För första gången sedan 2017 är Syrien tillbaka på topp tio på World Watch List. Detta efter stor ökning av våldet mot kristna i landet. Listan visar även att det mycket allvarliga våldet mot kristna i Afrika söder om Sahara fortfarande är ett stort problem, inte minst när det gäller Nigeria.
For the first time since 2017, Syria is back in the top ten of the World Watch List. This follows a sharp increase in violence against Christians in the country. The list also shows that the very severe violence against Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa remains a major problem, not least in Nigeria.
When we heard the Holy Spirit say to us He wants us to go to Myanmar, we did not know anything about the country. Only where it was on the map. Then, a few weeks before we left, we found out about the civil war that has been going on for decades, but has exploded the most in February 2021. Surprisingly, that information did not create any fear or doubt in us - we knew this was where God wanted us, so we were not worried.
In the small town of Milovice, about thirty minutes outside Prague, we encounter the thriving congregation Jesus House. In February, I finally had the opportunity to visit this remarkable place.
The bustle of people meets you immediately at the airport. The many sounds—sometimes deafeningly loud—can be heard from every direction during the drive from the airport to our accommodation. The smells, the colors, everything all at once. The contrast to our quiet street back home in Sweden could not be greater. And yet, it feels so much like home.
Every year, we send out mission teams from our Bible school in Uppsala to serve, learn, and partner with local churches around the world. These teams are not just traveling—they are stepping into God’s global mission, carrying the Gospel with humility, faith, and a willingness to learn.
