Wishing you a happy Saturday and a great weekend so far, to our brothers and sisters around the world.
Thanks so much to everyone who has reached out with prayers and messages of support for us and our brothers Kristofer, Jatinder, and Sukh over the last week during their trial. It’s been a very intense and stressful time for them, their families and loved ones but also a time of a lot of growth and blessing thanks to our Lord.
As before, we will share more information on this and other developments as soon as we can and we’re eagerly anticipating when we can share more with you soon.

2. Daily question to the BBC and legacy media..
Our question today for the BBC and other legacy media concerns their role in shaping truth — or, more precisely, in distorting it. How is it that media institutions can publish or broadcast stories that are unverified, misleading, or even outright false, without bearing any meaningful accountability for the harm they cause?
Whether it’s an ordinary person or a public person, being thrust into public scrutiny on false grounds can be utterly devastating. It paints targets on people’s backs, opens them up to harassment, and when the story is false, it can completely destroy their lives.
There was a time when slander and libel were treated as serious offences — not only legally, but morally. Now, somehow, it’s not. Why not? When did that change? What happened in our culture that made it acceptable to publicly destroy someone’s reputation without consequence? And why do those within these institutions think it’s okay — walking away without accountability, without damages, even when their lies lead to real harm or tragedy?
Biblically, slander is deplorable. Yet the media not only participates in slander but teaches the culture, through constant example, that it is permissible — even praiseworthy — to speak falsely about others. This erosion of truth has moral and spiritual consequences for society as a whole. Speaking falsely about someone to ruin their name or their life should be treated as one of the gravest offenses, not brushed off as “just the news.”
So now to our questions for the BBC and the legacy media:
You’ve taught a generation that truth is flexible and reputation expendable. Do you see the damage — not just to lives, but to the moral fabric of society?
Slander is not just unethical; it is criminal — if not by man’s law, then by the law of conscience and of God. Would you not agree that returning to this standard would be better for society as a whole? And if not — why not?
3. Closing Comments
The times we are in are vicious, dark and full of deception. We have to cling to truth, prayer and repentance in our Lord like it’s all we have, because in many ways, it is.
Mercifully, we are never alone and the more we come together in unity as the Body of Christ, the stronger we are against the enemy. We will share more updates with you very soon. Once again thank you for your patience.
God Bless you..
