Palestinian Christians spot silver lining to Gaza war

Gaza (MNN) — Today, we begin a special two-part look at the Israel-Hamas war from a Christian perspective.

Uncharted Ministries partners with believers on both sides of the conflict. Co-founder Tom Doyle says Palestinian Christians are suffering in Gaza. “They’re just not getting the food; maybe little bits, but hardly anything,” Doyle says.

“Even though Israel is sending the trucks in, Hamas is taking them over, and sadly, they’re (Hamas) getting all the food. People aren’t getting much.”

The UN says famine is “imminent” in Gaza, where over one million people face “catastrophic hunger.” Several countries send food into the Strip through alternative methods, including airdrops and sea ​​routes.

“Gaza is very tightly confined. Pray that they (Palestinian Christians) survive; that they get food [and] water,” Doyle says.

“Uncharted has been privileged to send in both through some of the ministries we work with, and thankfully, it did get in.”

Believers see a silver lining to the war raging around them. “The terrorist groups that have caused so many problems for their own people [are leading] Muslims to look elsewhere,” Doyle notes.

“There is a new openness to the Gospel [among] Muslims who are tired of the wars, they’re tired

Man Ignores Naysayers to Revive Tiny Sparrow with CPR – Watch the Moment his Patience is Rewarded

Submitted by Costakis Constantinou

In a heartwarming video, a 67-year-old actor from Cyprus became determined to use his CPR expertise to save a tiny, helpless sparrow.

The avian creature was found unconscious following an “unfortunate pool mishap”.

In the background of the video, you can hear a chorus of teasing and snickering, with voices urging him to dispose of the seemingly lifeless bird—but Costakis Constantinou remains undeterred.

“Nobody thought this was possible or even worth trying, however, he stayed focused and patiently continued,” his son Rolandos told GNN.

With unwavering determination, he persistently, applied his life-saving skills until, against all odds, the sparrow gradually regained consciousness, fluttering back to life.

“I can say with confidence that he was very, very happy, relieved, and satisfied when the little sparrow opened its eyes and flew away.”

When Rolandos rewatched the video again (see below), he got emotional and telephoned his father to tell him how proud he was.

“In the past he saved two people from heart attack by applying CPR. For some reason my father is at the right place at the right time.”

Osakis School Board approves internet, network services agreements – Alexandria Echo Press

OSAKIS — The Osakis School Board approved both an internet agreement and a network services agreement with the Eastern Central Minnesota Educational Cable Cooperative.

The approvals were made at the board’s regular meeting, which took place Monday, March 11.

The district currently uses the Central Minnesota Educational Telecom Service, or CMETS, for internet and some network service support, but CMETS is dissolving.

The internet agreement with ECMECC is estimated at $4,502, while the network services agreement is estimated at $8,105.

Marc Johnson, executive director of ECMECC, said some areas of focus that were part of CMETS are also a part of ECMECC. One of these is the Central Minnesota Wide Area Network, an internet services program.

“It’s existed for 20 years,” Johnson said via Skype. “ECMECC has always participated in it, but we haven’t always been the manager of that service. We are now the manager of that service, and it serves over 60 school districts and 46 library sites through a large swathe of central Minnesota.”

Johnson explained, “It fully qualifies any of the districts for state telecommunications equity aid, which you received because you were part of CMETS before. The only way to get that aid is to
