(Photo: Reuters/Joe Penney)An American missionary was among the dozens of civilians killed during an al Qaeda attack in the African nation of Burkina Faso over the weekend.
Michael Riddering, who was one of the 28 people killed by al Qaeda-linked militants in the Burkina Faso capital of Ouagadougou Friday night, was a father of four and director of an orphanage and women’s crisis center in the town of Yako, his mother-in-law, Carol Boyle, told The Associated Press.
Riddering, who traveled to the African nation in 20Christian Post Report – 1Christian Post Report – 1 along with his wife, Amy Boyle-Riddering, was in the capital city on Friday night to meet a group of people who were planning to volunteer at the orphanage and crisis center that he and his wife run.
Boyle explained that Riddering arrived early to the cafe where he was supposed to meet the group. When the attack began, Riddering was in the cafe with a local pastor. As shots were fired, Riddering and the pastor dispersed in different directions.
The pastor, who got ahold of Riddering’s phone, called Boyle-Riddering to tell her what had happened and where they were. Although the pastor survived, Riddering was not as fortunate. It wasn’t until another Christian missionary named Phillip Matheny found Riddering at the morgue the next morning that the family was told he had been killed.
Before selling their property and possessions so they could move to Burkina Faso to run the Les Ailes de Refuge orphanage in Yako in 20Christian Post Report – 1Christian Post Report – 1, Riddering worked as a manager for a yacht outfitting company in Florida, while his wife worked as a graphic designer.
“He was extremely well-loved and respected,” Boyle said. “He wasn’t a hypocrite, he wasn’t a two-face. He had his guiding light, and he followed it.”
The orphanage the Ridderings ran, which cared for 400 orphaned children, consisted of classrooms, a clinic, and a home for abused women. The orphanage was sponsored by the Christian missions organization Sheltering Wings, which sponsors a number of missions in West Africa.
“They were looking forward to continuing to work in Burkina Faso and raising their children together,” a statement from Sheltering Wings said. “Tragically and unexpectedly, Mike’s life was cut short. We grieve with Amy and her family, and all who knew Mike.”
John Anderson, a Sheltering Wings board member, told AP that Riddering was the kind of guy who would do the heavy lifting and dirty work that others shied away from.
“During the Ebola crisis, when it was hard to find people to do the digging, Mike would go out and join them so they could continue doing the work,” Anderson said. “And that’s backbreaking work. He never stopped moving and never stopped helping.”
According to CNN, the Ridderings adopted two of their children from Burkina Faso.
Sheltering Wings has set up an online donation fund that will support Boyle-Riddering and her children during this upsetting time in their lives.
“Heaven has gained a warrior! I know God has a purpose in all things but sometimes it is a complete mystery to me,” Boyle-Riddering posted on her FacebookSaturday. “My best friend, partner in crime and love of my life. The best husband ever. An amazing father to his children and a papa to everyone. My heart is so heavy and I am having trouble believing he is gone. Mike was an example in the way he lived and loved. God be glorified! Mike Riddering I will love you always! You left quite a legacy here. I can only imagine the adventures you are having now.”

Christian Post Report – One of America’s greatest liabilities is crime, not only in the cost of property loss and damage but the lives impacted by lawless acts. The best solution for America’s crime problem can be seen when a criminal is transformed through faith in Jesus. In fact, it does quite often, usually under the radar.
Case in point: Hillary Jones of Marysville, California — about two hours north of San Francisco — used to steal. She used to be a heroin addict and was homeless.
Then she became pregnant. Determined to have an abortion, she contacted Planned Parenthood. First, she had to prove she was pregnant.
She told me, “as far as Planned Parenthood goes, if you don’t have money or insurance, they won’t see you. I needed the verification to get insurance for the abortion.”
So she knowingly went into A Woman’s Friend clinic, a pro-life center, assuming she could stop up her ears, not hear what they were saying — and walk out with a certificate proving her pregnancy. But once she saw her unborn son on the sonogram, she was sold on giving him life.
