Myanmar: Many parts of the Kachin State are haunted by the decades-long civil war. n these places, Majority-Christian Internally Displaced People (IDPs) have been living in terrible conditions and many struggling churches bear the responsibility to care for them. Christians in Myanmar are ready for change. The winning party of the last election brings hope for many believers across the country.

This week, prior to the swearing in of President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released a statement condemning the actions taken by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against China’s Muslim Uyghurs as a genocide.

"ICC welcomes the designation of the Uyghur genocide by the State Department. The atrocities done to the ethnic Uyghurs by the Chinese Communist Party can no longer be ignored nor tolerated. China’s systematic oppression of Uyghurs is deplorable and must be stopped." Said Gina Goh, ICC’s Regional Manager for Southeast Asia, in response to the designation.

The reporter shoud confirmed the information from different sources other wise it may be onesided.

It might not be the real ark but 750 people killed is not fake news. That's what should matter.

rest in peace eternal martyts in christ

Ark of the covenant still hidden in land of Israel….

Wow!

Wrong information!

While sad, I’m pretty certain they didn’t have the actual article.

And the world is silent. All part of population control?

Hard to confirm but there probably has been something of the sort. Civilians are being killed in this 'war' and some probably did try to defend their Holy treasures. It seems Ethiopia is led by people who don't care for the majority. It is probably a precursor to Islamicisation. The Christians of Eritrea which was once part of Ethiopia are suffering terribly now.

Ark of the Covenant?..Ron Wyatt has told something different !!

No no no! This is not true. where did you get this?????

This is so sad!

Just curious…did they succeed stealing it?

You become part of FakeNews. Sad.

Last year was supposed to bring new opportunities for Jana, an eight-year-old participant in ICC’s child sponsorship program. Her family moved into their own home and her father, a day laborer, moved to Cairo for work, but was able to regularly commute back and forth. Life was looking up.

Then, the pandemic struck and everything changed as Egypt locked down. The tumultuous situation thrust Jana into new responsibilities as her family struggled to adapt. Suddenly, eight-year-old Jana did not have the luxury of being a child anymore. On top of the lockdown, the family welcomed a baby boy into the family last year, whose life was cut tragically short due to medical complications.

Making matters worse, Jana and her younger sister were also sick and anemic, as they were struggling with parasites. The family was completely overstretched and medical help was not an option, due to the economic strain of the pandemic.

Although her family had no income for many months last year, Jana did not go hungry thanks to her involvement in Hope House. When she began suffering from parasites, our team brought her to a doctor.

Persecution and COVID-19 have brought extremely difficult circumstances to Egypt’s Christian children, forcing them to mature faster than their age. But through Hope House, your support has given them breathing space to simply exist as children. Read more: bit.ly/3iAa3tD … See MoreSee Less
