Action4Canada - Rising Persecution of Pastors & Christians in Canada, Egregious Human Rights Violations & Live Q&A

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends, and welcome to the April 13th episode of the Empower Hour.

00:00:12.060 Coming on in just a moment is Tanya Gaw, the founder of Action for Canada.

00:00:16.940 She's going to share information and updates with you, and then she'll be joined by our special guest,

00:00:22.580 Reverend Majid Al-Shafi. Following his presentation, you'll have an opportunity to ask questions

00:00:28.160 during the Q&A time. I have a short Bible verse I want to share with you tonight from the Old Testament

00:00:33.840 book of Nahum, chapter 1, verse 7. The Lord is good. He is a strength, a stronghold, and a refuge

00:00:41.980 in the day of trouble. He recognizes, cares for, and understands those who trust in Him.

00:00:49.560 Action for Canada is a grassroots movement reaching out to millions of Canadians and uniting our voices

00:00:55.140 in opposition to the destructive policies tearing at the fabric of our nation. Through call-to-action

00:01:00.960 campaigns, we equip citizens to take action. We are committed to protecting faith, family, and freedom.

00:01:09.600 For the past six and a half years, and before many of us were even aware of our government's

00:01:15.660 malfeasance and corruption, Tanya Gaw has been fighting for our rights and freedoms. She first 0.99

00:01:21.740 became an activist when Justin Trudeau was running for office. There were so many red flags, and she

00:01:27.460 became very concerned about the future of Canada and what that would look like for her children and

00:01:33.260 for future generations. Tanya is a woman of faith in God, and with his help, she is a passionate and

00:01:40.120 courageous speaker. As we all stand together and fight for our God-given rights and freedoms,

00:01:45.500 we are so grateful and honoured to be led by Tanya Gaw. Tanya, over to you.

00:01:54.300 Thank you, Heather, and welcome, everybody. We're excited about the Empower Hour tonight.

00:02:00.540 Heather, as always, great presentation. You keep us up to date. Some people were asking where they

00:02:05.340 can find that video specific on its own. We share it on the Empower Hour page, separate from the actual

00:02:12.440 show, because I think it's a great resource as well to share with people who are new to Action for

00:02:17.780 Canada. I want to get right into it. I want to get through my updates for you, because I'm really

00:02:23.720 interested in bringing Reverend Machete on, and I think this is an incredibly important topic tonight,

00:02:29.580 so we're really excited that you're here. All right, Trenzio, if we're good, I'm going to share my

00:02:35.300 screen. All right, super duper. Here we go. Okay, so this is our homepage, and I just want for anybody

00:02:43.480 that's new to kind of navigate through it with me as I do this. First of all, I want to give you an

00:02:49.100 update on Action for Canada's legal action with Rocco Galati. I am very happy to tell you that Rocco is

00:02:56.940 making progress in his healing, of course. This has been a long journey for him. He's not ready

00:03:01.360 to be in court yet, but we have Bonnie Henry and the defendants, et cetera, had put through a motion

00:03:08.320 to strike, which was to be heard in February, but due to Rocco's condition, of course, he couldn't

00:03:13.000 be in the courts to deal with that, so it is set for May 31st, and as I've said, you know, we're in it.

00:03:20.440 We're not backing down from this. Just because we've had a bit of a delay, I don't want people getting

00:03:25.480 discouraged about it. We've got lots of cases in Canada that are fighting from different angles,

00:03:30.980 and I just feel very confident that we will eventually have success, so that's my, any updates

00:03:38.440 at all that you need on the legal action would be on this page, so you can find that right there

00:03:42.420 under details and updates. All right, another new resource that we have is under resources and

00:03:49.120 training, One World Order. You can see that we have information. It's an incredible page that Jenny

00:03:55.040 has put together on the WEF, digital ID resources, the critical race theory, and as well the One

00:04:02.080 World Religion. The next page that I want to bring to your attention is under join with the

00:04:08.360 Empower Hour. My screen is being interfered with a little bit on there. Hang on a second. Just had

