Well, the midterm elections are over. And you know what? Whatever happened in the election does not change the mission of @AiG one bit. Presidents come and go. Political parties gain and lose power. Congress changes. Supreme Court justices change. Laws change. Cultures change. But God’s Word never changes. And mankind’s greatest problem has never changed either. It’s sin.

Christian persecution is getting worse. The persecution and oppression of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world is getting worse, according to a report from Aid to the Church in Need UK.
