Sunday greetings everyone!
One of the pastors that Cybersalt works with overseas emailed the other day, letting me know his wife and their youngest of 3 children have the flu. While he did not say it was COVID-19, she does work as a nurse in a hospital and it is most likely the pandemic has reached their home. Their country is currently #12 in the world for total cases and in 2019 was #5 in persecuting Christians. In fact, in many parts of their country Christian nurses and doctors are being used on the front lines because other staff who belong to the oppressive national religion do not want to catch COVID-19.
As the West continues to struggle with the pandemic, let's also remember to pray for the vulnerable and persecuted people of the world for whom much misery has been added to their already hard lives..
This Sunday's video is a performance of "Baba Yetu" (Our Father). This song has a very interesting history you can read a: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yetu
Rev. James Snyder recently experienced a week where it seemed like everything was "shot to pieces." You can read "It Was A Week That Was Shot To Pieces" at:
