After decades of lifting others out of devastating circumstances, these good Samaritans have found themselves in a crisis of their own.

Over a week after Hurricane Helene devastated the southeast United States, bodies are still being recovered. At least 227 people are confirmed dead, but many more are still missing.

MNN ministry partner Slavic Gospel Association is a member of IFCA International. Many IFCA-partnered churches were severely impacted.

Many people have prayed for years for Susanna Koh and her family — the wife and children of Pastor Raymond Koh.

Raymond was kidnapped in Malaysia, in broad daylight on 13 February 2017. In the seven years since then, Susanna has tirelessly sought to find out what happened to him. She filed a lawsuit against the Malaysian government for negligence in the case. 

Singer and songwriter Tasha Layton is celebrating after receiving her third No. 1 radio single. 

Her latest song, 'Worship Through It,' which features Chris Brown of Elevation Worship, hit No. 1 for the second week on the Mediabase Christian Impression chart as well as in the Top 5 on the Mediabase Christian AC Monitor and Top 3 at Mediabase AC Activator charts. 

Written by Layton, Matthew West, AJ Prius and Keith Everette Smith, this song encourages listeners to lift up God and give him adoration for who he is and what he's done. 

A chapel in YMCA Camp Greenville in Cleveland, South Carolina is in awe after their building sustained significant damage in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. However, a wooden cross at the front of the church remained standing. 

"Unfortunately, it's pretty devastating on top of the mountain," said the director of operations for YMCA Camp Greenville in a post on Facebook. "We have thousands of trees down and lots of damage to power lines and buildings. Our staff are all safe and well, but there is a lot of work ahead of us."

With a loud culture that promotes individualism and materialism, one Christian author is sharing wisdom on parenting a grateful generation. 

Benjamin William Hastings has officially released his sophomore album, giving listeners an insightful look into his faith journey.

The 12-track album, Sold out, sincerely, features several guest artists including Brandon Lake, Aodhán King, and Matt Crocker.

The founder and former lead pastor of Saddleback Church put a call out for prayer over the weekend after a brushfire wiped out a portion of their campus. 

" Please pray: 2 acres of Saddleback Church have already been consumed by wildfire," said Warren in a post on X. "It's our main campus (out of 20) in Lake Forest."

No buildings were damaged. However, this is the second time in weeks that the busy church has had to deal with fire. 

The Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Allégresses Church in Trois-Rivières, QC, is picking up the pieces after a fire ravaged the building last week. 

On October 3, local emergency crews were dispatched to help control and put out the fire that had the whole building up in flames. One of the bell towers ended up collapsing because of the fire. 

According to reports, the building was empty of people at the time of the fire, meaning no injuries were reported. 

The Archbishop of Toronto is among 21 new cardinals Pope Francis named Sunday and the lone new cardinal from North America.

Archbishop Francis Leo, 53, was born in Montreal and previously served as vicar general and moderator of the Curia of the Archdiocese of Montreal and auxiliary bishop of Montreal. He has served as archbishop of Toronto since March 2023.

Leo was not available for interviews Sunday as the archdiocese said the news was quite sudden, but he issued a statement saying he is humbled and honoured to receive the appointment.
