In 1996, former U.S. Marine Wes Bentley founded Far Reaching Ministries (FRM) after serving as a missionary in war-torn regions of Sudan, including Bahr El-Ghazal, Western Equatoria, the Nuba Mountains, and Southern Kordofan. By 1998, FRM expanded its efforts to South Sudanese refugee camps, primarily in Kiryandongo, Uganda, bringing hope to thousands of orphans and widows affected by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, FRM became a beacon for those suffering from ethnic and religious cleansing.Today, FRM operates in 39 of the world's most dangerous nations, deploying over 500 team members to share the hope of Jesus, disciple believers, and intervene for those trapped in cycles of death, violence, and poverty under oppressive regimes.Committed to alleviating suffering, FRM rescues and rebuilds lives affected by Christian persecution, abduction, violence, rape, and war-induced humanitarian crises. The ministry provides essential aid, combats child sex trafficking and organ harvesting, and offers medical care, food, and shelter. More importantly, it introduces people to the love and hope found in Jesus Christ.FRM is also dedicated to planting underground churches, discipling believers, and equipping them to return to their communities as Gospel witnesses. Its frontline workers include military-embedded chaplains, pastors, doctors, and ministry leaders, all working to transform lives and nations for Christ.

In 2012, a Ugandan TV host asked trans activist Pepe Julian Onziema a now-infamous question: “Why are you gay?” The clip went viral, spawning internet fodder around the world – but behind the memes lies a chilling reality. In this episode of Rights & Wrongs, host Ngofeen Mputubwele looks at Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act, a 2023 law that punishes same-sex intimacy with life in prison or even death. He speaks with “Emmanuel,” a young man in Kampala whose Grindr date turned into a violent police sting. Human Rights Watch researcher Oryem Nyeko explains how the law has fueled mob violence, extortion, and fear. But amid the repression, mothers of queer children are speaking up, leading the resistance in one of the world's harshest anti-LGBT climates.

TEMPORADA 31 DE LA LUZ DEL MISTERIO SPECIAL SUMMER MYSTERY Vive el Misterio... Pasa, ponte cómodo y disfruta... FROM LONDON: Una experiencia única de comunicación de La Luz del Misterio esta seamana nos lleva a conocer más datos sobre como América Latina se ha convertido en un buen destino para la creación de fachadas de los espías rusos: el caso de los agentes de Moscú que fingieron ser una familia argentina. El jueves primero de agosto de 2024 aterrizó un avión en el aeropuerto de Moscú, trasladando -entre otros pasajeros- a una familia de cuatro integrantes. Dos de ellos, los dos hijos del matrimonio, se habían enterado en pleno vuelo de que toda su vida había sido una mentira. Luego viajaremosos con Manuel Carballal a los PSYOPS: El arte del engaño: Operaciones psicológicas: la mente como campo de batalla. En el siglo V a.c. el general Sun Tzu sentenció: "El arte de la guerra se basa en el engaño" Desde entonces el arte del engaño ha sido usato como arma ne guerra e instrumento de control social. En la 1 Guerra Mundial se acuñó el término "operaciones nsicológicas" o PSYOPS para definir las técnicas con las que ganar les corazones y las mentes de los ciudadanos. Tanto enemigos como aliados... Manuel Carballal ha tenido la oportunidad de conocer a los responsables y/o testigos de algunas de las PSYOPS más increíbles de la historia, utilizando el miedo, los mitos, las creencias y el misterio como herramienta de manipulación. Y te propone un viaie alrededor del mundo, para conocer, sobre el terreno, como funcionan esas oneraciones sicológicas. Chile, Siria, Uganda, Filipinas, Perú, Egipto, Mongolia, Irlanda, Benin, Líbano, Inglaterra, Tibet, Afganistan, Haití, España.. Nadie está a salvo. "Vivimos en la mayor guerra psicológica de la historia. Un viaje sorprendente hacia la manipulación de los gobiernos y los servicios secretos. Para cerrar La Luz del Misterio y con la voz del programa relataremos los sucesos mas escabrosos de los experimentos de la CIA llevados acabos en los años 60, como fueron el MK Ultra, Orgasmo de Medianoche y la utilización de psiquicos para el conocimiento de lugares extrategicos del contrario. Los Secretos Ocultos de la CIA, Experimentos Psíquicos y MK Ultra, así lo hemos titulado. ¿Te atreves a descubrirlo esta semana La Luz del Misterio?

