The brief abduction of two American women and their Egyptian guide at gunpoint along a major highway in Egypt's Sinai peninsula Friday is a reminder that there’s real danger traveling to countries in political turmoil, say security experts.  The tourists, aged 60 and 65, were returning from the popular St. Catherine’s Monastery to the  Red Sea  resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh. A group of masked gunmen held up their tourist bus, snatching watches, cell phones and cash, security sources told AFP. South Sinai Police Chief Maj. Gen. Mohammed Naguib, in charge or regional security, said the Americans have now been freed after a deal was made following negotiations with Bedouin tribesmen, believed to be behind the abductions.  RELAT...

Outreach to 500 families of Burmese, Nepalese, and Vietnamese Refugees in Charlotte

Outreach to 500 families of Burmese, Nepalese, and Vietnamese Refugees in Charlotte: CMM and Freedom Ministries Update God is so good!  Recently, we gave away about 500 Thanksgiving dinners to people in need in Charlotte. About twenty volunteers helped us distribute Thanksgiving dinner in an apartment complex off Central Avenue.  People were very excited and grateful to receive the food.  Most of the recipients are refugees from Burma, Nepal, and Vietnam.  They have very little resources and many struggle to make ends meet.  One volunteer commented that the area seemed like a Third World Country, because children were without shoes or coats. God is really moving in that area!  We were blessed with a Burmese translator with a heart to minister the love of Jesus.   There were many salvations on our visits to the neighborhood.   In addition to the Thanksgiving dinners, we spent two weeks delivering truckloads of rice, bread, flour and other ne...

Equipping nations with the heart of the Father by connecting, strengthening, & expanding strategic relationships & stewarding donor relations with God’s army. Flash Point: Guatemala Major Roadblocks Overcome Angie and Jason Christman, CMM/MS missionaries to Guatemala know what it is like to deal with obstacles. The recent teachers’ strike has made transportation almost impossible in some areas as they block roads with huge boulders and hordes of people. The Christmans deliver 200 meals of fresh produce and meat over a two week period, along with the love of Christ, to several feeding centers for the poor. On their recent delivery, they encountered a blockade which had all traffic stopped. Angie prayed as Jason approached the obstacle. Before long a reporter was interviewing him and he was allowed to speak with the head teacher. As if in a movie, theirs was the only vehicle allowed through that d...
