Do we take America for granted?

Freedoms of speech, religion, to assemble… But are we using our life to make a difference in creating a better world? How about in America? America has declined. Unless this nation's leadership lives up to the mission ordained by God, many troubles will come. God is beginning to leave America. This is God’s warning. In our time, all Christians should be world champions, destined to fulfill for God the role of the right-hand side thief. Christians must rise & be willing to struggle for the salvation of the world. But Christians today are too busy perfecting their separate denominations & church interests. Read more »

A child on the streets of Cali, Colombia

The forced recruitment and use of child soldiers is one of the most appalling human rights abuses in the world today. Many thousands of children are being exploited.

The recruitment and use of children in warfare violates international law. It also violates our most basic standards of human decency. The entire United Nations system and I are determined to stamp out such abuse.

In rural areas there is little access to medical care, education and other social services. Poverty is rife. Unemployment, a shortage of housing and a complete lack of social welfare threatens the very existence of much of the country’s population. More than half of Columbia’s population of 42 million lives below the poverty line. Family life is severely disrupted as thousands flee from conflict, swelling the ranks of the displaced in urban slums. Children and young people are disproportionately affected, and many end up on the streets. It is often the children who suffer most in this cycle of poverty and family disintegration.
