My Story Talk 32 Life after Mattersey (2) Welcome to Talk 32 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was telling you how the Lord opened up a wider ministry for me after we left Mattersey and we concentrated on Countries in Europe. Today it will be Africa and Reunion Island. African Countries I have already mentioned my first trip to Africa which was to Burkina Faso in the year 2000 while we were still at Mattersey. The next trip was to South Africa in 2004, just after leaving Mattersey, which I have also mentioned already. The African countries I visited after Mattersey were Ethiopia (five times between 05 and 09), and Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa again, making a total of ten trips overall, half of which were to Ethiopia.. I visited Ghana in 2007 at the invitation of Paul Frimpong Manso, then the Superintendent of the Ashanti Region and later to become the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God in Ghana. Paul had been a student at Mattersey in the nineties, being one of the first to earn our newly validated BA degree and had later returned to take our MA too. The purpose of my visit was primarily to speak at their pastors' conference and preach at their ordination service for new ministers. I was treated like royalty despite the fact that they were all smartly dressed in suits and ties – and some even with clerical collars – while I wore a short sleeved open-necked shirt, a special concession granted to me as someone unaccustomed to the temperature which, although it was only January, was far too high for my liking – a problem I was to face later in India in 2010. It was a privilege to see the great work that Paul was doing and to know that he valued highly the teaching he had received at Mattersey. One of the things he had said to his fellow-students about my teaching on the Holy Spirit was that in Ghana they not only believed the things I taught but that they also put them into practice! Miracles seem to happen more often in Africa than they do in Europe, but often there is a lack of sound biblical teaching to go with them. The truth is, we need both. And a major part of my ministry has been to emphasise this. My visit to Nigeria in 08 was unique in that the invitation did not come from any of the usual sources. Barrie Taylor is my daughter Sarah's father-in-law and has exercised an ongoing ministry for many years visiting Nigeria and by regular visits has developed a strong relationship with some of the churches there. As a result they respectfully refer to him as Uncle Barrie. Barrie invited me to accompany him on one of these trips and I was delighted to do so. We flew to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, and were met by pastors John Sarota and Vitalis Yahemba, the CEO of Truth and Life Ministry. We travelled by car to Kaduna a journey of some 200 kilometres to the north of Abuja and stayed at the Catholic Social Centre sleeping in relatively comfortable rooms. But I confess I was disturbed at times by the high-pitched buzz an occasional mosquito flapping its wings at 250 times a second and by the fear that one might find its way under the mosquito net. Another disturbance early each morning was the sound of the muezzin calling from the minaret of a local mosque reminding faithful Muslims to pray. Kaduna lies very close to the northern area of Nigeria which is predominantly Muslim and where so many Christians have lost their lives for their faith. Despite the ever-present Muslim threat, Christians from the area gathered in large numbers, evidenced by the fact that while we were there the total attendance was around 2,500, meetings being held at Talmo College in a hall holding about 800 and the messages relayed to four marquees and translated into four different tribal languages. We both felt that the trip had been well worthwhile and I was particularly grateful for the opportunity to get to know Barrie better and to discover how much we both had in common. I went to South Africa again in November 2009 at the request of Paul Alexander to teach at the Africa School of Missions which he had founded some time previously. I enjoyed teaching the small class of students and the fellowship at mealtimes with staff members too. However, there were long periods each day when I had little to do and, apart from a quick visit to the Kruger National Park, which I had visited with Eileen in 04, I needed to find something to do to occupy my time. So I decided the start writing a new book. For some time I had been feeling that I should write something that would be useful as a tool in evangelism, and this was confirmed by something Brian Niblock said to me when he was preaching in our church in Brixham. And that's how I came to write my little book, Signs from Heaven – why I believe. To my surprise, the whole thing was finished by the time I left South Africa. But perhaps the most significant moment about the whole trip was what happened on the flight home. I checked in online at the earliest possible moment and was able to get a seat at the front of economy where there was the most legroom. But after boarding the plane I was soon asked by a flight attendant if I would vacate my seat as someone had been taken ill and needed easy access to a seat on that row. So I ended up sitting in a different seat, but on the same row and, as it turned out, right next to the man who was unwell. He was accompanied by his wife who explained to me