies from abortion 40 Days for Life completed its latest campaign on Sunday. Pro-lifers mobilized for vigils in 671 cities worldwide for the last 40 days.  Shawn Carney, president of the pro-life group, said, “Thanks to your prayers and God's generosity, we continue to receive reports of babies who were scheduled to be aborted--but are instead alive and well!” In some cities, vigils are continuing year-round through the 40 Days for Life 365 initiative. Since 2007, 40 Days for Life has saved over 25,000 babies from abortion.  Former Vice President Dick Cheney died In the United States, former Vice President Dick Cheney died on Monday at the age of 84. His family said in a statement that he died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.  The statement noted, “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing.” Sadly, Cheney supported homosexual faux marriage because his daughter, Mary Cheney, married her lesbian lover, Heather Poe. Cheney was known as one of the most influential vice presidents in U.S. history. He served as vice president under both terms of President George W. Bush. He was a key yet controversial leader in the “War on Terror” following the 9/11 terrorists attacks. Cheney was a member of the United Methodist Church. He was also the first Methodist vice president to serve under a Methodist president. U.S. Episcopal Church shrinking for anti-Biblical stances The U.S. Episcopal Church released its 2024 Parochial Report last month. And it's not good news. Not surprisingly, the mainline Protestant denomination reported fewer baptisms and a drop in the total number of parishes -- no doubt the result of the Episcopal Church's rejection of Biblical authority and an embrace of sodomy and baby killing through abortion. Worship attendance did increase last year, but is still down compared to a decade ago. At its rate of decline, the denomination could have no Sunday attendance in 30 years. Deuteronomy 4:2 warns, “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.” Slight decrease in U.S. obesity rate And finally, Gallup reports obesity rates are declining in the U.S. The adult obesity rate stands at 37% this year. That's down from a high of 39.9% in 2022 but up from 25.5% in 2008. While obesity rates have declined recently, diagnoses of diabetes have reached an all-time high of 13.8%. That's up slightly from 10.6% in 2008. The use of weight loss injectable drugs has risen sharply over the past year. The popularity of these weight loss drugs is connected with lower obesity rates but has not lessened the rate of diabetes diagnoses.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, November 5th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

www.commsolutionsmn.com- So, what does President Trump have to do to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The guy has a hand in ending most of the world's major conflicts: Pakistan and India, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Armenia and Azerbaijan... and the recent ceasefire achieved between Israel and the Palestinians. It's so blatant, that the winner of the award gave a head nod to President Trump. Don't worry, the system isn't rigged. A lot of this has been due to President Trump's ability to strike deals to give America a leg up in the Artificial Intelligence race. Big corporations have joined with the government to squeeze all of us that aren't at the top. There's some odd year elections happening this year and we're not happy about it. The turnout always stinks and a small group of activists can always win the day. There's two governor's races on the ballot. Jack Citerelli is within striking distance against Sherill, who is a damaged candidate. Winsome Sears should beat Abigail Spannberger, who has been caught up in the whole Jay Jones controversy, but that ain't looking too good either. Mamdani seems to have a lock on the New York mayor's race, and that's not good for the economic capital of the United States. He's illegally taken overseas money for his campaign and is a loud and proud Democratic Socialist which has a very radical agenda. He wants to reduce the police force, freeze rent, and have free public transportation and grocery stores. He's a disaster within moments of holding control of America's largest city. In Minneapolis, Omar Fateh is trying to become "Little Mamdani" as it's mayor. He's also with the DSA and holds the same views. This will give the Minneapolis City Council carte blanche to pass most any radical policy it wants to. If Minneapolis goes communist, the repercussions will reverberate throughout the suburbs as well. The time to prepare is now, because there's a pretty good chance he wins, as Omar Fateh has rigged the Ranked Choice voting system with lesser candidates to block Mayor Frey from getting votes. We really need to dump RCV. The moral of the story is that we need to get rid of RCV and odd year elections. In the meantime, you'd better run to the hills.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 330-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,785 N-T on turnover of 13-billion N-T. The market closed lower on Tuesday as investors locked in profits from the previous session by trimming holdings in artificial intelligence-related stocks on relatively high valuations. 50 Lose Taiwanese citizenship due to Chinese identity documents Mainland Affairs Council head Chiu Chui-cheng says about 50 people have lost their "Taiwan status" because they were confirmed to hold household registrations in China or have obtained Chinese passports. According to Chiu, household registration agencies have been notified to revoke the household registrations of the 50 individuals after evidence of their holding China-related documents was confirmed. The cases were reported by members of the public and confirmed through investigations or discovered by relevant (相關的) authorities. The Lai administration has repeatedly warned that violators of the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area will have their Taiwan household registration revoked. FM Lin meets with Australia-bound Young Agriculture Ambassadors Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung has presented a group of 16 Australia-bound Young Agricultural Ambassadors with the R-O-C flag at a ceremony in Taipei. Speaking at the event, Lin said the ambassadors will have multiple exchanges with Australian agricultural communities during their visit from November 22 to November 30. The 16 were selected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their expertise (專業知識) in biotechnology, recreational farming and organic fertilizers as part of the government-funded annual Young Agricultural Ambassadors program. The program aims to promote exchanges between Taiwan and 18 countries targeted by the New Southbound Policy. Brazil Prez Outlines Amazon Fund Plans Brazil's leader, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, says he wants the future of the Amazon rainforest to be built around a major fund that will pay countries to keep their forests standing. He spoke to reporters on Tuesday ahead of the United Nations' climate summit known as COP30. It gets underway this week in Belem, a Brazilian city in the edge of the Amazon. In Belem, Lula is expected to launch an initiative named Tropical Forests Forever Fund, aiming to support more than 70 developing countries that commit to preservation. The official COP30 website describes the initiative (新措施) as a “permanent trust fund” that would generate about $4 from the private sector for every $1 contributed. Brazil's president did not provide more details about how the plan would come to action. So far, Colombia, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia and Malaysia have joined. US Mamdani the favourite as New York votes for Mayor America's biggest city could soon have its first Muslim mayor, as voters head to the polls in a race that has gained international attention. Zohran Mamdani is the favourite to beat former Governor Andrew Cuomo, after captivating (吸引) a younger generation as a self-described "democratic socialist." Mitch McCann reports from New York.

