Kim Phuc, Woman in Iconic 1972 Vietnam War Photo, Learns to Forgive through Her Christian Faith

By Isaiah Narciso (news@gospelherald.com) Jun 27, 2015

The iconic image that portrayed the horrors of the Vietnam War featured a 9-year-old girl running away naked from a napalm attack, suffering from burns back in 1972. That girl, Kim Phuc, recently met the photographer who shot that famous picture and is now a Christian.

According to Dianne Bourne of the Mirror, 52-year-old Phuc reunited with Vietnamese photographer Nick Ut, who took the picture that made front page news around the world, in England. She now works as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and campaigns for peace around the world.

“When I look at the image I’m just amazed that I’m still alive, I’m so grateful and thankful for that,” Phuc said. “I have learned from tragedy, from the pain, from the challenges, and I’m so grateful to be healed.”

American Woman Raised by Lesbians Campaigns in Australia in FAVOR of Traditional Marriage

Teresa Neumann : Aug 18, 2015 : Australian Broadcasting Corporation

“What is government’s interest in marriage? It’s really not about affirming the connections that we have with one another. It has to do with the product of those unions and there’s something distinct about the product of a union between heterosexuals. What’s distinct is that they make babies and those babies have rights and those babies deserve protection.” -Katy Faust

(Australia) – As Australia is being pressured into voting to legalize gay marriage, proponents of traditional marriage are lending their support to the nation. One is Katy Faust, an American woman who was raised by lesbians and wants the world to know that children have a “right” to a father. (Video shot via ABC Australia)

Recently, Tony Jones, of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviewed Faust. The following are excerpts from that interview:

TONY JONES: How is it that the daughter of lesbian mothers has become a leading opponent of gay marriage? How does that work?

KATY FAUST: Simply because I recognized that while my mother was a fantastic mother and most of what I do well as a mother myself I do because that’s how she parented me, she can’t be a father. Her partner, an incredible woman – both of these women have my heart – cannot be a father either. Children have a right to be in relationship with their mother and father whenever possible, and as a society, we shouldn’t normalize a family structure that requires children to lose one or both parents to be in that household.

Doctors give up – Woman miraculously saved from brain aneurysm through prayer

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We serve a God of miracles!

A few weeks ago, Ps Daniel received a call from a desperate lady in QLD crying on the phone.

She said, “My very good friend is in ICU. As she was rushed in to hospital, she suddenly had a brain aneurysm. She is on life support. I am standing by her. The doctors have given up hope, they want to turn off the life support tonight.

They have asked the family to say their final goodbye, but Pastor I know that Jesus can heal her and bring her back to life. I have told the family not to give up, but to trust in God for a miracle. Can you please pray?”

Ps Daniel stated, “This woman had so much faith, that she even challenged me. So I asked her to take the phone into the ICU and put it on the woman’s ear.”

PLEASE TAKE TIME AND READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN & NATION – Ps Daniel

Dear friends & family in Christ,

Will the church fail the nation once again?? Who did Jesus hang out with??

I have been asked by some Christians as to why I am joining up with right wing extremist groups, as the media calls these groups white supremacist, red necks, neo-Nazis and the list goes on.

Let me share my heart with you. For years now I have watched the church not advancing in the west but rather retreating. This is a very sad situation. While there are some mega churches, one needs to ask the question, are they focused on entertainment or discipleship?

Charles Spurgeon stated some 100 years ago, “The church needs shepherds leading the sheep, but there will come a day that clowns will be entertaining the goats”.

All through Europe in particular the church has lost her identity, and is no longer a voice in the community, where as Islam is absolutely on an onward march to capture Europe, with some ONE MILLION foot soldiers crossing into Europe in the past few months from the Middle East.

All throughout Europe churches are closing down and mosques are opening up. In Britain alone some 2000 churches have been converted into mosque in the past 10 years.

With some 70% of our nation stating that national security is their greatest worry the governments are struggling to find an answer to the Islamic terror caused by Islam.

So as a Christian Minister, why am I keeping the company of the Aussie Patriotic groups?

Gospel Still Spreading Despite Nepal’s New Constitution That Bans Converting Others

Christian Aid Mission Staff : Nov 13, 2015 : Gospel Herald

“When there was persecution, professing the name of Christ was very costly, but since the government became secular there’s freedom, and because of that there’s a lot of false teaching coming in, so it’s imperative that they know what true teaching is.”

(Nepal)—Nepal has quietly enshrined a long-time ban on proselytizing in its new constitution. For an indigenous ministry in Nepal that has long found ways to quietly proclaim Christ as Lord, that means business as usual.

As did the interim constitution of the prior seven years, the new constitution signed by Nepal’s president on Sept. 20 outlaws “any act to convert another person from one religion to another or any act or behavior to undermine or jeopardize the religion of another,” with violations punishable by prison and/or fines.

Christian Ministry In Nepal Competing for ‘Gospel Truth’ Against ‘False Teaching’ of Prosperity Preachers

The Christian Post – Stoyan Zaimov – November 15th, 2015

Nepalese Christians pray during their National Convention in Kathmandu April 20, 2010. The Nepalese Christians demanded the timely drafting of the constitution.

