<i><br /></i>Our church has just released a video on a very sad and tragic situation that we have discovered. <i>Voice of the Martyrs</i> is a ministry that purports to help Christian victims of persecution. However, we've discovered that their work in Nigeria was in a tragic state – orphans were being abused and mistreated, financial fraud was rampant, and those who were trying to spread the word were being removed. When we reported this to the office in the United States, they seemed more concerned with covering up a scandal than ensuring that justice was done.<br />
<br />
Please visit <a href="http://persecutingthepersecuted.com/">this web page</a> to watch a video that describes the situation, <a href="http://change.org/p/jim-dau-president-of-vom-usa-investigate-why-voice-of-the-martyrs-enabled-the-abuse-of-nigerian-orphans">sign the petition</a>, and spread the word.<br />

When a blizzard drops a whopping 2" of snow in North Carolina, many of us hunker down with a good supply of milk, bread and eggs. Some of us dig out some 30 year old skis, crank up the Jeep, and spend the afternoon tumbling up and down the road.Joshua Hornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01547641104849919219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37066288.post-59353345817117436172016-11-19T13:30:00.001-05:002016-11-19T13:30:38.151-05:00Announcing Joshua Edward Horn, II<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He was a bit of a surprise, since he arrived 2 1/2 weeks ahead of his due date. Both little Joshua and his amazing mother are doing well, praise be to God.<br />

I'm very happy to announce that last Saturday, Andrea Noah and I got engaged. Our courtship over the last four months has been an amazing experience. We look forward to many years of joyful service to God together. Praise the Lord, for he has blessed me with far more than I could ever deserve!
