How you can help Bahamian churches through Generations
The damage done by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas is topping $7 billion by some estimates.
That’s about 70% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. That would be equivalent to a natural disaster causing $15 trillion in the United States. The Worldview is raising money for Christian churches on the islands hardest hit.

California has now banned state travel to 8th state
The United States of America are not so united any more — with California banning state government travel to Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi because it disagrees with their conservative worldview, reports the Sacramento Bee.
The latest state to receive the travel ban is Iowa, after the legislature banned Medicaid funding for transgender surgeries.
Benny Hinn: Prosperity “Gospel” has damages a lot of people
Benny Hinn, the well-known faith preacher, says he has been back walking back the prosperity Gospel message for two years — which various online videos have substantiated, reports ChristianHeadlines.com.
He made this confession in an Encounter TV interview.
HINN: “It has damaged a lot of people.”
Saying he does not see the Bible in the same way he used to, Hinn claims he is into the Word “way more,” and now studies it for his own spiritual benefit.
Hinn said he wants to be a preacher of the Gospel which he described as the message that “Jesus, the Son of God, [who] came to earth, lived a sinless life, proved to be the Son of God, by the miracles, and by death and resurrection. And we have to preach Jesus, crucified, and Jesus resurrected. And to point people to the cross. Because the cross is life. The cross is what brings change to their life.”
Hinn preached to 7.3 million people in 3 crusades in 2007 and a total of 1.5 billion people over the years, according to BennyHinn.org.
Thank God He gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6)
Income down for young men, up for young women
The median income for young men in the work force has dropped 12%, from $46,000 to $40,500 since 1974 (adjusted for inflation).

Kendrick Brothers movie “Overcomer” has made $29 million
The Kendrick movie, Overcomer, topped $29,000,000 in its fourth week at the box office.
The film is on track to “overcome” receipts for Courageous, the Kendrick’s 2011 film, but is still falling pretty far short of War Room’s success in 2015.
This year’s box office receipts for the pro-life movie Unplanned hit $19,000,000. That compares to $5 million for the pro-life film October Baby in 2011.
Kenya’s preaching policeman
And finally, Kenya Standard Media featured a story on September 11th of a police Chief Inspector known as the “Preaching Policeman.”
William Sifuna patrols the dusty streets of Maralal with a Bible and a gun. He told KSM: “We need God’s intervention in everything we are doing as the police force.”
Before locking up the criminals, he says he preaches to them – and most of them confess and turn away from crime. Then, he also works with thieves to restitute to their victims what they have stolen.