00:04:14.180 to make an adjustment. The Empower Hour, if you just click on the drop down, so many times we've been

00:04:21.240 on the Empower Hour and you either didn't catch a link, you couldn't copy the chat. If you go to

00:04:26.440 this page, you will be able to catch those links that you had missed and that you felt were relevant

00:04:32.640 or important, so that's just under join, Empower Hour, and the drop down. The next thing, let me just

00:04:40.380 move over here, make some adjustments. Okay, last week I addressed the One World Religions and the New 0.99

00:04:52.140 Age Movement. We had an incredible response. We had Alan Stradwick come on, who had been in the New

00:04:57.640 Age Movement for over 20 years. He was one of the top leaders. He was an advisor of gurus, etc.,

00:05:03.780 and, you know, it's a controversial issue. Some would see that it's taboo, but we thought it was

00:05:10.940 really important to have a conversation on and report on because there was information coming in

00:05:17.080 that the WEF has got their paws into this, and I don't follow the New Age Movement, but apparently

00:05:26.380 many people within know who this gentleman is, and he is closely tied to the World Economic Forum

00:05:33.320 as well as moving towards the New World Order. He's a speaker, a special speaker, etc.

00:05:41.920 So where many had thought, oh my goodness, Tanya, why are you having that conversation? I feel that we

00:05:49.020 have a duty in all of this. If that is, there is a thread of any kind in any movement that we know

00:05:55.960 about religious or not, we have a duty to report on it, and we don't support the suppressing of

00:06:03.680 information, and so for those of you who were offended by this, you know, in one sense, I want

00:06:09.940 to apologize, but on the other sense, not, because wouldn't you want to know if you are in something

00:06:15.420 that's supporting love and unity, that if there was a thread of something that was dark behind it,

00:06:21.480 that you would want to be advised of that. So we just want to bring it to people's attention,

00:06:26.480 and then you have the freedom to choose whether or not you want to continue to follow this movement.

00:06:32.580 As a result, Alan, overnight in 12 hours, had 200 people email him and request his book,

00:06:40.560 and it has grown to 300. Many of them, 95% of it was positive, thanking him profusely for being bold

00:06:49.720 enough and courageous enough to talk about this issue that they had no idea that the New Age

00:06:55.560 movement had ties to the WEF and the One World Order. This week, as we move forward, I thought it 0.96

00:07:04.780 was very important as well to talk about persecution of Christians in Canada. The reason we're focusing

00:07:10.840 on this right now and bringing awareness to the other dimensions of the globalist agenda in relation

00:07:16.360 to religion and other belief systems is because it's an essential part of the plan to gain power

00:07:22.480 and control in pushing a one-world religion. It means that they intend to eliminate all religions 0.64

00:07:29.880 and replace it with their version, which is an evil cult of ideas. So it is up to every nation to rise up

00:07:37.680 in defense of their system of belief. In Canada, that means Christianity. That is what this nation

00:07:45.480 is founded on. We need to understand that if they succeed in eliminating the structure of Christianity 0.90

00:07:51.820 in Canada, they will also have succeeded in tearing down the rule of law, since it is founded on Christian 1.00

00:07:58.900 biblical principles. This is why they are attacking the church and why the persecution of pastors

00:08:05.100 pastors and Christians is on the rise. It is all relevant, and it is imperative that Canadians understand

00:08:12.060 why it is so critical that we defend Christianity and rise up in support of the mission that Action for Canada

00:08:19.440 is commencing in partnership with Reverend Majed and One Free World International.

00:08:25.940 I would encourage you, if you have not read through this page, please do so.

00:08:30.460 On Action for Canada's page, if this is your first time here, you just pop down to weekly emails

00:08:35.380 and you can access this report. It provides what is going on with our pastors. This is just a brief look

00:08:45.220 of the pastors that are being persecuted in Canada. This is a very short list. There are many others.

00:08:53.020 Meanwhile, the mosques have been open. Last May, there was the celebration of the Palestinians 0.98

00:08:59.760 Palestinians who were rallying in opposition to what was going on in Palestine. There was thousands

00:09:06.440 of Palestinians that were rallying across Canada. There were no arrests, there were no fines, no tickets.

00:09:13.600 In this report, we provide more of the information on the work that Reverend Majed has been doing on behalf

00:09:19.720 of a Christian family in Canada that had fled Nigeria. Justin Trudeau had decided to deport them as they were

00:09:28.020 seeking asylum. But Majed and his team, along with another organization, were fighting very hard for

00:09:33.360 them. And as of November, they were given permission to live freely because they had gone for two years

00:09:39.360 in hiding in Canada. Something's very wrong with this picture, my friends. On this page as well, there are

00:09:46.020 other videos and information. Again, I would encourage you and ask that you would go and review them, please,

00:09:52.080 to understand the persecution of Christians that has been going on worldwide. The media and governments

00:09:57.540 around the world are silent on this. Hundreds of millions of Christians are being persecuted,

00:10:04.840 tortured, and dying. It's time to have a conversation.

00:10:10.420 And as well, what we're asking today is that you would also please donate to the legal fund to protect

00:10:16.500 and fight against the persecution of Christians in Canada. So what I want to do now is, on that note,

00:10:24.220 there's a short video outlining Majed's journey and that work that he has been doing worldwide.

00:10:30.780 So before bringing Majed on, Terenzio, would you please bring that video on and we'll play that briefly.

00:10:35.920 and we'll play it briefly.

00:10:59.980 I started One Free World International for Human Rights.

00:11:09.820 It's a human rights organization to defend the freedom of religion, defend the persecution

00:11:14.760 of Christians, defend another minority that's facing persecution for their beliefs, no matter

00:11:19.760 who they are, such as the Muslim Baha'is or the Muslim Ahmadis or the Falun Gong or the 0.73

00:11:28.900 Uighurs, the Muslims in China, or standing against anti-Semitism.

00:11:35.240 We stand for the freedom of religion everywhere.

00:11:38.980 I've been a freedom fighter since I was 18 years old.

00:11:43.040 I've been fighting to defend the people that are facing persecution for their belief for

00:11:50.340 the last 15 years or more right now.

00:11:53.900 The persecution that's happening to these people is not something that I'm not familiar

00:11:57.780 with.

00:11:58.780 The main reason why I'm very passionate about it, because I'm one of them.

00:12:02.700 I used to be one of them.

00:12:11.120 Between 200 to 300 million persecuted Christians in our world today, and nobody mentioned anything,

00:12:18.160 you can speak about the persecution of any other minority.

00:12:21.600 And the media will listen.

00:12:22.600 The people will listen.

00:12:23.600 When you come to the persecuted Christians, nobody will listen. 1.00

00:12:27.940 And I don't know why.

00:12:28.520 When you hear persecution of Christians, you think it's something that happened in the early

00:12:41.800 church years.

00:12:42.400 I mean, immediately after the crucifixion of Christ, there was a lot of persecution.

00:12:45.940 But actually, there's more persecution of Christians today than there was back then.

00:12:49.780 So people need to know that, and not only to know it, but to care about it.

00:12:54.600 Somebody need to fight for this people.

00:12:58.940 With my own respect, since the existence of this law is not used anywhere but in personal disputes.

00:13:13.940 I'm looking at the case.

00:13:14.940 I'm looking at the crime.

00:13:15.940 I'm looking at the crime.

00:13:16.940 I'm looking at the crime.

00:13:17.940 I'm looking at the crime.

00:13:20.940 I'm looking at the crime.

00:13:23.940 The deadly bomb blasts in August 28, 2012, in Druze and Christian areas.

00:13:32.280 The arrest of many of the Christians and other minorities and torturing them on the hand 0.99

00:13:39.280 of the rebels.

00:13:42.280 Focusing on dealing with the source of the problem and the roots of the problem, which

00:13:47.280 is fighting ISIS and our military mission.

