A new international Christmas Eve livestream led by evangelist Nick Hall is expected to reach millions of Russian and Spanish speakers with the Gospel.
While Hall’s millennial-focused evangelism group PULSE had hosted live Christmas events in the United States over the past decade, COVID-19 forced him to change plans and instead use the budget for two free international broadcasts in Russian and Spanish.
“We hope for 5 million or more people who will watch the broadcast,” Hall told The Christian Post. “In the midst of a crazy 2020, we really just felt like this was such a great opportunity to tell the story of Christmas in the right way.”

When radical Islamists murder Christians in Nigeria, the government lists their deaths as having other causes, according to new report released by Nigeria’sInternational Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law.
The newly-released report indicates that deaths which the Nigerian government describes as random banditry or inter-tribal violence, actually result from radical Islamists attacking Christians, said Intersociety leader and founder Emeka Umeagbalasi.
Since 2009, 34,400 Christians have been murdered by radical Islamists, with 2,200 slain in the last year, the report says. Radical Muslims have also killed an estimated 20,000 moderate Muslims.

Tens of thousands of house church pastors and evangelists across China have gone into hiding as the Communist Party prepares for what seems like a final assault on Christianity in an attempt to eradicate it from the country, according to missions group Asia Harvest.
In its final newsletter for 2020, Asia Harvest said pastors have disconnected from their phones and computers so that government authorities can no longer use those devices to track their movements. These pastors have also reportedly destroyed the microchips inside their ID cards so authorities cannot track their locations using those devices either.
