My sincere greetings to all the people behind the World Mission Magazine. More blessings and may the good and loving God inspire further WM to continue its work in sharing the truth around the world.
I would like to share a few words about the January 2013 issue, which as usual, I have enjoyed reading.
World Mission Magazine once again is on the hallmark of discussing very important issue - the vicious cycle of violence among nations. Countries and other players continue to armed themselves, ever ready to engage any body. In the recent times, we have witnessed how the South East Asian countries increase their military spending as the tension in the disputed area of South China Sea heightens. Military spending in the Arab region, with the African states is on its peak also. China, as a rising power significantly increased its military budget. War Machines are out on the market as if basic commodities easily acquired by any entity.
On the lighter side, some refused to participate in military service despite the possibility of incarceration because of the conviction that war is not the solution. Some individuals or groups dedicated themselves to providing basic services for the rehabilitation of people affected by conflict. "Give Peace A Chance!"
Tibet, although invaded in the 1950’s by China, never engaged in a violent venture. It was determined to resolve the issue in a peaceful way. Desperation led 100 Tibetan to self-immolation. These people, if they were inherently violent, could have become suicide bombers instead of setting themselves on fire as a protest. But NO- they are determined not to do violent acts. Tibet, from the start has given peace a chance; let the world give Tibet a chance to see peace.
