New congregation begun in Ireland via Internet

SLIGO, Ireland (BNc) - On Lord’s day May 22, a new congregation began meeting in Sligo, Ireland.

After James Warnock (right) baptized Keith Scanlon and Laura Hayes into Christ on May 22, 2011, they met together to break bread in memory of the Lord for the first time.

The story began many years ago when, as a boy, James Warnock was beaten by his teacher (it was allowed then). What had he done? He had refused to kiss the Bishop’s ring! When the Catholic Bishop visited the schools, all the pupils had to file up and kiss the Bishop’s ring. James refused. Read more

“You Are Not Forgotten!”

by Mark A. Rehl, President of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 55, Licking County, Ohio

(BNc) — This is the motto that motivates a never-ending mission to find America’s military that remain missing during combat. These are the words that offer comfort to families struggling with decades of silence and the anxiety that burdens them regarding their loved one’s end.

“Fill a box. Touch a child.”

by Lisa Carter

PANAMA CITY, Panama (BNc) — That was Larry Brady’s dream many years ago when he started sending wrapped Christmas gifts to some of the poorest children in Panama.  Today that dream has grown into over 7000 gifts!  This year they were given to children in the two largest children’s hospitals in Panama City, at a rehabilitation center, schools, churches, rural communities, and villages of indigenous people.

Sara Bills in Montgomery, Alabama, co-ordinates this enormous, year-long project.  Hundreds of individuals around the country help package gifts for children of all ages, sew adorable dresses, fill diaper bags with baby needs, pin shorts and t-shirts together for little boys, box the gifts when they arrive in Alabama, and send them to Panama in a shipping container.

Name withheld by request

SAIGON, Vietnam (BNc) – A missionary in Asia recounts a recent Sunday when the church in the capital of Vietnam was hassled by police.

The Lord’s church had been given legal recognition one year ago, but when we entered the small meeting place in downtown Saigon, Oct. 31, a uniformed policeman and court recorder were interrogating one of our brothers.

A teenage boy met us and said, “Everything is OK, just go upstairs.” But when we got inside others told us the police had been showing up every Sunday for the last month trying to extract bribes from the church and scare people away from the meetings. Read more
