Myanmar ceasefire extended to June 30 despite consistent violations
The military junta ruling Myanmar announced last week that it would extend a temporary ceasefire, originally established in early April, to June 30, reports International Christian Concern.
A massive earthquake struck the country in late March, killing 3,700 people and necessitating extensive relief work in hard-hit civilian areas.
Opposition militias agreed to the extended ceasefire, creating hope for improved humanitarian conditions in June despite regular junta violations of the ceasefire up to now. In the first three weeks of the ceasefire alone, the U.N. tracked at least 172 junta attacks, including airstrikes and artillery assaults.
The open-source research group Bellingcat documented that at least 22 villages were bombed by the junta in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Senator Cruz wants June to be “Life” month because Roe was overturned
Last Thursday, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas introduced a resolution to designate June as Life month to honor the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s monumental Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022.
CRUZ: “Three years ago, the Supreme Court made an historic advance in the cause of life in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The court overturned Roe v. Wade, a flawed decision that for nearly 50 years enshrined one of the most disturbing notions in our constitutional history: that the Constitution somehow protects the right to end the life of an unborn child.
“The fact is, Roe had nothing to do with the Constitution. It was invented whole cloth. It was the product of judicial activism, nine justices legislating from the bench. And that dangerous path took decades to correct.
“Thankfully, in 2022, Roe was overturned. Dobbs did not impose any new policies from the bench. Instead, the task of protecting life falls where it always should have been — not in the hands of unelected judges, but in the hands of the American people.”
Canadian pastor imprisoned for objecting to Drag Queen Story Hour
Calgary Pastor Derek Reimer, a street preacher who has had the courage to object to drag queen story hours for children in libraries, is back in jail in Alberta, Canada, reports the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The conviction came after Reimer confronted a library manager over a Drag Queen Story Hour event, reports Rebel News.
Wearing a GoPro, he walked into the library, spoke to a few attendees, and eventually found the room where the event was taking place. He told the manager the program was “pervert grooming” and warned, “We’re going to make your name public and hold you accountable.” Security escorted him out peacefully.
Later, he posted the video online — along with the manager’s name, workplace, and the library phone number — calling on viewers to voice their opposition. Only one person reportedly contacted her, but the librarian testified that she became afraid of what might happen next. She shut down her social media accounts and said Reimer’s words left her anxious and fearful.
The 38-year-old pastor was arrested and accused of breaching the house arrest condition of his sentence for simply participating in a public rally before his own court appearance.
Pastor Reimer, who has now been jailed unjustly at the Calgary Remand Centre for over a month, has been treated badly.
The judicial officials have blocked all visitors from seeing him, even the ones who were pre-approved. The only ones allowed to visit Pastor Reimer are his wife, Mona, and their baby.
Derek’s lawyer, Andrew Mackenzie, hopes that media attention on Reimer’s unfair treatment will lead to a more positive outcome.
Concerned Christian friends have been gathering for a rally of support at the Remand Centre every Sunday afternoon at 4:30pm, protesting Pastor Reimer’s incarceration and bail denial.
Please pray for justice to be served on Pastor Reimer’s next court date on Monday, June 23rd.
On June 5th, Pastor Reimer posted Psalm 138:7 on his Facebook page. It says, “Though I am surrounded by troubles, [God] You will protect me from the anger of my enemies, You reach out Your hand and the power of Your right hand saves me.”

The American Miracle movie tells story of former slaves fighting British
The American Miracle movie debuts tonight in 1,000 theaters across America for three days only!
Based on Michael Medved’s book by the same name, it tells the story of God’s hand in the founding of the United States.
TESTIMONIAL 1: “I thought it was extraordinary just to see the hand of God on the United States of America. It’s absolutely undeniable! The schools are doing everything they can to erase our history. We have an opportunity and an obligation to share the true history of the country.”
Cameron Arnett, a black Christian actor known for films by the Kendrick Brothers like The Forge and Overcomer, said this.
ARNETT: “I play Peter Salem. He gets introduced to George Washington as a hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill. What I love about this kind of stuff is that we are now unearthing a slew of black heroes that we weren’t fortunate enough to grow up with, but that our children will be able to grow up with, because now the stories are being told.”
Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple was amazed.
HARPER: “One of the aspects that touched me a lot was the African-American experience in the founding of our nation and in the battles that we fought, how there was a spirit of unity that we don’t hear a lot about today.”
The enthusiasm for The American Miracle movie is contagious.
TESTIMONIAL 2: “Something that I’ve learned in the film tonight is that we cannot underestimate how great our God is and how powerful He is and how much He does govern the affairs of men.”
Indeed, Daniel 4:17 says, “The Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on Earth.”
Go to www.AmericanMiracleMovie.com, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, type in your zipcode, and purchase tickets for tonight, Tuesday or Wednesday since it’s only in the theaters for three days.
