NRB President & CEO to JNS: "Radical Groups Have Overplayed Their Hand"
NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller remains in Israel this week on a solidarity mission aimed at deepening Evangelical Christian understanding and support for Israel.
Speaking to Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) in Israel this week, Miller discussed how anti-Israel protests, demonstrations, and violence carried out by an extremist minority are impacting the American Jewish community.
“These radical groups have overplayed their hand and the backlash is now starting to surface,” Miller told JNS in an interview in Jerusalem. “Instead of driving Christians and Jews apart, this is driving them together.” Read the full article here.
“The battle within the young generation is the battle against ignorance,” Miller added.
Miller will be available for interview at the conclusion of the trip. To schedule an interview, please contact presscenter@nrb.org.
A Lifeline of Hope: 4VEH Radio Strengthens Haiti in Crisis
For over 70 years, The Evangelistic Voice of Haiti (4VEH), a Christian radio and television ministry in Haiti, has served as a beacon of hope and a source of spiritual strength for the Haitian people. This is especially true now, as Haiti grapples with immense challenges—political turmoil, economic hardship, and gang violence.
A recent tragedy demonstrated the troubling situation in Haiti as three Christians, American missionaries Davy and Natalie Lloyd and local missions director Judes Montis, were ambushed and killed by a gang as they left church on Thursday, May 23. The families of Davy and Natalie Lloyd have faced challenges in having their remains transported to the United States due to the perilous security situation.
The United Nations reported the first quarter of 2024 as the deadliest for Haitians—around 2,500 people killed or injured by gang violence ravaging the country. The first three months of 2024 were the most violent period recorded by the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti, with a 53 percent increase in casualties from the previous reporting period. The UN called the situation “cataclysmic,” and it grows worse, with an estimated 360,000 people having fled their homes over the past year.
“I grew up during the Duvalier dictatorship and served as 4VEH Operations Director during rebel invasions and coups d’etat,” wrote Rev. Storly Michel, 4VEH Station Director, in a recent newsletter. “What people are living through in Haiti today is unprecedented.”
