- 0:15Speaker 1: you hear about the cancer breakthrough as scientists discover switch
- 0:21Speaker 1: that reverses the disease? Have you heard about that? Scientists
- 0:28Speaker 1: have discovered a switch that reverses cancer cells and what
- 0:35Speaker 1: is being described as a major breakthrough. By activating this
- 0:40Speaker 1: mocular level, researchers in South Korea were able to revert
- 0:45Speaker 1: cancer cells back to a healthier stage. This allowed them
- 0:52Speaker 1: to tap into the critical moment before normal sells irreversibly
- 0:57Speaker 1: transform into disease ease cells and half the progression. This
- 1:04Speaker 1: finding provides a new approach for cancer treatment by rewiring
- 1:08Speaker 1: cancer cells rather than eliminating them. Doctor Tiffany trosso Sendobo,

- 1:34Speaker 1: a brief moment when water is neither fully liquid or
- 1:36Speaker 1: fully steamed similar to how cancer development includes a shortened
- 1:41Speaker 1: window where cells are both healthy and cancerous. She explained
- 1:47Speaker 1: traditional cancer treatment focuses on removing cancer cells through surgery
- 1:53Speaker 1: or destroying them a radiation or chemotherapy, but the new
- 1:58Speaker 1: research appears to have, when covered, a third approach that
- 2:01Speaker 1: could allow cancer patients to regain their healthy sales. May
- 2:07Speaker 1: we all stay in prayer for these studies and hopefully
- 2:11Speaker 1: does a breakthrough for everyone. Did you hear that our

- 16:17Speaker 1: Now for a simple my water. Did you hear that
- 16:24Speaker 1: two Christian men were released from prison in Egypt after
- 16:33Speaker 1: spending more than three years behind bars. Both men were
- 16:37Speaker 1: arrested in twenty twenty one on blasphemy related charges after
- 16:42Speaker 1: participating in a Facebook group that DISCUSSS and help individuals
- 16:48Speaker 1: who had converted from Islam to Christianity. Though the men
- 16:53Speaker 1: have been released, Egyptian authorities have not formally dropped their
- 16:57Speaker 1: charges in their cases. Upon his release, one of the
- 17:03Speaker 1: Brethren spoke of his sufferings while in prison and expressed
- 17:07Speaker 1: his gratitude for the support he received during his attainment.
- 17:12Speaker 1: In August of twenty twenty four, he launched a hunger
- 17:15Speaker 1: strike to protest the Egyptian government's treatment of him while
- 17:19Speaker 1: he was incarcerated. He said that he had endured many
- 17:23Speaker 1: hardships in prison, and a report from ADF International, It's
- 17:29Speaker 1: not right that a government should tear me away from
- 17:32Speaker 1: my family, keep me in these awful conditions only because
- 17:36Speaker 1: of the faith in which I peacefully choose to believe.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I think everyone who prayed for me while I was
- 17:43Speaker 1: in prison cared about and followed up on my case
- 17:46Speaker 1: and shared the joy of my release from prison. The
- 17:53Speaker 1: United States Commission on International Religious Freedom stated that they
- 17:57Speaker 1: are pleased with the release of both of these individuals.
- 18:00Speaker 1: They were unjustly unjustly detained on blasphemy charges. The United
- 18:08Speaker 1: States Commission on International Religious Freedom reported that one had
- 18:12Speaker 1: allegedly been tortured by prison guards while detained, and the
- 18:16Speaker 1: other was sent a solitary confinement after a fellow inmate
- 18:20Speaker 1: told authorities he had written down Bible passages. Now you
- 18:25Speaker 1: know the importance of not them, but you, and you
- 18:29Speaker 1: and you and me too, of scripture memory. Egypt has
- 18:37Speaker 1: a contentious history with Christians, with allegations of persecution against
- 18:43Speaker 1: them being reported for years. In twenty twenty two, Amnesty
- 18:48Speaker 1: International reported on nine Coptic Christians who have been jailed
- 18:52Speaker 1: for protesting restrictions on rebuilding the burned church. Additionally, in
- 18:57Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Genocide Watts stated that the homes of
- 19:02Speaker 1: several Christians have been burned egypt blasphemy law Article ninety
- 19:07Speaker 1: eight F is an often used tool to persecute Christians.
- 19:14Speaker 1: According to minority rights groups, it is estimated that up
- 19:17Speaker 1: to ninety percent of blasphemy charges in Egypt are brought
- 19:21Speaker 1: against Christians. Have you heard about any of this? You sure?
- 19:29Speaker 1: All right? So you know when tax season well. The
