"We're here, we're safe but the highway is all out around us so we're not able to leave," says Steberl. "Thankfully we were all stocked up on supplies before all this happened. We're blessed that way."

For 20 years, Amy Hayward spent her time in ministry serving artists, musicians and pastors behind the scenes. 

As an event manager, Amy planned tours and conferences while walking through a process of healing behind the scenes with the Lord.

"I'm  39 now, and about 10 years ago, the Lord took me through a process of healing. I might call it the valley of the shadow of death. I thought it was the end, but it was just the beginning of freedom and breakthrough that he had planned for me for a long time," Hayward explains.

God and the church were not a part of Danny Ray's life growing up. It wasn't until he was 17 years old that he became a believer, and even then he wrestled with it.

Ray was a magician at the time, and when he started to read the Bible, it said that magicians were going to hell. This frightened Danny to the point that he was willing to give up his passion and career.

Since the Early Rain Covenant Church (ERCC) was raided in December 2018, leading to dozens of arrests, the opposition of government agents has been relentless. While the church as a whole is no longer able to meet together, ERCC members continue to gather in small groups.

The Taliban government in Afghanistan faces a growing threat from ISIS, as well as severe economic concerns.

In fact, on October 25 the United Nations said Afghanistan is on the brink of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, worse even than Yemen or Syria. Out of 38 million people in the country, 23 million won’t have enough food to last the winter without more aid.

"We can’t put God in a box, even as we look at the horrors and tragedies of Afghanistan.”

Churches in the Southern Health region are figuring out how to hold services this weekend in compliance with tougher restrictions that were announced only yesterday, leaving little time to adjust plans.

Life had been good to Karen and Bob Krech. They had travelled the world as overseas teachers. They were blessed with a strong marriage, a nice house, great jobs, and a happy, healthy two-year-old son. 

Things took a downward spiral when Karen became pregnant with their daughter. At just 23 weeks, Karen began experiencing some difficulties with the pregnancy and needed to deliver the baby.

Their daughter Faith was born weighing just 450 grams and was so small she could fit in her father's hand.
