Dear Friends,
Not too long ago, friends introduced us to this week’s hymn, which concludes with these words: “May I prove I’ve been with Jesus, who is all my righteousness!”
Despite great difficulties, these missionary friends praise God in everything, sweetly sacrifice time and treasures, and remain ever joyful, ever prayerful, and ever hopeful. We are reassured of God’s faithfulness and inspired to be more Christlike when we are with them! Though darkness and evil dominate the landscape, we likewise can sit at the feet of Jesus every day, and know His reflection will greatly encourage those around us.
1. WEF GLOBAL ELITES EXPOSE THEIR HYPOCRISY AND ARROGANCE: Biden’s climate czar John Kerry told his fellow global elites at the World Economic Forum’s Davos meeting, “When you stop and think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we — a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet. I mean, it’s so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’”
WEF founder and head Klaus Schwab said, “We couldn’t meet at a more challenging time. We are confronted with so many crises simultaneously. What does it need to master the future?” One WEF veteran said, “[Schwab] has a God complex, and thinks he’s in the fittest 0.1 percent.” Elon Musk, who previously attended WEF meetings, but was not invited this year, replied to Schwab: “Are they trying to be the boss of Earth!? WEF is increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and don’t want.”
An anonymous VIP driver for the Davos event revealed that he is not allowed to drive the elites in electric cars. Klara Maria Schenk summed up the event, “The rich and powerful are swarming to Davos to discuss climate and inequality behind closed doors using the most unequal and polluting form of transport: private jets.”
2. WEF ATTACKS FREE SPEECH: A WEF report cited “misinformation and disinformation” as top global “risks” for the next two years. European Union official Vera Jourova predicted that the U.S. will soon have laws banning “hate speech.”
3. FORMER BRITISH PM CALLS TO TRACK VACCINATION STATUS: Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair said a “national digital infrastructure” must be developed to determine “who’s been vaccinated and who hasn’t been.” Blair also promised, “There will be multiple shots.” Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel told the WEF that he would “really like” to have an mRNA vaccine factory “on every continent.”
4. WEF PROMOTES ANTI-FAMILY AGENDA: “Access to abortion” was a key topic on the second day of the WEF’s Davos meeting. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer celebrated her state’s new radical abortion law, saying it “gives me hope.” Sarah Kate, CEO of LGBT group GLAAD, said, “We have worked really close with Hollywood” to include “LGBT folks” “in all stories.”
5. MORE ALARMING PROPOSALS FROM DAVOS: FBI Director Christopher Wray recommended increased collaboration between Big Tech and Big Government for national security: “The sophistication of the private sector is improving, and particularly important, the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government.”
U.S. Rep Maria Salazar (R-FL) said the U.S. needs to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Colombian President Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego said,” Humanity must overcome capitalism in order that we can live on our planet.” Swedish scientist Johan Rockström said, “Dear friends, scientifically this is not a climate crisis. We are now facing something deeper. [We are] really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a planetary crisis.”
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated, “Here at WEF… there’s a lot of discussion about what the new world order will be…”
6. WAR ON CHRISTIANITY IS OPEN: A man wearing a “Jesus Saves” T-shirt was asked to leave the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, after being told by the security guard, “Jesus is associated with religion, and it’s offending people. If you want to shop here, you need to take off that shirt.” Ironically, Pope Francis would probably agree with the security guard, as Francis recently lectured a crowd, “To evangelize is not to proselytize. To proselytize is something pagan; it is neither religious nor evangelical.”
The Church of England declared that clergy can now offer blessing services for homosexual couples, even though the Church will still not officially “marry” same-sex couples. Furthermore, the Archbishop of Canterbury has announced a £100 million fund to “address past wrongs of slavery” in order to “take action to address our shameful past.” U.K. Brexit leader Nigel Farage laments that “climate change has replaced Christianity” as the driving force for the Conservative Party.
7. SATANISM ON THE RISE: The Telegraph published an article entitled, “Young sacrifice belief in God on altar of Satanism.” Chaplain Leopold, one of the heads of the Global Order of Satan UK, said that the order has witnessed a 200% increase in the past five years. Leopold attributed the increase to two factors: the decreasing popularity of “traditional dogmatic religions” and “a movement towards self-identification and self-realisation.”
