Endorsement of Wendy Davis Triggers National Boycott of Girl Scout Cookies

by Austin Ruse

A part of every Thin Mint and Do-Si-Do, every Samoa and Savannah Smile goes to support abortion advocacy. So say John Pisciotta, who runs a tiny pro-life organization in Waco, Texas, and a dozen national pro-life organizations he has convinced to join him in a national boycott of Girl Scout cookies that will be announced in Texas tomorrow.

A few weeks ago, the Girl Scouts designated Wendy Davis as an “incredible woman” who deserved to be on the list of 2013 “Women of the Year.” Only a month earlier, the organization promoted Kathleen Sebelius as a woman of “courage” on its Facebook page.

Davis is not known for much more than exaggerating her life story and for her filibuster of a pro-life bill in the Texas legislature. Her critics point out that the bill she filibustered was one that limited abortions after viability.

Kathleen Sebelius has been the bête noir of the pro-life movement for her role in Obamacare and mandating abortion coverage even for religious entities, what some Catholic bishops have called the largest expansion of abortion in the country since Roe v. Wade.

All this was too much for Pisciotta, who will ask families across America not to participate in the Girl Scouts’ fundraising through cookie sales.

SYRIA: Mother and Daughter Persecuted for Christian Faith

Sources: VOM USA, Release International

A Syrian mother and her daughter are under fire for their new
Christian faith. Three years ago, “Karima” learned about the love of
Jesus and became a devoted follower. As the married mother of three,
she hoped her husband “Ismaeil,” a Muslim, might also believe.
Instead, he became even more devoted to his Muslim faith and trained
as an imam (an Islamic spiritual leader).

Ismaeil forbade Karima and their daughter, who had also converted to
Christianity, from reading the Bible or sharing their faith with
others. About two months ago, he also began beating Karima.
Fortunately, recent health challenges have prevented him from abusing
her further.

Elsewhere in the country, other Christians are facing opposition from
Islamic radical groups. Much of the north, for example, has come under
the control of militant groups attempting to impose a strict Islamic
ideology on the area.

Pray that God will shield and protect Karima and her daughter,
surrounding them with His favour (Psalm 5:12). Also lift up her son
who has recently started attending church. May his faith grow and be
deeply rooted. Pray that Ismaeil will repent of his abuse toward his
wife and recognize his need for a Saviour, joining his family in
worshipping the one true God. Please also intercede on behalf of all
believers throughout Syria, that they will continue to follow Jesus at
any cost.

RECENT PRISONER UPDATES

CHINA: Pastor Charged with ‘Fraud’ and ‘Disrupting Public Order’

Source: Forum 18 News

Zhang Shaojie, 49, a pastor detained in November of 2013 along with
over 20 other Christians, has been charged with committing fraud and
gathering a mob to disrupt public order. His criminal hearing has been
scheduled for February 12th.

Pastor Zhang and his state-approved church began facing opposition
from authorities after the county government reneged on an agreement
to allocate a piece of land for the church to construct a new
building. The incarceration of the believers came as a surprise to
many observers, as the communist government typically targets
unregistered congregations. (For more information on Pastor Zhang’s
arrest, please visit http://www.persecution.net/cn-2013-11-28.htm
).

Thankfully, by mid-January, several of the imprisoned Christians had
been freed. On January 24th, three additional believers — Ms. Zhao
Xiping, Ms. Yang Miling and Ms. Sheyin Duanmu — were also released.
The conditions of their release were not yet known at last report.

Thank the Lord for the release of these dear sisters in Christ! Ask
God to be near Pastor Zhang and his legal counsel as they prepare for
his criminal hearing. May the legal authorities act justly,
recognizing Pastor Zhang’s innocence and releasing him to his family.
Pray that the other believers who remain imprisoned will also soon be
freed. Bring the country of China to God in prayer, asking Him to
powerfully use His church to bring glory to His name.

KAZAKHSTAN: Criminal Trial Begins for Retired Pastor

Source: Forum 18 News

Eight months after his arrest, retired pastor Bakhytzhan Kashkumbayev
arrived in court on January 22nd for the first hearing in his criminal
trial. He faces charges of harming health, inciting hatred,
propagating extremism and leading an organization that harms others.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of about six to ten years’
imprisonment each. He denies all wrongdoing. (For more details on his
arrest, go to http://www.persecution.net/kz-2013-10-17.htm
.)

The 67-year-old pastor has gone deaf in one ear and has suffered heart
problems during the long months he has spent in prison and a
psychiatric hospital. His trial will resume after January 31st.

Elsewhere in the country, two Christians were imprisoned for 48 hours,
beginning on January 9th, for refusing to pay fines that were given as
punishment for exercising their freedom of religion “without state
permission.” Numerous fines continue to be levied for this “offence.”

Pray the Lord’s favour will be upon Pastor Bakhytzhan and his legal
team, and that the truth of his case will be brought to light. May he
soon be acquitted of all charges and released. Pray, too, that God
will completely heal and restore him. As others face fines or even
imprisonment for exercising their religious freedom, ask God to use
them and their suffering to strengthen fellow believers and encourage
the growth of His church in Kazakhstan.

Kerry Mideast Peace Plan: Palestinian capital in Arab East Jerusalem and…

By The Right Scoop

Not only is the Obama administration calling for the dividing of Israel with a near complete withdrawal from Judea and Samaria, but also the dividing of Jerusalem as well:

ARUTZ SHEVA – US Secretary of State John Kerry is about to present a plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) that will call for a phased Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria based on the 1949 lines, with “unprecedented” security arrangements in the strategic Jordan Valley, writes Thomas Friedman in the New York Times – one of the journalists considered most close to the Obama administration.

Obama promotes homosexuality and universal preschool in State of the Union – again

by Ben Johnson

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 29, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The annual State of the Union Address is a time for the president to unveil his political agenda for the coming year and ask Congress to pass it. But President Obama largely showed the nation how he would work around the institution through executive orders and regulations – boasting of his dedication to homosexuality and federally funded preschool, as he did last year.

At no point did he directly address abortion, something he avoided last year as well. He took the opportunity of the nation’s most-watched political speech to say that ObamaCare is “fixing” the nation’s health care sytem.

However, nestled in a paragraph about how First Lady Michelle Obama “sets a good example” for the country, Obama said, “Across the country, we’re partnering with mayors, governors, and state legislatures on issues from homelessness to marriage equality.”

“The point is, there are millions of Americans outside Washington who are tired of stale political arguments, and are moving this country forward,” he said.

Critics say the president’s actions disregard the large percentage of Americans who reject redefining marriage and harm the nation as a whole.