00:13:50.280 This freedom cannot be complete without the power of women in the society. 1.00

00:14:00.280 We are the future of this land.

00:14:09.280 And I know that it's a very hard plan to be a female.

00:14:19.280 But you are not, but you are not alone.

00:14:24.280 And we're coming all the way from Canada and the United States to tell you that we love

00:14:29.280 you.

00:14:30.280 We are proud of you.

00:14:31.280 And the future.

00:14:32.280 You are the future of this land.

00:14:33.280 Oh, that's right.

00:14:34.280 It's yours.

00:14:36.280 Jun行 empez.

00:14:37.280 Jun行き For the last two years, we've been working withουν 비30 and with the Canadians

00:14:50.280 about this.

00:14:51.280 We've been working with the NU30 and with the Canadians about this.

00:15:13.280 And I think in the angle of the youth, we all as a society have to protect the world.

00:15:21.280 Democracy has two foundations. We cannot have democracy in the Middle East without two main foundations. 0.66

00:15:34.280 Number one, freedom of religion.

00:15:41.280 We are at the top of each other and stand for unity.

00:15:43.280 So while standing in unity until the end of the world, that's what happened.

00:15:47.280 Church people as they have their own pain, they also have their suffering, they also have their history. 1.00

00:15:52.280 The only way to get out of this issue is by killing them. 1.00

00:15:55.280 The only way to get out of this issue is by killing them. 1.00

00:15:59.280 The only way to get out of this issue is by killing them. 1.00

00:16:06.280 The only way to get out of this issue is by killing them. 1.00

00:16:13.280 They can always kill the dreamer, but no one can kill the dreamer. 1.00

00:16:15.280 The only way to get out of this issue is by killing them. 1.00

00:16:20.280 They can always kill the dreamer, but no one can kill the dreamer. 1.00

00:16:49.280 Wow. Thank you so much. Heather, will you come on, please, and introduce our guest?

00:16:56.280 Thank you, Tanya. What a powerful video.

00:16:59.280 Joining us this evening is Reverend Majed El Shafi. Majed is an author, human rights activist, and the founder of One Free World International.

00:17:10.280 His own human rights journey started in his native Egypt when he converted from Islam and became a follower of Jesus.

00:17:18.280 As a survivor of torture and religious persecution, Majed is able to identify with and fight for others in similar circumstances in a very powerful way.

00:17:28.280 He now brings awareness to human rights violations and advocates for religious freedom worldwide.

00:17:34.280 He confronts governments who violate these fundamental rights, conducts fact-finding missions, and is involved with humanitarian rescue operations.

00:17:43.280 Now, in a landmark partnership, One Free World International and Action for Canada are joining forces to commence a historical campaign against corrupt government officials, directors, and authority figures for abusing their power and taking part in human rights offenses.

00:18:01.280 I'm very honoured to welcome Reverend Majed El Shafi for the very first time to the Empower Hour. Welcome.

00:18:11.280 Thank you. It's a pleasure to have you. Thank you for having me.

00:18:15.280 Thank you.

00:18:19.280 Thank you.

00:18:20.280 Thank you. Well, you know, I'm just going to give the floor right over to you.

00:18:24.280 And I know that you have about 30 minutes or 40, whatever time you need to share your story.

00:18:30.280 We'd love to hear from you.

00:18:32.280 Thank you.

00:18:33.280 Thank you so much. Thank you.

00:18:34.280 And thank you, Tanya, for having me.

00:18:36.280 I admire you and I admire your zeals and your leadership.

00:18:41.280 And I thank you for you and for all your team for the amazing work that you are doing here in Canada.

00:18:49.280 I will not take a lot of all of your time because I want to hear from you as well, the questions and answers after my speaking.

00:18:58.280 I would like to start every time I see this video, it just bringing memories to me and remind me of the long road that we do that.

00:19:09.280 It was full of victories and more victory to come in Jesus name because we refuse to be a victim, but we're a victor in Jesus make no mistake.

00:19:20.280 And I will not speak to you about what the enemy is doing because I refuse to give our enemy the platform.