The Telegraph reports that the call to “engage in activism and campaign on issues such as gender and sexuality is part of the appeal for the younger members” and claims that “Satanists generally do not believe in a higher power, and instead revolve around a religion ‘of the self,’ believing that it is up to individuals to define their own moral code, and to develop themselves as their own god heads.”
8. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CORRUPTION: The White House and Secret Service claims that no visitor logs exist from Biden’s Delaware home where the classified government documents were stored. World Affairs Brief editor Joel Skousen believes, “The reason for their refusal to keep logs on who visits the Biden home is twofold: 1) His wayward son Hunter uses it for parties and 2) Biden spends over 160 days a year at this home, and he doesn’t want recorded who he meets with, lest it become obvious who is in collusion with or giving him orders.”
Edward Snowden tweeted, “The real scandal isn’t that Biden had classified documents coming out of his socks, because sadly they’ve all been doing it. The scandal is that the DOJ found out about it a week prior to the midterm elections and chose to suppress the story, conferring a partisan advantage.”
9. BIDEN REGIME ROLLS OUT NEW ANTI-GUN RULE: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has unveiled a new rule that would ban all pistol braces unless registered with the ATF. Those who refuse to comply could face up to ten years in prison. In related news, Wells Fargo abruptly shut down the bank accounts of gun store Wex Gunworks.
10. BOLSONARO UNDER INVESTIGATION, JUST LIKE TRUMP: Brazil’s corrupt Supreme Court is launching an investigation into Jair Bolsonaro for “inspiring the far-right mob that invaded and ransacked the country’s Congress,” reports the New York Times. Matt Tyrmand notes that Brazil is “going full Gulag. This is the worst Communist takeover ever.”
J.R. Nyquist describes the Marxist formula in this way: “Brazil is falling to the communists. America is only a few steps behind. Here is the process: You capture the public schools. You capture the colleges. You indoctrinate and capture the elite. At the same time, you infiltrate the seminaries and corrupt the churches. You take over the tax-exempt foundations. You enter the intelligence community, the government, and the media. You get control of the money spigot…You conquer society itself. There is one thing you must be careful of, however. When your tyranny becomes effective…the masses will come after you with their guns (if they have any)…So, it is advisable that you misdirect the masses. You must get them to blame someone else for your crimes. Even more to the point, if you decide to devastate society with a biological attack, you must convince your victims that someone else was behind it. You must maintain your innocence to the end, even as you are taking over the world in plain view.”
11. CNN SAYS WE ARE FACING “WORST FOOD CRISIS IN MODERN HISTORY”: CNN reports, “The world is still in the grips of the worst food crisis in modern history, as Russia’s war in Ukraine shakes global agricultural systems already grappling with the effects of extreme weather and the pandemic…” In related news, Eco Health Alliance whistleblower Dr. Andrew Huff reveals that the U.S. government previously simulated attacks on the food supply, and the simulated attacks exactly matched the numerous food factory attacks in the U.S.
12. WOKE MADNESS: San Francisco, California, has introduced a proposal to cancel all debts and dole out $5 million to each longtime black resident to atone for decades of “systematic repression.” The University of Southern California (USC) has banned using the word “field,” claiming the word is racist. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX)) has introduced the “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023” to “prevent and prosecute white supremacy-inspired hate crime.”
13. PROFESSOR SAYS GEN Z IS USELESS: Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt asserts, “When you look at Americans born after 1995, you find that they have extraordinarily high rates of anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide, and fragility,” Haidt attributes this “to the combination of social media and a culture that emphasizes victimhood.”
14. U.S. ABORTION AGENDA: Unduly-elected Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is aiming to defund a pro-life pregnancy center as part of her budget proposal. Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the bill the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,” passed by the House “extreme.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that four city-run clinics would offer “free” taxpayer-funded abortion pills.
15. U.K. MORGUES ARE OVERFLOWING: The U.K. Mirror reports that hospital morgues are overflowing and hospitals are “having to store corpses in temporary mortuaries.” After thoroughly analyzing the U.K.’s Covid vaccine adverse event system, Dr. Richard Ennos says, “There can be no question that the mRNA vaccines should be withdrawn with immediate effect.” Dr. Aseem Malhotra told the BBC he has found “that the COVID mRNA vaccines do carry a cardiovascular risk.” Funeral homes in Norway, where the average citizen has received two doses, are witnessing a surge in vaccinated corpses.
16. MORE DANGERS OF WHO TREATY: Bioweapons expert and Professor Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D., is warning of the dangers of the proposed World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR). Boyle says, “Either one or both will set up a worldwide totalitarian medical and scientific police state under the control of Tedros and the WHO, which are basically a front organization for the CDC, Tony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma, the biowarfare industry and the Chinese Communist government that pays a good chunk of their bills.” Boyle warns, “These are truly dangerous, existentially dangerous, and insidious documents.”
17. MEDICAL CARTEL TARGETS DOCTORS: The U.S. government is suing American chiropractor Dr. Eric Nepute for half a trillion dollars for recommending Vitamin D and Zinc to treat and prevent Covid. A German doctor is facing almost three years in prison and a 28,000 euro fine for issuing nearly 4,000 mask exemptions during Covid-19. Idaho’s Central District Health Board has filed charges against Dr. Ryan Cole for treating Covid patients for free via telehealth and for giving “numerous false and misleading statements” that were “harmful and dangerous to individual patients, generated mistrust in the medical profession and in public health, and had a wide-spread negative impact on the health and well-being of our communities.”
18. FAA LOOSENS REQUIREMENTS FOR PILOTS WITH HEART CONDITIONS: Vaccine researcher Steve Kirsch writes, “On October 24, 2022, the FAA quietly, without any announcement at all, widened the EKG requirements necessary for pilots to be able to fly. The PR (a measure of heart function) used to be in the range of .12 to .2. It is now: .12 to .3 and potentially even higher. This is a very wide range; it accommodates people who have cardiac injury.” Kirsch also notes, “The cardiac harm of course is not limited to pilots. My best guess right now is that over 50 million Americans sustained some amount of heart damage from the shot.”
19. MORE COVID NEWS: CNN “medical analyst” Dr. Leana Wen admitted that the U.S. has been vastly “overcounting Covid deaths and hospitalizations.” Robert Kennedy, Jr. responded, “A year ago, this was a conspiracy theory that would get you censored.”
Japanese researchers are now investigating countless numbers of people who died following Covid vaccination.

FAITH, FAMILY, AND FREEDOM REPORT
1. 64TH SANCTUARY CITY FOR THE UNBORN ESTABLISHED: Little River-Academy, Texas, declared itself a Sanctuary City for the unborn, following a unanimous ordinance from the city council. The ordinance states, “It is the policy of the city of Little River-Academy to protect its unborn residents from individuals and organizations that aid or abet the killing of unborn children, and to protect the unborn from those who seek to kill or otherwise harm them, to the maximum extent permissible under state and federal law.”
2. 22 ATTORNEYS GENERAL CALL ON FDA TO REVERSE DECISION TO LOOSEN ABORTION PILL RESTRICTIONS: 22 state attorneys general sent a letter calling on the FDA to reverse its decision to allow pharmacies to more easily distribute abortion pills. The letter states, “Though the FDA has abdicated its responsibility to protect women’s health, we have not. To be crystal clear, you have not negated any of our laws that forbid the remote prescription, administration, and use of abortion-inducing drugs. The health and safety of our citizens—women and children included—is of paramount concern.”
3. NEW YORK HEALTHCARE VACCINE MANDATE STRUCK DOWN: The New York Supreme Court struck down the state’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, deeming it “null, void, and of no effect.” Mary Holland of Children’s Health Defense responded, “We are thrilled at this critical win against a COVID vaccine mandate, correctly finding that any such mandate at this stage, given current knowledge, is arbitrary. We hope that this decision will continue the trend towards lifting these dangerous and unwarranted vaccine mandates throughout the country.”
4. DESANTIS PROPOSES PERMANENT PROTECTION FROM COVID TYRANNY: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced legislation to make permanently protect Floridians against “the COVID-19 biomedical security state.” DeSantis said, “You should never be discriminated against based on your mRNA status. I just think it’s a civil right to be able to breathe the fresh air.”