A Christian ministry in Nepal has reflected on the changing political currents in Nepal, and noted that as room for preaching the Gospel has grown, so has “false teaching” coming from groups such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and prosperity gospel preachers.

“When there was persecution, professing the name of Christ was very costly, but since the government became secular there’s freedom, and because of that there’s a lot of false teaching coming in, so it’s imperative that they know what true teaching is,” one ministry director working from Nepal said in a press release shared by Christian Aid Mission.

“With Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, prosperity gospel and others coming in, that problem is increasing, and the people that they are shepherding need to get fed the truth of the Scripture.”

Soccer superstar Ronaldo survived mom’s illegal abortion attempt

LISBON, Portugal, November 12, 2015 (LifeSiteNews)

Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese soccer is alive today only because the law at his conception prohibited a legal abortion, and he survived in utero an illegal, but ineffective folkloric alternative abortion method.

Ronaldo’s origins have come under focus recently because of a just-released documentary film, Ronaldo, and a recent book.

The film is structured around Ronaldo’s intense desire to win the league’s best player award—the Ballon d’Or—over soccer rival Lionel Messi.

But The London Telegraph observes, “At the edge of the frame is an insightful and rather sad portrait of addiction, loneliness and a yearning to fill a hole that can never be filled.” The Telegraph says that need is to please a father who was first absent because of alcoholism and then because of an early, drink-induced death.

Christians facing ‘Indonesian jihad’ as churches burned on imams’ orders: report

By Edmund DeMarche –  November 12, 2015 – FoxNews.com

A 153-foot statue of an open-armed Jesus famously towers high above the Indonesian city of Manado, but Christians are under siege in the world’s fourth-most populous country, according to a disturbing new report.

The Southeast Asian nation, where about 90 percent of its 250 million people are Muslim, has long been seen as seen as an example that a large Muslim majority can live in relative peace alongside minority religions, like Christianity and Hinduism. But in October, there was a troubling outburst in violence in the Sharia-law governed region of Aceh. At the urging from Islamic leaders, hundreds of Muslims took to the streets with machetes and torched area churches.

“We will not stop hunting Christians and burning churches. Christians are Allah’s enemies,” one Islamic leader said, according to a report by the Gatestone Institute titled, “The Indonesian Jihad on Christian Churches.”

Pakistan: Christians build churches despite death threats

November 9, 2015 – by Robert Spencer

Javed David doesn’t seem to understand the situation. Muslims have threatened David and warned him to stop building new churches. So why is he going ahead? Why is he needlessly and recklessly poking them in the eye? They told him they didn’t like this activity — doesn’t he realize how much he is harming Muslim-Christian dialogue by provoking Muslims in this way?

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which understands very well that the dialogue must be preserved at all costs and all activities that offend Muslims must be ended immediately, should send an emissary or two over to Lahore to explain present-day realities to David and to the Rev. Sohail Farman.

Perhaps an Eastern Catholic bishop, one with an Arabic background and a sterling record of silencing and ostracizing those who speak out against Muslim persecution of Christians, could take one of his trusted priests, one who knows that those who oppose jihad and Islamic supremacism are an ongoing danger to the church, and they could go over to Lahore together and explain to David and Farman that Islam is at its core a Religion of Peace, as long as Christians don’t cross any red lines and do anything to goad the poor dears into doing something violent — violence for which the Christians would be entirely responsible, of course.

How Might a Brother Consider His Anger as a Christian vs. an “Angry Black Man”?

November 04, 2015 – The Gospel Coalition – Tony Carter

I’m angry, and I don’t really care what they say (I don’t really care what they say) I’m angry, nobody better get in my way (nobody better get in my way) – “Anger Management” by Lecrae.

I grew up around angry men. My father, my uncles, my brothers all at some time or another demonstrated what is commonly known as the “angry black man” syndrome. Some were seemingly able to control it and didn’t get in to too much trouble. Others however (too many in fact), tragically hurt others and themselves out of anger. I have known my own share.

I recall (not so fondly) a few years ago having an argument with my wife over something frivolous. While I was busy making my point and demanding my rightness, she looked at me and said the words I have never forgotten, “Honey you are right, but why do you get so angry?” I have never forgotten those words. They cut me to the core. It was as if the Lord himself spoke them to me. And in one sense, he had. I pledged on that day to fight that sin head on.

Islamic State plotting to infiltrate, destabilize Balkans

November 6, 2015 – by Robert Spencer

“A senior diplomatic official from the region tells The Washington Times that Croatian intelligence has identified a possible Islamic State leader who is setting up in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina and beginning to organize scores of Islamist fighters who left the Balkans to join the Islamic State or al Qaeda’s Nusra Front in war-torn Syria and Iraq and have since returned home.”

They shouldn’t be allowed to return home. Their going and joining such groups should be considered an act of treason, as those groups are at war with the Balkans and everywhere else.

“Islamic State plotting to infiltrate, destabilize Balkans, intelligence suggests,” by John Solomon, Washington Times, November 5, 2015:

As Croatian voters go to the polls Sunday to potentially unseat remnants of the country’s communist past, there is growing intelligence that the Islamic State may be setting its eye on infiltrating and destabilizing the Balkans.