The kindness Hillary experienced at A Woman’s Friend changed her life in all ways. They really cared about her, and she knew it.

Christian Post Report – Every January, I usually see the same faces coming to the local and national Marches for Life happening across our country. I long to see more people I don’t know participate, even people to whom I live next door. There may be a myriad of reasons why not everyone comes.
There may be a myriad of reasons why not everyone comes. You may think you don’t want to attend because that isn’t your thing — you are involved in other ministries and the pro-life stand is great, but not your battle.
Or you may not come because you don’t think anything is wrong with abortion.
You may not come because you aren’t a Christian and you leave that up to the Christians.
But what if?
What if you came just to see what it was like to attend? What if you came just to see what the people were like?
Here are 7 reasons I think everyone should experience the March for Life, whether in Washington, D.C. or other locations.

(Photo: Courtesy of Bill Bangham)Christian Post Report – David Platt, president of the International Mission Board, closes the Pastors’ Conference on June 15, 2015, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, with a sermon on Revelation 1.
The Southern Baptist Convention’s International Missions Board has announced that it will close its communications center in Virginia and lay off as many as 30 employees stateside as the entity moves forward with its two-phase organizational reset in an attempt to balance its budget by the end of 2017.
The IMB, which represents over 40,000 churches and 16 million members worldwide, announced last Thursday that organization will close its Richmond communications center by April 29 as it proceeds with the second phase of its plan to address its budget deficit.
Although 10 staff members of the facility will be transitioned to new roles within the IMB, a statement received by The Christian Post explains that 30 staff members have been presented with the option to continue their employment until the office’s closure in April.
“These are some of the kindest servants and leaders in the Richmond office,” IMB President David Platt said in the statement. “IMB is indebted to them on many levels. In the days to come, we want to express our honor and appreciation for the countless ways these brothers and sisters have served Christ through the IMB.”
Last August, IMB announced that it would have to cut between 600 and 800 staff members in order to balance its budget.
It was also announced in August that IMB leaders would begin the process of re-evaluating structures and systems so that IMB could be “the best possible stewards of the resources that churches have entrusted to IMB to get the Gospel to nations.”
The decision to completely eliminate the Richmond communications office, which is responsible for producing news, feature stories, photos and videos of IMB’s efforts across the globe, came as a result of the evaluation period. Despite the office’s closure, IMB will still manage to produce media content.
The closure of the Richmond office does not affect any missionary positions, although the statement also explained that IMB has launched a “Hand Raising Opportunity.” The initiative calls on missionaries and other stateside staff to voluntarily transition to missions opportunities outside of IMB “if they believe God is leading them to a new place of involvement in mission.”
“While most will remain in their current roles, some may redeploy,” Platt said. “I use that term ‘redeploy’ intentionally because no one is stepping onto the sidelines of mission in this process. These decisions are more about what place, role, responsibility or assignment people have in the mission of God.”
Missionaries and staff who choose to redeploy outside of IMB must make their resignation decisions by Feb. 22.
“First, on a biblical and theological level, IMB missionaries must each resolve to do all of our work around the world in glad, wholehearted alignment with the Baptist Faith and Message adopted by the 40,000 churches we represent,” Platt explained. “Second, along these lines, those 40,000 churches expect each of us individually and all of us collectively to work diligently and wisely for the spread of the Gospel around the world. In other words, they expect all of us to give the right effort that this mission requires, and this means we must hold one another to a high bar when it comes to our work.”
To guard the integrity of the process and to avoid IMB swaying their employees’ decisions, Platt encouraged missionaries and staff members to seek guidance from God.
“These next two months put a responsibility in each one of our laps to seek the Lord concerning His will for our lives,” Platt said.
IMB launched the first phase of its organizational reset in August when it initiated a “voluntary retirement incentive” for employees aged 50 and older.
The news release adds that IMB leaders indicated in November that upon the results of the retirement incentive and the estimated results of the “Hand Raising Opportunity,” the two initiatives are projected to “meet” the organization’s need to reduce staff by 600 people.
