Algerian, African church going underground
The Protestant church in Algeria is going underground.
The Muslim-majority country is located in North Africa. Authorities there have shut down nearly all Evangelical churches over the past decade. Many Christians now meet secretly in homes.
One Algerian pastor told Morning Star News, “The situation is undeniably difficult because we are deprived of fellowship. But God’s work must not stop. We desperately lack Bibles and Christian books, as customs officials systematically confiscate them even when friends bring them from the West.”
Algeria is ranked 20th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the worst countries for the persecution of Christians.
British soldiers are asking about Christ
Faith is increasing in the British military.
Army chaplains report more recruits are asking about Christianity, attending services, and requesting baptism.
Dr. Martin Gliniecki is the executive director of the Soldiers’ and Aviators’ Scripture Readers Association. He told Christian Today, “We have prayed for revival in our nation for many years now and … revival in our Armed Forces too. Something is happening. While our Armed Forces are the smallest in modern history, the harvest remains plentiful.”
In Luke 10:2, Jesus said, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
British millionaire stands up for persecuted street preachers
A British millionaire is standing up for persecuted street preachers.
Businessman Samuel Leeds has pledged to fund the legal representation of Christian street preachers who are targeted by police.
He told Truth Times, “We see Christians being persecuted all over the world, but seeing it happen in Great Britain — seeing the disdain, the hatred, and now the oppression of Christian voices — really bothers me. … Where Christians are being unfairly targeted simply for preaching their faith, I’m prepared to put my money behind defending them.”
Amen!
Democrat primary voters elect another leftist
The left wing of the Democratic Party continues to win election primaries.
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, whose parents came to America from Egypt, won the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan on Tuesday. The 41-year-old is an epidemiologist who received his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University, served as director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services of Wayne County, Michigan, from 2023 to 2025, and was a candidate in the 2018 Michigan gubernatorial election.
EL-SAYED: “What a race! You know, in the words of Muhammad Ali, we shook up the world!”
Endorsed by socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, among other leftists, he narrowly defeated Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel moderate Democrat.
Remarkably, super PACs, political action committees, spent $60 million on the race, supporting Stevens 9-1.
El-Sayed champions the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as ICE, ending most U.S. military aid to Israel, and wants a universal, government-funded health insurance program that covers everyone.
If you take the time to watch his 19-minute victory speech, which we have linked in our transcript at www.TheWorldview.com, you will notice he is an articulate spokesman for his cause.
EL-SAYED: “So, whether you voted for me or voted for my opponent or didn't vote at all, we're inviting you to that movement to get money out of politics, so we can put money back in pockets, and finally guarantee the promise of health care through Medicare for All.”
If elected in November, Abdul El-Sayed would be the first Muslim in the Senate.
