This is exactly the kind of thing that I was wanting information about with how we could help make a difference. I have more good news - a strong Christian leader is stepping forward - Franklin Graham plans to visit all 50 states and ask Christians to make commitments. I pray that there is a huge turnout in every state. Here is the link to the story - http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/05/franklin-graham-launches-50-state-decision-america-2016-tour-iowa/Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420326421287420092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-82506904116232685852016-01-04T13:40:00.376-06:002016-01-04T13:40:00.376-06:00Very well said!

Both organizations are recommended by Johnnie Moore as humanitarian groups that are making a difference. Like Mr. Moore, I do not want to stand before God and tell them I did nothing when my fellow Christians were in need. Pray about it …. and then GET INVOLVED!

But about a month ago, Glenn Beck organized a huge undertaking- getting 2 or 3 busloads of Iraqi Christians out of there after they had been targeted by ISIS. People in the US gave lots of money to help make this happen. They had to come up with some way of vetting these people because the US wouldn't let them come here- they'd already been refused though the Muslims had been allowed to come. I don't know enough about why that happened, but the country that did accept them was Slovakia where they are now living with the continuing support of organizations Glenn Beck gathered together for this purpose. They all say they hope to support themselves as quickly as possible, to educate their children, and to give back in some way because someone cared. Someone helped them when they were in the darkest hours.. Say what you want about Glenn Beck... He told us 4 years ago all these awful things would happen because he was researching it. No one wanted to hear his words then but they are starting to listen. So you ask if anyone is actually DOING anything. The answer is 'Yes'. And more is in planning stages. More will be asked of more people and we had better get off our butts and help each other out because this is real now. Just a letter to a congressman won't be enough. We have to follow the true, honest actions of those who are helping and be part of the group. If your church is raising money, collecting clothes and supplies for Christians on the run, help make it happen. Some will have the resources to do much more- like Glenn Beck did. Lots of people assisted him in his endeavor and now countries have even asked about how they vetted the refugees to make sure they weren't taking in ISIS operatives.. and it's working. The worst thing you can do is remain silent because it's too terrible to think about and besides, it's not 'happening here yet'... but it is. We are making our country more porous and accepting of anti-Christian ideology and even discrimination all the time. Christians seem to be the only group you can openly trash and get away with it every time. No one wants to be the 'uncool' kid in school talking about the Lord. Sadly, I've watched kids graduate high school and come out of college as atheists spouting all kinds of progressive talking points, talking about how offended they are by morality, and it gets more murky from there. So, in answer to the question, "What can I do?".. Look in the mirror, see that you are the one that has to answer this for yourself. Don't just write a check to some mega-church. Research people who are having some success and see how you can help. See if you can be part of Glenn Beck's team somewhere. And remember.. someday your own faith will be asked of you. How will you answer? Will you convert to Islam? Will you stand your ground? Will you hope there will be people still left to help you? here is a link.. http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/53857-how-glenn-beck-is-helping-persecuted-christians-escape-isissamadhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402669282794817685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-56009722265678465422016-01-03T08:24:47.690-06:002016-01-03T08:24:47.690-06:00Kim, fervent prayer is certainly a mighty weapon a...Kim, fervent prayer is certainly a mighty weapon against this barbarity. And at the end of Part 2 on tomorrow's post, I will list how we can financially help a couple of bold organizations who are on the ground trying to assist our fellow Christians during this genocide. Do not despair! God raises up those who are willing to do the difficult and dangerous work on behalf of His people. Unfortunately, it is not the mainstream Christian Church, who is asleep to the fact that our own churches may well become the next targets.

Some compare it to the silence when the Jews were taken, tortured, and killed by the Nazi's. <br />What action can we take, other than prayer, Belle? I wish a great Christian leader would stand to make the first move and ask for us to follow. I just think that your typical Christian doesn't have any clue where to go or what to do. Perhaps write to our Senators and Congressmen and plead for their help? This breaks my heart. Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420326421287420092noreply@blogger.com