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.We don't do too many New York City-focused episodes on Know Your Enemy, but Zohran Mamdani's decisive win in the Democratic mayoral primary last month certainly warrants this one. The thirty-three year old democratic socialist, state assemblyman, and Muslim of Indian descent born in Uganda, ended up running away with it, defeating the runner-up, former governor and sex pest Andrew Cuomo, by over ten points—and, when all the ballots finally were counted, set a record by receiving the most votes of any candidate for mayor in a Democratic primary in the city's history.Our format in this episode is a little different. In the first half, your podcast co-hosts lay out the basics of Zohran's victory, from Zohran's biography to the final tallies to our impressions of the candidate and his message. In the second half, we're joined by veteran progressive campaign strategist Waleed Shahid to get more of an insider's take on Zohran's achievement: the campaign's stunningly effective turnout operation, which brought out young voters in droves; how he withstood the disgusting way he was attacked as an anti-semite for his protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza; the substance of his pitch to New Yorkers, and it's contrast with Cuomo's uninspiring, mostly negative campaign; the deranged Islamophobic attacks on Zohran since he became the Democratic nominee, and not only from the right; the role of current NYC comptroller and a progressive, Jewish candidate in the race, Brad Lander, who cross-endorsed Zohran, refused to punch left, and joyfully campaigned with Zohran in the final weeks leading up to the election; and more!Sources:Waleed Shahid, "How Broadcast Media Covered Zohran Mamdani's Win," Waleed's Substack, July 3, 2025Matthew Miles Goodrich, "It's...the Politics of No Translation," Something Different, July 2, 2025Sam Adler-Bell, "Can DSA Go the Distance?"

How did a former anorexic learn to hunger for God? On today's Flourish-Meant episode, we dove deep with Emily Wierenga, award-winning author and founder of the Lulu Tree, as she shared her powerful journey from battling anorexia to discovering how true fulfillment comes from hungering for God. Emily opened up about overcoming deep-rooted struggles, finding healing through serving others, and building a purpose-driven life that impacts communities worldwide. Her message? Your pain has a greater purpose and you're never alone in your struggles. Let Emily's story inspire you to pursue healing, embrace your calling, and make a difference. Key Takeaways from Emily's Story: The Roots of Disordered Eating: Emily recalls how the loss of connection and early comments about her body triggered her battle with anorexia. She powerfully reminds us that comparison often lies at the heart of eating disorders, but true healing comes from connection, not competition. A Walk Towards Healing: From the brink of death at age 13 to relapsing after marriage, Emily shares honestly about the ongoing process of healing and the importance of confronting life's root issues—not just symptoms. Finding Purpose in Service: Serving her mother during a cancer battle and later founding The Lulu Tree taught Emily that healing can multiply when we serve others. Her experience reminds us that true joy and restoration often begin with blessing the person right in front of us. Daily Practices for a Hungering Spirit: Emily shares practical wisdom: set boundaries around daily distractions, start with praise and worship, spend intentional moments in God's presence, and protect your healing by knowing and avoiding your triggers. The Power of Worship over Performance: Emily encourages us to lift our gaze from ourselves and fix our eyes on Christ, discovering our true identity in Him. Worship isn't about working harder—it's about surrendering everything. Miracles in Obedience: You'll love Emily's remarkable story from Uganda, where a prayer for multiplication resulted in more resources than they could have ever planned—proving again that God meets us when we step out in faith. Support Emily's Work & Stay Connected Want to dive deeper into Emily's journey or support The Lulu Tree? Visit emilytwierenga.com for her books, resources for eating disorder recovery, and details on The Lulu Tree's mission. Final Encouragement Emily's heartfelt message to anyone struggling with eating disorders or feelings of unworthiness: You are valuable. God has a plan and a purpose for you—and even in the darkness, hope and healing are possible when you seek Him first. We hope you're as encouraged by Emily's story as we were.

The beginning of 2025 saw significant cuts to US foreign aid, most notably with the dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Since its establishment in 1961, USAID has implemented programs in global health, disaster relief, socioeconomic development, environmental protection, democratic governance and education. What are the implications of the sharp funding cuts and other changes to U.S. foreign aid efforts both for the countries that USAID worked in as well as the U.S.' strategic interests and leadership around the world? This program will feature several panelists with extensive expertise and experience working on development and humanitarian projects for USAID in countries around the world such as Haiti, Sri Lanka, Uganda and Kenya. The speakers will share their insights on the recent changes and cuts to U.S. foreign aid and perspectives on the future of foreign aid. Learn more about your ad choices.

