I recently saw a tweet from RFKJr (before today) where he said shooting
MUST be due to all the anti psychotic, anti depressant, and hormones kids
are getting nowadays. Because (get this) he says when he was a kid, it was
very common and normal and “encouraged” (???) for little boys to bring real
guns to school to show their friends, but nobody got killed back then.

I will agree that little boys played with LOTS of toy guns when he was a
kid, but I will never believe that they brought real guns to school. Except
maybe in backwoods rural areas, which is NOT where RFK grew up.

> CNMM Networks: Winnipeg
> 
> The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
> diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. 
> Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting 
> it might be twice that size.
> Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size 
> of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
> Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
> of this Muslim centre in Manitoba. 
> We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
> among Muslims in Winnipeg.
> 
> Let us intercede in unity for:
> 
> - new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
> - new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim 
>   communities around them, as well as training new workers
> - the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim
>   background believers and for effectiveness in outreach
> - for the recent Somali woman who found faith  in Jesus and stood her ground
>   in the face of opposition to her new faith.
> - for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

> - Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

> unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

> 18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
> I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
> 19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