that only a few days earlier they had flown to South Africa for a holiday but on arrival her husband had been rushed to hospital. His condition, the details of which I forget, was quite rare, totally unexpected, potentially fatal, and required specialist treatment. They were returning to England in a state of shock and understandably very worried. They asked me what I had been doing in South Africa, and I said that among other things I had been writing a book about miracles. I said something like, It sounds like you need a miracle right now. It turned out that they were Catholics and, though they hadn't been to church for a long time, certainly did believe in miracles. I shared the gospel with them, prayed for them, gave them a copy of my book on healing, and posted them Signs from Heaven as soon as it was published. Years later she told me that her husband, who had made an unexpectedly quick recovery, had now died, but that that encounter on the plane had restored their faith in the Lord Jesus. My first trip to Ethiopia was in January 2005 at the invitation of Heikki Pentinnen, a Finnish missionary who was organising an international charismatic conference in Addis Ababa and looking for a main speaker to take several sessions on the gifts of the Spirit. He had heard about me from Arto Hamalainan who knew me well through our work on the PEF presidium. Hundreds of leaders, including those from Orthodox and Coptic churches, gathered from across Ethiopia for this unique occasion and I was thrilled to see their desire to get a biblical grasp on the work of the Spirit. I made annual visits for the next four years (2006-09) teaching for one or two weeks in a Bible College in Addis at the invitation of Canadian missionaries Jeremy and Teresa Feller with whom I usually stayed. Jeremy and Teresa's parents, Brian and Valerie Rutten, had all come to Mattersey to take our MA in Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies and were keen to have me come and teach in the college where they were serving with PAOC (Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada). On at least two of these occasions, I was accompanied by Eileen who loved the country and its wonderful people. Apart from the teaching in the college we were taken on lengthy trips to parts of the country which were far hotter than Addis where the climate is more acceptable because of its high altitude. One such trip in February 07 was to Awassa some 290 kilometres to the south. Eileen's journal captures the memory very well: Lush vegetation, bananas, sugar cane. Beautiful. Lakes, mountains, animals, people, donkey carts. Small groups of huts. Camels, ostrich, hyena. A dead animal being eaten by a vulture and a dog watching and waiting, Young children herding animals, carrying heavy loads, water, bundles of leaves, sticks. The Pentecostal Church in Awassa where I preached on the Sunday was one of the largest in Ethiopia. 2000 people gather at 6.00 every morning to pray. There were 6000 in the 9am service. They have six branch churches with a total membership of 12,000. God is doing amazing things in Ethiopia and I'm so grateful to have had the privilege of teaching and preaching there over those few years. And I'm grateful, too, that we were able to fund the translation into Amharic of Body Builders, my book on spiritual gifts. Despite the massive growth of the church, Ethiopian church leaders recognise their need of sound biblical teaching and if I have made at least a small contribution to that, the Lord be praised. Ile de la Réunion (Reunion Island) Located in the Indian Ocean between Africa and India, the Ile de la Réunion is an overseas French territory. I have already mentioned in an earlier chapter how in 2004 I was the main speaker at the French National Pastors' Conference in Bordeaux. It was there that I met David Cizéron who told me about his father's work in Réunion and gave me a book about him. Aimé Cizeron was now with the Lord, but I was fascinated with the account of his apostolic ministry as a result of which some 40 churches had been planted all over the island. So I was pleasantly surprised a year later to receive an invitation to be a guest speaker at the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of ADD in Réunion in 2006. They were happy to pay the airfares for both Eileen and me and, as I learnt later, as a tropical island Réunion is a much sought after holiday destination particularly for the French. But we had accepted the invitation well before we knew all this because I was determined to visit the place where 5000 people were gathering within four weeks of the start of Cizéron's ministry as a result of the miracles of healing that were taking place. So in April 06 we flew to Réunion via Paris, landing at the Roland Garros airport to be greeted by a TV crew asking how we were expecting the eight days of meeting to go. I was very tired after what had been an extremely long journey, made worse by an eleven hour delay in Paris, and simply replied, I believe the Lord will bless us greatly, which he certainly did. But that did not mean that everything would go smoothly. The very next day, our hosts, Patrick and Joanna, were showing us round a market in Saint Denis when they met a friend and introduced us to her. She then said something very strange: You are not afraid of the Chikungunya? Now there were some live chickens for sale in the market and, not knowing what Chikungunya was, I thought it must