Missing Wisconsin Teen Jayme Closs Found Alive after Being Kidnapped Three Months Ago
13-year-old Jayme Closs was found alive Thursday afternoon after having been missing for almost three months.
According to the Star Tribune, the teen was kidnapped from her home in October after her parents were shot dead in their Wisconsin home.
Closs’ disappearance drew national attention and for 88 days dozens of people – both civilians and law enforcement – looked for the girl.
Barron County Attorney General Brian White recalled in a press conference on Friday, “It was only a few months ago that we as a community gathered to pray for Jayme’s safe return at Barron High School.”
“God has answered those prayers,” he added.
The Star Tribune reports that on Thursday afternoon Closs approached a stranger walking their dog in Douglas County and asked them for help.
In the press conference, Douglas County Sheriff Tom Dalbec confirmed this report. He said, “My agency received a 911 call at about 4:30 yesterday afternoon from the individual who was out walking her dog. She said she was approached by a young female claiming to be Jayme Closs.”
“This lady immediately went to a nearby house, notified that neighbor of the claim and this neighbor called 911 and my deputies responded in mass, immediately,” he continued.
The Sheriff noted that they were able to confirm that the young girl found was indeed Jayme Closs and…
Open Heaven 12 January 2019 Saturday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Gains of Pain II
Topic: The Gains of Pain II (Open Heaven 12 January 2019)
Memorise:“Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:”- Luke 12:8
Read: Matthew 19:27-29 (KJV)
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Bible in One Year: Matthew 24-25, Isaiah 10:5-19
Open Heaven 12 January 2019 Saturday MESSAGE:
Unless we want to engage in self-deceit, carrying one’s cross to follow Christ is very costly. We thank God that our Lord Jesus Christ did not hide the truth about this for us. As part of His Sermon on the Mount, He said in Matthew 5:10-11:
“10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”
Furthermore, in today’s memory verse, He puts us on notice that it is possible for a person to deny Him in the face of persecution. He also said that whoever identifies with Him in this wicked generation is the fellow He would identify with in the Kingdom of God. Hearing Him say these words, Peter asked Jesus what the reward will be for those who sacrifice all to follow Him. It is interesting to read Christ’s response in Matthew 19:28:
“…Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
One grave lesson to learn from this scripture is that Judas Iscariot was numbered among the twelve destined to sit on one of the twelve thrones, but unfortunately he did not end well. I pray that you will finish well in Jesus’ Name. Another lesson is that Jesus Christ did not assure the disciples of gains only in the distant future of the afterlife. In Mark 10:30, He also said:
“But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.”
If you are ever in doubt as to what the Lord Jesus Christ promised in this scripture verse, just try and read the story of my life. I am a living testimony of God’s faithfulness to His word. At a time in my ministry, my wife and I had to sell our cars in order to fund the preaching of the gospel. Today, you will not believe the number of cars the Lord has blessed us with. In fact, there was a time we received so many cars as gifts that we had to redistribute them to our pastors who are in need of cars to do the work of the ministry. At a point in my life, I have had to give up a big house to live in a servants’ quarters for the sake of the gospel, but a time came when I started rejecting houses being donated to me. Beloved, I can assure you that there is abundant gain in the pains endured for Christ’s sake. What is that pain you are currently experiencing for the sake of the gospel? The good news is that it has its expiry date; Jesus will recompense you beyond your wildest imagination here and hereafter.
Open Heaven 12 January 2019 Saturday Prayer Point:
Father, grant me the grace to endure the necessary pain for the sake of the gospel and Your kingdom, and please don’t let me miss out on the gains You have in store for me.
Open Heaven 12 January 2019 Saturday Hymn 8: My Faith Looks Up To Thee
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!

Turkey to Build First-Ever Church in Its Modern Republic
Work on the first-ever church to be built in the modern Republic of Turkey will start next month.
Construction on the church will take about two years, according to The Christian Post.
The church is expected to serve Syriac Orthodox Christians. The church’s capacity is about 700 people. There are some 17,000 Syriac Orthodox Christians living in Istanbul.
“We’re proud of living under the Turkish flag in this land,” said Yusuf Cetin, the Syriac Orthodox Church’s metropolitan for Istanbul and Ankara.
While the country does have older churches, the Syriac Orthodox church will be the first one to be built in modern Turkey since the end of the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s.
“It is the first since the creation of the republic,” a government official said when plans for the church were announced in 2015. “Churches have been restored and reopened to the public, but no new church has been built until now.”
The church will be built in an area near the Ataturk International Airport.
St John the Baptist Church in Hartford in Cheshire will offer the ‘Grand Service’ to three couples in 2019 who otherwise would not be able to afford a church wedding.
The vicar, Rev Mike Smith told Premier’s News Hour: “It was an idea that came a few years ago now, when we had a couple who cancelled their wedding in church for cost reasons. That was followed by a couple more who did the same thing. It was about that time the Church of England decided to put a massive hike on its wedding fees and I felt uncomfortable with that and so began to put together a team of volunteers with the idea that we could do somebody’s whole day for an affordable price.”
The average cost of a wedding in the UK this year has now risen to over £30,000.
The offer at St John the Baptist includes an organist who will play for free, someone to make a two-tiered cake, a photographer, a lady who is offering dress alterations and flowers.
