[1] Pro-life Leaders Lay 3,300 Flowers, Hold Prayer Vigil and News Conference at the Supreme Court on the 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade
A memorial service on the 40th memorial of the U.S. Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was conducted by pro-life leaders Tuesday, 22 January 2013 at 1:00 p.m. on the public sidewalk in front of the SCOTUS.
The 3,300 flowers represent the 3,330 children that die every day in America from abortion and the 3,300 women who are wounded through abortion.
The leaders will also discuss the future of the pro-life movement after President Obama's victory in November 2012 and their strategies for ending abortion in America.
Reformed Presbyterian Minister and Director of the Christian Defense Coalition the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, stated:
"On the 40th Memorial of Roe v. Wade, our hearts break for the tragic loss of millions of innocent children and the diminishing of women through the violence of abortion.
"We are leaving these flowers to honor these children and say their lives have purpose, meaning and dignity.
"We are also standing with the women who have been wounded through abortion, and calling upon our nation to offer women in challenging pregnancies something better than abortion.
"Although disappointing, the election of President Obama has energized our movement in a powerful way and it is forcing us to work on a local and state level where our greatest strength has always been.
"Right now, there are five states that have only one abortion clinic and we will soon see America's first abortion free state.
"The simple reality is Roe v. Wade will most likely crumble, not through being overturned at the Supreme Court, but through the constant chipping away through local initiatives and state courts.
"Our message is clear on the 40th Memorial of Roe. We will never rest or be silent until the violence of abortion ends and there is human rights and justice for all Americans!"
Additionally, pro-life activists gathered at the Inaugural Prayer Service at the National Cathedral for President Obama on Tuesday morning 23 January 2013 at 9:00 a.m. to challenge the President to end the violence against all of America's children.

[2] Biblical Vision for Church and Your Life Urgently Needed
By Dr. Michael A. Milton, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary
On the day of the tragic Connecticut shootings, I shared personal time with Michael Reagan, son of the 40th president of the United States. It just so happened, that Michael and I were to be speaking about an upcoming book. What really came out of that time was more than an endorsement for a book. I got to hear the passionate heart of a man who reflected both his frustration and his deep prayerful spirit for our nation.
We talked about how the Church must find its way back home to prophetically and faithfully help our people see that our problems we face are, first, spiritual in nature. Mike seemed to be saying to me that the tragedy of that day’s awful event revealed the truth: the problems of our nation are altogether spiritual and not social; moral and not political. Michael told me that within hours, he suspected that there would be pundits talking about the need for gun control or for revisions in our educational system. He was right. But little attention has been paid to the real need: the need for revival — for God to hear the cries of a desperate people and “come down” and save us from ourselves. Such a message cannot come from others. That must come from believers in the Church. This is our time to lead — “not to lead from behind” — but to lead on our knees; in prayer and in sounding forth biblical truth.
I wrote Finding a Vision for Your Church: Assembly Required out of that need. I initially prepared the book for our own seminaries’ need, and the perennial need of the Church that we serve, to have a biblical guide for pastors, church planters, and those in revitalization in “assembling” a comprehensive ministry’s plan that is thoroughly grounded in the supernatural vision of God. It has ended up being the book about so much more: a book about finding God’s vision for our nation; for our lives.
This not a book on “how to write a ‘business plan’ for your church or ministry.” To the contrary. It is a call to discover the divine burden, values, vision, mission, philosophy of ministry and strategies of God for building His Church His way. When that happens, supernatural means lead to supernatural cures. That divine cure is what our nation needs so desperately. That divine cure is what the Church has access to and must share — for the sake of all.
There are good resources for leading a congregation in articulating a vision for ministry. This book is not, therefore, any sort of frustrated polemic, but a personal, pastoral cry for pastors, church leaders, and every believer to return to a passion for revival as the catalyst for transformation. In a real way this book transcends a narrow focus of “writing a mission for your church” to “Finding a Vision for YOUR LIFE: Assembly required.”
My conversation with Mike Reagan reminded me of that. The tragedies and enormous threats to our nation and world convinced me of it.
