Uganda has never had a democratic transition of power.

Complexities in Syria have reached a new pitch after the events of last week.
Thursday, March 6, a band of Alawite fighters from the old regime killed more than a dozen soldiers in the coastal town of Jableh affiliated with the new government.

There [are] suspicions that there was some act done even before that, which then this [attack on soldiers] was recompense for that previous act.”

Radio broadcasts get Scripture into the hearts of North Korean Christians
Imagine tuning into a new channel on the radio and suddenly hearing these slow words:
“For …
“… God …
“… so …
“… loved … the … world.”
What are you listening to? It’s the Bible, spoken so that you can write it down. This type of scripture broadcast is one way Christians outside of North Korea send God’s Word over the border, where other Christians can scribble out their own copies of Scripture.
