135 women and 206 children freed in Nigeria from Boko Haram
Breaking news from northeastern Nigeria. Authorities just freed 135 women and 206 children from a Boko Haram Muslim terrorist stronghold, reports The Associated Press.
We praise the Lord for this incredible news! Yet we know an uncertain future awaits these precious sisters in Christ.
Many of the women—who were widowed, kidnapped and held hostage for years by the Muslims—now have no homes or livelihoods to return to. And some have several young mouths to feed after being subjected to sexual assaults and forced marriages in the Boko Haram compound.
That’s where Global Christian Relief and their partners come in. They’re on the ground in multiple Nigerian refugee camps, meeting the needs of courageous women and innocent children who have been impacted by Boko Haram.
You could help someone like Deborah. She escaped Boko Haram after nearly two years in captivity, arriving sick and exhausted at a refugee camp. Deborah says, “Global Christian Relief’s partners assisted me and provided for all my needs. Everything — food, water, my children’s health care, shelter, a bed to lie on. May God repay you for your generosity!”
Your $36 gift through Global Christian Relief can supply displaced children and orphans with comforting toys. You can donate through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.
Nikki Haley belatedly endorses Trump
After former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley withheld her endorsement for a few months since suspending her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, she revealed she would vote for Trump during an event on Wednesday at the Hudson Institute, reports Real Clear Politics.
Listen.
MODERATOR: “Who do you think would do a better job in the White House? Joe Biden or Donald Trump?”
HALEY: “As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who is going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border — no more excuses. A president who would support capitalism and freedom, a president who understands we need less debt, not more debt.
“Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I have made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump.
“Having said that, I stand by what I said in my suspension speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me, and continue to support me, and not assume that they’re just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that.”
Supreme Court upholds new South Carolina redistricting
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of South Carolina’s redrawn congressional map, reversing a lower court decision, reports The Epoch Times.
While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People challenged the map, arguing that legislators were motivated by race when drawing district lines, Justice Samuel Alito, speaking for the majority, wrote, “[The challengers] provided no direct evidence of a racial gerrymander, and their circumstantial evidence is very weak.”
Aborting babies up to birth on South Dakota ballot
Pro-lifers in South Dakota have work to do now that a pro-abortion group has placed a proposal on the state’s November 5 ballot that seeks to ensure women can kill their unborn children up to birth, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
South Dakota’s Republican Secretary of State Monae Johnson has announced that her office has validated just over 46,000 of the 55,000 signatures supportive of a constitutional amendment, submitted by a pro-abortion group, that would codify a so-called “right” to abortion. The group surpassed the necessary 35,000 signatures.
Proverbs 1:16 says, “For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.”
Pro-life protestor and mother of 15 sentenced to 2 years in prison
Pro-life advocate and mother of 15 Heather Idoni was sentenced by Judge Colleen Kotelly to 2 years in prison for blocking access to a late-term abortion mill in the nation’s capital, reports LifeSiteNews.com.
Idoni, who recently suffered a stroke while incarcerated, was also denied home confinement despite ongoing health issues.
Last fall, Idoni, age 59, was placed in prolonged solitary confinement for 22 days and deprived of sleep with the lights in her cell kept on continually. While awaiting sentencing, she suffered a stroke three weeks ago and had to be rushed to a hospital.
Please keep Heather Idoni in your prayers.
Christian couple refused to misgender foster kids or take to “gay” pride events
And finally, a Christian couple is suing the state of Washington for denying their foster care license due to requirements that conflict with their religious beliefs, reports International Christian Concern.
Shane and Jennifer Degross are a devoted Christian couple who served as foster parents for Washington’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families from 2013 to 2022. During their service, the Degrosses provided care for four children, meeting a critical need amid Washington’s shortage of placement families.
In 2022, while reapplying for their foster care license, the Degrosses learned of new regulations requiring foster parents to use a foster child’s biologically inaccurate pronouns based on their gender confusion. The new regulations also required foster families to take children to “cultural events” such as homosexual pride parades and perverted drag queen shows.
In October 2022, the Washington state foster group did not renew the Degrosses’ foster care license for reasons because of the couple’s Christian beliefs, which teach that each person is created in the image of God, either male or female, and that sex cannot be changed.
In Mark 10:6, Jesus Himself said, “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.”
