Please continue to pray for this young lady!

Two days ago, Tyleigh Skye Hill came out of surgery.

Doctors removed a tumor from her left leg. She's 9 years old, from Geneva, Alabama, and she's fighting bone cancer.

Surgeons found enough healthy bone in her leg to help rebuild it. Tyleigh Skye was grateful for that.

Yesterday, more good news.

Her mom, Brittney Wiggins, shared an update.

"Tyleigh Skye is sitting up in bed and enjoying her favorite meal of steak, potatoes and broccoli," Brittney said.

She's being moved out of the ICU. Into a regular room, which she's thrilled about.

Soon, she'll start learning to move from her bed to a chair.

And there's something else to celebrate.

Tyleigh Skye turns 10 tomorrow, October 13th.

Her mom is planning a dinosaur party, right there in her hospital room.

A 9-year-old fighting bone cancer. A 10th birthday in a hospital bed. It's hard to even picture.

If you'd like to send Tyleigh Skye a birthday card, a letter, or a small gift, here's where to send it:

Tyleigh Skye
1600 7th Ave S
Birmingham, AL 35233

Let's flood her with birthday love. Happy early birthday, Tyleigh Skye. Keep fighting.

Here’s what happens when socialism is in power. Pray for these dear souls!

At least 24 Christians were murdered in an overnight attack on the village of Bin Mper in Plateau State, Nigeria, by Islamic militants.

Innocent lives were taken in their own community simply because of their faith.

And this was not an isolated incident.

Local leader Jonathan Kyesmang said the massacre followed months of escalating aggression against the community: a young man killed, farms destroyed, and now, a massacre.

This is part of a much larger crisis facing Christians across Nigeria.

The scale of this persecution is staggering.

According to Open Doors’ 2026 World Watch List, 3,490 Christians were killed in Nigeria for their faith between October 2024 and September 2025, accounting for 72% of Christian martyrdoms worldwide.

These are husbands and wives. Sons and daughters. Pastors, families, and entire congregations.

Every burial leaves another family grieving. Every attack leaves another congregation worshiping with empty seats.

And while much of the world remains silent, our brothers and sisters in Christ continue to pay an unimaginable price for their faith.

The Church cannot look away.

For far too long, the persecution of Christians around the world has received a fraction of the attention it deserves.

We must have the courage to condemn the violent Islamic extremism fueling these attacks and to stand with our persecuted brothers and sisters.

I am praying for the families who are grieving, for the Church in Nigeria, and for believers around the world who face violence because they bear the name of Jesus.

Add Haiti to the list of countries that are killing Christians and no other country seems to care! Pray for these poor souls.

PRAY FOR HAITI 🙏 Violent gang members in Port-au-Prince have massacred nearly 50 people in a major attack — many of whom were Christians — and burned down a sanctuary of an evangelical church.

The U.N. Secretary-General condemned the attack, noting that 22 of the victims were reportedly executed in a church compound...

Please continue to pray for our Nigerian brothers and sisters who are suffering at the hands of these murderers!

A new tragedy is being reported in the ongoing war against Christians in Nigeria. At least 27 Christ-followers have been killed in attacks over the past day.

"The motivations of these terrorists, it is to wipe out the entirety of Christianity in Nigeria. This is not about climate change, and this is not about farmer-herder clashes... This is clear religious and ethnic targeting," Nigerian reporter Masara Kim explains.

Arrangements for Pauline. We will miss her so much at Mt Carmel Baptist Church.

A widely shared report says Iran may be experiencing a remarkable spiritual shift as growing numbers of people turn away from state-enforced Islam and seek Jesus through underground churches, satellite ministries and private gatherings. The original story described it as a possible “Jesus Revolution,” unfolding despite the danger believers face for leaving Islam.

A 2020 GAMAAN survey of roughly 50,000 Iranians found that 1.5% identified as Christian, producing an estimated Christian population of 750,000 to 950,000. Researchers suggested that hundreds of thousands could be converts from Muslim backgrounds, but the viral claim that exactly one million Muslims converted should still be treated as an estimate—not a confirmed count.

An Iranian cleric also reported that approximately 50,000 of the country’s 75,000 mosques were inactive or closed, although declining attendance was not the only explanation given; financial, staffing and administrative problems were also cited. What remains undeniable is that Iranian Christian converts continue worshiping under intense pressure, with house-church members facing surveillance, arrests and imprisonment for practicing their faith.

The media can spend weeks outraged over politics, celebrities, and social drama… yet seven Christians in Nigeria were reportedly beheaded by Boko Haram and most of the world barely notices. Imagine if this happened to almost any other group. The silence would be deafening. These believers weren’t killed for violence or power — they were murdered because they refused to deny Jesus Christ.

Meanwhile, many American Christians are afraid to even pray publicly or post a Bible verse online. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison.” The global Church is suffering, but faith is still standing strong. Will we stay silent while fellow believers are persecuted for the name of Jesus?
