On February 19, 1812, 24 year old Adoniram and his young wife set sail for India and though they were rejected entrance into India to preach to the Hindus, they finally found an open door in Burma. On arrival, they faced many challenges. There was not one known Christian among Burma’s population of millions. They had no friends and the region where they lived was infested with robbers.

I  Could hear the distant beating of the popular Bata drum “Iya ilu” ( Mother Drum) being beaten and the Shallow sound of the Omele Ako ( a smaller drum) as I drove my Jeep towards Igbonla… Igbonla was a village known for festivities…. There was always one party or the other….We had no worries, in fact there was a popular saying that ” Why don’t you have any worries like people from Igbonla”.

He gave me instructions to get out of town immediately and switch off my phone for now as my angry mum in law was on her way to the house. No wonder Doctor Jack had sent me home last night insi...

The notices cannot force countries to arrest or extradite...

This was interesting news to many people, considering that Philip is Singapore’s largest private landlord and property developer, and estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth $12.1 billion.
