Then years of the Arab Spring

The situation in Tunisia, Sudan and Syrian Kurdistan has changed for the better.

The self-governing Kurdish, partly Christian-Aramaic north-east Syria has become a positive example. It emulates the example of the autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. Here as there, the democratic order is supported by the Christians. About both autonomous rights, however, the probable danger of Turkish incursions.

In Egypt Copts, Anglicans and Free Churches have a better time today.

The Assad regime with all the problems is still on power, but the Syrian Christians are saved from their own indigenous extermination or displacement.

In Iraq, the refuge of Christians from other parts of the country to autonomous Kurdistan has proven successful. Even in Baghdad, Basra and other countries, Christian Assyrians and Chaldeans, Baptists or Pentecostal Christians are no longer fair game for Islamists and criminals.

 

 

 

 

 

More and more refugees find Jesus in South Africa

“I know a lot of refugees who want to become Christians, but they are too scared,” said Zawadi. Zawadi’s decision to follow Christ pleased her husband David, who had prayed for his wife for ten years.

Zawadi’s husband had been a Christian for some time and he attended a refugee congregation in the city. But for long time he did not experience real discipleship. “Many churches are simply interested to have a good and funny weekly worship experience,” explain the Yngsdals.

“But many visitors leave the service every week spiritually starved and therefore without the supernatural strength that is necessary to life a changed life.”

Discipleship is when the leader orients himself to the needs of his people and not the other way around. Jesus called to build people up and provide them. He says in Matthew 28:19: Go to everyone and make them to people, who are ready to learn from me every day.