Official statistics regarding how many employees have volunteered to transition outside of IBM or take part in the retirement incentive will be made public at the end of February.
Although there was as many as 5,600 missionaries and employees representing IMB in the missions field in 2009, Platt said in August that IMB expects to have at least 4,200 employees in the field following the re-organizational effort.

(Photo: Reuters/Mike Theiler)Christian Post Report – The Reverend Michael Bruce Curry (L) makes remarks as members of the clergy attend prior to his Installation ceremony at the Washington National Cathedral, in Washington, November 1, 2015.
The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church has declared that the denomination will not cease its support for gay marriage despite its three-year suspension by the Anglican Communion last week.
“They heard from me directly that that’s not something that we’re considering,” Bishop Michael Curry told The Associated Press on Friday, talking about the sanctions imposed on the denomination after its leaders refused support the biblical definition of marriage. “They basically understand we made our decision, and this is who we are, and we’re committed to being a house of prayer for all.”
At the same time, however, Curry said he wants to continue working toward Anglican unity despite the different points of view on the divisive issue.
“We are loyal members of the Anglican Communion, but we need to say we must find a better way,” Curry said. “I really believe it’s part of our vocation.”
(Photo: Reuters/Toby Melville)The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby (L) speaks with protestors in the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, southern Britain January 15, 2016. The Anglican Church has slapped sanctions on its liberal U.S. branch for supporting same-sex marriage, a move that averted a formal schism in the world’s third largest Christian denomination but left deep divisions unresolved. The Anglican communion, which counts some 85 million members in 165 countries, has been in crisis since 2003 because of arguments over sexuality and gender between liberal churches in the West and their conservative counterparts, mostly in Africa.Leaders representing the worldwide Anglican body announced on Thursday that they are suspending The Episcopal Church, due to its vote in 2015 to authorize same-sex marriage ceremonies in church.
The Primates explained their decision in a statement: “The traditional doctrine of the Church in view of the teaching of Scripture, upholds marriage as between a man and a woman in faithful, lifelong union. The majority of those gathered reaffirm this teaching.
“Recent developments in The Episcopal Church with respect to a change in their Canon on marriage represent a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching held by the majority of our provinces on the doctrine of marriage. Possible developments in other provinces could further exacerbate this situation,” they added.
Curry admitted in a video statement on Friday that the outcome of the meeting was not expected, and said that the Episcopal Church is disappointed — though reminded viewers that the Anglican Communion is more a “network of relationships” than a system of structure and organization.
“The truth is, it may be part of our vocation to help the communion and to help many others to grow in a direction where we can realize and live the love that God has for all of us, and we can one day be a Church and a communion where all of God’s children are fully welcomed, where this is truly a house of prayer for all people,” Curry added in the statement.
Archbishop Justin Welby, the leader of the Anglican Communion, said that Episcopalians can “no longer represent us on ecumenical and interfaith bodies,” however, and said that the Church will no longer be able to vote or fully participate in Anglican committees.
Welby insisted that despite the suspension, Anglicans remain committed to battling “homophobic prejudice and violence.”
“For me, it is a constant source of deep sadness that people are persecuted for their sexuality,” Welby said at end of the meeting last week.
He expressed “how sorry I am for the hurt and pain in the past and present that the church has caused and the love sometimes that we have completely failed to show.”
A leading source of discontent against the Episcopal Church were African and Asian bishops who said that moving away from the traditional definition of marriage was unacceptable and previously threatened to walk out of the meeting if their concerns were not heard.

“It is confirmed,” his wife Naghmehannounced on Twitter. “Saeed is released from Iranian prison.”
“This has been an answer to prayer,” she said in a press release from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), one of Abedini’s leading advocates. “This is a critical time for me and my family. We look forward to Saeed’s return and want to thank the millions of people who have stood with us in prayer during this most difficult time.”
