What Comes Next? Join us at this week’s events

By: Chris Johnson

Where Islam has influence, Christians inevitably suffer. From burning churches and mass graves in Nigeria, to riots in the streets – and burning churches – in France and Spain, to the rape gangs in the UK.

After yesterday’s elections, we would do well to be informed and prepared for what it means to give political power to radicals.

As we witness the increase of Marxism and Islamism both in America’s government and in its populace, one must be aware that the persecution of Christians in America and the destruction of Western civilization is a crisis we will not avoid, but by the grace of God. It’s taking place in other countries; are we ready for it on our own shores?

This Thursday and Friday, ADA is hosting two events, one in Fremont at our building on Thursday, November 5 at 6:30 PM and one on Friday, November 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 at GR Church in Grand Rapids.

These events will feature the perspectives and expertise of speakers who are all-too-informed on the issue of Islam and its persecution of Christians

Dede Laugesen has dedicated her life to stand for persecuted Christians, while also working to oppose the threat of Islamism. She will discuss the spiritual warfare Christians are facing in Nigeria and around the world. She also exposes the Red-Green Alliance – the convergence of far-left Marxist ideology and Islamism – as a single force targeting Christians worldwide. That same alliance is now propagandizing Western youth to accept communism and Islam while eroding the foundations of Western civilization.

We will hear from Dede in both Fremont and Grand Rapids.

The Baynes will appear with Dede at our Grand Rapids event.

Phil and Sherry Bayne will also share their personal interactions regarding the horrific persecution Nigerian Christians face at the hand of their Islamic countrymen, as well as sharing Nigerian Christians’ incredible response.  How would we react in the face of such persecution?  As our brothers and sisters in Christ suffer, God calls His people to remember them and pray for them. Come — Learn — Pray.

We would love to see you at either one – or both! – of these events this Thursday at our offices in Fremont at 6:30 PM and Friday from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at GR Church in Grand Rapids.
