Välkommen till min blogg! Jag kommer att bevaka frågor som rör förföljda kristna i världen, nyheter från Belarus, Israelnyheter, kyrkliga frågor, politik, samhällsfrågor och teologi. Jag står på bibel- och bekännelsetrogen och evangelisk-luthersk grund och jag och min familj hör till Jakobstads svenska församling. Mellan varven kommer jag att presentera några personliga glimtar också, kring sådant som jag är intresserad av.

Dying to live - Vulnerability of innocent people that have no defense
1.12.2025. From OFWI (One Free World International). Full documentary. Watch it!
- Today, like many others, I received a message about an award-winning, important film that has now been released on YouTube for everyone to see.
It is about the full documentary "Dying to live" (1:11:00) that was released earlier this year and has been seen by thousands around the world. The powerful film, which shows how anti-Semitism is on the rise, is about the October 7 massacre 2023. You will see archive photos and interviews on-the-ground.
"I hope you are able to watch it and share it to reach more people." founder and president of OFWI Majed El Shafie writes.
You must log in to YouTube and confirm your age because the content is too graphic for people under 18.
- An IDF-major living in Chicago, immediately traveled to Israel when he heard about the attack. He says: "I was shocked by what I saw, I knew I had a role to play... I was horrified by what my eyes saw... 24 hours after the attack the streets were still full of bodies, at the Nova festival we saw bodies that were burnt, tied, corpses... It brings back that same memory of vulnerability of no defense, of something that is unheard of, violence on innocent people that have no defense. For me as a Jew, that brings back memories of the Holocaust, of the stories that I heard. I heard first testimonies from Holocaust survivors that were telling us how, as children, they were taken away from their homes, and that was my personal grandparents and that brings back that memory 'cause in the same way those kids were, without any mercy kidnapped from their homes. That's things that we built the State of Israel in order to live and proper and live good productive lives, but also so we have the ability to defend our lives and that's what we're about. We're about choosing life."
In the documentary, a young woman asks women's organizations around the world: "Why be silent about the facts that kidnapped women were subjected to sexual violence?"
"I hope you are able to watch it..."
On OFWI's website: "Dying to live" (Full documentary 1:11:00) OFWI:
A voice for the voiceless:
Skönhet och brustenhet
1:a Advent. Bön i advent.
"Gud, tack för att du lät din son födas in i den här världen så som den faktiskt är, med all dess skönhet och brustenhet. Jesus, tack för att du är världens ljus. Låt de ljus jag tänder i advent bli till en bön om att ditt ljus ska skingra mörkret i mitt liv och i hela vår värld."
(Maria Ledstam, bön ur Dagens lösen 1.12.2025)