The world teaches us that a selfless love means forgetting yourself. This ignores the manner in which Jesus Christ teaches us how to love others. We are quick to castigates those who do not act with kindness to others not realizing that a man can only love on the level which he loves himself. In this study we will learn how that works practically. How do you practice love toward yourself? Long-suffering and kindness? The Bible offers us a solution to the question through a rich and demonstrative love toward ourselves and then others.Join #Lovewalk online & on #socialmedia.

Maud Kells was born in Northern Ireland and grew up on a farm where church was more of a tradition than a heartfelt commitment. After coming to faith in Christ, she shocked her parents by announcing her call to the mission field.When it came time for her placement, Maud asked to go to one of the most dangerous and unstable countries in the world — the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite facing rebel attacks, robberies, and primitive conditions, Maud flourished among the Congolese people she came to love so deeply.Her story is a powerful reminder of what God can do through a life fully surrendered to Him.

“I just want the Bible. How much does it cost?” First, the young Druze woman tried to access and read her own religion's holy book. But she wasn't allowed to read it. Then she tried to find a Quran. Finally, she came to a church and asked to purchase a Bible, worried she wouldn't have enough money to pay for it. The pastor told her that God's Word is priceless, but that he would give it to her without cost. Shocked, she took the Bible and began to read, eventually giving her life to Jesus. Brother Michael, a gospel worker in the Middle East, will share more of this young woman's powerful story and the Christian persecution she faced from her family while standing firm in Christ. In spite of persecution, even locked in a room, she continued to share the gospel. Learn what it's like to live as a Christian in the Middle East, and what believers face after leaving Muslim or Druze backgrounds to follow Christ. As believers engage in conversations with family and friends, they carefully plant spiritual seeds while testing their listeners' hearts to see if they are ready to go deeper. Brother Michael also shares how he trains and leads discipleship through Discovery Bible Study groups, which are multiplying as new believers share their personal testimonies with family and friends. One group started with nine believers, but today has multiplied into more than twenty groups with 150 believers! Hear how you can pray specifically for Brother Michael and our persecuted Christian family in the Middle East. The International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP) is next Sunday! The Voice of the Martyrs offers resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2–and throughout the year. Be sure to watch the new short film telling the story of ongoing Christian persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo—and how God is bringing healing to Christians who've suffered attacks and trauma. Access all the IDOP resources here.

