The Bible - the story that makes an impact
Over the last 6 weeks, more than 3,700 Christians in the UK have attended the From Eden to Eternity tour, a drama that brings the story of the Bible to life in a little over an hour. As the impact of the drama still resonates in the UK, the influence of the tour is spreading. Wycliffe Bible Translators in the UK asked the Saltmine Theatre Company to produce this show to remind UK Christians of the value of the Bible. During May and June it toured 27 venues across England. After two successful years, plans are already in place to tour From Eden to Eternity again next year. If you would be interested in having the event at your church in March 2011, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Review highlights of the tour can be seen at www.eden2eternity.org and there's still an opportunity to sponsor the translation of a scripture verse. Praise: God for the message of His Word that speaks to all who hear it. (1Jn.2:5) More: http://www.wycliffe.org.uk/wycliffe/connected/from-eden-to-eternity.html

Cuba 'to free political prisoners'
Cuba's Catholic Church has said that the Cuban government will free 52 political prisoners in a major concession to international pressure to improve its human rights. The church said in a statement on Wednesday that five of the prisoners would be released later during the day and allowed to go to Spain, while the remaining 47 would be freed over the next few months. The release will bring down the number of dissidents behind bars on the communist-led island to close to 100 and possibly have positive ramifications for Cuba's relations with countries that have long pressed the government to free political prisoners. Human rights advocates said earlier this week that Cuba had 167 political prisoners, including 10 who were out on parole. The announced release would be the largest since 1998, when 101 political prisoners were among about 300 prisoners freed following a visit by Pope John Paul II. Pray: that the Cuban Government will honour their promises to release all these prisoners. (2Ch.28:11) More: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2010/07/201077184956643989.html
