Sharon and I weep at the deaths, starvation, illnesses and hostages. War is hell. The world is at war. World Wat III. God’s children are dying ore and more everyday because of world war. Do not forget what is happening in Ukraine and Russia, thousands killed. Ukraine’s Zelenskyy warns Putin will push Russia’s war “very quickly” onto NATO soil if he’s not stopped. Look at Haiti, complete destruction of the country, many killed. Haiti now needs up to 5,000 police to help tackle `catastrophic’ gang violence , UN expert says, The southern border of America is like a war. Chinese migrants make multi-country trek to US southern border: ‘I just want to make money’. The people of Cuba are under very evil dictatorship! Amid blackouts and scarce food, Cuba protests rattle ‘cradle’ of the Revolution. In American only 4% of us have a Biblical Worldview. The Church is hurting. Church Attendance in U.S. Continues to Decline. Great Commission Failure. Many hurting. My list is long. The world is unraveling. “We are surprised by the silence of the world, but we are optimistic about God’s mercy and love.” This quote really sent me to the LORD this morning. Al-Najjar, Gaza church leader said. “We are surprised by the silence of the world, but we are optimistic about God’s mercy and love.”
Once again, I am so very thankful for the reporting of the Baptist Press!

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (BP) — As Christians approach Easter, Baptists sheltered in the remnants of Gaza Baptist Church are so worn out they “no longer have the energy to suffer,” a leader there told the Christian Mission to Gaza (CM2G).
“We are very tired,” the mission quoted Shady Al-Najjar, a Gaza church leader, in its March 27 newsletter. “Our days are useless, our children are collapsing in fear, without education, and life has become very difficult.
“We no longer have the energy to express or explain what is happening in our country,” Al-Najjar said. “We are surprised by the silence of the world, but we are optimistic about God’s mercy and love.”
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have decreased their attacks on Gaza, where IDF leaders have “dismantled” but not destroyed 20 of Hamas’ original 24 battalions, IDF officials told The Washington Post with anonymity. Rather, despite the United Nations Security Council’s call for an immediate cease-fire, Israel is eyeing Rafah, where Hamas’ four remaining battalions are housed. Israel’s military believes, according to the Washington Post, that thousands of Hamas fighters and sought-after commanders are stationed in tunnels alongside perhaps 100 remaining hostages.
