How you can bless displaced Christians in Nigeria

Open Doors reports that Muslim jihadists are resorting to displacement, violence, kidnapping and murder against our Christian brothers and sisters in sub-Saharan Africa. Right now, there are more than 16.2 million displaced Christians in the region—many of them forced to flee because of their faith in Jesus.

Nigerian Pastor Barnabas, who was forced to leave his home, is blunt about the reality. He said, “It is not easy to live in an Internally Displaced Persons camp. If not for God’s intervention, if not for God’s love, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

The partners of Open Doors are on the ground in Nigeria and were able to get emergency aid to the camp where Pastor Barnabas lives. But there are so many more people, like Pastor Barnabas, who need help.

When you give $37 through Open Doors, you give vital support to a displaced believer in sub-Saharan Africa, providing food, clothing and shelter. Check out a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

Proverbs 11:25 says, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

Madison Square Garden comedian insulted Puerto Ricans at Trump event

At Donald Trump’s 3-hour-long Madison Square Garden campaign rally on Sunday, which attracted 20,000 people, a no-name comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, delivered an inexcusable joke at the expense of Puerto Ricans.

HINCHCLIFFE: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

Sean Hannity asked Trump for his response on Fox News.

TRUMP: “Somebody said there was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something. I have no idea who he is, never saw him, never heard of him. What they’ve done is taken somebody that has nothing to do with the party, has nothing to do with us, and they try and make a big deal. I’ve done more for Puerto Rico than any president.”

Biden calls Trump supporters “garbage”

President Joe Biden reacted to the comedian’s remarks.

BIDEN: “Donald Trump has no character. He only cares about the billionaire friends he has and accumulated wealth for those at the top. Now, he says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country. Give me a break. He wants to do away with the birthright citizenship. And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico ‘a floating island of garbage.’

“Well, let me tell you something. They’re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”

Trump to Biden: 250 million Americans are not “garbage”

At a campaign rally on Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump reacted to Biden’s remarks.

TRUMP: “I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage. (cheers) This week, Kamala has been comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. And now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, Crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage. No way, (boos) no way.

“My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple: you can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans. That’s true.” (cheers)

And Trump rejected the demonization of his supporters.

TRUMP: “For the past nine years, Kamala and her party have called us racist, bigots, fascists, deplorables, irredeemables, Nazis. And they called me Hitler. (boos) They bullied you. They’ve demonized us. They’ve censored us. They’ve de-platformed us. And they weaponized the power of our own government against all of us.”

Possible political fallout with Hispanic voters

Regarding the potential Election Day fallout to the outrageous comment about Puerto Rico by the no-name comedian, Luke Winkie, a columnist for Slate, said it well. “There’s a strong chance that the whole election once again could come down to Pennsylvania, which also happens to be home to one of the highest populations of Puerto Ricans in the United States, comprising about 8 percent of the state’s residents.”

Prior to the Madison Square Garden controversy, Pew Research documented that 57% of Hispanic voters supported Kamala Harris and 39% supported Donald Trump, which is demonstrably higher than previous GOP presidential candidates. The question is whether he will be able to woo them back before next Tuesday.

Selfish couple demands surrogate abort their baby

Marty and Melinda Rangers prioritized their busy careers and shunned having children.

According to The Daily Mail, after the married couple made a small fortune in the real estate business, they retired early, moved to the Caribbean, and hired a doctor to create their children in a petri dish. The doctor, who was paid $30,000, transferred several of the couple’s embryos at an In Vitro Fertilization clinic into the rented womb of a surrogate who was paid $65,000.

The contract included a prohibition on drugs and alcohol and a ban on leaving the country for the duration of the pregnancy or the state during the third trimester. Three-and-a-half months into the pregnancy, Melinda found on social media that the young woman they had rented had allegedly consumed alcohol. The woman assured them that it was not a shot of alcohol in the photo, but water.

However, Marty said, “After much deliberation, we decided the best thing to do would be to terminate our baby at 20 weeks.” Tragically, the selfish married couple demanded that the young woman, their surrogate, procure a late-term abortion for “breach of contract,” and she did, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

Psalm 127:3 says, “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

Stranded astronauts returned to Earth last Friday

And finally, the astronauts who were stranded aboard the International Space Station for 8 months splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico at 3:29 a.m. Eastern on Friday, October 25th off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org.

In August, when Boeing’s Starliner space capsule scheduled to pick them up had to return to the Earth empty for malfunctions and safety concerns, there must have been a small measure of concern.

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 mission includes Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Alexander Grebenkin.

During their mission, crew members traveled nearly 100 million miles and completed 3,760 orbits around Earth. They conducted new scientific research to advance human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit human life on Earth. Research and technology demonstrations included conducting stem cell research to develop organoid models for studying degenerative diseases, exploring how fuel temperature affects material flammability, and studying how spaceflight affects immune function in astronauts.

Their return to Earth is an answer to many prayers.
