    \u201cSo we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is <\/em>unseen,<\/em> since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.\u201d 2 Corinthians 4:18<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"Chad_2017_0270101337\"<\/em>Christians may face the wrath of the community when they turn their backs on <\/em>worship<\/em> of ancestors and things like trees and mountains to serve the creator God. This was the case with Samuel from southern Chad. See story below (Open Doors). <\/em><\/p>\n

    Greetings,<\/p>\n

    In putting together the news briefs we try to sidestep both political news and editorials, yet intriguing stories of kingdom challenges and advance are sometimes found in the shadows of the day\u2019s headlines. This edition includes several such stories.<\/p>\n

    You might also be interested in several articles about Syria, one describing the escape of seven Armenian Christians from ISIS-held Raqqa<\/a>, another providing chilling details from the findings of a study of torture in ISIS prisons<\/a>, and a third about how Christians are persevering in Aleppo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    For short, thoughtful, biblical insights on current events, consider subscribing to a monthly editorial from the director of INcontext<\/a>. This month\u2019s article is about our sometimes conflicting desires for certainty and understanding<\/a>.<\/p>\n