be something to do with chickens. But no. Chikungunya is a highly infectious disease borne by mosquitoes and potentially fatal! The entire island was affected by it and we had not noticed the warnings about it when we arrived at the airport. We found out later that Tom Trask, American AoG General Superintendent and guest speaker at the conference, had been warned about it in advance, but somehow no one had thought to tell us. But despite all that, we had a great eight days of meetings and the Lord not only preserved us from the chikungunya but greatly blessed all the meetings and ministry. So much so that we were invited back the following year for a longer visit where I conducted seminars for the pastors on spiritual gifts, preached in two evangelistic meetings, and took a series of Bible studies from Monday to Friday in the church in Saint Denis. The people were really hungry for the Word of God. In each evangelistic meeting over 200 people came forward in response to the gospel appeal, and there were over 700 each night for each of the Bible studies. My subject, as usual, was spiritual gifts, but I shall never forget the remarkable way some one came to Christ at the close of one of those meetings. But first I need to tell you about Véronique. Véronique was a kind lady who took us to explore various parts of the island during the daytime when there were no meetings until the evening. Réunion is a volcanic island and one such trip involved driving to the top of the volcano and then walking down into its crater. This was apparently quite safe even though the volcano erupted quite frequently and the steam was still rising from the lava months after the last eruption. One of the days we were there was a public holiday and Véronique had taken her children to the beach. While she was there she told a friend about the meetings and persuaded her to come. She came to the meeting and was so overwhelmed by the worship that she felt she had to leave. But when she was about ten minutes away from the church she suddenly heard the music from the church coming through her mobile phone. No one had called her and, unable to think of any natural explanation, she felt compelled to return to the meeting. She sat through it in tears and at the end, although I had not made a gospel appeal, came forward and asked how she could be saved. It was such a joy to be able to lead her to the Lord and to learn later that she was regularly attending her local ADD church. So the Lord was using us and blessing us in so many different ways and I look back on those years with great gratitude to God. Next time I'll be talking about our trip to India in 2010 when I began to experience very real health challenges for the first time in my life.

President Donald Trump has warned that he will target Nigeria if the government there "continues to allow the killing of Christians". For months, campaigners and politicians in Washington have been alleging that Islamist militants were systematically targeting Christians in Nigeria. But how true are the claims that there is a persecution – or even a genocide – of Christians in the West African country? And how does Nicki Minaj come to thank him for his intervention? We speak to the BBC's global religion correspondent, Lebo Diseko.

Nigeria's response to cerebral palsy stands at a pivotal crossroads. While the world raises awareness and calls for inclusion, Nigeria grapples with significant gaps in understanding, limited access to therapy, and systemic barriers that keep children with CP on the margins.Background: The Landscape of CP in NigeriaCerebral palsy remains one of the most misunderstood childhood disorders in the country. Prevalence estimates vary widely, but many cases go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to low awareness among health workers and families. Therapy services—physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech‑language therapy—are concentrated in urban centres, leaving rural children without basic care. Stigma and discrimination further isolate affected families, and policy frameworks seldom prioritize CP within broader disability agendas.What needs to change?- Awareness & education – training health professionals, teachers, and community leaders to recognise early signs.- Accessible therapy – expanding community‑based rehab hubs and subsidising private therapy costs.- Inclusive policies – integrating CP into national disability legislation, school curricula, and employment guidelines.In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we sit down with a father who's navigating daily life with his CP‑affected child, and with a leading paediatric neurologist who outlines concrete steps for policy, funding, and societal inclusion. Their stories illuminate the urgent reforms needed to turn World Cerebral Palsy Day from a symbolic moment into a catalyst for real, nationwide change.

Once seen as an affordable alternative source of protein for the average Nigerian, fish is gradually disappearing from the dining table and not because it's no longer wanted.With the high cost of feed, fuel, and transportation, many fish farmers are struggling to stay in business, and as a result, prices are rising beyond reach for millions.What's really driving the crisis? How do fish farmers survive? What can families eat instead? And what is Nigeria losing economically as fish farming declines?These are the issues we explore in this episode of Nigeria Daily.