More than 1.1 million people had joined ACLJ’s “Save Saeed” campaign. President Obama personally told Naghmeh last year that freeing her husband was “a top priority.” This past October, shewrote to the president in The Washington Postthat it was “past time” to bring him (and the other hostages) home. “Thankfully I do not put my trust in governments or the rulers of nations,” she wrote. “Instead I put my trust in God.”
Supporters flocked to Naghmeh’s Facebook post confirming the good news, which she received after nearly two weeks of Daniel-inspired prayer and fasting for his release.
“I don’t know what I was expecting, but I felt the Lord saying, ‘Let it go—don’t touch the situation with Saeed, and I will take care of it,’” said Naghmeh in an interview with Morning Star News. “So I let go. I stopped my travels. I stopped speaking. Interestingly enough, it happened when I let it go.”
The exchange happened on the same day that America observes Religious Freedom Day, though the timing was related to ongoing diplomacy surrounding Iran’s nuclear program. (The US observed International Religious Freedom Day back in October.)
As CT previously reported, the now 35-year-old Abedini made frequent trips to Iran. A convert from Islam to Christianity, he had been warned by the Muslim nation against his involvement with house churches.
So in 2012, he returned instead to continue building a government-approved orphanage. While there, Abedini was pulled off a bus, charged with undermining national security, andsentenced to eight years in prison.
The sentence has resulted in torture and beatings and pressure to recant for Abedini, whose wife and two children live in Boise, Idaho. His release had been requested by Billy Graham, theWhite House, President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and the United Nations.
“We’re delighted this day has finally arrived,” stated Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ. “Pastor Saeed should never been imprisoned in the first place. … We’re grateful for the millions of people who have stood with us in our ongoing efforts—both in this country and abroad—to secure his release. We have worked and prayed that this day would finally arrive. And now, Pastor Saeed can return home.”
The Southern Baptist Convention awarded Abedini the 2014 Richard Land Distinguished Service Award for his “exemplary service and faithfulness to the kingdom of God.”
“We are grateful for the release of Pastor Saeed,” stated the ERLC’s Russell Moore. “The prayers of the Body of Christ all over the world have been answered. This day of celebration should remind us to pray and work all the more for the multitudes still persecuted for their faith all over the world, including in Iran. We hope and long for the day when Iran, and nations like it, are free from those who wish to enslave the conscience at the point of a sword.” … read more
(Photo: Reuters/Sergei Gunyeev/Ria Novosti/Kremlin/Files)Christian Post Report – Russia’s President Vladimir Putin (L) and Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill arrive for the meeting with Russian Orthodox church bishops in Moscow, February 1, 2013. As troops loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin were seizing control of Crimea, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow deduced that an “internal political crisis” in Ukraine was threatening its territorial integrity.
Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has claimed that one of the reasons so many Muslims are joining the Islamic State is because they want to escape the world’s “godless” embrace of homosexuality.
The Independent translated Kirill’s comments, noting that they were made earlier in January and posted on the Church’s official website.
In the interview, Kirill says: “[ISIS] is creating a civilization that is new by comparison to the established one that is godless, secular and even radical in its secularism,” he said.
“We can have parades for the sexual minorities — that is supported — but a million French Christian protestors defending family values are broken up by police,” he added, referring to LGBT-issue marches in Europe.
Kirill further asserted that the “godless civilization is reaching maturity,” and said that enforced liberalism is prompting some young people to join extremist factions.
“If you call non-traditional relationships a sin, as the Bible teaches and you are a priest or pastor, then you risk not only your ability to serve but you may be sent to prison,” he continued.
“I could offer more simply frightening examples of how the godless civilization is growing yet here they are drawing attention to young people being converted by extremists,” the Russian Orthodox leader said.
“Look how they [the West] build the world — an unholy world — but we invite you to build God’s world. … And they [ISIS supporters] respond to that; it is for this they give their lives,” he added.
The government of President Vladimir Putin, who Kirill is a strong supporter of, has sought to clamp down on what it sees as dangerous LGBT activism in the country.
The Washington Post reported last week that lawmakers are considering enacting a ban on all public displays of affection among gay people, which could lead to a fine or a two-week jail sentence for things such as couples kissing or holding hands.
