🚨🇪🇬 EGYPT: HE REFUSED TO DENY JESUS CHRIST. NOW HE FACES LIFE IN PRISON OR DEATH.
⛓️ 24 DAYS UNTIL COURT — DECEMBER 8, 2026.
A CHRISTIAN CONVERT. A FATHER SEPARATED FROM HIS CHILD. A MAN WHO REFUSED TO BREAK UNDER TORTURE.
HOW MUCH MORE MUST SAID ABDELRAZEK SUFFER FOR HIS FAITH?
Our brother in Christ, Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, converted from Islam to Christianity in 2016.
He fled to Russia seeking religious freedom but was deported to Egypt in 2024, where he was forcibly disappeared for 10 days.
⚠️ On July 15, 2025, after attempting to legally change his Egyptian national ID from Islam to Christianity, Said was arrested.
NOW HE FACES TERRORISM ACCUSATIONS THAT COULD COST HIM HIS LIFE.
💔 Saids treatment describes HORRIFIC ABUSE:
🩸 Suspended in a crucifixion-like position with ropes and handcuffs for hours.
🩸 His Christian cross tattoo forcibly removed, leaving painful injuries and bleeding.
🩸 Mocked, humiliated, and pressured to renounce Jesus Christ.
🩸 Severe urinary tract and lower back pain without adequate medical attention, despite requests for treatment.
🩸 A man with a HEART STENT, suffering behind prison walls while his family waits desperately for his return.
HE WAS TORTURED. HE WAS HUMILIATED. BUT HE REFUSED TO RENOUNCE CHRIST.
🔗 Today, Said remains imprisoned in Egypt's 10th of Ramadan Prison.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN TO A CHILD THAT THEIR FATHER MAY NEVER COME HOME BECAUSE HE CHOSE JESUS?
WHAT IF THIS WERE YOUR SON?
⚖️ DECEMBER 8, 2026.
LIFE IMPRISONMENT OR THE DEATH PENALTY COULD BE AT STAKE.
HOW CAN CHANGING THE RELIGION ON AN IDENTITY CARD LEAD TO TERRORISM ACCUSATIONS?
📖 HEBREWS 13:3
"Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them."
🕯️ DO NOT LET OUR BROTHER SUFFER IN SILENCE.
TAKE ACTION FOR SAID:

🚨💔🇳🇬 NIGERIA: A LITTLE BOY CRIES FOR HIS DADDY AS THEY LOWER HIM INTO HIS GRAVE. HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN MUST BURY THEIR PARENTS?
✝️ HIS NAME WAS PAUL ALAMBA.
HE WAS A FATHER. A HUMAN BEING. A MAN WHO DESERVED TO LIVE.
On October 7, 2026, Paul Alamba was killed in an ambush by Fulani Muslim attackers in Nigeria's Plateau State.
Paul was laid to rest at his family compound in Bet community, Barkin Ladi, Plateau State.
💔 BUT WHAT MAKES THIS VIDEO EVEN MORE HEARTBREAKING?
HIS LITTLE BOY IS THERE.
CRYING.
CALLING FOR HIS DADDY.
REACHING TOWARD THE COFFIN AS HIS FATHER IS LAID TO REST.
💔 IMAGINE BEING THAT CHILD.
Imagine watching people bury the person who was supposed to protect you, raise you, and watch you grow up.
Imagine calling for your daddy and not understanding why he cannot answer.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN TO A CHILD THAT HIS FATHER IS NEVER COMING HOME?
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT SOMEONE TOOK HIS DADDY'S LIFE?
😭 AS A PARENT, THIS IS HEARTBREAKING.
THAT LITTLE BOY SHOULD BE RUNNING INTO HIS FATHER'S ARMS.
NOT CRYING BESIDE HIS COFFIN.
HE SHOULD BE MAKING MEMORIES WITH HIS DADDY.
NOT WATCHING HIM BE LOWERED INTO THE GROUND.
🚨 NIGERIA, HOW MANY MORE FAMILIES MUST EXPERIENCE THIS?
HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN MUST BECOME FATHERLESS?
HOW MANY MORE MOTHERS MUST BURY THEIR SONS?
HOW MANY MORE WIVES MUST BURY THEIR HUSBANDS?
HOW MANY MORE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES MUST LIVE IN FEAR?
✝️ THE SUFFERING OF CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES IN PLATEAU STATE DESERVES INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.
THE VICTIMS DESERVE JUSTICE.
THEIR FAMILIES DESERVE PROTECTION.
AND THE CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND DESERVE A FUTURE WITHOUT FEAR.
⚖️ EVERY KILLING MUST BE INVESTIGATED.
THOSE RESPONSIBLE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO WATCH HIS FATHER BE BURIED BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE.
📖 MATTHEW 5:4
"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
🙏 LORD JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE COMFORT PAUL ALAMBA'S LITTLE BOY.
Wrap Your loving arms around this child.
Give strength to his grieving family.
Protect the innocent and bring peace to communities living in fear.
💔 PAUL ALAMBA WAS MORE THAN ANOTHER NAME IN A HEADLINE.
HE WAS SOMEBODY'S DADDY.
AND NOW HIS LITTLE BOY MUST GROW UP WITHOUT HIM.
🚨 THE WORLD MUST NOT BECOME NUMB TO THESE IMAGES.
A CHILD CRYING FOR HIS DEAD FATHER SHOULD MOVE EVERY HUMAN HEART.
✝️ REMEMBER PAUL ALAMBA.
REMEMBER HIS SON.
REMEMBER THE FAMILIES SUFFERING IN NIGERIA.
SHARE HIS STORY. PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY. CALL FOR JUSTICE.

