Letter from Pastor Yusef Nadarkhani

Since October 2009 Yusef Nadarkhani has been in Rasht prison in Iran.  He is sentenced to die for his crime: holding house-worship Christian services.  Even though he was never Muslim, had never made Islamic confession, he has been convicted of “apostasy”.  The Obama Administration wrote about as strong a letter as possible condemning the Iranian actions.  In this article is a translated copy of a letter from Nadarkhani to fellow Christians around the world.

Incredible amateur movie, “Cardboard Warfare 2″…

This is an amazing short film, done by a handful of extremely talented guys.  It’s not quite a parody, the scenes are played straight like in all the WWII movies you’ve seen, but the weapons are all made of cardboard! Continue reading “Incredible amateur movie, “Cardboard Warfare 2″…”
