By Nile Hosni — Called the first large-scale crusade in Portland in 25 years, an event sponsored by Athey Creek Church in the Moda Center reports more than 3,200 salvations. “We live in a town where darkness is all around us. If you live here, you feel it, how desperately people need to believe in Jesus that they may find hope,” said Pastor Brett Meador. “We need to see our town, our city and our whole country come out of the darkness and into the light.” This crusade is significant because the Pacific Northwest has been called the least-churched region…

By Nile Hosni – On pilgrimage in Mecca, Muhammad saw a vision of a man in white who beckoned from atop the kabbalah stone during the holy month of Ramadan. “Muhammad, you’re following the wrong way,” the man in white told him. “Leave and come follow me.” Back in his native Jericho, Muhammad heard the Gospel from a Christian neighbor and came to Christ. At a time when demographers are predicting Islam’s takeover by birthrates, visions and dreams are undercutting projections by leading tens and thousands of Muslims to Jesus. “This is the Great Awakening for Muslims right now,” says…

By Nile Hosni – Twelve Christians are killed for their faith every day around the world, according to the World Watch List’s recently reported findings for 2025. That makes Christianity the most persecuted faith in the world. But if you were to pay attention to the U.S. media, you’d think that LGBTQ suffers the most persecution. In raw numbers, 380 million Christians suffer persecution on the scale of mild to severe, published by Open Doors, an international human rights group. Out of every seven Christians, one is persecuted. It’s worse in Africa, where one of every five Christians is persecuted.…

By Nile Hosni – After three years and two weeks in windowless isolation, Kyle Quilausing was moved in with the other 179 high-risk inmates of Hawaii’s most infamous prison, nicknamed Tanda Dome because of the constant fights. “When these men look at you, they pierce right through your soul,” Kyle recalls. “They wanted to find out if I was prey or predator. That’s what they do to every single person that comes in.” As soon as he went to his cell, two big brutal guys smashed him, a punch to the face that knocked him down, then a heel drop…

By Nile Hosni — The Free Burma Ranger medical missionary group recently helped Syrians fleeing the carnage to the city of Hasakah in the northeast of Syria. For many of the Internally Displaced People (a “refugee” who hasn’t left his country to escape the war), it was NOT the only time they fled conflict. The first time they fled was in 2018 when they ran away from Turkish attacks on their native Afrin, a city in the northwest of Syria. Just in December, they fled again from Shahba’a from the Free Syria Army, a force armed and trained by Turkey…

By Nile Hosni – After breaking up with his girlfriend, Patrick Bet-David wanted to talk with his mom – for the first time in five years. It was 1 a.m. “God, if you exist, I would love to talk to my mom,” he prayed. His phone rang. “How did you get this number,” he asked his mom. That’s how the atheist from Iran came to faith in Jesus. Today, Patrick is an insurance sales mogul and a podcaster of Valuetainment. Growing up in Iran, Patrick Bet-David found it hard to believe in God because of the bombs falling all the…

By Nile Hosni – An Orthodox priest who bench presses 435 lbs and runs a church in Austin, TX, has purchased a $2 million mansion to convert into a sanctuary. “Anytime that we are building a church, we’re setting up an enemy base in hostile territory,” Father Moses McPherson said on his YouTube. “We are seeking to take back and conquer the land for Christ. We’re going to be met with a lot of resistance in the spiritual realm, because as St. Paul says we wrestle not against flesh.” Is this the coolest pastor? His well-edited videos are the ultimate…

By Nile Hosni – When CBS asked Astronaut Butch Wilmore about being stranded in the Space Station for nine months, he started talking about God. “My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It’s bound in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Butch said. “He is working out his plans and his purposes for his glory throughout all of humanity. And how that plays into our lives is significant and important. And however that plays out and I am content. “I understand that he’s at work, in all things,” he added. “Some things are for the good,…

I was not a Christian,” Chad tells on a Resilient podcast. “Something hit my door and jolted me awake from sleep. In the middle of the night, I could hear voices echoing up and down the hallway. I was freaked out. We got to the point where we were not sleeping at night.” How to deal…

By Nile Hosni – When he felt called to reach Amazonians, Esequiel Santo took a six-day bus trip from Rio de Janeiro, a six-day boat trip, a 15-day canoe trip to reach the remote communities where he would evangelize. “Sometimes it would take 35 days just to get to the remote areas,” he says. He was 15 when he started. Thanks to Esequiel and other missionaries, the 30M Amazonians are experiencing an unprecedented revival that is turning a predominantly Catholic nation into an Evangelical Christian nation. In the first six months of 2024, the Foursquare Church baptized 14,500 new converts…