People ask me how Angel decides what to release. We don't. The audience does.
About 3 million people in the Angel Guild watch and vote on what comes next. A film has to score 70 out of 100 before we release it. If it doesn't hit 70, it doesn't come out, no matter who's in it.
We also made the Angel Promise. No sex or nudity on screen, no F-word and no misuse of God's name in Angel originals. Families shouldn't have to pre-screen a movie before they can watch it together.
If you want more of what you love, join the Guild and vote.

Chuck Norris walked away from his film career when doctors couldn't figure out why his wife was dying. The couple spent nearly $2 million out of their own pocket to save her.
In the video below, Chuck and his wife Gena describe the moment he knew he was about to lose her.
In 2013, Gena had three MRI scans in one week. Each time, she was injected with a contrast dye containing a heavy metal called gadolinium.
Within days, she said she was burning from the inside. She couldn't swallow and had to be fed baby food. Her memory and her thinking started to go.
Doctors tested her for cancer, ALS and multiple sclerosis. Nobody had answers.
"I saw death in her eyes," Chuck says.
She spent 5 months on IVs in a clinic. He slept on a couch next to her bed the entire time and read 17 books. He never left.
Gena survived. Chuck later sued the drug companies behind the dye.
He died this March at 86, still married to the woman he refused to let go.
Would you give up everything you built to save the person you love?

🚨 BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has ruled 9-0 that freight brokers can be held LIABLE if they negligently hire unsafe trucking companies — including those with ILLEGAL ALIEN and FOREIGN drivers who violate CDL rules and cause accidents
LFG! Start cracking down on the companies 🔥
The opinion, delivered by Barrett, confirms that federal law does not shield these brokers from state negligence lawsuits.
This will likely help force brokers into being MUCH more careful about which carriers they use, because they want to avoid lawsuits
PURGE THE CDL SYSTEM and hold all trucking companies liable!
Non-English foreigners all over the roads needs to end.

Iraq: A stunning Coptic Christian church was commissioned this month in Baghdad.
The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, St. Paul the Hermit and St. Anthony the Great is the new Coptic Orthodox church that opened its doors.
The Copts in Iraq are Iraqis of Egyptian origin and Christians who arrived decades ago to work in medicine, engineering and various trades.
Their numbers grew to about 180,000 but then declined after instability gripped the country – there are roughly 250 such families today.
Pray for these families – and all the Christians of Iraq – may they enjoy peace and safety while reflecting Christ’s light throughout that ancient land.

This is Jeremiah, he’s 13. He’s a Christian kid who is available for adoption in Arkansas via Project Zero. During the early church era, Christian kids would have been immediately adopted. If you know anyone in Arkansas open to adopting Christian kids, please forward this.

An Assyrian child says the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic.
She is in Iraq, where the Christian population has collapsed since 2003.
Nobody answered for the 2003 invasion.
Nobody answered for ISIS in 2014.
Assyrian Christianity, as old as the Apostles, hangs by a thread.