We have the answer. But do we really know God’s burden that will lead to God’s vision? Finding the vision is one thing. Assembling that vision for our church and our nation is another. But is there any other way? And if not now, when?

[3] An Inaugural Prayer for Barack Obama in His Second Term as the 44th President of the United States of America
By Dr. Michael A. Milton, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary
Almighty and everlasting God, our Father and our Lord: we gather our hearts, hopes, and dreams from across this nation to give thanks for the freedom that comes only from Thee, and is expressed in the Constitution of these United States, and invested in this inaugural service of the President of the United States. As we ask for Thy anointing, protection, wisdom, strength, humility, and guidance for your servant, Barack, and as we pray for divine protection for his beloved wife, our First Lady, and their precious daughters, we ask that our government may be pleasing in Thy sight: standing for the life you so freely give, defending the rights of that liberty you so graciously bestow, and upholding those laws written upon our hearts which you have so wondrously engraved. Let our government rule no further than thou hast ordained, but no less than thou hast commanded.
We have found ourselves to be a divided people on many things, too often uninformed on the most important things, distracted by trivial things, and in need of your unifying power from on high on all things. We confess that evil stalks our land, frightens our children, and diminishes the light of hope. Yet as long as there is life, there is hope in Thee. “Greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world.” We who call upon your name and believe in your power, and have marked well your dealings with us in the past, through our forbearers who covenanted with You that this country would be a “City on a Hill,” a special land of liberty to help others oppressed, believe that we may approach Thy throne of grace with that old covenant and plead for true spiritual revival again. We have no pathway out of the danger, no force to bring unity, and no wisdom to find guidance, unless you, O Lord, come down and lead us by Thy Holy Spirit.
LORD, as your minister, crying out for all people of all faiths, we implore You and beg of You to have mercy upon us, to forgive us, and to unleash that refreshing newness of life which only You can bring. As we pray for the one you have appointed to lead us, help him and his counselors, and our Congress and Supreme Court, and our States, to remember that our solutions are spiritual and not political, moral and not legislative, and our hope for the future of our nation is grounded in Your power demonstrated through our submissiveness to Divine justice and our humble dependence upon Divine grace.
Respecting all of our countrymen of all faiths, I render humble thanksgiving for the opportunity to make this prayer in the name of the Pilgrim’s God, Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior of mankind who bids us, “Come unto Me all you who are weary and I will give you rest.” Amen.

[4] U.S. Congressman Frank Wolf (Virginia) Calls on 300 Western Protestant and Catholic Leaders to Speak Out on Behalf of Persecuted Church Globally
U.S. Congressman Frank Wolf (Virginia) on 9 January 3013 sent the following letter to 300 western Protestant and Catholic leaders:
Dear Friend,
Christians worldwide just celebrated the birth of Jesus. For those of us living in the West, this was a festive season marked by worship services, gift-giving and time with family and friends. But for our brethren in the Middle East, fear of persecution and outright violence or even death cast a long dark shadow over the Christmas holiday.
While most striking in the Middle East, given the ancient roots of Christianity in that part of the world, the challenges facing those believers are by no means isolated, nor are they anything “new under the sun.”
Ecclesiastes 4:1 says, "I saw the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; power was on the side of the oppressor." As you well know, oppression has marked the church since its birth. Consider the chilling words of Roman historian Tacitus regarding the early church:
"Besides being put to death they were made to serve as objects of amusement; they were clad in the hides of beasts and torn to death by dogs; others were crucified, others set on fire to serve to illuminate the night when daylight failed..."
Every day, around the world, men and women of faith are imprisoned, beaten, detained, tortured and even killed. The book of Hebrews enjoins us to "remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." Do we suffer with our brethren? Have we in the West ceased to be salt and light?
Consider that on our watch a historic exodus of Christians from the Middle East is underway—an exodus fueled by persecution.
German Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, faced with the tyranny and horror of Nazism, famously said, “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
And that is precisely what many in the church did, or failed to do, as Hitler unleashed his murderous plans. I recently encountered this haunting account by a German Christian in the book When a Nation Forgets God:
“I lived in Germany during the Nazi Holocaust. I considered myself a Christian. We heard stories of what was happening to the Jews, but we tried to distance ourselves from it, because, what could anyone do to stop it?