Putin and other senior officials have blamed “nontraditional sexual relations” for a corrupting influence on Russian morals. Previous bans include a controversial 2013 law that sought to shut down LGBT propaganda in the form of public speeches to children that compares gay lifestyles to straight ones.
The Post noted that the Russian government regularly proposes controversial draft laws that do not end up becoming law, and it remains to be seen whether the latest effort will be successful.
Russia meanwhile continues its campaign in Syria against Islamic State terror targets, which the Russian Orthodox Church has called a “holy battle.”
“The fight with terrorism is a holy battle and today our country is perhaps the most active force in the world fighting it,” Vsevolod Chaplin, head of the Church’s public affairs department, said in October 2015 at the start of airstrike operations.

(Photo: Reuters/Stringer)Christian Post Report – Militant Islamist fighters wave flags as they take part in a military parade along the streets of Syria’s northern Raqqa province June 30, 2014. The fighters held the parade to celebrate their declaration of an Islamic “caliphate” after the group captured territory in neighboring Iraq, a monitoring service said. The Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot previously known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, posted pictures online on Sunday of people waving black flags from cars and holding guns in the air, the SITE monitoring service said.
The Islamic State terror group has massacred nearly 300 people, most of them women, children and the elderly, in a day-long attack on the town of Deir el-Zour in Syria.
The government-run SANA news agency revealed in a report on Sunday that the shootings and beheadings were among the worst carried out by the terrorist organization, which continues to hold significant territory across the country.
Watchdog groups, such as the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, have confirmed the massacre, noting that IS controls most of the province, and has been battling with government forces for control of the provincial capital of the same name.
BBC News noted that there have been conflicting reports on how many people have actually been killed, however, with SOHR putting the number of casualties at around 135, while SANA insists it is closer to 300.
SOHR has also suggested that as many as 400 family members of pro-government fighters have been kidnapped by the terror group, but an activist on the ground in an area of farms told BBC he didn’t see kidnappings at such a large scale being carried out.
“Around 20 were arrested and some killed, he said. Some families were rounded up by IS and taken away to another area,” BBC noted.
“However, this was not on anything like the scale suggested by the Observatory of 400 family members being abducted.”
The almost five-year civil war in Syria has killed close to 250,000 people, and peace efforts have failed despite continued efforts by Western powers to bring about a ceasefire. President Bashar al-Assad’s army is fighting both IS and various other rebel groups that want to bring down his administration, and has been heavily backed by the Russian government of President Vladimir Putin.
The United States and other Western powers have launched airstrike operations in Syria against IS, but at the same time also remain highly critical of Assad, due to the human rights abuses all sides in the conflict have been accused by SOHR and the U.N. of carrying out.
The humanitarian crisis in the war-torn country has reached horrific conditions in some areas, such as the besieged towns of Madaya, Foah and Kefraya. The International Committee of the Red Cross revealed earlier in January that mass starvation is causing people to start eating dogs, cats and grass, with relief groups being cut off from the area due to the fighting and the onset of winter.
“People were living there without basic supplies. Now the situation is even more dire,” ICRC spokesman Pawel Krzysiek said of Madaya.
“The winter obviously makes things worse, with people desperately trying to get what they can to power their stoves — including burning plastic, which results in respiratory problems,” he added.
The U.N. has warned that as many as 400,000 people across the country are living in towns that are under siege and need help.

Without warning, Lecrae is surprising fans with new music.
It may not be the new album people have been waiting for, but the 36-year-old rapper is releasing new material for the first time since the 2014 release of his critically acclaimed studio album “Anomaly.” The Grammy Award winning Christian rapper took to social media to announce that he would release the third and last installment of his Church Clothes mixtape series that previously garnered millions of downloads on streaming websites and iTunes.
“I heard some requests for #CC3. Now on Apple Music,” Lecrae wrote on Facebook. “Mixtape Madness. #CC3 should hold you over til ‘______’ drops.”
