CBN update on Rifqa Bary

Another credible witness.

I want to thank each and every one of you who took the time to write, call, email, fax, Governor Crist and the Attorney General and the Secretary of State to save this girl's life. You made a difference.

Rifqa is a prayer warrior and is very strong in her faith, but could use encouragement from those who support her. If you want to send her a note of encouragement or a prayer, they will be compiled into a notebook and given to her. You can email your notes to info@grcorlando.org or mail them to the church at P.O. Box 533961, Orlando, Fl 32853.

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS

The church that gave Rifqa sanctuary is setting up a trust fund for Rifqa and her cause. All monies collected will go towards Rifqa, her legal defense, and her cause. Not one dime will be retained by Global Revolution Church and all funds will be administrated and disseminated by a third party.

If you would like to financially contribute to Rifqa and her cause, you can do so in a couple ways.

1. By credit card or debit card on the GRC website. Make sure to designate in the comments section that the funds are for 'The Rifqa Bary Trust'.

2. By mail. Send check or money order (no cash please) to the church at P.O. Box 533961, Orlando, FL 32853. Be sure to designate the check for 'The Rifqa Bary Trust' on the memo line.

You could also arrange for your church, Bible study, local organizations, etc to take up a collection for Rifqa.

UPDATE: STATEMENT BY HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER ADAM HASNER ON THE RIFQA BARY CASE

House Majority Leader Adam Hasner issued the following statement on todays court ruling regarding Rifqa Bary, a young Christian convert who fled her parents home in Columbus, Ohio. She is currently in Orlando, Florida.

I appreciate the efforts of Secretary Sheldon and the Department of Children and Families, Attorney General Bill McCollum, and the countless advocates who have worked tirelessly to put the safety of Rifqa Bary first. The courts decision and the forthcoming involvement of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement facilitated by the Attorney General to investigate this young girls safety if she is forced to return to Ohio may save her from an unthinkable fate.

No one, child or adult, should have to fear for their lives because of their religious choices, and I am hopeful that Rifqas best interests will be safeguarded as this process moves forward. I will continue my communications with General McCollum and Secretary Sheldon, and will be closely monitoring the ongoing investigation and developments in this matter until there is a final resolution that guarantees the permanent safety of this young girl.

UPDATE: And this from MARCO RUBIO COMMENTS ON RIFQA BARY CASE (Rubio is running for Senate this fall, if I was a Floridian, he'd get my vote);

Miami, FLU.S. Senate candidate and former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio today issued the following statement regarding Rifqa Bary's court case:

"America has a rich tradition of religious freedom that is enshrined in our First Amendment. Today in Florida, this freedom could be at stake as a court considers the case of 17 year-old Rifqa Bary.

"This young woman fled from Ohio to Florida, fearing she would be killed for converting from Islam to Christianity. As the court weighs the facts of this case, I hope it will take her expressed fears seriously and not rush to an irreversible decision that may ultimately endanger her.

"It is imperative that state officials use every legal tool at their disposal to properly evaluate Rifqa's best interests. Florida has a responsibility not only to protect her innocent life, but also to defend her sacred right to worship freely."

GOVERNOR CRIST: THANK YOU!

That Girl went Crazy... its not religious she's just CRAZY!

[Oallos1]

@gusto1978

Its not unusual to hear these sorts of accusations against believers. Which of her words cause you to think she is crazy?

[shebzydon]

@deestilo- They would die under Shariah law, and only under Shariah law because she would be living in an Islamic, pure environment, and that would mean she was definitely corrupt. However, under Western rule, influences and law, she's not subjegated to death, because of the media+ the masses that have affected her. Rifqa's case is an obvious setup, anybody with two eyes can see that

[deestilo]

@expressiveification

you sounds like that like a muslim with a deep knowledge. What is the punishment for apostasy in Islam? What will happen to an ex muslim who left Islam according to Islamic theology ?

[expressiveification]

I understand in America there has been an increase in Mosques. Mosques happen to get fuller and Churches emptier - the whole drama of this minor being cohered away from her family by a Priest into a church and now being used as the biggest Christian propaganda machine is appalling.

I would love to see the opinions of the media, if it was an Imam from the mosque who done this to a minor from a strict Christian family.

[expressiveification]

She says "My Blood is now Halal" Halal means permissible. Halal is a a very basic word that most children understand. It appears she didnt have a strict upbringing as she claimed in her Christian propaganda videos (well how could she for christ sake she was a cheerleader in high school).

The fake crying for her life in danger is laughably very bad acting. I am sure the Church could have done better at rehearsals.

[NotCastInCaste]

George Thomas is such a tool...

[pundied36]

The People of the Book are Jews, Christians and Muslims

Muslims are even permitted to marry 'a person of the Book'

'they have to kill me' is completely untrue

Rifqa is clearly uneducated

[osuzq21]

i think some of these videos are created/ monitored by Islam...You can't say anything negative about Islam or defend Rifqa on the video that accuses of her being a liar.

[osuzq21]

Your story is only proof that Sharia Law and Muslim/Islam is evil. May G-d always bless you. Your conversion is amazing and shows the power of G-d to be mightier than any man made law, be it Sharia or false doctrine...

[osuzq21]

I have been praying for you Rifqa since I heard this story. Jesus is with you. Many people believe your story...

[knightsofstjoan2004]

Rifqa's father is a lost sheep in the desert.