A railroad track ran behind our small church and each Sunday morning we could hear the whistle in the distance and then the wheels coming over the tracks. We became disturbed when we heard the cries coming from the train as it passed by. We realized that it was carrying Jews like cattle in the cars!
Week after week the whistle would blow. We dreaded to hear the sound of those wheels because we knew that we would hear the cries of the Jews en route to a death camp. Their screams tormented us.
We knew the time the train was coming and when we heard the whistle blow we began singing hymns. By the time the train came past our church we were singing at the top of our voices. If we heard the screams, we sang more loudly and soon we heard them no more.
Years have passed and no one talks about it anymore. But I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. God forgive me; forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians and yet did nothing to intervene.”
The parallels are imperfect but the sentiments are the same. Has our comfort led to complacency? Can the church in the West be galvanized to act?
A phrase not often heard outside the majority Muslim world is “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” The “Saturday people” are of course the Jews. Their once vibrant communities in countries throughout the region are now decimated. In 1948 there were roughly 150,000 Jews in Iraq; today less than 10 remain. In Egypt, there were once as many as 80,000 Jews; now less than 100 remain.
It appears a similar fate awaits the ancient Christian community in these same lands. Iraq's Christian population has fallen from as many as 1.4 million in 2003 to between 500,000 and 700,000 today. Churches have been targeted, believers kidnapped for ransom and families threatened with violence if they stay. In October 2010, Islamist extremists laid siege on Our Lady of Salvation Catholic Church in Baghdad killing over 50 hostages and police and wounding dozens more.
In Egypt with the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood, Coptic Christians, numbering roughly 8 to 10 million, are leaving in droves. Ironically, some 2,000 years ago, the Holy Family sought refuge in this same land from the murderous aims of King Herod.
In the midst of devastating bloodshed in Syria, the Christian population is particularly vulnerable. A recent ABC News story reported, “They [Christians] are fearful that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Islamic groups.”
Over the span of a few decades, the Middle East, with the exception of Israel, was virtually emptied of Jews. The same thing will happen to the Christian community if the current trajectory holds true. And yet, the silence of many in the West is deafening. Such stories receive scant attention in the mainstream media, and perhaps more strikingly, are rarely spoken of from our pulpits.
A recent study on Christian persecution released by the British-based think tank Civitas explained the media’s seeming ambivalence this way: “Parts of the media have been influenced by the logical error that equates criticism of Muslims with racism, and therefore as wrong by definition. This has further distracted attention away from the hounding of Christians, helping to cement the surprisingly widespread idea that Christianity is a ‘Western’ faith.”
And yet, we in the church ought to know better. The Middle East is the very cradle of Christendom. Consider Iraq: with the exception of Israel, the Bible contains more references to the cities, regions and nations of ancient Iraq than any other country. The patriarch Abraham came from a city in Iraq called Ur. Isaac’s bride, Rebekah, came from northwest Iraq. Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq and his sons (the 12 tribes of Israel) were born in northwest Iraq. A remarkable spiritual revival as told in the book of Jonah occurred in Nineveh. The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq as did the account of Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Furthermore, many of Iraq’s Christians still speak Aramaic the language of Jesus.
So how do we account for the Church’s indifference? Is it political correctness? Lack of awareness? What tragedy must befall this community before we are propelled to act?
The persecution plaguing the Middle East is no exception. Christians are targeted throughout the world in countries like China, Vietnam and Pakistan. According to the Civitas study, “More Christians are imprisoned in China than in any other country in the world.” If the faith community in the West isn’t engaged, are we surprised when government leaders turn a blind eye to matters of religious freedom?
Consider the following: bipartisan legislation to create a special envoy position at the State Department charged with advocating on behalf of religious minorities in the Middle East and South Central Asia overwhelmingly passed the House of Representatives more than a year and half ago. But it remained stalled in the Senate as a result of State Department opposition and the refusal of the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and presumptive secretary of state, John Kerry, to even hold a hearing on the legislation.
