When Joni and Friends first approached me about being an online missionary, I was skeptical. Me in evangelism ministry? It's not my gift. But I was at a point in my ministry where I'd try just about anything to get out of a funk.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI (ANS) -- Mission Aviation Fellowship has ministered in Haiti since 1986. It knows Haiti's geography, language and culture. MAF was present during the January 12 earthquake.

Following the quake, MAF coordinated transportation for hundreds of aid workers and tons of cargo.

While MAF has been ministering in Haiti since 1986, it is currently at the center of disaster relief efforts and is now coordinating rebuilding efforts with other ministries, NGOs and the U.N.

The recent six-month anniversary of the catastrophic 7.0 earthquake has brought Haiti back into to the news again.

But much of the post-quake information -- both negative and positive -- has been overlooked by the mainstream media.

Mission Aviation Fellowship and its president, are in a unique position to provide accurate, insightful updates on the Haiti situation like few other organizations, says a media release from the ministry .

The release says there are many compelling reasons why the American public should continue to support the Haiti rebuilding effort.

Among insights Boyd and the MAF ministry at large can expand on are:

LONDON, ENGLAND (ANS) -- Celebration for the Nations, which is a gathering of worshippers in Wales from the nations touched by the 1904 Welsh Revival, including intercessors from South Korea, is partnering with Global Day of Prayer London to launch 500 days of prayer for the nation.

At the Celebration for the Nations event August 1st, 7pm at Emmanuel Evangelical Church in Westminster, GDOP London will call on Christians from across the nation to join this 500 day prayer chain in the lead up to a national day of prayer at Wembley Stadium September 2011.

GDOP London Convener Jonathan Oloyede

"We are excited that the praying community of the South Koreans have created a platform for us to launch this 500 days of prayer," said GDOP London Convener Jonathan Oloyede.

He added: "That connection of Africans and British and Caribbean and South Korean intercessors coming together is prophetically exciting and culturally very powerful. We can't overemphasise the sense of unity with cultures from all around the world and the Commonwealth coming together for such a time as this.

"August 1st will see the beginning of a chain of non-stop 24 hour prayers of believers from every walk of life coming together in unity for the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in these Isles."
 

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (ANS) -- Hebrew University has announced today (Monday, July 26, 2010) the discovery of a law code written on fragments of cuneiform tablets dating to the 17th or 18th century BC.

The code was written in Akkadian and refers to issues of personal injury law relating to slaves and masters similar to the famous Babylonian Hammurabi Code of the 18th century BC. Hammurabi's Code, a set of ancient laws, created in 1790 BC in ancient Babylon and enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, consists of 282 laws.

In the Hazor code, the laws also reflect Biblical principles such as "a tooth for tooth," the researchers said. Prof. Wayne Horowitz of the Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology said that so far, words such as "master," "slave," and possibly the word for "tooth," have been deciphered.