After more than fifteen years of missionary service in four African countries, Mark became the International Executive Director of Every Child Ministries in January 2015.

What do we do when God's calling for our child's life looks nothing like we expected? This week's episode is such a gift. I'm joined by Katie Davis Majors, a mom, missionary, and founder of Amazima Ministries who shares her journey from a planned gap year to a lifelong mission in Uganda. Her story will stretch your perspective on calling, parenting, and what it means to truly trust God with your kids.Here are four key takeaways from our conversation:God's plans often surprise us. Katie's “one-year” mission trip became a lifelong ministry and calling.Katie talks about raising kids who care deeply for others and reflect the love of Jesus.Letting go is part of faithful parenting. We don't need to control the outcome, but we do need to walk in trust.Sustainable service requires surrender; serving others shouldn't lead to burnout when it's done from a place of abiding in Christ.Katie is the founder of Amazima Ministries in Uganda, a mother of fifteen through adoption and birth, and the author of multiple books including Kisses from Katie and Safe All Along. She lives in Uganda with her family, where she continues to serve and write about faith, motherhood, and surrender.This conversation will remind you that the bravest thing we can do as parents is trust God with the story he's writing in our kids' lives.Resources Mentioned:A Great Cloud of Witnesses Prayer JournalChristian Parenting resources(00:00) Katie's Journey to Uganda and Amazima(05:51) The Impact of Compassionate Parenting(11:57) Letting Go of Control in Parenting and Ministry(18:13) Amazima's Mission and Future GoalsThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Text a Message to the ShowToday we're talking to Jake, the International Security Specialist Guy… which may or may not be his real name.  Jake has 25 years experience in law enforcement as an American cop; now he lives in Thailand and trains people who are traveling internationally into high threat environments.  Jake trains them and helps to manage crises while they're in-country, assisting them with any kind of emergency that would cause them to be ejected from that nation, from war to crime to earthquakes and other natural disasters.Traveling internationally might be the only time that many American police officers are unarmed.  They carry a gun and knife on duty and off duty but not while traveling to foreign countries, which can leave you feeling pretty exposed.  Jake is going to talk to us about how not to get kidnapped while traveling in a foreign country.  He's going to cover all kinds of scenarios including carjacking, pickpockets, and dealing with scams while traveling.Resources:The UK travel advise site: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-adviceThe US travel advise site: travel.state.govMusic is by National Sweetheart and by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 117Tags:Police, Assault, Bags, Budget, Carjacking, Guns, Kidnapping, Motorcycles, Pickpocketing, Robbery, Safety, Scams, Taxis, Trains, Transportation, Travel, Bangladesh, Djibouti, Ethiopia, France, Haiti, India, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Romania, St Maarten, Syria, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, YemenSupport the showThanks for Listening!

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Alpha Nkuranga about her deeply powerful and unforgettable memoir, Born to Walk: My Journey of Trials and Resilience (Goose Lane Editions, 2024). “My grandparents used to tell me Rwanda is a country unlike any other, and I knew they spoke the truth. Blessed with majestic mountains and breathtaking valleys, it is a sacred and spiritual land. And yet Rwandan men drenched the land in blood in acts of hate so horrific that the stains of those three years will not fade in one hundred lifetimes.” At the age of eight, Alpha Nkuranga made a fateful decision. With war raging around her, she grabbed the hand of her younger brother, Elijah, and ran from her grandparents' home. When they came to a swamp, they hid until it was safe to escape. Weeks later, they joined a group of refugees, who were fleeing to Tanzania. “If I kept walking,” Alpha remembers thinking, “I could tell my story.” Nkuranga emigrated to Canada more than a decade later. She now works with women and children who face abuse and homelessness. In Born to Walk, she tells a remarkable story of resistance and survival. About Alpha Nkuranga: Alpha Nkuranga fled her village as an eight-year-old during the Rwandan Civil War of 1994 and subsequently lived in refugee camps in Tanzania and Uganda, where she overcame the odds to graduate high school and attend university. She came to Canada as a refugee in 2010 and currently lives in Kitchener, Ontario, where she works for Women's Crisis Services of Waterloo Region. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Kaddu Sebunya, CEO of the African Wildlife Foundation, to explore Africa's wildlife future and the uncomfortable questions surrounding conservation on our continent.We discuss Kaddu's journey from Idi Amin's Uganda to leading one of the world's largest conservation organizations, the looming extinction crisis for Africa's elephants, gorillas, and rhinos, the struggle for conservation funding in a world prioritizing war over nature, and whether modern conservation is just another form of neo-colonialism.We also unpack the tough trade-offs: Should precious land in places like Kinigi go to people or wildlife? And what will Kenya's and Rwanda's wildlife look like in 30 years if we don't act now?Tune in for a deep, unflinching conversation about Africa, environment, justice, and the choices shaping our shared future.Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.