Synopsis:In this episode, the special assistant on climate change to the Kaduna State governor, Yusuf Idris Amoke with expertise in designing and implementing sub-national climate solutions joins Seyifunmi Adebote to discuss the state of climate change reception in Nigeria, and his innovative systems he has put in place so far in office to establish solid platforms, partnerships, initiatives, and policies on sustainability across Kaduna. Yusuf addresses the issue of inclusivity (13:35) in the sustainability development space within the Kaduna state government and the measures they are taking to bridge that gap in the system. He also clears the misconception around climate financing (17:40) in Nigeria, and how the Kaduna state government has leveraged internal funding to provide infrastructure for sustainable development goals within the state.Yusuf acknowledges the gap in the sector but reassures Nigerians that his office, in tandem with the governor of Kaduna is working around the clock to implement climate polices of global standard to provide more feasible initiatives and structures on sustainability within the state.On this episode, you will learn about:1. Kaduna State is one of the leading states with the strongest climate policies and feasible sustainability initiatives in place. 2. The active steps and strides the Nigerian government have been making in the area of sustainable development3. A new definition of climate finance, as not just international funding but internally generated funding as well.Listen, enjoy and share via: SpotifyApple Podcast Google PodcastConnect with Us:Subscribe: www.climatetalkpodcast.com/subscribe Reach Out: info@climatetalkpodcast.com & seyi@climatetalkpodcast.comMentions:Guest's Campaign Platform: Kaduna State GovernmentGuest's Social Media (LinkedIn): Yusuf Idris AmokeEpisode Credits:Episode Host: Seyifunmi AdeboteEpisode Producers: Nkem CreativesWelcome to share the podcast with your network and engage online using #ClimateTalk.
Flooding has continued to claim lives and displace families across Nigeria.Despite repeated warnings from the Federal Ministry of Environment about 14 states most at risk, the rains have brought devastation.With casualty figures rising and states issuing evacuation alerts, there are concerns about how prepared Nigeria really is to face this disaster.
For more than two weeks, a community in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has been thrown into darkness by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC).The company decided to cut off electricity supply to an entire neighbourhood because a few residents were allegedly involved in an assault on its officials.This action, which is commonly practiced by DisCos,, has sparked outrage, raising a critical question: Is it justifiable for a company to punish an entire community for the actions of a few individuals?
Every year, countless Nigerians lose their lives to road accidents.For some families, the pain is made worse when the driver responsible disappears without a trace.But beyond the grief lies a pressing question: Can victims or their families claim compensation in cases of hit-and-run?What does the law actually say, and how can ordinary Nigerians seek justice in such situations?In today's episode of Nigeria Daily, we explore the rights of victims of hit-and-run accidents hearing from a victim's family, a lawyer, a human rights activist, and a public affairs analyst.

Once seen as an affordable alternative source of protein for the average Nigerian, fish is gradually disappearing from the dining table — and not because it's no longer wanted.With the high cost of feed, fuel, and transportation, many fish farmers are struggling to stay in business, and as a result, prices are rising beyond reach for millions.What's really driving the crisis? How do fish farmers survive? What can families eat instead? And what is Nigeria losing economically as fish farming declines?These are the issues we explore in this episode of Nigeria Daily.
There is an uneasy calm in some parts of Sokoto State.As the rainy season intensifies, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has issued a fresh warning predicting flash floods in 20 states across Nigeria.And the State, where the risk of severe flooding is expected to be especially high in the coming days, is top on the list is Sokoto.This warning has sparked growing concern among residents, especially in low-lying and densely populated areas.

