World Congress of Families managing director Larry Jacobs today called on the international pro-life and pro-family network to pray for peace in Ukraine. “We are concerned about the crisis in Ukraine and pray for world leaders to come together to promote peace and resolve the conflict,” Jacobs said. “We echo Pope Francis’s prayer, ‘that all parts of the country work to overcome misunderstandings and to build together the future of the nation.’ We have many Christian friends and pro-family leaders of all faiths in all regions of Ukraine. We pray for their safety and their important work to promote authentic human rights, encourage the natural family, and protect human life from conception to natural death.”

Leprosy is a largely forgotten disease in the West, but it’s still greatly feared across Asia, where each year it infects and maims hundreds of thousands. Even for those fortunate enough to find treatment, the social stigma associated with this ancient disease makes life nearly impossible for its victims. Through its leprosy ministry, Gospel for Asia (GFA) reached out to these victims with the transforming love of Jesus and brings awareness to this highly-curable disease on World Leprosy Day, Jan. 26.