5. NEW ZEALAND PM RESIGNS: New Zealand Prime Minister Adern is a lesbian, a WEF Young Global Leader, and the previous head of the International Union of Socialist Youth. Adern is a rabid promoter of censorship and gun bans and implemented some of the most draconian lockdowns worldwide during Covid-19. Tucker Carlson rightly called her “The most authoritarian leader in New Zealand’s history.” Adern claimed that she resigned because she was tired out, but she likely stepped down to avoid losing reelection due to her unpopular policies.
6. 80 ILLINOIS SHERIFFS STAND UP TO “ASSAULT WEAPONS” BAN: 80 Illinois sheriffs are refusing to enforce Governor JB Pritzker’s infamous “assault weapons” ban, calling it unconstitutional. One of the sheriffs, Iroquois County Sheriff Clinton Perzee said, “The right to keep and bear arms for the defense of life, liberty, and property is regarded as an inalienable right by the people.”
7. REP. GAETZ PROPOSES ABOLISHING ATF: U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has introduced a bill that would abolish the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). The bill simply states, “A Bill to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives…The [agency] is hereby abolished.” Gaetz said, “The continued existence of the ATF is increasingly unwarranted based on the actions they’re taking to convert otherwise law-abiding people into felons. My bill would abolish the ATF. If that doesn’t work, we’re going to try defunding the ATF. If that doesn’t work, we’re going to target the individual bureaucrats at the top of the ATF who have exceeded their authority in rulemaking. And if that doesn’t work, we’re going to take a meat cleaver to the statutes that the ATF believes broadly authorize their actions.”
8. MCCARTHY PROMISES TO RELEASE ALL JANUARY 6TH VIDEO FOOTAGE: Kevin McCarthy said, “I think the public should see what happened on that day. I watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized it. Where for the first time in history as a Speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee…I think the American public should actually see what happened instead of a report that’s written on a political basis.”
9. GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN BLOCKS CHINA-TIED FORD PLANT: Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin will not allow Ford Motor Company to build an electric battery plant in Virginia over Ford’s connection with China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. Youngkin declared, “I’ve said before that I want ‘Made in America’ to mean ‘Made in Virginia.’ But let me be clear, ‘Made in Virginia’ cannot be a front for the Chinese Communist Party.”
10. WYOMING PROPOSES BANNING ELECTRIC VEHICLES: Six Republican legislators in Wyoming have introduced a bill to phase out the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by 2035. Part of the bill reads, “The proliferation of electric vehicles at the expense of gas-powered vehicles will have deleterious impacts on Wyoming’s communities and will be detrimental to Wyoming’s economy and the ability for the country to efficiently engage in commerce.”
11. COURT UPHOLDS RIGHT OF CHRISTIAN COLLEGES TO REJECT HOMOSEXUALITY: A federal judge upheld the Title IX exemption that waves non-discrimination requirements for religious schools, allowing them to expel or discipline students who embrace homosexuality.

13. KIRK CAMERON CALLS ON PARENTS TO FIGHT WOKE CULTURE: Kirk Cameron is challenging parents to host pro-Christian, family, and freedom story hours at their local libraries. The actor and author said, “We need a young generation of heroes to rise up and protect Freedom Island. And parents can help make that happen by reading them the stories that inspire those virtues, and that fearless faith and that moral character.” Cameron also said, “Take back the public square. Don’t complain about your community’s culture. Change it!”
HYMN OF THE WEEK
Sitting at the Feet of Jesus by Joseph L. Hall
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Oh, what words I hear Him say!
Happy place! So near, so precious;
May it find me there each day.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
I would look upon the past,
For His love has been so gracious!
It has won my heart at last.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Where can mortal be more blest?
There I lay my sins and sorrows,
And, when weary, find sweet rest.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
There I love to weep and pray,
While I from His fullness gather
Grace and comfort every day.
Bless me, O my Savior, bless me,
As I sit low at Thy feet!
Oh, look down in love upon me,
Let me see Thy face so sweet.
Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus!
Keep me holy as He is!
May I prove I’ve been with Jesus,
Who is all my righteousness.