Le drone est-il en train de remplacer l'hélicoptère, voire l'avion, dans un certain nombre de pays, notamment en Afrique ? Cette année, le drone est l'une des superstars du Salon aéronautique du Bourget, qui vient de s'ouvrir près de Paris. Parmi les visiteurs assidus de ce Salon, il y a l'ancien officier français Peer de Jong, qui a créé Themiis, une société de conseil pour la paix et la sécurité, qui opère principalement en Afrique. Quels sont les atouts du drone en Afrique ? En ligne du Bourget, Peer de Jong répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. Quelles sont en Afrique les batailles où les drones ont joué un rôle décisif ces dix dernières années ? Je connais deux batailles où les drones ont joué un rôle vraiment décisif. La première, c'est au Mali, puisque les Forces armées maliennes (Fama) avec Wagner utilisent systématiquement depuis en fait deux ans dans toutes leurs opérations des drones pour la reconnaissance. Mais également pour le tir, puisqu'elles ont des Bayraktar de Turquie. Ces Bayraktar sont armés. Donc aujourd'hui, il y a un usage systématique au Mali, en tout cas de drones. La deuxième grande bataille, c'est en Libye. En Libye, en 2020, au moment où le maréchal Haftar déclenche une offensive en direction de Tripoli à partir de Tobrouk, il a été très concrètement arrêté par les forces de Tripoli qui étaient, elles, équipées avec une société militaire privée (SMP) bien connue qui s'appelle Sadat. Elles étaient équipées avec des Bayraktar. Et le Bayraktar a été décisif dans le blocage des forces de Haftar en direction de Tripoli. Donc, on est vraiment au début d'une histoire et aujourd'hui les vendeurs de matériel circulent dans toute l'Afrique et font des propositions. Les acteurs principaux dans ce domaine-là, très concrètement, ce sont les Turcs. Aujourd'hui, les Turcs se servent du drone comme une espèce de produit d'appel pour en fait développer une forme d'influence sur l'ensemble des pays africains. Et moi actuellement, je les rencontre partout et ils le font avec une structure qui s'appelle Sadat. C'est un petit peu le Wagner bis, le Wagner turc. Et c'est cette structure qui fait théoriquement la formation et qui fait la préparation des unités opérationnelles sur le Bayraktar. Un drone armé de type Bayraktar de fabrication turque, ça coûte combien environ ? Alors ce n'est pas très cher, on est largement en dessous des 5 millions d'euros. Et en fait, après, le problème, c'est le missile qu'on met dessus, parce que ce sont les missiles qui coûtent cher principalement. Et comparativement, un hélicoptère, ça coûte combien ? Je ne sais pas, ça dépend des modèles, bien évidemment, mais on est sur des modèles à 20 ou 30 millions. Sachant que l'hélicoptère est un engin relativement fragile. Donc le drone aujourd'hui trouve toute sa place dans les opérations de reconnaissance et éventuellement dans les opérations de combat pour les pays qui sont, je dirais, en tension. Est-ce que le drone n'est pas en train de remplacer l'avion ou l'hélicoptère dans certains pays africains ? Oui, mais l'emploi n'est pas le même parce qu'en fait l'hélicoptère fait de la logistique principalement. Il y a très peu d'hélicoptères armés à part les Mi-24. Je vois un exemple au Mali, il y a les deux. Il y a des hélicoptères armés, il y a des drones. Aujourd'hui, les Maliens préfèrent travailler avec des drones, c'est beaucoup plus simple. On met la mission à l'intérieur du drone et le drone, quoi qu'il en soit, il y va. Donc, on voit que l'emploi du drone est tellement simple, tellement facile et en fait tellement économique. Quelque part, il n'y a pas de comparaison. Encore une fois, l'hélicoptère devient un engin qui devient, je ne dis pas obsolète parce que le mot est un petit peu fort, parce que, dans les missions logistiques, les missions de commandement, on peut utiliser évidemment l'hélicoptère, mais l'hélicoptère perd beaucoup de son intérêt. On s'en sert comme un engin de transport, mais pas comme un engin de combat. À lire aussiLa défense et l'espace, seules éclaircies attendues au salon de l'aéronautique du Bourget En décembre 2023, au Nigeria, un drone a tué 85 civils qui participaient à une fête religieuse. C'était à Toudoum Biri, dans l'État de Kaduna. L'armée nigériane a présenté ses excuses, mais est-ce que le pilotage à distance n'augmente pas le nombre de bavures ? Théoriquement non, parce qu'il y a une qualité d'image qui est reportée à l'arrière, qui est excellente. Après, tout dépend du commandement, parce que l'image arrive derrière, dans une espèce de petit état-major, un petit PC pour faire court, avec un écran ou deux écrans. Donc il y a des vérifications, des contrôles et l'ordre de tir n'est pas donné par le tireur, il est donné par le chef du système. Alors après, tout dépend comment c'est organisé. Peer de Jong, vous êtes au salon du Bourget. Est-ce que les fabricants de drones sont présents, je pense notamment aux industriels turcs