The package includes a catered reception in the Church Centre for up to 30 guests including a two course meal. A further 20 guests can be added at pro-rata cost.
Rev Mike said the church have been willing to chip-in with their gifts: “This is a group who very much share the belief that marriage is one of God’s great gifts and we want to help people get on that track”.
The church have had eight couples apply for the three dates this year, one of which…
Christian Mother, Pastor Fear for Their Lives after Attacks in Eastern Uganda
NAIROBI, Kenya, January 11, 2019 (Morning Star News) – Muslims in eastern Uganda sent a Christian mother to the hospital with injuries from a beating in one village and tore down a church building in another, sources said.
Both the woman and the pastor of the destroyed church building fear their lives could be in danger.
Deborah Gimbo of Budaka town was attacked the afternoon of Dec. 20 while praying by herself in her home. She prays three evenings a week in her home with two other Christian women, and the assailants told her they did not want them praying loudly in Jesus’ name, Gimbo told Morning Star News.
“Today we have come to warn you that you should avoid noisy prayers and the use of Issa [Jesus] in your prayers,” the four assailants said as they intruded into her home at 2 p.m., according to Gimbo.
A local sheikh (teacher) had instructed the assailants that people who pray in Jesus’ name should be fought and pressured until they accept only worship of Allah, or else be killed, she said.
“I said, ’I cannot stop praying, and more so, Issa is my Lord and Savior, and I will continue praying in His name,’” Gimbo told Morning Star News. “Immediately two of the intruders left the house, and in no time entered the room again with sticks and started beating me. I was hit on my face, and blood started flowing down my face as I started…
An athletics club for the Holy See has been launched.
The 60 members include nuns, Swiss Guards, a 62-year-old professor and even refugees who live there.
The club’s President, Monsignor Melchor Sanchez told Premier’s News Hour the Vatican is trying to use sport to promote peace and dialogue.
“First and foremost it’s to strengthen friendship and community life,” he said. “Secondly [to help] all the cultural, spiritual and ecumenical initiative that we’ve been doing.”
While the dream is to see the Vatican flag at the Olympics opening ceremony, the team homes to soon compete in small competition soon.
Sanchez said they were looking for events where “the symbolic or the cultural dimension is more important that the athletic”.

Doctor Strange Director: Christians ‘Are the Core Problem’ in America
A Hollywood director who is known for his faith and for his films about spirituality says Christians are the “core problem” in America.
Scott Derrickson, who directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Deliver Us From Evilas well as the more well-known Doctor Strange, made the comments this week on Twitter.
“American Christians have long loved their pop culture heroes. I have frustrated attempts to make me one because of this singular heart-felt conviction,” Derrickson wrote Monday. “… In America, we Christians are not the solution. We are the core problem.”
American Christians have long loved their pop culture heroes. I have frustrated attempts to make me one because of this singular heart-felt conviction…
…In America, we Christians are not the solution. We are the core problem.
That sparked a debate on Twitter over what Derrickson meant. One person wrote to Derrickson: “I agree with your diagnoses and can appreciate the spirit of your resistance. Curious how you think those of us who are Christians who want to help fix the problem can best help turn the tide (even if the best answer is just to get out of the way)?”
Derrickson responded: “1. Reject Christian nationalism — it’s a straight-up heresy. 2. Read the gospels — Jesus was about aiding the poor, the judged,…
A controversial plan to extend the two-child benefits cap retrospectively – affecting those born before April 2017 – is to be scrapped.
Work and pensions secretary Amber Rudd says she wants to “reset” the public perception of Universal Credit.
Speaking to Premier following the announcement, Bishop of Durham Rt Rev Paul Butler said it was good news for families and it showed that the government was listening to those concerned.
Calling for further action, he said: “I hope this also signals a willingness to look at the two child limit more fully.
“It’s a policy the Church of England have always had major questions about because it undervalues the life of every child.”
Currently families who have had their third child since April 2017 aren’t able to claim benefits for them.
Today’s announcement has been welcomed by Christian Labour MP Helen Goodman.
Speaking to Premier, she said: “I was the MP who led the rebellion against the legislation which was introduced in 2015. I think it’s wholly wrong and unjust to penalise these families with more than two children.”
Again calling for the government to go further, she said: “The decision is not absolutely perfect because it applies to children who were born before the change is made, not all future families. I don’t think there should be a cap at all in families that are having three or four children now.
U.S. Air Force Veteran Raises More than $20 Million to Build the Border Wall
U.S. Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage is on a mission to raise the funds needed to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and in less than one month he has already raised more than $20 million.
On December 16, Kolfage created a GoFundMe page called “We the People Will Fund the Wall,” where he is asking the American people to help the government build the controversial border wall. Kolfage wrote, “If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.”
Since the campaign began just under one month ago, 336,448 people have donated $20,132,662 for the wall. The campaign’s goal is to reach $1 billion, CBN News reports.
In an interview on Wednesday with Fox Business Network, Kolfage said the Democrats in Congress are only fighting against the wall because they want to control the vote and the people. He said, “They’re playing games. They want to have illegal aliens in this country so they can control the people, they want to control the votes, they want to control things.”
“It’s all political agenda,” he added.
Kolfage went on to say that Democrats saying the border wall is immoral is “Not what this country’s about.”
The U.S. military veteran said that he started this GoFundMe account because “We need to start protecting the American people.”
