Today’s Verse
‘To Whom Are We Listening?’
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not
from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth.
I John 4:6
The Week of Prayer for International Missions ended yesterday, but I thought this story was worthy of sharing, even if late. The offering can be given at any time, even though the focus week has ended.
WEEK OF PRAYER: Brazilian families find Christ-centered care
Their choice is unimaginable. Infanticide or rejection by their tribe.
Many Indigenous families in Brazil experience rejection by their tribes because the families refuse to practice infanticide. This cruel tradition, which involves the killing of babies born with birth defects, incurable diseases, or in cases of twins and unwanted pregnancies, is still observed by some tribes in Brazil.

‘Paul’s Boldness, Agrippa’s Refusal’
But Paul replied [to Festus’ charge that he had lost his mind because he believed in the resurrection of Jesus], “I am not insane, Most Excellent Festus. What I am saying is the sober truth. And King Agrippa knows about these things. I speak boldly, for I am sure these events are all familiar to him, for they were not done in a corner! King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do — “
Agrippa interrupted him. “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”
Acts 26:25-28 NLT
