By Exjani Rojas — After snuffing crosstown rivals Manchester United 3-0, Manchester City star Jeremy Doku celebrated setting up two goals by getting baptized. “Today was for me already a victory. Why? Because I knew that after the game today I’m going to baptize myself, I’m going to be baptized,” the strong and speedy left winger said. “Maybe that’s why I felt like I was pushed today. That’s why I’m very happy with the performance as well. There’s nothing more important to me than faith,” he added. “As a Christian, when you get baptized, your old nature, your old sinful…

By Exjani Rojas — The winners of the English Premier League are the Bible Brothers. That’s what fans are calling Arsenal’s group of players who pray together and encourage each other in their Christian faith. “What we’ve seen at Arsenal this season is a group of players whose Christian faith has become an important source of unity, support and personal conviction,” says Steven Briggs, a fan and a media producer. Kind of the leader of the ~10 Christians who gather before games, Jurrien Timber, is called by some “pastor.” Raised in a strong Christian home, the right back initiates spiritual…

By Exjani Rojas — An Egyptian Coptic Christian has been sentenced to five years hard labor for posting apologetics YouTube videos under the nation’s blasphemy laws. Augustinos Samaan, 37, was ramrodded through the judicial system without even notifying his defense team, which is now appealing to international pressure to free him. Under military sharing agreements with the United States, Egypt has the duty to improve its human rights abuses. “When you think of blasphemy laws, you’re probably thinking this is an ancient thing that no longer exists, but in fact it does,” says Mariam Wahba, a research analyst at Foundation…

By Exjani Rojas — Just when Iran is threatening to launch its remaining stockpile of 500 ballistic missiles at Israel, the Israeli Defense Forces unveiled a new laser weapon to shoot rockets, drones and even mortars out of the sky. It appears to be months from being developed successfully to take out missiles. This is how wars are fought: the country with the greatest new technology wins. The invention of the crossbow canceled the effectiveness of knights. The machine gun canceled the charge. Navies came on to the scene and made nations powerful, but their power was checked by airplanes.…

By Exjani Rojas — Germany exports BMWs. Italy exports suits. China exports electronics. France exports wine and cosmetics. Iran? Iran exports terrorism. The Islamic Regime of Iran — the avowed destroyer of Israel supporting the Three-H team of terror (Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis) — stands at a historic crossroads. After 47 years of Machiavellian cruelty, the Ayatollah and his cronies are on the brink of losing power. Millions of Iranians have poured into the streets for three weeks calling for their overthrow. The economy has soured ($1 =1.5M rial). There’s no water. They’re fed up that leaders live in…

By Exjani Rojas – From 1950 to ‘53, North Korea’s enemies lay to the South. Now North Korea is being invaded from the North. It is being invaded by Christian missionaries from China. “The vision of the underground church in China is responsible for more missionaries being deployed to unreached areas than from all other nations of the world combined,” says Eugene Bach, who works with the Back to Jerusalem movement. They don’t host huge missionary conferences. They don’t carry cell phones or use email. Their success depends in part on their low-tech, labor-intensive approach: just preach the Gospel and…

By Exjani Rojas — ISIS operatives killed two Chinese missionaries in Balochistan’s capital in Pakistan in broad daylight. The mother of one of the missionaries publicly forgave the killers and speculated their deaths would spark revival. “I believe these two will be like seeds to bring greater revival,” she said, per translation. “I pray that God would forgive the sin and evil of ISIS because they know not what they do. These two children are now gone; I trust they will inspire the church in China to be united for the sake of the Gospel and that the fires or…

By Exjani Rojas — Inside the New Landscape of Emerging Anti Christ Figures Across multiple continents and digital platforms, a growing collection of spiritual leaders are attracting followers with messages that challenge historic Christianity and reinterpret end time expectations. These figures are not part of a single coordinated movement. Yet when examined together, their claims form a pattern that closely reflects the biblical description of many anti Christs rising in the world. This report examines three of the most visible leaders in this phenomenon and the cultural conditions that have helped their messages spread. 1. Pavel Dimitriyev and the Shadow…

By Exjani Rojas — A prominent Jew and a moderate Muslim influencer both called on people in their countries to go to church. “Go to church,” said Ben Shapiro, a heavyweight political influencer, founder of the Daily Wire. Asked why he, a Jew, was telling Americans to go to church, he responded in his typical speedy laconic style: “This is a Christian country. I want Jews to go to synagogue, but there ain’t that many of us. If you’re a Christian or you grew up in a Christian household, even if you didn’t, go to church. Church is good for…

By Exjani Rojas – An innovative approach to winning the Japanese to Christ is now through online games, says a Japanese missionary. “By using games with developers and Christian gamers to reach these people who have no way of hearing the gospel is such a brilliant idea,” says Monci Arciaga. “God is moving in Japan in ways that I never expected.” Arciaga, who lives in Japan, says he attended a conference with Japanese game developers who are Christian. They are strategizing to introduce Christian beliefs into the backstory of the games. They’re working with people internationally, such as a developer…
