Another update from Dr. Samuel’s family
Dear Pastor,
Papa had left to Kerala on Sunday. The anti-Christian violence have now spilt to many other states as well as in Karnataka. Reports on churches being attacked in many places are now only being broadcasted on the T.V. Today dad called me up from Kerala and told me that there was going to be a rally in Kerala to protest the violence against Christians and he would be speaking in that rally. There are no signs of the situation subsiding it just keeps spreading to other places and getting worse at the same time.
Please pray for him as he attends and speaks in that rally.
Help Spread This Story
Why are these attacks not being covered by the media? If this were attacks against muslims, hindus, or any religion other than Christian there would be non-stop coverage. The world is so blatant in it’s hatred of Christians that stories like these are suppressed. Please help spread this story in any way you can. No one of any religion, race, or nationality should ever have to witness thier children, and no child should have to endure, being literally ripped apart alive, burned, beaten, or hacked to death for their beliefs or any other reason. This is absolute insanity.
God’s Appointment
In 1999 our pastor, Bill Bryan, had a divinely appointed meeting with a complete stranger from India. One man from Beulah, Alabama and another from Goa, India “just happened” to make acquaintance while in the Los Angeles airport. This meeting led to the founding of AHEAD, a ministry of The Bridge Church that reaches out to the poor and needy across India.
Since this meeting, Dr. Samuel has visited our church several times with information and updates about improvements in India. Recently, however, these updates have taken a horrific turn. The following is a copy of the actual email sent to our church from Dr. Samuel. As an American, it is hard to comprehend that these barbaric crimes still occur throughout parts of the world. The worst thing I have to worry about is having to verbally defend myself at times because of my beliefs. These people are watching their houses destroyed, their children tortured and murdered, and their communities destroyed by Hindu gangs; all because of their belief in God.

Subject: Orissa report
PRAISE THE LORD
On the 25th of August the main Leader of the Orissa Missions had called to ask me to go there as some of our Missionaries were being intimidated by local religious and communal groups. The missionaries were themselves so isolated that they never knew that similar events were unfolding in several parts of that state. I prayed about the matter and travelled to Orissa on the 29th, by faith not knowing that the entire state was gripped with anti-Christian violence. It was later that I learnt that the violence was sparked by the brutal killing of a senior leader of a radical Hindu Movement by local Maoist rebels. Since the Maoists are few and far between, the Hindu radicals diverted their vengeance to the minority Christian community. Many Christian schools, orphanages, churches were burnt down and believers were burnt alive and some brutally hacked to death.
On the 31st morning I reached there in the midst of this fiery violence little knowing of the danger I was exposing myself to. As I disembarked the train, people began staring at me like they knew me and I reckoned that they knew me as I frequented that place often. A local missionary was waiting for me at the station who was surprised that I had heeded that call and actually came. He told me that it was unsafe to leave the station as many people in the locality would recognise me, his family himself had escaped to the jungles for safety. I was asked to take a train back immediately, but there are no trains until 2 days later. I prayed at the station and took to the street and got myself a room at a nearby lodge. I decided to visit nearby villages and not venture too far as I not only posed a grave threat to my life, but to my fellow missionaries as well. I arranged for the Leader to pass the message of my arrival to the other missionaries secretly. The following day a few of the missionaries turned up as the rest of them flew to the jungles for refuge.
The few missionaries who were in attendance narrated the violence and bloodshed they witnessed. One of the incidents which broke my heart most was of a baby who was tied and ripped apart in front of the mother for the simple reason of refusing to deny her Faith. And another of a Pastor who was paraded on the street and whipped and eventually killed by crushing his head with a boulder. I prayed and encouraged them to continue the work and exercising wisdom at the same time.
The official puts the death tool at close to 20, but unofficial reports suggest a death toll exceeding 60. Scores of churches and prayer halls and Christian institutions have been burnt and vandalized. Currently there are 7 refugee camps where 10,000 people are taking refuge under sub-basic conditions. (Today’s News: The refuge camp was attacked by the radical mob). Though curfew and shoot-at-sight is being imposed the violence does not seem to subside. And the Christians continue to live with this grim reality not knowing when they will be attacked. I wished deep down in my heart of providing relief to the affected, but the prevailing situation makes it close to impossible. And we still lack resources to to provide that relief.
The next early morning 2am the lodge owner woke and asked to leave immediately as 2 persons in the same lodge were hacked to death and thrown in a river 30mins ago. So I immediately left the place and rushed to the railway station and left on a 5am train.
The immediate prayer requests from me and the fellow workers in Orissa:
Continually pray for the acquirement of the hospital. Please pray that all needs would be met by the 15th of September. With the hospital we will be able to carry out relief work and support in times of need like this as well.
Yours in Christ,
Samuel.
Pictures and Video
You can see it for yourself , but be warned that some of these pics are extremely graphic.