How have young people in rural areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo invented new forms of radicalism in response to the impact of new flows of foreign investment and the inability of normal national and international politics to serve their needs and interests? Zachariah Mampilly explains how rural and urban spaces have seen a complex transit of peoples and funds that complicate politics, and emergent forms of radical activism have taken root and spread in many African countries. These forms display important re-imaginings of power sharing and revolutionary praxis.Zachariah Mampilly is the Marxe Endowed Chair of International Affairs at the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, CUNY and a member of the doctoral faculty in the Department of Political Science at the Graduate Center, CUNY. He is the Co-Founder of the Program on African Social Research. Previously, he was Professor of Political Science and Director of the Africana Studies Program at Vassar College. In 2012/2013, he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. He is the author of Rebel Rulers: Insurgent Governance and Civilian Life during War  (Cornell U. Press 2011) and with Adam Branch, Africa Uprising: Popular Protest and Political Change (African Arguments, Zed Press 2015).  He is the co-editor of Rebel Governance in Civil Wars  (Cambridge U. Press 2015) with Ana Arjona and Nelson Kasfir; and Peacemaking: From Practice to Theory (Praeger 2011) with Andrea Bartoli and Susan Allen Nan. His writing has also appeared in Foreign Affairs, Jacobin, The Hindu, Africa's a Country, N+1, Dissent, Al Jazeera, Noema, The Washington Post and elsewhere. 

Seek First the KingdomWe all know Rip Van Winkle, who takes a nap in the woods and reemerges to discover he's been asleep for 20 years. When he returns to town, he notices many uncanny changes, but for the most part, life is much the same. For instance, his favorite pub still features its venerable portrait of George… it's just that the George being honored is one “President Washington” instead of the King of England! Van Winkle observes the irony that his nameless wife having passed away while he was “out” has much more bearing on his everyday life than the Revolution could. Yet Irving also wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, in which Ichabod Crane and his neighbors are haunted by a headless horseman. So, maybe he sees a more sinister and terrible angle on how a “decapitated” community might develop a troubled subconscious about their lack of a crown. Who knows how soon after the Revolution people stopped even noticing our headlessness?  Maybe that's a reach. What I do know is that it's a tricky thing to talk at all about Kings and Kingdoms in these United States. Now, I'm not complaining. Many of my professors have been subjects of or members of universities that are subject to a Crown. Their difficulty is often in distinguishing the Lordship of Christ from their experience with human kings and queens. Most Americans don't have the baggage of a people who've grown up in a monarchical government. But that also means that when we approach King language in the Bible, we arrive without any luggage at all. We struggle to imagine what exactly Jesus means when he calls himself a King. I'd much rather do some extra work in getting there imaginatively than try to re-establish a royal government on this continent. But I think it's important to acknowledge this position we Americans are in, stirring up proper affection for someone claiming to be a King setting up a Kingdom. Even if it is Jesus, I wonder if we can't help imagining his Kingdom by default as something of a Democratic Republic with an ideal President. Let's try to imagine it better together this Sunday,

It's Monday, October 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Islamic terrorists in Congo killed 5 gold miners The Islamic Allied Democratic Forces continue to cause death and destruction in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, reports International Christian Concern. Last Tuesday morning, October 7th, they launched the deadly attack on Rizerie village, located in the predominantly Christian Lubero territory in North Kivu Province.  The Muslim attackers arrived while people were working in a gold mining site. They killed five civilians who were actively mining gold at the time.  A witness said, “The people who were killed were just trying to work so they could earn a living. They woke up early that morning, hoping to provide for their families. Then the rebels came out of nowhere and brutally ended their lives. It was horrifying — gunshots, screaming, and people running in every direction. Those men did not deserve to die like that.”  According to Open Doors, Congo is the 35th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Please pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters in Christ in Congo, Africa. Trump insists on paying soldiers in midst of gov't shutdown President Donald Trump is implementing a temporary solution to minimize the pain inflicted on American servicemen during the Democrat-induced government shutdown, reports TheBlaze. On Truth Social, the President wrote, "I am using my authority, as Commander-in-Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th. We have identified funds to do this.” Democrats allowed government funding to lapse past the September 30 deadline, refusing to pass the Republican-led continuing resolution. Although spending fights have turned partisan in the past, Republicans simply proposed a clean 90-page Continuing Resolution that kept funding levels at the same rates that Democrats voted for in the past. Their bill had no partisan line items, with the only anomaly being a bipartisan boost in security funding for politicians following Charlie Kirk's assassination. On the other hand, Democrats proposed a $1.5 trillion funding bill that is chock-full of ideological provisions aimed at reversing the legislative accomplishments Republicans secured with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Democrats have also attempted to make the spending fight about re-negotiating Obama-era health care subsidies, although they do not expire until the end of the year. 16 killed in explosion at TN military explosives manufacturer A "devastating" blast at a Tennessee military explosives manufacturing plant at 7:48am on Friday is believed to have killed 16 people, reports ABC News. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis spoke at a press conference on Saturday. DAVIS:  “We have notified all 16 families of those people that we feel were involved in this tragedy.” The explosion occurred at Accurate Energetic Systems in McEwen, located about 50 miles west of Nashville. DAVIS: “This is probably one of the most devastating sites I think I've been on in my career.” Help Voddie Baucham's widow and 9 children The Christian community continues to mourn the unexpected death on September 25th of Dr. Voddie Baucham, a towering figure in Evangelical circles. Known for his defense of Biblical truth, Baucham, a pastor, author, and theologian, left a legacy of family, faith, and opposing "woke" ideologies in the church. He wrote the book Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe. Listen to this sermon excerpt about the power of the Gospel. BAUCHAM: “We're justified, and we're adopted into the family of God. And we're sanctified, and as His children, we begin to bear the family resemblance. And we're further sanctified throughout this life by the very same Gospel that saves us, until one day when it's all said and done, we're not just saved from the penalty of sin. We're not just saved from the power of sin, but one day, we're glorified and saved from the very presence of sin. That's the Gospel that we preach. That's the Gospel that we need!” Romans 8:2 says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.” And here's a soundbite where the late Voddie Baucham shared his last two wishes. BAUCHAM: “I've come to a place in my life where there's just a few things that I asked God for, and one of them that I pray for regularly is that God would allow me to spend my last day on this Earth with my wife, so that I can look her in the face and tell her that I was faithful to her to the day they put me in the ground. “And another thing that I asked for is that I have raised my children in such a way that, after I'm done scratching and clawing and fighting for the cause of the Kingdom [of God], and after I have reached out as far as I could possibly go for the sake of Christ, that I will have raised my children in such a way that rather than pursue the things of this world, they would climb over me and pick up where I left off and go further and further and further than I could ever imagine, or that I could ever have gone in and of myself. “That's what I want. More than anything else in this world. That's what I want.” If you would like to help contribute toward the $2,000,000 goal to provide for his widow, Bridget, and their 9 children, 7 of whom are still under her roof, click on the special GiveSendGo link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.   So far, as of Saturday night, 5,349 people have contributed $824,650. Skeleton-wearing amulet may change history of Christianity And finally, an 1,800-year-old silver amulet discovered buried in a Frankfurt, Germany grave, still next to the chin of the man who wore it, has 18 lines of text written in Latin on just 1.37 inches of silver foil. That could be enough to rewrite the known history of Christianity in the Roman Empire, reports PopularMechanics.com. The amulet—and the inscription—are the oldest evidence of Christianity found north of the Alps. Every other link to reliable evidence of Christian life in the northern Alpine area of the Roman Empire is at least 50 years younger, all coming from the fourth century A.D. The amulet, found in a grave dating between 230 and 270 A.D., is now known as “The Frankfurt Inscription.” In a translated statement, Ina Hartwig, Frankfurt's head of culture and science, said, “This extraordinary find affects many areas of research and will keep science busy for a long time. This applies to archaeology as well as to religious studies, philology, and anthropology. Such a significant find here in Frankfurt is truly something extraordinary.” The mostly translated amulet says, “Holy, holy, holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God! The Lord of the World resists with [strength] This rescue device(?) protects the person who surrenders to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, since before Jesus Christ all knees bow: the heavenly ones, the earthly and the underground, and every tongue confess to Jesus Christ.” In Philippians 2:10-11, the Apostle Paul wrote, “At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 13th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Episode 76 Congo: When History Walks into Your Exam Room On this episode host Raj Sundar sits down with Jean Jacques, physician, community organizer to explore how the long and complex history of the Democratic Republic of Congo—including colonialism, resource-driven conflict, and trauma—shapes the healthcare experience of Congolese immigrants and refugees in the U.S. They talk through the diversity of Congolese identities, languages, and traditions, and examine how food, faith, and community form the backbone of cultural resilience, even as new challenges like diabetes, hypertension, and mental health stigma emerge after resettlement. Our conversation highlights practical advice for clinicians—from building trust and acknowledging trauma to asking about family and respecting cultural foodways—while also discussing the vital role of Congolese churches and grassroots organizations in healing and navigating the American healthcare system.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes and their countries amidst war and upheaval in the Middle East. Pastor Abraham and Sara are living as representatives of God's love to displaced people in the Middle East. The ministry can be messy and difficult, yet they persist in demonstrating love in practical ways. And they are seeing great fruit for their ministry. Abraham and Sara will share how one woman—the widow of an imam—had heard all kinds of negative things about Christians. But when she came to the church, she found something very different: people who loved her and helped her. Listen to hear the story of how God answered the woman's prayer within 24 hours, and how a dream led her to commit her life to Jesus. Leaving Islam behind to follow Jesus comes with a cost, though. Abraham and Sara will also share what Christian persecution looks like in the region, including pressure from families or tribes as well as Islamists or government authorities. “We are planting seeds,” Sara says, “we are the tools for His Kingdom.” Pray for Abraham & Sara's ministry as they serve lost and forgotten people in the Middle East and seek to reveal Christ's love for them. The International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP) is only a few weeks away. The Voice of the Martyrs offers resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2—and throughout the year. Be sure to watch the new short film telling the story of ongoing persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo—and how God is bringing healing to Christians who've suffered attacks and trauma.