The rapper’s new project, “Church Clothes 3,” features fellow artists E-40, N’Dambi, Propaganda, John Givez, JGivens, Jackie Hill Perry and his fellow Reach Records rapper KB. In conjunction with the “Church Clothes 3” EP produced by S1 (Kanye West, Jay Z), the rapper has introduced a short film with the same name that features four songs from the new mixtape, “It Is What It Is,” “Gangland,” “Déjà Vu” and “Misconceptions 3.”
Aside from the “Church Clothes” mixtape and visuals, Lecrae is also trying to reach his young fans this year by embarking on a college tour. The “Higher Learning” tour will travel to 30 college campuses around the country, giving the rapper an opportunity to inspire young minds.
“This tour allows me to be involved and inspire some of the most impactful and influential leaders of tomorrow,” said Lecrae in a statement obtained by CP. “College is where many of the world-changing thoughts and ideas are birthed. I want my music and my message to help inspire those ideas.”
While he still plans to release his first album in two years, the musician has yet another project in the works before he divulges more information about an official studio release. Lecrae is releasing his first book on May 3 called “Unashamed.”
The memoir will give people a glimpse into the life of Lecrae’s tumultuous journey into his faith.
“Two-time Grammy winning rap artist, Lecrae, learned this lesson through more than his share of adversity—childhood abuse, drugs and alcoholism, a stint in rehab, an abortion, and an unsuccessful suicide attempt,” a description of the book states. “The rap artist holds nothing back as he divulges the most sensitive details of his life, answers his critics, shares intimate handwritten journal entries, and powerfully models how to be Christian in a secular age.”
The rapper previously spoke about his inspiration for the book in a statement shared with The Christian Post last year.
“I am writing Unashamed for all those who don’t know who they are, who feel confined by the labels given to them,” said Lecrae.”As an artist my ambition is to make honest music, and I feel the same way about writing this book,”

(Photo: Reuters/Toby Melville)Christian Post Report – St. Mary’s Church at Woburn in southern England, May 15, 2015.
Several British parliament members are speaking out against government-proposed inspections that they fear would force Christian Sunday schools to censor their teaching of Christian values, such as traditional marriage.
Four Christian members of parliament sent a letter to The Telegraph warning that newly-proposed Ofsted inspections could pose a problem for Sunday schools and other out-of-school groups that teach religious values.
The inspections were recently proposed by Britain’s Department of Education after Prime Minister David Cameron warned that some out-of-school programs for Muslim children may teach extremist ideology.
The four MP’s who wrote the letter to The Telegraph, including Sir Gerald Howarth, Gary Streeter, David Burrowes and Fiona Bruce, argue that the inspections “could have a seriously detrimental effect on the freedom of religious organisations.”
The letter adds that Christian groups in the country fear that the Ofsted inspections may “[impose] sanctions for the expression of traditional views on matters such as marriage — views which, until very recently, were considered mainstream in Britain.”
“This would be an intolerable but very real possibility given the clear desire of the Department for Education to investigate what it calls ‘prohibitive activities,’ such as ‘undesirable teaching … which undermines or is incompatible with fundamental British values.’ This could challenge established Christian teaching,” the letter continues.
The four conservative MP’s then add that the proposed inspections should focus only on “certain strains of Islam,” adding that for the Department of Education to investigate all religious groups would be operating under the false pretense that “radicalization could be discovered in any organization.”
The letter to The Telegraph comes after numerous Christian groups voiced their concern over the proposed inspections.
The Christian Institute recently sent a letter to the Department of Education arguing that the inspections should “focus on areas and groups where there is a risk of violent radicalization,” rather than all religious groups.
The Department of Education has defended the inspections, telling The Telegraph that the new regulations will likely not target Sunday Schools.
“The Government is not proposing to regulate institutions teaching children for a short period every week, such as Sunday schools,” a spokesman for the department said.
“We are looking specifically at places where children receive intensive education, to ensure that the children there are in a safe environment, which does not subject them to intolerant and hateful views,” the spokesperson added.
