Julia Sebutinde from Uganda is taking over the temporary presidency of the 15-judge United Nations court based in The Hague (Netherlands). She had served as International Court of Justice (ICJ) vice-president for the past year, after a long tenure at the court since she was first elected in 2012 and re-elected in 2021.

Sebutinde takes over from Nawaf Salam, who stepped down to become Lebanon’s new prime minister. Sebutinde is an evangelical Christian. Her ties with the Ugandan evangelical community are strong.

She came to prominence when she was the only one of the 15 judges to express a dissenting opinion in the South Africa v. Israel “genocide” case that began in February 2024. In her 11-page argument, Judge Sebutinde said that “Hamas bears at least partial responsibility for the welfare of Palestinians”, and called for “diplomatic, not legal solutions” to the conflict.

Christianity around the world: Mexico

The Catholic Church has been a cornerstone of Mexican identity since the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. Today, it remains a powerful social and cultural force, although it faces challenges from secularisation and alternative spiritualities. As Catholicism has shown decline, the Protestant communities – Pentecostalism, in particular – are recording the strongest growth ever observed. In a country with a strong Catholic tradition, one in every ten Mexicans is now Protestant. This is a first in the history of Mexico. The Evangelical Church is growing and stands in great need of discipleship, sound Biblical doctrine, and strong Christian leadership.

Standing firm

As we rapidly approach the end of the church age, the spiritual battle we are engaged in appears to be growing in intensity. As any soldier would tell you, the fiercer the fight, the quicker they become exhausted. With that in mind, many Christians I speak with all make the same comment – they cannot wait to get home because they are all exhausted. Trust me, I feel the same! But, until that glorious day, allow me to encourage you to keep up the fight as good soldiers of Christ. After all, without encouragement and hope, many view suffering as meaningless. However, because of our position in Christ, we may be resolute. A little saying I like to use is this: we can face the opposition when we are resolute in our position. When speaking about fighting the good fight, I often like to use four simple words: duty, discipline, detachment, and desire.

Under His wings - A testimony of faith & provision

Crash! A tree had fallen! We rushed outside to investigate and found them staring at us with four pitch-black eyes. Two owlets – African wood owls. One survived, the other did not. And so, the journey began with our proud adoption of the survivor, whom we named Cinnamon. Trust our incredible Creator to even speak through a spice.

How to cope with rejection for the Gospel

Nobody likes rejection. Nobody likes being excluded or put out. That’s because God created us to be social people, with families, friends, co-workers, and teammates. That’s why it feels good to be appreciated, to be accepted, to be valued, to be honoured, to be respected. In sharp contrast, rejection stings – often very deeply.

What happens, then, when our friends, family members, or co-workers reject us because of our moral and spiritual convictions? How do we suffer rejection and yet remain emotionally and spiritually healthy? Here are some simple principles that will help you not only to endure rejection, but also to thrive and grow in the midst of it.

ICEJ - For such a time as this

Comfort ye, comfort ye My People” (Isa 40:1-2) was the mandate given to the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) in 1980 when it was established. For over 40 years, the ICEJ has embarked upon a journey of bringing comfort to Israel. This journey has involved practical actions that have ministered to our Jewish family.

Building stronger communities - Missional University’s approach to community care in South Africa

Imagine a mother like Thandi, a single parent of two in Soweto, facing a daily battle against poverty and despair. Her struggles multiply as her teenage son, Sipho, falls into substance abuse – a growing epidemic in South Africa, where studies reveal a sharp increase in drug use over the last two decades. The lack of accessible support services compounds their plight, leaving families like Thandi’s feeling isolated in their pain.

Now picture a turning point in Thandi’s life: a community care initiative facilitated by a graduate of Missional University. Someone like Nomvula, equipped with skills to address substance abuse and provide holistic care for affected families. With training from Missional University, she not only recognises the physical and social impact of substance abuse, but also understands the spiritual void that many like Sipho experience.

This is a scenario of what could be – a vision for how Missional University’s graduates may impact communities through their dedication to holistic, Gospel-centered service.

Characters of the Bible: Saul of Tarsus

Over the next two months, we’re going to look at the Apostle Paul. With this article, we’ll consider his pre-conversion life, where he was known as Saul of Tarsus. Next month, we’ll cover Paul’s post-conversion days. This may be one of the most important articles we have in this series on Biblical characters, because many non-Christians and not too few Christians are like Saul.

Thank you, I know it was You, Lord!

My journey is one of hope, purpose, and the belief that every person has a unique role to play in this world, no matter how big or small. I was featured on the front page of Beeld newspaper when I was just a few days old. My mom, who was a regular reader of the newspaper, saw my photo and immediately knew that she wanted to adopt me. At the time, South Africa was still under apartheid, and many others also wanted to adopt me. However, it was with the help of social worker Tessa van Wyk that my adoption became possible.

From Cape Town… to CAIRO!
Celebrating 50 years of evangelism with 50 Gospel crusades

Christ for all Nations (CfaN) began with a dream. Back in 1974, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, then a struggling missionary in southern Africa, had a prophetic dream in which he saw a map of Africa, washed in the Blood of Jesus. He heard a voice declare, “From Cape Town to Cairo, Africa shall be saved.”

When a lamb is rejected…

Every once in a while, an ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are various reasons for this, but once an ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. If the shepherd attempts to return the lamb, the mother might even kick it away. The little lamb’s spirit becomes broken, and it will hang its head so low it appears as though something is wrong with its neck. Without intervention, that lamb, known as a “bummer lamb”, will die – rejected and alone.
