Russia launched airstrikes against residential Ukraine
Russia carried out airstrikes on residential buildings across Ukraine yesterday. The attacks killed at least 22 civilians and injured 138 more people.
Evangelical Focus reports one of the missiles severely damaged the building of New Life Church in the capital city of Kyiv. Thankfully, no one was in the structure at the time. The church is known for providing shelter and aid to people fleeing the war in the east.
This attack came only 10 days after Russian airstrikes hit the building of another Evangelical church in eastern Ukraine.
50 percent of Danish young people believe in God or a “higher power”
A growing share of young people in Denmark are expressing interest in God and the Bible.
A report from the Danish Bible Society found about half of 16 to 30-year-olds believe there is a God or a “higher power.” These young people are more open to faith than the rest of the population. They are also more likely to attend church and to be interested in the Bible than older generations.
Among young people, men proved to be the most religious. One in three young men in Denmark attended a church service recently, and one in five reads the Bible weekly.
Franklin Graham preached to 20,000 in Madrid, Spain
Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with nearly 20,000 people in Madrid, Spain over the weekend.
GRAHAM: “The Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Jesus Christ came to save sinners. He took your sins to the cross. He died in your place. He shed His own blood. He did this for you.”
Nearly a thousand Evangelical churches across 15 denominations participated in the event. The number of Evangelical churches in Spain has been growing in recent decades in the Catholic-majority country.
Trump’s Executive Order on childhood vaccines
In the United States, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on childhood vaccines last Friday.
The order directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update the childhood vaccine schedule based on an assessment by the Department of Health and Human Services.
This assessment found that the United States recommends more childhood vaccines than any peer nation. It also noted that most peer nations do not implement vaccinations by mandate.
Washington Nationals baseball team fired anti-Catholic PR man
An American professional baseball team fired a top official last week for religious discrimination.
Sean Hudson worked as the Director of Community Relations for the Washington Nationals. A recent undercover video exposed him for discriminating against the team’s Catholic pitcher, Trevor Williams.
Hudson excluded Williams from social media promotions because of his religious beliefs.
Listen.
HUDSON: “One of our pitchers, Dude Trevor Williams, he is very Catholic. The Dodgers had a group out to the stadium who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. He went on, like, a social media, like, ‘This is wrong. This is my religion. You all are mocking it.’ Because of that, we don’t use him on social.”
Since the undercover video came out, the Nationals fired Hudson and apologized to Williams.
U.S. abortionists killed nearly 100,000 babies in January
Abortion providers killed an estimated 99,470 babies in the womb in January 2026. This number comes from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute.
Last year’s average number of abortions per month was 93,872.
Life News commented, “The Guttmacher figures are indeed estimates, given the number of abortions taking place at home via the mail, with limited data regarding what proportion of pills mailed are actually consumed by the recipient, saved for later use, discarded, or even prevented by abortion pill reversal medication.”
Museum of the Bible launches series on Bible’s U.S. influence
And finally, the Museum of the Bible is launching new exhibits and events this year for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The museum is hosting a series of lectures starting this month about the Bible’s role in the founding of the United States.
Next month, the museum plans to debut two exhibits on the Bible’s influence on early America.
Their website says, “From America’s earliest days, no text has left a deeper mark on the nation’s ideals, laws, and culture than the Bible. As America marks its 250th anniversary, Museum of the Bible invites you to explore this story like never before.”
Psalm 111:2 and 4 says, “The works of the LORD are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them. … He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.”