et chinois ? Alors, il n'y a globalement pas que ça, mais on va dire que c'est le grand marché qui s'ouvre. Parce qu'il y a des Luxembourgeois, il y a des Belges, il y a des Espagnols, il y a évidemment des Chinois. En fait, l'ensemble de la planète aujourd'hui fabrique des drones. Donc, on est sur un marché en pleine explosion. Donc encore une fois, c'est un marché phénoménal dans lequel les États africains sont partie prenante bien évidemment, puisqu'en fait, ils peuvent acquérir des engins à des prix parfaitement acceptables. D'autant qu'aujourd'hui, on fabrique les drones en grande quantité, donc les prix baissent et donc, évidemment, ils sont accessibles pour tous les budgets militaires africains. Et le premier prix est à combien, si j'ose dire ? Pour 10 000 euros, vous avez un drone parfaitement efficace. Aujourd'hui, l'Union européenne finance des programmes de drones pour la surveillance des frontières ou pour la surveillance des pêches, ou éventuellement pour les questions de surveillance écologique, pour voir les bateaux, les dégazages, etc. Donc, encore une fois, le drone a des missions extrêmement variées. Alors c'est vrai que la mission la plus haute, c'est la mission de combat avec des missiles, mais on voit bien que la plupart des missions des drones sont des missions de reconnaissance ou des missions pour aller observer ce qui se passe. Y a-t-il en Afrique aujourd'hui des États qui cherchent à fabriquer eux-mêmes des drones ? Alors quand les vendeurs de drones viennent dans les pays, les États africains leur disent : « Écoutez, nous, on est prêts à, comment dire, à vous acheter des drones, mais par contre on veut les fabriquer sous licence. » Donc, il y a un marché régional qui va se mettre en place. Moi, je connais deux pays qui aujourd'hui sont plutôt partie prenante et sont plutôt dynamiques dans ce domaine-là, c'est le Maroc et l'Afrique du Sud.

Après le Kenya et l'Ouganda c'est au tour du Nigeria de faire face à une vague de manifestations contre la mauvaise gouvernance et le coût de la vie. Plusieurs milliers de personnes ont convergé dans les principales villes du pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique. Coups de feu en l'air, tirs de gaz lacrymogène... La police est intervenue pour disperser le mouvement. Au moins trois manifestants ont été tués jeudi, dans l'Etat de Kaduna.
It's Monday, May 6th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims murder pastor on way to church conference Armed Muslims shot and killed Reverend Manasseh Ibrahim on April 23 in Kaduna State, Nigeria as he traveled to a church conference, reports International Christian Concern. The reverend served under the Evangelical Church Winning All Kaduna Central District Church. Violence in Kaduna State, often directed toward Christians, has left thousands of believers in a state of fear. Yahaya Kinge, chairman of the local Christian Association of Nigeria, said, “Christians who are direct victims of banditry and insurgency in Kaduna state are fed up with the inability of the Nigerian government to find a lasting solution to the incessant killings of innocent Christians.” Terrorist organizations such as Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province, and Islamic Fulani militants have caused countless atrocities throughout northern Nigeria in the last decade, causing the deaths and kidnappings of thousands. According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Revelation 6:9-10 says, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?'” More Chinese illegals caught at border in 2 days than all of 2021 More Chinese-based illegal immigrants were encountered at the U.S. southern border in just two days than in all of fiscal year 2021, reports WorldNetDaily.com. According to what a Customs and Border Protection source told Fox News' Bill Melugin, there were approximately 262 Chinese illegals caught by Border Patrol at the San Diego sector on May 1, as well as 223 on May 2. By contrast, only 323 Chinese nationals were apprehended by Border Patrol at the southern border throughout all of fiscal year 2021, according to Customs and Border Protection data. IRS about to roll out new audits The Internal Revenue Service says it is about to ramp up audits as it cracks down on tax cheats and seeks to deliver more revenue into the U.S. Treasury's coffers, reports Yahoo Finance. But not every group of taxpayers will face more scrutiny, according to IRS commissioner Danny Werfel. The IRS has been bolstered by $80 billion in new funding directed by the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law in 2022 by President Joe Biden. The idea behind the new funding was to help revive an agency whose ranks have been depleted over the years, leading to customer service snarls, processing delays, and a falloff in audit rates. Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs repeals state's near-total abortion ban Last Thursday, Arizona Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs signed into law a formal repeal of the state's near-total abortion ban, undoing one of the strongest preborn protections in the country with the help of a handful of Republicans, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Last month, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled 4-2 that the law, which dates back to before Arizona gained statehood in 1912 and was codified in 1913, was legally enforceable after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The Arizona Supreme Court rejected claims that Arizona's more recent 15-week abortion ban was intended to invalidate it. The decision meant that abortion was set to become illegal in the Grand Canyon State for any reason except when allegedly “necessary” to save the life of the mother. Direct abortion is always gravely immoral and never needed nor ethically justified to save a mother's life. Hobbs and Arizona's Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes vowed not to enforce any of the state's abortion restrictions, while the ruling elicited national outrage from the abortion lobby as well as criticism from Republicans who feared it might impact their political popularity. The members of the GOP who downplayed the Arizona pro-life law including former President Donald Trump, U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, and Fox News primetime personality Sean Hannity. But Abby Johnson, who has had two previous abortions which she regrets and was featured in the movie “Unplanned,” said, “I'm a conservative Christian and millions like me across the country are frustrated with this.” She said it sounds like Trump “just doesn't want to ban abortion at all,” since he opposes both federal limits and state laws. Pastor Jack Graham affirms a Biblical worldview And finally, in an interview with The Christian Post, Pastor Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, said a Biblical worldview is the foundation for the Christian. GRAHAM: “We talk a lot about Biblical worldview. At one point, we talked about liberal/conservative or conservative/progressive. But what we talk about is worldview. How do you the world? Do you view the world through the lens of Scripture? Or do you view the Scripture through the lens of the world? And, of course, we choose to view the world through God's Word. “When you do that, the Bible applies to every life situation. Obviously, the family is the foundation of civilization, as God made it. People want to know what the Bible says to my family, to my children, how do I raise my kids?'” Out of concern for the faithfulness of the next generations, Graham believes that the church must equip young people with Biblical answers to the world's toughest questions. GRAHAM: “We're seeing young people grow up in church and then potentially abandon their faith. So, what we want to do is to do ‘preventative medicine.' “We have a gentleman in our church, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, who is ‘the father of aerobics' and the father of Preventative Medicine, healthwise, physically. I believe the church, right now, needs to be on the cutting edge of preventative work in terms of our children, preparing them to answer the big questions that are coming their way. And to equip parents to be able to answer their children's questions so that when their children leave home, they'll have a faith to live by and not to abandon.” Because the Word of God is authoritative, the church should not cave to the world's embrace of the acceptability of sexual perversion. GRAHAM: "The Bible is clear on 'male and female, He created them.' So, we are not going to be flying rainbow flags in the church that's reaching families for Christ because it is in opposition to the Bible.” Proverbs 30:5 declares, “Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, May 6th in the year of our Lord 2024.

Cyclists on the Gaza Sunbirds team have always dreamed of competing on the global stage at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. But amid the Israel-Hamas war, the athletes have pivoted to delivering food to community members in need. And, a new study says salmon populations produced in countries such as Norway, the UK and Canada are dying in large numbers. Warming waters and disease are seen as the main culprits for the depletion of farmed salmon. Also, in northwest Nigeria's Kaduna state, gunmen recently stormed into a rural town, rounded up 287 children and kidnapped them to a nearby forest. The circumstances differ from four day ago when Islamist militants kidnapped about 200 women and children elsewhere in Nigeria's rural north. We hear what's behind the most recent kidnapping and what it means for state security. Plus, the sound of "The Society of Snow."
Fifteen students and four women were taken from a school in the state of Sokoto. The army is still searching for hundreds abducted in Kaduna state on Thursday.
