Bill Donohue comments on a bill affirming the purpose of faith-based organizations that passed the Texas House yesterday:

In recent days, Peru suffered cataclysmic devastation when, after a period of severe drought, wildfires developed that destroyed nearly 30,000 acres of land. With those conditions prevalent, when intense rains came causing flooding, 67 people were killed and thousands forced to evacuate the 115,000 homes that were damaged. Complicating the situation was the fact 100 bridges were also destroyed, making it difficult to send relief to those caught in the wake. Even in the capital city of Lima, the heavy downpour flooded outlying neighborhoods.

Approximately 52 years after his famous grandfather, Evangelist Billy Graham, preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Dothan, Ala., Will Graham followed in his footsteps by holding the Wiregrass Area Celebration. Approximately 7,700 attended the three-day outreach, which was held May 5-7 at the Dothan Civic Center.

Outpouring is incomplete and partial until the daughters of God begin to prophesy.

The Church of God Chaplains Commission, in cooperation with the Pentecostal Theological Seminary will offer a new Community Service Chaplaincy training format in June.

Following the Palm Sunday terror attack on two churches in Egypt, a three-month nationwide state of emergency was declared by the Egyptian government. Tragically, the persecution of Christians in Egypt received little media attention.

On Tuesday, May 23, “I Am Israel” will premiere and be released free of charge to churches, synagogues and Bible study groups around the world. This special event will honor the 50th anniversary of the freedom and unification of Jerusalem, which commenced after the Six-Day War of 1967.

I first became aware of the value of a local missions representative (LMR) in the local church when I pastored the Troy, Michigan Church of God in the 1970s. In our church was a lovely lady, Violet Slaght, who had a passion for missions and missionaries.

Tornadoes in East Texas tore through homes, offices and churches—but didn’t touch the hallway where 45 people were crying out to God.