I have had the privilege of meeting individuals who boldly follow Jesus despite unbelievably hostile circumstances. Shabbaz Bhatti, Pakistan’s federal minister for minority affairs, and the only Christian Member of the cabinet and an outspoken critic of his country’s blasphemy laws, was one such man. On March 2, 2011 he was murdered, his car riddled with bullets, leaving his mother's house for work. In a video filmed shortly before his assassination (accessible on my Web site at http://wolf.house.gov/bhattivideo), Bhatti appears to sense that the path he has chosen will come with a price.
When asked about the threats against his life, he said, without malice or fear, "I believe in Jesus Christ who has given his own life for us. I know what is the meaning of [the] cross. And I am following the cross. And I am ready to die for a cause." And so he did.
The book of Proverbs tells us to "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves..." Bhatti can no longer speak. The Chinese bishop under house arrest cannot speak. The North Korean believer enslaved in the gulag can’t speak. The Iraqi nun fearing for her life cannot speak.
Will we be their voice? Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Are we not their friends?
The Church globally is under assault. Our response must not be to simply sing more loudly thereby drowning out the cries for help from our brothers and sisters. Rather we must speak out, advocate and act on their behalf.
From my perspective the Church in the West, specifically in America, is failing in this regard. Can you, as a leader in the Church, help? Are you pained by these accounts of persecution? Do you have ideas about how best to respond? Will you use your sphere of influence to raise the profile of this issue—be it through a sermon, writing or media interview? I welcome your thoughts and invite your engagement in this monumental task.
Next week, when Congress reconvenes, I intend to reintroduce the special envoy legislation and press for passage in both houses of Congress. I don’t pretend to think that a special envoy will single-handedly solve the problem, but it certainly can’t hurt to have a high-level person within the State Department bureaucracy who is exclusively focused on the protection and preservation of these ancient communities. Furthermore, to do nothing is simply not an option.
We in the West must speak out on behalf of the persecuted church around the world.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
Frank R. Wolf
Member of Congress

[5] CRCNA’s World Renew Supports Villages in War-Torn Mali
(23 January 2013) Amid the stories of armed conflict and civilian casualties that are coming out of Mali, several communities close to the fighting are telling a different story, one of resilience and solidarity.
When an escalation of the armed conflict in central Mali forced thousands of people to flee from their homes, their own countrymen and women in some of the neighboring villages came to their aid – providing emergency food and shelter to more than 2,200 people – thanks to training from World Renew, the Christian Reformed Church’s disaster-relief and development agency.
On Jan. 7, the jihadist groups who had taken control of northern Mali began a push southwards towards the capital, hoping to gain more territory. They began fighting with the Malian army and foreign troops in several towns near where World Renew has worked.
Many people who had been living in the area occupied by the jihadist group Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM) feared being used as human shields and ran for their lives during a brief break in the fighting.
They arrived in neighboring villages in mass numbers with only the clothes on their backs.
World Renew has been working with local communities in Mali on a wide variety of programs for 28 years. During this time, World Renew has trained community leaders in literacy, improved agriculture, child health, improved nutrition, and civic education.
World Renew has also helped farmers work together to form farmer co-op groups and build warehouses to store their joint harvests for future needs. When these communities saw the mass influx of displaced people arriving in their towns, they recognized their neighbors’ needs and also saw their own capacity to help.
Five of World Renew’s target communities decided to launch a feeding program for over 2,200 displaced people. The farmer co-op groups organized themselves, registered people, and set up feeding programs using their stored grain. They asked World Renew to support this urgent intervention by paying for the food that was used from the co-op warehouses and World Renew readily agreed.
At the time, there were no other organizations working in this area.
“Overall insecurity prevented aid organizations from reaching displaced people and providing emergency assistance,” said World Renew Director, Ida Kaastra Mutoigo.
“Instead, it was Malians with their World Renew training and available resources who stepped up and provided aid to those most in need.”
As foreign-backed Malian troops re-secure land that had been AQIM-controlled, many of the displaced families being helped through the feeding program have been enabled to return to their homes.
However the conflict is not yet over. Thousands are still displaced from their homes within Mali, and many more have fled to neighboring countries.
World Renew is monitoring the situation closely and will continue to respond where appropriate in cooperation with its long-time community partners.
