Training Camp of Love
Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Spain is an Arab training camp. Not the kind of camp you have recently heard of coming out of the Arab world, but a training camp that empowers Arab Christian nationals, equipping them with the mighty Word of God.
"It is more like a school than a camp," explained 'Stephen,' the Director of Training. "Over 100 students come here annually from all over the Arab world for intensive training in Church planting and evangelism." |

ChinaAid Releases 2012 Annual Report on 'Chinese Government Persecution'
Government persecution of Christians and churches in mainland China deteriorated for the seventh straight year, ChinaAid said Monday in its annual report, with the defining characteristic of 2012's persecution being the government's stated intention of eradicating house churches.
Based on information collected by ChinaAid in 2012 on 132 persecution cases involving 4,919 people, the number of people sentenced jumped 125% over the previous year and the incidences of persecution rose 41.9% from 2011. |

Boy Scouts Could be Poised to Reverse Gay Leader Policy
The Boy Scouts of America is seriously considering lifting its ban on gay and lesbian troop leaders and could make the change official the first few days of February, a move that likely will disappoint Southern Baptist churches and many faith-based organizations that comprise a majority of all sponsors.
About 70 percent of all Boy Scout units are chartered by faith-based organizations, and the Boy Scouts national organization just six months ago reaffirmed its policy on homosexual leaders following a two-year review. |

‘Gay’ Issue Threatens Plans for Christian Law School
A Christian university in British Columbia wants to add a law school -- but the Council of Canadian Law Deans opposes it because the school would follow biblical principles on homosexuality.
Trinity Western University, located near Vancouver, is no stranger to controversy. Employees, instructors, and students must sign a covenant that, in part, says they will refrain from homosexual conduct. "In keeping with biblical and TWU ideals, community members voluntarily abstain from ... sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman," it reads. Yet homosexual "marriage" is legal in Canada. |

Lance Armstrong's 10-Mile Brush With Faith
