After some time, more than 30 believers were gathered in that
house; therefore, we have to move to a new place. Our church
purchased a piece of land with a small hut where we began Sunday
worship. Day by day, people came to know about Jesus Christ, and
it was necessary to build a church building. As an Alabaster project,
a new church building was constructed, and now we worship on
Sundays in this new building. I am happy to say that God did miracle
in our life. Jinarani, Norton Bridge, Hatton, Sri Lanka

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik

Did you knowthat when three Houston churches applied for FEMA (Federal
Emergency Management Agency) funding they were denied for being "too religious"? A
20-year policy guidance from the FEMA, provides that any institution that spends more
than half of its space on "religious programming" isn't eligible for
aid. President Trump stated "Churches in Texas should be entitled to reimbursement
from FEMA Relief Funds for helping victims of Hurricane Harvey (just like
others). In a letter to FEMA Administrator Brock Long, Senator Ben Sasse (R-Nebr.)
states: "This policy discriminates against people of faith. It sends the message that
communities of worship aren't welcome to participate fully in public life... It reduces the
facilities and volunteers time, talent, and effort available to support the broader
community. And it is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's recent 7-2 ruling
in Trinity Lutheran... In other words, it is unconstitutional. It is unreasonable. And it is
impeding ongoing recovery efforts. When disasters strike," he pointed out, "it's our
churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious organizations that spring into
action, offering crucial facilities, manpower, and numerous other forms of support to
affected communities." And, as USA Today explains, that isn't one conservative's
opinion. It's a fact. "Faith groups provide the bulk of disaster recovery, in coordination
