India further restricts funding of foreign non-governmental organizations
India’s Christian community complains that federal amendments to the law on foreign funding give the government excessive power over organizations tied to minority religions like Christianity, reports International Christian Concern.
They termed the amendments as “draconian” and “constitutionally suspect.”
The Foreign Contribution Regulation Act is the channel through which all non-governmental organizations involved in charitable works receive foreign funding in the country.
A key and contentious feature of the 2026 amendment is the creation of a “Designated Authority,” notified by the federal government, which will take provisional control of foreign contributions and assets in cases of cancellation, surrender, or cessation of registration. This control extends even to assets that are only partly funded through foreign contributions. The authority is empowered to supervise, manage, and maintain these assets.
Unbelievably, the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has, during the past decade, revoked or suspended the FCRA registrations of more than 20,000 organizations.
Fidel Castro’s daughter: It’s time for Cuban regime change
Alina Fernández Revuelta, daughter of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, has strongly criticized the communist regime her father launched in 1959, stating that Cuba is overdue for a new government, reports The Epoch Times.
She fled Havana in 1993 at the age of 37 and settled in Miami, living a modest life much like that of other Cuban exiles.
Born in 1956, Revuelta grew up in post‑revolution Havana, as part of the privileged revolutionary elite. Yet from a young age, she became aware of the realities of communism and later emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of her father’s rule, which she described as oppressive.
In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, she said, “For me, it’s been time for a regime change since the late ‘80s. At the time Fidel Castro died, we were all thinking [his regime] had come to an end, because it was a very personalized and paternalist ... narcissistic government. ... But it survived.”
Revuelta is the daughter of Fidel Castro and Havana socialite Natalia Revuelta, who had an affair in the mid-1950s while both were married to other people. She grew up with her mother and stepfather, and did not learn that Castro was her biological father until age 10.
U.S. fighter jet shot down over Iran
On April 3rd, a U.S. F-15 fighter jet was reportedly shot down over southern Iran, with Iranian state media claiming the regime downed the aircraft, reports One America News.
The incident prompted search and rescue missions for the aircraft’s two-person crew. Tehran’s state media shared images of debris from the crash on Friday.
According to Israeli officials, the United States dispatched search teams to the crash area, and so far, the teams have succeeded in rescuing one crew member, with the search for the second ongoing, reports The Epoch Times.
The semi-official Tasnim News Agency, citing an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps statement, said U.S. forces were seen conducting a search operation in the area using Black Hawk helicopters and a C-130 Hercules aircraft.
The incident comes amid mounting tensions as Trump’s ultimatum for Iran to agree to a peace deal approaches an April 6 deadline, with talks showing little sign of progress.
Tennessee legislature passes bill to stop mail-order Abortion Kill Pill
The Tennessee General Assembly has passed legislation that would hold out-of-state distributors of Abortion Kill Pills accountable when the drugs are mailed into the state and result in the death of a preborn child, reports LifeNews.com.
The goal of the bill is to stop mail-order Abortion Kill Pills that are killing thousands of babies and undermining the pro-life law Tennessee approved to protect unborn children from abortions.
House Bill 5 creates a civil cause of action allowing certain family members, including the baby’s mother, to file a wrongful death lawsuit against those who send abortion-inducing drugs into Tennessee. It provides for statutory damages of at least $1 million, if the plaintiff proves by a preponderance of the evidence, that the drugs caused the death of her preborn child.
The bill, sponsored by GOP Rep. Gino Bulso, passed both the House and Senate and now heads to the desk of Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee for his signature. You can thank Rep. Bulso by calling (615) 741-6808 or sending him a one-sentence note to Rep. Gino Bulso, 425 Rep. John Lewis Way N. Suite 520, Cordell Hull Bldg., Nashville, TN 37243.
President Trump unapologetic about Christian message
In an address at the Oval Office on Good Friday, President Trump was unapologetic about the Christian message.
TRUMP: “On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and He died for all of us. It was a day of darkness, but it wasn't the end by any means. It was not the end.
“On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great, it was the great miracle, I guess, right? (clapping)
“With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God's everlasting love.”
Romans 8:38-39 says, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Martyrdoms of British Pilgrims Henry Barrow and John Greenwood
And finally, when Queen Mary I assumed the throne in England in 1553, she made the Catholic Church in England and Wales once again to be the state religion. In her bloody zealousness to imprison and execute Protestants, she became known as Bloody Mary, after whom a spicy drink with tomato juice and vodka is named today.
Early in 1586, Henry Barrow was converted to Christianity by a Puritan sermon in a church he had been walking past. Eighteen months later, he attempted to write a rebuttal of one of Robert Browne's separatist works, but instead was converted by it. Subsequently, Barrow became close friends with John Greenwood, a Separatist leader.
Barrow and Greenwood led the London Underground Church, the illegal Brownist congregation, which had met in inns and private houses since the late 1560s during Bloody Mary’s reign which ended in 1558. It began with 20 people and grew to 200.
Archbishop of Canterbury John Whitgift of the Church of England and high-ranking state officials ordered the executions of Henry Barrow and John Greeenwood under the 1592 Seditious Sectaries Act which criminalized any Brit’s refusal to attend the Church of England. They were hung in London on April 6, 1593.
Matthew 10:28 says, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
William Bradford, Governor of the Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts, cited that London underground church as the first that “professed and practiced the cause” of the Pilgrim Fathers.