00:19:28.280 I want to speak to you about what God is doing.

00:19:31.280 And the first thing that I will start is by speaking about my personal testimony and how they came to this great nation of Canada.

00:19:39.280 My name is Majid Shafiqi. I was born in Egypt, Cairo. I was born from a Muslim family back home in Egypt.

00:19:49.280 I was born in February 17, 1977, which is mean I'm still young and handsome. Thank you very much.

00:19:55.280 I appreciate the support.

00:20:00.280 I don't know who's clapping, but thank you.

00:20:06.280 When I was born, I was born, I found big huge library in my bedroom full of books about freedom of religion, about human rights.

00:20:14.280 And as I finished my high school and I joined the law school in Alexandria to become like the rest of my family.

00:20:23.280 My father was a lawyer. My brother was a lawyer. My uncle was a judge in the Egyptian Supreme Court.

00:20:29.280 So I grew up in what is human right, the freedom of religion, justice.

00:20:36.280 But when I went to the school, to university, I found that the persecution happened to the Christians every way, every day.

00:20:46.280 As you are watching me right now, maybe you don't know, but Egypt originally was a Christian country until the 7th century,

00:20:52.280 when a Muslim leader by the name of Omar Ibn al-As, he entered Egypt by force.

00:20:57.280 And he converted the majority of the Christians from Christianity to Islam. 0.58

00:21:04.280 Many of you doesn't know that there is many Christians today is persecuted in Egypt.

00:21:10.280 They are in prison between 6,000 to 7,000.

00:21:13.280 You know, Christians, Egyptians, they are in prison right now just because they are Christians. 1.00

00:21:18.280 Many of you know that maybe you don't know that you cannot build a church in Egypt.

00:21:22.280 You can build bar discotheque, but not a church.

00:21:26.280 When we are talking about minority rights in Canada, I would like also to speak about the minority rights in the Middle East.

00:21:35.280 I like to speak about the Christians' rights in countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

00:21:39.280 You know, in Canada, anybody is free to build a church, a mosque, a temple.

00:21:46.280 What about our people in the Middle East? What about our people in the Muslim countries? 0.65

00:21:52.280 These are questions that the Muslim community have to answer. 0.99

00:21:57.280 And the Muslim community, you know, if even we welcome them, if they want to work with us on this issue.

00:22:03.280 You know, why the minority in your country does not have the same freedom that you have in Canada?

00:22:09.280 That's an important question that has to be answered.

00:22:15.280 All of this persecution that happened to the Christian minority make me wonder, as a Muslim young man, why this is happening to the Christians?

00:22:23.280 Let me put it this way. You do not persecute somebody unless you are afraid from the truth that they can.

00:22:32.280 I used to I live in downtown Toronto. I'm talking to you right now from Washington, D.C.

00:22:37.280 We have a lot of meetings here in Washington, D.C., but I live in downtown Toronto.

00:22:42.280 And a story like, you know, Jehovah Witness used to knock on my door every Saturday. 0.99

00:22:49.280 I never persecuted them. I never discriminated against them. It's the opposite.

00:23:00.280 I always smiled in their face and I always come in. Let's have a cup of coffee together.

00:23:04.280 And of course, once they come in, I lock the door. They can't leave. But that's a different stuff.

00:23:08.280 It's a joke. It's a joke. Don't call 911 yet. I have four Jehovah Witnesses locked in the closet and I forgot to give them food and water. 1.00

00:23:19.280 It's a joke. Once again, it's a joke. I never persecuted them. The opposite. I let them come in and I spoke with them. The truth.

00:23:28.280 They stopped coming in their own. But they don't persecute you. They persecute the truth in you. They persecute Christ in you. That's the truth.

00:23:37.280 That's what's happened. So we have to understand that the persecution that we see today makes me wonder why there is persecution.

00:23:49.280 What are we as a Muslim scared of Christians and why they why we're persecuting them?

00:23:54.280 That's when I went to my best friend Tamer. Tamer was a Christian. I was a Muslim, but we never spoke about religion.

