'The delivery systems are coming at the same time there's so many people to deliver the Good News of Jesus to'
International (MNN) ― With Resurrection Sunday around the corner, what keeps you from taking part in Christ's last command?
In Matthew 28:16-20, right before Jesus ascended into heaven, He told his apostles to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
It's known today as the Great Commission.
"That was spoken at a time when there were about 200 million people on Planet Earth. Today, there are 7 billion," says Ron Hutchcraft of Ron Hutchcraft Ministries.

Earlier this month, 11-year-old Grace Evans appeared before a panel of Minnesota lawmakers considering a redefinition of marriage in that state. She testified to the significance of her mother and father and the different contributions each makes to her life.

High school prom can be an expensive endeavor for students and their parents, but some churches are trying to ease the financial burden by offering free gowns while also addressing some of the spiritual needs of the girls they are seeking to help.
Carol Crockett is one of the founders of Priceless Gowns, a ministry of First Baptist Church of Conroe, Texas, which had its sixth annual prom gown giveaway this past weekend. The ministry made approximately 580 dresses available for girls to choose from this year, and most of them were donated by individuals and local businesses."Our church has a huge atrium, and we transform it into a boutique," Crockett told The Christian Post on Tuesday. "And each girl is assigned a personal shopper that goes around with them, and they build a relationship."

CDC: 110,197,000 Venereal Infections in U.S.; Nation Creating New STIs Faster Than New Jobs or College Grads
(CNSNews.com) - According to new data
released by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
there were 19.7 million new venereal infections in the United States in
2008, bringing the total number of existing sexually transmitted
infections (STIs) in the U.S. at that time to 110,197,000.
The 19.7 million new STIs in 2008 vastly outpaced the new jobs and college graduates created in the United States that year or any other year on record, according to government data. The competition was not close.
The STI study referenced by the CDC estimated that 50 percent of the new infections in 2008 occurred among people in the 15-to-24 age bracket. In fact, of the 19,738,800 total new STIs in the United States in 2008, 9,782,650 were among Americans in the 15-to-24 age bracket.

'People turned on Christians': Persecuted Iraqi minority reflects on life after Saddam
LONDON
-- Rana stepped out of church in Baghdad in December 2006 to find an
envelope wedged against her car windshield. Inside was a bullet -- a
message that meant she and her family were next on an assassin’s list.
They fled the city the next day, leaving behind a business, a home -- everything.
"I didn't like Saddam Hussein, but he didn't bother the Christians," said Rana, 29, after a church service in London. "He was a dictator. When he went, the gangs came from everywhere."