Charlie Gibson tried, unsuccessfully, to trick, trip, demean, and verbally assault Governor Palin in his interview this week. The TV version of the interview was edited to change the meaning of some of her answers. His liberal attack on Palin would have crushed a lesser opponent; however, Palin’s strength made Gibson look like a complete fool. Just read the actual transcript and compare it to the TV version. Gibson’s only agenda was to exalt himself into the elitist ranks enjoyed by none other that Barack Obama.
While we are on the subject of a reporter changing what their guest says, check out George Stephanopoulos’ correction when Obama refers to “my Muslim faith.” George was quick to protect Obama and nurse him back from destruction. Here’s a few lines of the interview.
OBAMA: No, uh, well, uh, well, look, the — the, uhhhh. Listen, uhhh, you and I both know that the minute that Governor Palin was, uh — was, uh, forced to talk about her daughter, I immediately said, “That’s off-limits. And — and — and — and –
STEPHANOPOULOS: John McCain did the same thing about questioning your faith.
OBAMA: And what — what was the first thing the McCain campaign went out and did? They — they said, uhhh, look, uhhh, his liberal blogs that support Obama (nervous laugh) are out there attacking Governor Palin. I mea- ih, uh, uh, eh, L-l-let’s not play games. W-w-what I was suggesting, you are absolutely right that John McCain has not, uh, talked about my Muslim faith, and you’re absolutely right that that has not come –
STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.
OBAMA: Uh, M-my Christian faith.
Did the truth slip out? I can’t say, but it was an interesting comment.

Approximately 3,000 people died in these attacks; only 19 of them deserved it.
I have been a part of Royal Rangers for the past two years. Royal Rangers is a great program where boys develop outdoor skills while learning Christian principles. This is a worldwide organization that has been around for more than 40 years. We are Outpost 86 at The Bridge Church in Cusseta, Alabama. I have started an Outpost 86 blog to help promote this ministry. I will be updating the site with events, class info, fund raisers, etc., so please visit often to keep up with the future husbands, fathers, and leaders or our country. Thanks.
Do you remember the feeling you had just weeks before your high school graduation?
What about getting ready to head out on you own? Away from your parents. Do you remember?
Maybe you have recently changed jobs and there was that strange “I won’t be walking down this hall”, or “I won’t use this coffee pot again” kind of feeling.
Buying your first home, or moving out of your first home into your second.
I’m not talking about any bad feelings. The feelings I’m talking about are ones of excitement; feelings that something that you have known is about to be replaced with something better. A new world is about to open up. A sense that there is something waiting that has barely been tapped.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about by now I don’t know any other way to describe it.
I had those feelings twice today. They weren’t accompanied by any visions or thoughts; just feelings. I know that all of you who have experienced this are sitting there nodding in agreement. All of you who think I’m losing it; I just ask that if you are ever fortunate enough to experience it you will recall reading an article by that crazy guy at Brainwavers and admit that he wasn’t so crazy after all.
We just celebrated my daughter’s eighth birthday, and I never had any idea that eight years could pass so rapidly. I was just driving home thinking about some of the events of 2000 and how they seem to have just happened. Here’s a few of the happenings of the year 2000.
We somehow miraculously avoid a global meltdown brought on by Y2K.
The St. Louis Rams defeat the Tennessee Titans 23-16 in Superbowl XXXIV in Atlanta. I actually had to watch this one in the hospital because of my daughter’s birth.
Alaskan Airline flight 261 crashes off of the coast of California killing 88 people.
An IED explodes on Wall Street injuring several but killing none.
Vladimir Putin is elected as Russia’s president.
George W. Bush and Al Gore emerge as their parties’ nominees for president.
Microsoft is found guilty of violating antitrust laws.
Federal agents seize Elian Gonzalez from his family’s home in Miami, Fl.
Windows ME is released.
2000 Summer Olympics are held in Sydney, Australia.
The first of the Subway Series, NY Yankees vs. NY Mets world series, is held. The Yankees won the series.
Iraq rejects UN weapons inspections.
George W. Bush is elected President of the United States despite a serious outbreak of hanging chads in Florida. (I hope they have developed a cream for that by now.)
Charles M. Shulz dies.
Recounts or no recounts? That was the question.
I know it’s only going to go faster from here. All I can do is enjoy it.
Mike Huckabee recently ran a television spot wishing Americans a Merry Christmas and out comes the very small but very loud group of anti-American, anti-Christmas, anti-everything whiners. “He shouldn’t use his political position to push his religion on us”, “It’s a political trick”, so on and so on. I’ll bet that if it were Hillary Clintonstein wishing a happy hanukkah, or Obama bin Laden wishing all of his fellow American-haters a Jolly Jihad, we wouldn’t hear a sound, not even a mouse. It’s Christmas, you know like when Christ was born, and I personally think it’s ok to run a Christmas ad wishing a Merry Christmas during Christmas. But that’s just me. Anyway, Merry Christmas Mike Huckabee and all else who celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world.
