New Anti-Conversion Laws in India

According to Persecution.org Police in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan recently registered the first case under the state’s recently enacted anti-conversion legislation against two missionaries. The Christians were accused of carrying out religious conversions at a gathering through “allurement,” according to media reports.

After registering the case on Nov. 20, police issued notices to the two missionaries – Chandy Varghese from New Delhi and Arun John from Kota – claiming they promoted conversion and baptised several people during a three-day program known as ‘Spiritual Satsang’ at Beersheba Church in Kota.

Police investigated after videos and social media clips surfaced showing event speeches and activities. Several youths allegedly announced from the stage that they put their faith in Jesus Christ and were baptized, while calling upon others to adopt Christianity. Rajasthan is one of 12 states in India that has strict anti-conversion laws.

A first information report (FIR) was registered by the police after complaints were lodged by hardline Hindu groups active in controlling Christian activities.

2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 That we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.  But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

Christians in Uganda Threatened Despite Freedom of Religion Laws

A Sudanese Christian family in Uganda is living in fear after Muslim extremists from Sudan and Somalia threatened to kill them.

Safaa Yousif, who fled her native Sudan to Uganda due to conflict and religious persecution in 2016, received a text message from an anonymous number threatening to kill her family.

Muslims from Somalia have also threatened her.  Yousif said she once gave discipleship classes to new converts, and a Somali Muslim who had put his faith in Christ was kidnapped and tortured by his co-religionists from Somalia and Sudan.

Somalia is ranked 2nd on the Christian support group Open Doors 2025 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Its constitution establishes Islam as the state religion and prohibits the propagation of any other religion, according to the US State Department.  It also requires that laws comply with Sharia Principles, with no exceptions in application for non-Muslims.

The threats on Yousif’s family in Uganda were the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda.

An interesting fact to consider is that Uganda’s constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one’s faith and convert from one faith to another.  Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda’s population, with high concentrations in eastern areas of the country.

Pray that the Yousif family be reminded of the words of Jesus in Acts 1:7-8

It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.  But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit as come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.

New hurdle in James Comey case

The prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey hit another hurdle last Wednesday as the Justice Department encountered mounting questions about how the case was presented to a grand jury for indictment, reports the Associated Press.

The development risked further jeopardizing a politically charged prosecution already subject to multiple challenges and demands for its dismissal. It came during a hearing in which Comey’s lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff to throw out the case on grounds that the government was being vindictive and as a separate challenge to Lindsey Halligan, the hastily appointed and inexperienced prosecutor who secured the indictment, is pending.

The Justice Department’s acknowledgment under questioning from a judge that the full grand jury did not review a copy of the final indictment is the latest indication of its seemingly disjointed pursuit of a criminal case against one of President Donald Trump’s political enemies. Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017 while overseeing an FBI investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. The two have been publicly at odds ever since.

New Exoskeleton Suit is Accomplishing Miracles

At a Canadian wellness center, a unique robotic exoskeleton is allowing children with developmental disorders to walk-often for the first time.

The nonprofit’s Regina location in Canada is eager to get families to come and try it out.  It can be used to correct a child’s gait or help them take their first steps, and is suitable for a variety of conditions including spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy.

Good News Network reports that the First Steps Wellness Center in Canada received the Trexo exoskeleton out of the goodness of someone’s heart!  The $100,000 machine was donated to help children like Leo, a boy born with a rare genetic disease which left him a prognosis that walking would be impossible.  But, latched into the Trexo walker at First Steps, his mother Anna has watched her son learn to walk and develop a musculature that has him able to take steps on his own.

ANNA: “He does a few steps right now by himself, and with Trexo, I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to do more steps in the future, once we start using it more often.”

There are currently 6 Trexo exoskeletons sold and in use today.  After a few sessions, how is Leo doing today?

ANNA: “He can walk! You know, be part of everybody else, like walk like other kids. So, it’s kind of- It’s unique. He did amazing. I have butterflies. I can’t believe [this] thing even exists!”

Despite the 6 figure price tag it is the hope that more of the Trexo walkers will be made available in Canada and the US.
