Active Christian Media would like to congratulate Mr. Craig Parshall, extraordinary author and all around great guy, on this most prestigious appointment and opportunity! To read some great reviews of his last book Trial by Ordeal, click here. Congrats Craig!

New NRB Staff Appointment 

This week, NRB President & CEO Dr. Frank Wright announced the appointment of Mr. Craig Parshall as NRB’s Senior Vice President & General Counsel. Reporting directly to the president, Craig assumes responsibility for directing NRB’s overall communication efforts, including constituent communications, publications, Internet resources and media relations, as well as providing strategic communications support for the membership, convention, and government relations divisions. In his capacity as NRB General Counsel, he will also manage legal matters involving the Association.

This is a remarkable turn of events for Craig. In joining NRB’s executive staff team, he leaves a distinguished legal career, having participated in six cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Speaking of this new career direction and the opportunity to serve NRB members, Craig says:

"I am honored and thrilled to be part of this great organization. I have always considered NRB to be the pre-eminent leader in keeping the channels of electronic media open and accessible to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, while also stimulating broadcasters and media ministries to even greater levels of creativity, excellence, and spiritual impact. I look forward eagerly to my new role in that critical mission."

Giving the sense of the NRB Executive Committee, Chairman Dr. Ron Harris commented: "The quality, expertise, visibility, and credibility of Craig Parshall bring much to the position. I can see great things happening as a result of this addition to the NRB executive staff."

When making the announcement of this new appointment, Dr. Frank Wright stated: " Craig brings an exceptional background in communications, media relations, and public policy to NRB. Not only will his evident communication skills strengthen our overall communication efforts, but by agreeing to serve as NRB’s general counsel, Craig brings his legal expertise to bear on matters of importance to NRB and its membership. With Craig’s background, skills and stellar reputation, he makes an outstanding addition to an already talented staff team."

Today when I was doing my normal blogging for the persecution blog that I write for, these pictures were part of what I wrote about.  Christians in America, WAKE UP, militant MUSLIMS want to KILL You because of your faith in Christ.  In fact, almost everywhere else in the world Christians are part of the persecuted church.  Consider these pictures and captions seriously.

The following pictures are from VOM Media and are pictures of the Christians mentioned in the previous post.  I want you to look at these precious saints and remember them in prayer, and also remember that there is a militant enemy in the Muslim world that wants to kill you if you follow Christ.  This is just a tidbit of visual evidence.

Mr. Aderemi Ogunmola’s head injury
Aderemi was nearly beaten to death after being slashed in the forehead with a machete during the rioting.

Christian market owner Kenneth with a machete wound to his head
Kenneth couldn’t escape his business before the Muslim mob burned it down and slashed his head, leaving him for dead.

Pastor Olaribigbe in front of his destroyed Celestial Church of Christ
The Celestial Church of Christ was one of 18 churches burned and ransacked in the Jigawa riots.

Displaced Christians taking refuge at police barracks
More than 5,000 Christians have been in need of food and shelter after Muslims destroyed their homes and churches.

UPDATE: A few things have happened in the last 24 hours and so I’ve decided to delay this series for a little while. Stay tuned…

Everyone has something in life that always makes them smile.  For me, it’s this precious kitten I named Kimmie, and also people who are bravehearts who stand for what is good, right and just.

So with that in mind I want to begin sharing with you the people that I consider the heroes and heroines of our day.  Some of those people may not be as well known as others, but be forewarned because they are people with influence and who have dedicated their lives to making a difference for the kingdom of righteousness and justice.

Some consider these people to be really scary, so they claim that they are part of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy".  Hmm, I wonder who would say something like that?

In the following days I will begin short profiles of these heroes and heroines and hopefully we will also get an audio interview with these great people as well.

Tomorrow, I’ll begin by explaining what exactly the "religious right" and why all of you out there need to join our ranks, and begin making a difference for eternal purposes and not just things here in the moment.

And do me a favor, if you have a specific hero you’d like to see me profile, email me or leave me a comment below. 

Now go and smile…

Earlier today I had the distinct privilege to talk to one of America’s heroes for men, women and children.  Dr. Janice Crouse is a Senior Fellow at The Beverly La Haye Institute which is part of the great think tank at Concerned Women for America.  Dr. Crouse has been on the frontlines for years defending and and raising awareness concerning the sex trafficking of men, women and children.  This is modern day slavery of our day.

Dr. Crouse joined me to talk about this weekends extraordinary first International Weekend of Prayer and Fasting for the Victims of Sex Trafficking.   

This is one of the most important events of our lifetime and I want you to join in and take action.