Interview with Richard Osmond, CEO of Element 29 ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/element-29-resources-tsxvecu-developing-the-next-major-copper-mine-in-peru-6293Recording date: 5th October 2025Element 29 Resources is advancing its Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project in Peru with about 14,000 meters of drilling completed and a maiden resource estimate published in 2022. The company aims to grow the initial 300 million tons resource to over 500 million tons through ongoing exploration. Recent magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical surveys have identified a hydrothermal alteration footprint exceeding six kilometers in strike length, which includes low resistivity anomalies at depth. These anomalies suggest the presence of a high-grade copper core that remains untested at around 1.5 kilometers below the surface.Element 29 has secured approximately $10 million in treasury, raised through $6.1 million in financing and $4 million from warrant exercises, to fund a 7,000-meter drill program. Drilling costs average $450-500 USD per meter. The project benefits from a five-year community access agreement and is expanding drill permits from 20 to 40 platforms ahead of Peru's 2026 election cycle. Peru's government has shown increased support for mining development after losing its position as the world's second-largest copper producer to the Democratic Republic of Congo.The Elida project displays favorable characteristics including a 4:1 strip ratio, an absence of a water table which reduces environmental liability, expectations of clean concentrate with no arsenic, and potential for transitioning from an open pit to underground mining. This transition could extend the mine life beyond the initial 15-year production timeline at 100,000 tons per day. The geological setting is defined by multiple mineralization phases within a porphyry intrusive complex, with late-stage sulfidation overprints upgrading the system and increasing grades at depth.The company's CEO, Richard Osmond, emphasizes the rarity of such discoveries today and the project's potential as a tier-one asset. The strategy focuses on resource expansion through systematic drilling and geophysical targeting, supported by Peru's improving regulatory environment and strong investment protections. Element 29 is positioning itself to deliver a de-risked copper asset that could satisfy major mining companies' requirements for large-scale, economically viable resources in world-class jurisdictions.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/element-29-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In April 1978, a Marxist-Leninist party overthrew the government of Afghanistan. They then established a new country: the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The news shocked the world. Over history, conquerors from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan to Babur of the Mughal Empire to Nadir Shah of Iran have all carved their ways through Afghanistan - inflicting untold damage. But in the 1950s and 1960s, the country - led by several strongmen - seemed to be on a modernizing path. So how did the Communists pull off such a shocking takeover? In this video, we look at how the Communists took Afghanistan.

In Malaysia, every citizen carries an ID card that includes religion; every person is classified as either “Muslim” or “Non-Muslim.” The Malaysian constitution promises religious freedom and the right to choose one's religion. So what happens if a citizen changes their faith? “Brother Samuel” will answer that question this week on VOM Radio. Born into a Muslim family, he came to know that Jesus was the Son of God, then chose to leave Islam behind to follow Christ. At first, he kept his newfound faith quiet, knowing that being publicly identified as a follower of Jesus could bring all kinds of trouble. But as he grew in faith, he felt convicted about his silence. Jesus had died for him. How could he be unwilling even to acknowledge Christ? Learning of his conversion, Samuel's family encouraged him to dive more deeply into Islamic training and activities. Wanting to honor his father and his family, Samuel agreed to attend Islamic classes. But instead of bringing him back to Mohammed, the training forced him to become more rooted in Biblical truth and more capable at explaining and defending Christian doctrines. In 2018, Samuel began the process of applying for a new national ID card, changing his religion from “Muslim” to “non-Muslim.” Seven years later, his court case is still dragging on. While the most famous case of Christian persecution in Malaysia is the abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh, Samuel says there are hundreds of Christians right now in the same situation he's in: trying to get the government to issue them new ID cards that accurately reflect their faith. Please pray this week for Samuel and for other Christians in Malaysia. Next month is the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP). The Voice of the Martyrs has resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2 and throughout the year, including a new film telling the story of ongoing persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo.
