I've Been Thinking:
Vice President Mike Pence announced yesterday that he will visit the Middle East in late December. He will visit Egypt and Israel.
Pence made the announcement at a dinner dedicated to raising money and awareness in order to save and protect Christians in the Middle East.
The vice president also announced that the United States will deliver money to protect Christians and other minorities directly. They US will redirect money that has, in the past, been sent to the United Nations and instead give it directly to the communities in need.
Pence said: "One of the messages that I will bring on the president's behalf to leaders across the region is that now is the time to bring an end to the persecution of Christians and all religious minorities."
He said: "From this day forward, America will provide support directly to persecuted communities through USAID." "Our fellow Christians and all who are persecuted in the Middle East should not have to rely on multinational institutions when America can help them directly."
It's a welcome move. Christians in the Middle East desperately need help.
