„Moje práce je novinařina,“ řekl Chamorro. „Byl jsem k tomu povolán, je to má vášeň,“ řekl Chamorro. Studenti na CCC jej popisují jako člověka, který odvádí svou práci „profesionálně, zasvěceně, obětavě a nesobecky.“

 VŠECHNY ZPRÁVY V ANGLIČTINĚ
   THIEVES KILL CUSTODIAN, ROB LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY IN EL SALVADOR

The recent murder of a custodian and the theft of goods from the Lutheran University of El Salvador shook society, especially because the method used harks back to those used by death squads during the country's civil war. Manuel de Jesús Martínez, 46, who worked at the university as a custodian, was found hanging from the branches of a tree with evident signs of torture. Official reports indicate that the assailants struggled with Martínez before committing the robbery. "These acts should have no place in our society, nor in any other," said Bishop Martín Barahona, head of the Anglican Episcopal Church and president of the National Council of Churches of El Salvador. Héctor Fernández, dean of the university and pastor of the Lutheran church, said the methods used by the thugs "seems to be a sign to frighten us." The criminals stole more than 30 computers, three televisions, cash, a sound system, tools and a school bus. The vehicle was found hours later near Fernández's house.

GUYANA CHURCHES PERSEVERE IN CARING FOR FLOOD VICTIMS

Abnormally heavy rainfall in the South American country of Guyana has caused prolonged flooding in its heavily populated, low-lying coastal areas, affecting nearly 300,000 people. In what is considered to be the nation's most severe flood in more than a century, crops of sugar cane and rice have been destroyed and more than three weeks after the flooding began, water still lies waist-deep or higher in some areas. Churches in and near the affected areas have been providing help since the beginning of the disaster and pastors are working to bring practical help and spiritual encouragement. "People are coming to the church from 6 a.m. until midnight, asking for food. The Christians have given from their own pockets to help them," said a pastor on the East Coast. The orderly and equitable way in which churches have organized their aid distribution has been commended by government officials as well as by local communities. Christians have helped not only fellow believers, but those of all faiths and races. Some of the churches are now running out of food and resources. "Today my church is serving food for the last time," lamented a pastor from the Grove area on the east bank. "After that we have nothing more to give." (Barnabas Fund)

CALIFORNIA SEMINARY HONORS CHRISTIAN TV PIONEER DAVID SCOTT

The Center for Arts, Religion and Education (CARE) at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU), a seminary in Berkeley, Calif., has created a faculty chair and endowment to boost the school's new Electronic Christian Media degree program. The endowment was started in honor of Christian television pioneer Rev. David Scott of Total Living Network (TLN). Dr. Doug Adams, professor of Christianity and the arts, says income from the endowment will "assure that many of the 1,400 students . . . will be trained to communicate the gospel in the primary language of today: film and television." Scott, 70, vice president for special services at TLN, began a 47-year career in the Christian media in 1958, serving as communications director for a church in Memphis, Tenn. He wrote, produced and took part in the weekly radio and television program, "Christ Is the Answer." In 1990 he joined Christian Communications of Chicagoland, Inc. where he has served in numerous management positions from vice president and general manager to his current position. Scott was the inaugural lecturer and guiding mentor of CARE's Electronic Christian Media course that launched a year ago. (Assist News Service)

BLIZZARD BOOSTS LISTENERSHIP TO CHRISTIAN RADIO STATION IN ROMANIA

A vicious blizzard has blanketed Romania and parts of Europe, shrinking food and fuel supplies. However, Little Samaritan Mission's Florin Pindicblaj calls the storm a blessing in disguise. The number of listeners to the ministry's Christian radio station has increased "many times in the last two weeks, because people are stuck at home and they're listening to our Christian broadcasts." Pindicblaj says the ministry plans to open three additional stations as weather conditions allow. (Mission Network News)

$25-MILLION CREATION MUSEUM EXPECTED TO OPEN IN 2007

Construction is continuing on an educational facility designed to teach about how science supports the biblical view of creation. The 100,000-square-foot building that will house the Creation Museum is complete, but numerous displays for the project still need to be built. The $25-million facility, which sits on a major highway exit near the Kentucky-Ohio border, is set to open to the public in the spring of 2007. Answers in Genesis (AIG) is spearheading the museum project. "It's going to be a walk through biblical history with animatronics and computer technology, telling people the true history of the world, about creation, the fall of man, the flood of Noah, the origin of races, marriage . . . and so on," said AIG president Ken Ham. The ministry is in the process of raising money to complete the facility which Ham says will be a center for both education and evangelism. The museum will present information to help believers learn about science and how Scripture explains many scientific controversies. (Religion Today/AgapePress)
