Sovereign Lord, we rejoice in Your victory over the grave in raising the Lord Jesus from the dead.
Please inhabit the praises of Your Church worldwide as we exalt Your Name today. Amen.
Today at Barnabas, we remember and celebrate Good Friday.
On the day of sacrifice and true love, Jesus, in His perfection, willingly gave His life for the sins of us, His children.
John 19:30 "Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
✝️ Today marks Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent - a season of reflection, prayer, and service.
May this Lent be a time of renewal for all who observe it.
There are about 1 million Christians held as ‘slaves’ working in Pakistan’s brick factories. I’ve been there, it’s utterly horrific.
Join @BarnabasAid@AjudaBarnabas to see what you can do to help suffering and persecuted Christians in places like this.
I’ve been to brick kilns in Pakistan, just like the one in this video. The unbearable heat, smell and misery is hard to explain.
I thank God that @BarnabasAid is freeing so many Christians from this inhuman situation. Join us, and be part of something that sets slaves free.
Pakistan’s 20,000 brick kilns operate disproportionately through Christians trapped in a life of gruelling labour.
You can help. Prayerfully consider giving to our project. Every amount, however small, will help these families escape the kilns: brnw.ch/21wZVGi
The amazing @BarnabasAid are there trying to help - but this is what we are up against!

Huge congratulations to @PaulMerse celebrating seven years of sobriety. What a great encouragement to others struggling with alcoholism or any other kind of addiction. One day at a time!
Barnabas Aid CEO Colin Bloom reflects on his recent visit to Jamaica in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, which struck the Caribbean at the end of October.
Here are some powerful photographs I took in #Jamaica that show the overwhelming destruction wreaked by #HurricaneMelissa. Thank you @AndrewHolnessJM for your leadership, be assured my colleagues and I at @BarnabasAid will do what we can to help.

In the US it is a criminal offence to pretend you were a military hero. It's called the Stolen Valor Act 2013.
There are so many Walter Mitty characters, fakers, chancers and wannabes.

Hurricane Melissa – Please help rebuild churches in Jamaica and the Caribbean
Hurricane Melissa ripped through the Caribbean earlier this week leaving a trail of destruction across Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas and Bermuda.
Jamaica took the brunt, with torrential rain and terrifying winds of up to 185mph causing catastrophic damage to homes and hospitals, schools and churches.
Can you help our brothers and sisters in Jamaica to build back better from Melissa?

Christians are severely persecuted in Pakistan. With over 1 million Christians held as bonded labourers - effectively modern day slaves, and others facing the daily threat of false blasphemy allegations, it is hard place to be a follower of Jesus.
If it wasn’t for organisations like @BarnabasAid you’d never hear about these tragic stories. Use your voice to call for greater awareness of the suffering our brothers and sisters are going through.
@montie Sadly you are right @montie - Christians remain the number 1 persecuted group in the world. It gets very little attention. Fortunately organisations like @BarnabasAid exist to support suffering, persecuted and displaced followers of Christ all around the world.
As #RoshHashanah begins, let us look forward with hopefulness and prayers for a year ahead of peace in #Israel and for Jewish people everywhere. Whether you’re celebrating the Jewish New Year holiday or not. *L'Shana Tovah tikatevu!*
Yes politics is a contact sport, but there’s a golden rule for opponents, commentators and journalists. NEVER BRING INNOCENT FAMILY OR CHILDREN INTO IT. They are off limits. Only a soulless ghoul would try and get to their opponent by doing that.
In a world obsessed with celebrity engagements - this is proper news! @afneil is amongst the UK’s most respected journalists and commentators. Unless his X account has been hacked, then this is not fake news but a genuine, copper bottomed, gilt edged, gold plated scandal.
It is one of the great scandals of our time.
Drax, which generates electricity by burning trees imported as pellets from North America, is more expensive than gas, more polluting than coal and more dependent on imports than oil.
Yet it is, incredibly, designated as ‘sustainable
