What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

Video: Neighbors

Victor and Ibrahim are two men caught in a community-wide conflict that threatens not just their livelihood, but their lives as well.

"Neighbors," shot on location in Jos, Nigeria, examines what happens when segments of a community oppose one another in a standoff that appears to have no solution. This is a story not only of Jos, but of places throughout the world where historical differences of tribe, race, and religion lead to violent conflicts.

Extremely well done production. Thanks so much for this information.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR NIGERIA Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Nigeria with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Nigeria, and will dwell in the midst of Nigeria: and Nigeria ...shall be called a nation of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of nigeria, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.And the streets of the nation shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. (Zech.8)By the power of the Almighty God, I decree joy and gladness, love and peace upon the land of Nigeria. Amen Halleluiah!