I have been looking forward to sharing the horrors of Marburg and Ebola viruses with you, but there is a lot of info so we are discussing Marburg first then Ebola next week. Just a trigger warning: Some of the descriptions of this virus and what it does to the body may be gruesome. Marburg is relatively new as a virus among humans (compared to others like smallpox or rabies), but it is a monster. It is believed to have originated in Uganda in Africa, perhaps originally transmitted via fruit bats. The world came to know about it, however, during a 1967 outbreak in Germany, brought there by infected monkeys being used at a vaccine company there. It typically starts with a throbbing headache and muscle pains, then soon causes massive clotting then hemorrhaging throughout the body. Obviously the symptoms of such are horrid, and death typically occurs within a few weeks. With an average death rate at 25% (higher in some outbreaks), it has been devastating when outbreaks occur. So let's go into more details about the virus, where the virus came from, its short history thus far, and some significant cases and outbreaks.Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Wasser ist Leben – und doch haben 2,2 Milliarden Menschen weltweit keinen Zugang zu sicherem Trinkwasser. Unser heutiger Gast Steven Hille hat das selbst erlebt, als er beim Bau eines Brunnens in Uganda half. Die Dankbarkeit der Menschen vor Ort hat ihn nicht mehr losgelassen – und führte zur Gründung der Organisation WeWater. WeWater entwickelt und verbreitet einfache, aber effektive Wasserfilter, die ohne Strom funktionieren und vor allem eins schaffen: Zugang zu sauberem Wasser – nachhaltig und auf Augenhöhe. Die NGO arbeitet rein ehrenamtlich und hat bereits zehntausende Menschen in Uganda, Kenia, Sambia, Nepal, der Republik Kongo und weiteren Regionen mit Trinkwasser versorgt. Wie aus einem Reiseblog ein Brunnen wurde. Und aus einem Brunnen eine kleine aber wirkungsvolle Bewegung – davon erzählt Steven in dieser Folge. Er spricht von seinen Erfahrungen als Volunteer, von Herausforderungen beim Aufbau der NGO – und verdeutlicht, warum es lohnt, einfach loszulegen, statt nur über Missstände zu klagen. Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Eigeninitiative, Machertum – und die Kraft, etwas zu verändern.

Listener Dickson Mukisa from Uganda has been gazing up at the stars. But he's not making wishes. He wants to know whether we can harness their energy, in the same way we do with our OWN star – the sun. After all, they may seem small and twinkly to us, but each one is a gigantic flaming ball of energy, with a power outputs averaging around 40 quadrillion kilowatt-hours per year – EACH! With somewhere between 100 and 400 BILLION stars in our own galaxy alone, that's a lot of power! Can we get ‘solar power' from stars that are such a long way away from earth? And what might we use it for? Alex Lathbridge heads to the University College London Observatory, to peer through the eyepiece of an enormous telescope and see some stars for himself. Professor Steve Fossey explains just how much of the light energy of the stars reaches us on earth. In other words, how BRIGHT they are. Once the starlight reaches earth of course, we have to capture it. Could traditional solar panels do the job? Alex meets Professor Henry Snaith from the University of Oxford, to find out about the future of photovoltaic technology, and why it could all be heading out to space. Once in space, things start getting weird! What if we made an enormous fleet of solar panels, and put them all into orbit around a star, soaking up every last drop of that precious energy? That might sound like science fiction, but the idea has been around for decades. It's called a Dyson Sphere, or Dyson Swarm. Swedish researcher at the Insitute for Future Studies, Anders Sandberg explains how we might be able to build one around a neighbouring star... in around 10,000 years or so. But maybe it's not all about light. Finally, Alex explores the mysterious, invisible energy of the ‘solar wind', with Pekka Janhunen, Finnish physicist and inventor of the “E-Sail”, which might be able to harness the power of the stellar wind, too.
