‘God Is Working’ In California: 2,000 People Baptised Following Greg Laurie’s Harvest Crusade
(Harbingers Daily )Two thousand people were baptized at a mass baptism in Southern California on July 27.
A week after Harvest Christian Fellowship’s annual Harvest Crusade, which drew 50,000 to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California—with 200,000 more tuning in online—Harvest hosted the second annual “Jesus Revolution Baptism” at Pirate’s Cove Beach in Corona Del Mar. Sixty-five pastors, elders and deacons helped with the baptism.
“One year ago,” Harvest pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie wrote, “we baptized 4,500 people; I didn’t think 2,000 more would come to be baptized this time.”
“And where is this happening?” he continued. “It’s happening in California! So many people are so quick to write our state off. They can’t get out of here fast enough, but I see that God is working.”
Horrifying: A 'Transgender' Athlete Left a Female Volleyball Player Partially Paralyzed
(Townhall) A volleyball player who was left partially paralyzed after competing against a so-called “transgender” athlete has broken her silence.
Payton McNabb was 17 years old when a male athlete who thinks he’s a woman spiked a volleyball in her face so hard that she lost consciousness. She told Daily Mail that the man “cackled in delight,” as did his teammates, when she was injured. Townhall reported this incident when it occurred.
McNabb was left with brain damage and paralysis on the right side of her body. She gave up on her dream of going to college on a volleyball scholarship, and now faces difficulty walking.
All this, because a community of parents and school staff allowed a male athlete to play on a women’s team in the name of “inclusivity” and “fairness.” While the "transgender" athlete who injured her is off living his life, McNabb struggles day-to-day with the injuries she sustained from this one high school game.
Simone Biles’ Life Proves Exactly Why ‘Suffering’ Should Never Decide If A Baby Lives Or Dies
(Federalist) Simone Biles made history again this week at the 2024 Paris Olympics when she became the most decorated American gymnast ever. The 27-year-old’s record-breaking success on and off the mat, however, can’t simply be chalked up to talent and training but the pro-life path her family took to give her the best upbringing she could have.
Long before she became a globally celebrated champion, Biles was a neglected child who, after three years of enduring her biological mother’s drug and alcohol abuse, was transferred into the foster care system.
