Chen leaves US. Embassy but doubts remain why

ChinaAid said there’s more to the story regarding Christian human rights activist Chen Guangcheng’s decision to leave the U.S. Embassy’s diplomatic protection today on “his own volition.” ChinaAid has received reports from reliable sources that Chen’s decision to leave the U.S. Embassy was done reluctantly because “serious threats to his immediate family members were made by the Chinese government” if Chen refuses to accept the Chinese government’s offer.

Living Waters announces first 180 baby

Just got an email from Living Waters. They're the folks that put out the 180 video. "A young lady wrote to us last week and said that last year she was listening to Tony Miano preach the gospel open-air, when someone gave her a “180” DVD. She was secretly pregnant and was considering an abortion, but after watching it she decided to keep her baby. David is our first “180 baby.” We filmed Vanessa and should have it available soon."

Two planes dedicated for Mission Aviation Fellowship’s service in Indonesia

NAMPA, Idaho (WordNews.org) March 21, 2012  — Mission Aviation Fellowship dedicated two new Kodiak planes worth a total of $3.4 million for service in remote areas of Indonesia.
The planes were donated anonymously. “I know the excitement the sounod of these planes will generate in places with names like Kiwi, Bomela, Langda, and Koropun,” said Dave Rask, MAF’s director of Aviation Resources. “These are places that have never seen a car. Places so remote that the only way to reach them is a long trek through the jungle, or by plane. In these areas, the missionaries, the medicines, books, Bibles … even the nails for the buildings and the aluminum for the roofs are delivered by MAF.”
