22-Year-Old Seminary Student Drowns on His Honeymoon

22-Year-Old Seminary Student Drowns on His Honeymoon



A 22-year-old Seminary student drowned in the waters off Crescent Beach, Florida while he was on his honeymoon. Medics declared Dalton Cottrell dead just minutes after a lifeguard and another person at the beach pulled him out of the waters off of Crescent Beach, FL.


According to the Florida Times-Union, Dalton and his wife Cheyenne had only been married for three days. The couple ventured into the water for Cottrell’s first-ever swim in the ocean. Cheyenne told authorities that the current began pulling them farther from the shore and Dalton “started to freak out.” As his wife tried to help him back to shore, he panicked and pulled her underwater as well. He emerged from the water for a moment, then she saw his eyes roll back in his head, Faithwire reports.


A man on the beach heard Cottrell yelling and went into the water with a paddleboard. He and a lifeguard placed him on the board and brought him back to the shore. They performed CPR, but could not bring Cottrell back.


Cheyenne shared the heartbreaking news with her family and friends on Facebook. She started, “3 days of wedded bliss turned into a nightmare very quickly for the Cottrell family as well as mine own. Many of you know but more of you do not; so the family and I decided to put the awful news here on Facebook though this is not where I wish to place it or even have to say it.

“Yesterday afternoon while at the…

We’re on the edge of a new move of the Holy Spirit

Paul Harcourt, who is also the vicar at All Saints Woodford Wells, said, “In the last few weeks we’ve had people coming into our church who have had no real contact with the church for years before, woke up in the morning and felt ‘I just need to go to church’. And then they come in and the presence of God is so tangible in the service that they’re struck by something. They come forward at the end of the service and we lead them to faith.

 

“We baptised three people on Sunday night, it was only their first time in church two weeks ago”.

“One of the reasons I think we may be on the edge of a new move of the Holy Spirit is I hear that in many contexts up and down England”

Harcourt said that any future move of the Spirit would look different to what happened in past history because, “God rarely shows up in the same way [as before]”

He added that the popularity of recent prayer movements including 24/7 Prayer and Thy Kingdom Come could mean revival is around the corner.

“History teaches me that whenever there has been a mass move of prayer, there often comes a revival after that.

“So I believe we may be beginning to see something that looks like the turning of the tide”

Paul Harcourt was speaking ahead of New Wine’s summer festivals, which are currently being held in Peterborough

Franklin Graham Congratulates 2020 Hopeful Tulsi Gabbard on Winning Debate, Asks People to Pray for 2020 Election

Franklin Graham Congratulates 2020 Hopeful Tulsi Gabbard on Winning Debate, Asks People to Pray for 2020 Election



Evangelist Franklin Graham has praised 2020 hopeful Tulsi Gabbard for her performance in the Democratic Presidential debate that took place in Detroit on Wednesday.


Gabbard is a decorated military veteran, having been deployed to Iraq in 2004 as part of the Hawaii Army National Guard. After serving for some time as a military police officer, in 2015, Tulsi was promoted from Captain to the high rank of Major in the Hawaii Army National Guard.


Many were impressed with her performance in Wednesday’s debate, as she went toe-to-toe with popular frontrunner, Kamala Harris. Indeed, as a result of her robust and articulate approach, Gabbard was the most-googled candidate in the hours following the debate showdown.


“Congratulations Tulsi! Several news outlets are reporting that Representative Tulsi Gabbard was the winner in last night’s Democratic debate,” Graham wrote on Facebook. “I’ve met Rep. Gabbard and worked with her to help people in her state of Hawaii who were victims of devastating flooding on the island of Kauai as well as those impacted by the volcanic eruption on the Big Island of Hawaii last year.”


Graham qualified that he “may not agree with all of her positions,” – Tulsi is in favor of abortion and same-sex marriage. Despite these clear disagreements, Graham noted that Gabbard is “concerned and…

Nicki Minaj says Kanye West is a ‘born-again Christian’

Kanye West has been running weekly meetings that are similar to services, although most of the focus is on the music and community.

He has invited David Letterman, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, among other celebrities. 

Him and his wife Kim Kardashian have also invited Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr, from Miami Vous church who conducted their wedding ceremony, to preach. 

On the Apple Music podcast ‘Queen Radio’, the rapper Nicki Minaj and friend of the couple spoke about faith in the music industry, saying: “Sometimes in the music business, we think that other artists don’t believe in God or aren’t spiritual as we are and stuff like that. So we automatically go to the normal, ‘Oh, what up?’ Then when you find people, because I was just with Kanye, and he told me he’s a born-again Christian now,” she said.

 

 

Minaj, whose mother is a gospel singer, said Kanye found God after being hospitalised and diagnosed with bipolar disease in 2016.

“Like, my first instinct was, ‘I’m so proud of you,’ because I could see there’s a peace that he has now that just surpasses everything,” she said in an episode of the podcast that was released on 26th July. 

“And that’s what I find God gives you, and I love when I see men that are man enough to embrace God.”

Minaj was speaking to Chance the Rapper, who refers to Jesus in many of his songs and who took a break from his music last…

Angela, a First African, Tells Her Story in Jamestown, but Her Faith Is a Mystery

Angela, a First African, Tells Her Story in Jamestown, but Her Faith Is a Mystery



JAMESTOWN, Va. (RNS) — Wearing a yellow headwrap, gray skirt and soiled apron, a woman who says she is “called by the name of Angela” stood by the James River and told her story, one of faith and courage, darkness and hope.


“Every day, I rise,” said interpreter Valarie Holmes in late March on her first day portraying an enslaved woman forcibly brought to Virginia 400 years ago. “And then I ask: ‘Great Spirit, speak to me and give order to my thoughts, my words, my hands, my feet this day.’”


A group of dozens of visitors to Historic Jamestowne, the preserved site of the first permanent English settlement in the U.S., listened on the windswept banks of the river as Holmes spoke, including snippets of faith in her story.


The presentation is just one of many ways Americans are commemorating the 400th anniversary of the arrival of “taken people,” as Holmes calls the first documented Africans who arrived against their will in Virginia.


About 12.5 million Africans were transported and sold during the trans-Atlantic slave trade from the 16th to the 19th centuries. More than 300,000 were shipped to the U.S., historians estimate. The 1860 U.S. Census recorded a U.S. slave population of close to 4 million. The Emancipation Proclamation officially freed some Southern slaves in 1863 but many blacks remained enslaved until 1865.

Inmate who became a Christian in prison wins rights to Sunday worship

Freddie O’Neil, is serving a ten year sentence for rape and is currently an inmate at the John Howard Centre in London.

After being transferred to the psychiatric centre in 2018, Mr O’Neil filed a complaint about the lack of Christian services available to inmates.

Mr O’Neil claimed his numerous requests were not taken seriously by the NHS Trust which runs the centre, after which he sought legal action with the Christian Legal Centre (CLC).

A pre-action letter was sent to the East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) stating that, as a Christian, the patient needed to attend Sunday Christian services each week and receive Holy Communion.

CLC had been informed that no such service was available, which was in contrast to the Friday prayers being organised for Muslim inpatients each week.

 

In refusing the patient these services, CLC claimed the John Howard Centre was not only discriminating against Christian patients on the grounds of religion, but also breaching a number of its legal obligations including the right to freely exercise their religious faith through worship and observance.

Following a year-long legal battle, O’Neil said he knew he needed to take a stand, not only for his own spiritual needs but for those of his fellow inmates saying: “I am a damaged person, a convicted criminal, but the only true redemption I have found in my life is hope in Jesus Christ. I…
