Bread NEWS 11 - 'Release say, 'Step up security in Nigeria and defend reporting freedom' & 'Jesus Was a Gypsy'

Jesus Was a Gypsy Report from Wycliffe.org: “When a Gypsy becomes a Christian, the change is extraordinary”, says Rudi Walter.  He should know.  Once in the grip of a drug and gambling addiction, he is a living example of a Sinte who has been powerfully transformed by an encounter with Christ. Now, as Scripture-use specialist on the Sinte Romani Bible translation project, he is eager to see God’s Word change the lives of many more Gypsies. “Jesus speaks Romani, and this touches our hearts”, Rudi explains. “It is our language, and He speaks in Romani—into our  problems.” ---------------- Release say, 'Step up security in Nigeria and defend reporting freedom' Report from Release  Release International is warning that unless Nigeria steps up security to prevent violence against Christians in Jos, the situation could spiral out of control.  Following the murder of three reporters, Christian human rights organisation, Release, is also calling for journalists to be protected so the truth can be openly reported.  A reporter from Nigeria’s The Nation daily newspaper was shot dead at his home in Lagos at the weekend, and Christians have been mourning the death of two journalists working for the religious press and five others, who were murdered by suspected Islamist extremists. Nigeria’s opposition party, the Action Congress, warns that journalists are ‘becoming an endangered species’, and fears the security situation is worsening.  Hundreds have been killed in religious violence in Jos this year. <a href="http://www.podcastalley.com/"> My Podcast Alley feed!</a>  {pca-663f091eeea2e7dbc2fdee950e446781}
