Friday, February fourteenth, the UN says at least 22 people have been killed in a village in the Northwest region of Cameroon. Over half of those killed were children. No one has claimed responsibility for Friday’s incident but the opposition parties blame the killing on the government.
Megachurches continue to grow

New
research on church growth has revealed that the world’s largest churches are continuing to grow.
According
to ChristianToday.com, megachurches in America and around the world are gaining
more members. More than 1.6 million people reportedly attend America’s
megachurches each week.
Churches
in America are not the largest in the world, however. Megachurches in Korea,
Argentina, Nigeria, and other places in Africa have even larger memberships.
Dr.
John Vaughan of Church Growth Today found
that the current church growth rate is five times what it was in the year 2000.
Research
also showed that America’s largest churches have an average weekly attendance
of 9,000 people. Some churches in Africa, however, reported more than
20,000 people in weekly attendance.
In
the U.S., Lakewood church in Houston, Texas, pastored by Joel Osteen and
LifeChurch in Edmond, Oklahoma top the list of the U.S.’s largest
megachurches.
Lakewood
Church has more than 52,000 worshippers every week, and Life.Church has a
combined 70,000 total worshippers each week at its 21 campuses across seven
states.
Vaughan
stated that, through his research, he has identified the upcoming 150 emerging
megachurches, and says he is encouraged to note that many good pastors are
being raised up to lead these churches.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
