11 YWAM missionaries killed in Tanzania bus accident
On February 24th, 11 missionaries with Youth With A Mission died in a tragic traffic accident near Arusha, Tanzania, reported The Christian Post.
Darlene Cunningham, who founded YWAM with her husband, Loren, who passed away from cancer in 2023, said, “I am personally reeling from the weight of this news, as I knew and loved many of these individuals personally. But I am leaning into the character of God for what I know to be true about who He is!
“Participants in the ‘Executive Masters in Leadership’ course, based at YWAM Arusha, Tanzania, took a field trip in two buses to Maasai land, where they observed our thriving community development program.
“On the return trip to Arusha, a truck, that had lost its brakes, smashed into our second bus, literally crushing it from top to bottom. Eleven of our beloved friends were killed and eight others are severely wounded, battling for their lives. We have not seen a tragedy of this magnitude in all of YWAM’s history and we are all devastated.”
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Survivors of Hamas’ attack sue crypto firm for funding terror group
Jewish survivors of the October 7th attack by Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group, as well as the loved ones of those still being held hostage in the Gaza Strip, are alleging the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange has allowed the terror group to raise funds using its platform, reports Fox Business.
A lawsuit against Binance, filed by the National Jewish Advocacy Center in the U.S. Middle District Court of Alabama, states the crypto exchange has allowed Hamas to raise funds without any consequences. Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 people, injured 6,900 others, and kidnapped 239 people.
The lawsuit states, “For such an attack to be successful or even contemplated, significant funding was necessary. Defendants’ contributions to the funding of this attack cannot be overstated.”
Between January 2018 and May 2022, Binance facilitated nearly $900 million in transactions between customers in the United States and Iran, a violation of U.S. sanctions. Iran is known to finance terrorist groups, such as the Lebanon-based Hezzbollah.
Biden and Trump went to southern border last Thursday
Last Thursday, President Joe Biden went to the border at Brownsville, Texas where few illegal immigrants cross the border, ranked the 29th-most trafficked town by illegal border-crossers, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, reports Fox News.
In an attempt to confuse the voters who are upset with Biden for allowing 8 million illegals enter America since he’s been in office, the president called for Donald Trump and Republicans to support his bogus border security bill.
BIDEN: “I understand my predecessor is in Eagle Pass, [Texas] today. So, here’s what I would say to Mr. Trump. Instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. We can do it together. You know, and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country has ever seen. So, instead of playing politics with the issue, why don’t we just get together and get it done?”
Needless to say, Biden was the one playing politics.
When Donald Trump appeared at Eagle Pass, Texas last Thursday, one of the most trafficked towns on the southern border with Mexico, where hundreds of thousands have illegally crossed, he said this.
TRUMP: “Now, the United States is being overrun by the Biden migrant crime. It’s a new form of vicious violation to our country. It’s migrant crime. We call it Biden migrant crime. Every time you hear the term ‘migrant crime,’ you know where that comes from, allowing millions and millions of people to come in.”
Possible foreign terrorists coming across southern border
In 2022 and 2023, take a listen to the number of foreign nationals who have been found crossing our southern border illegally. According to data leaked to Fox News by Customs and Border Protection, there have been 26,113 Chinese, 12,604 Russians, 6,386 Afghans, 3,153 Egyptians, 659 Iranians, and 538 Syrians.
Appearing on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity, former President Trump concluded that these foreign nationals, from countries hostile to America, are up to no good.
TRUMP: “So, you have 28,000 from China, all fighting age. You don’t see women and you don’t see men much older than that. It’s from 18 to 25, 26 years old. There’s something going on. And they’re coming from Yemen that we’re bombing. They’re coming from prisons in the Congo, [Africa]. These are rough people that are coming in.”
HANNITY: “Why would they make that long journey to our southern border? And my fear is that we have in this country, because these illegals are not vetted, I fear that terrorist cells have set up in this country that will plot, plan, scheme the next 9/11 or worse. I pray to God, as I said, I’m wrong. I don’t think I’m wrong, Mr. President.”
Heroic garbageman saves man, woman and dog from burning home
And finally, on February 27th, when two garbage men in Tipton, England saw fires ripping through a small brick townhome, they sprung into action and rescued a man, woman, and their dog, reports Good News Network.
Steve Whitehouse said, “I saw a young woman screaming from the balcony and all I could think was that I needed to get to her as quickly as possible.”
Whitehouse climbed up to a first-floor balcony three times to rescue the trio from the flames. He first carried the woman down, but when he turned back to help the young man, he found he was shouting to his dog, still inside. Bundling the dog in a blanket, Whitehouse climbed down and told the owner to throw the dog to him. After catching him, the garbageman returned up to the balcony to help the man.
Meanwhile, the other garbage man, Kevin Marriott, went door to door shouting for people to get clear of the connected townhomes.
Senior firefighter Chris Green told the BBC, “I have no doubt that without Steve’s incredible bravery the outcome could have been very different. I have no idea how he managed to do what he did. It was heroic. The fire and smoke were coming out of the property’s rear door like a blow torch.”
In John 15:13, Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” In this case, garbage man Steve Whitehouse was willing to lay down his life for strangers.