00:24:00.280 And I went to Tamer and I told him, Tamer, tell me why there is persecution happening to your community.

00:24:06.280 He said, Majid, I cannot answer your questions because I'm afraid that my answers can affect our friendship negatively.

00:24:13.280 So I will give you a book. If you are really seeking the truth, read this book and you found answers for every question that you have.

00:24:20.280 This book was not only about rules and regulation.

00:24:25.280 This book was also about sacrifice and love and justice. We call it the Holy Bible.

00:24:33.280 I didn't know the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. I just opened the Holy Bible for the first time in my life.

00:24:39.280 And it was John 8. And in John 8, they brought a lady to commit adultery, throw her in front of the Lord and told him, judge her according to the law of Moses.

00:24:50.280 The Lord started right down in the sand by his finger. They repeated the question.

00:24:54.280 And the Lord looked at all of them and told them, without sin, cast her the first stone.

00:25:00.280 And that was my first time I met Jesus. Now, keep in mind, the only one who can really cast the first stone is Christ himself, because he's the only one have no sin.

00:25:10.280 But he didn't. He looked at this lady and he told her, go, sin no more. I forgive you.

00:25:17.280 This was the first time I met Jesus. And from this day, I started studying the Bible. I started to know the Bible.

00:25:23.280 And I went back again to Tamer after almost 11 months, and I told him, Tamer, now I know what is Christianity.

00:25:30.280 Now I know what is Christianity. Christianity is not a religion. 0.96

00:25:33.280 Christianity is not a religion that you just go every Sunday, hallelujah, bless the Lord, and see the Lord next Sunday.

00:25:39.280 No, that's a club.

00:25:42.280 Christianity is a relationship with God.

00:25:46.280 I told him, now I know who is Christ. He's not just Almighty Lord.

00:25:51.280 He's flower in the middle of the desert, light in the middle of the darkness, a warm hug in the middle of cold night.

00:25:58.280 And that's what Christ.

00:26:00.280 I told him, Tamer, we have to ask for justice.

00:26:04.280 We have to create a human rights organization underground to fight for the minority rights, to fight for the Christians' rights in Egypt.

00:26:12.280 We started this organization underground, young kids, only maybe seven people.

00:26:18.280 In two years' time, we become 28,000 in one organization.

00:26:25.280 24,000, my apologies. 24,000 in one organization in two years.

00:26:31.280 We build churches underground. As I said, by the law, you cannot build a church.

00:26:35.280 So we build churches underground in the caves, sand mountains.

00:26:40.280 We establish a newspaper to ask the Egyptian government to give us our rights and equal rights as a minority.

00:26:47.280 And I start to write a book about the Christian history in Egypt.

00:26:54.280 This all led to August 15, 1998.

00:27:02.280 I was in my office in downtown Cairo.

00:27:05.280 And I heard knock on my door, 1.30.

00:27:10.280 I went to open the door.

00:27:13.280 Somebody asked for a name.

00:27:15.280 I told him, nobody here by this name.

00:27:17.280 You have the wrong address.

00:27:18.280 After I closed the door by two seconds, five soldiers, two officers, they came.

00:27:24.280 They broke the door.

00:27:25.280 They kidnapped me from my office to a police station, a police station behind the Egyptian parliament.

00:27:32.280 And they interrogated me there.

00:27:35.280 And they said, we know who you are.

00:27:37.280 We know the organization that you build, the book that you wrote, the church, that you are buildings all around the country.

00:27:45.280 The one thing we don't know, who is the rest of your team?

00:27:49.280 We know that you are the head of the group.

00:27:51.280 But we don't know who else working.

00:27:54.280 I told them, I don't know which team and which organization.

00:27:59.280 And if you know everything about me, why are you asking?

00:28:03.280 They told me, oh, you want to play tough?

00:28:05.280 We can play tough together.

00:28:06.280 I told them tough is my middle name.

00:28:07.280 You have no, don't worry about it.

00:28:11.280 Next day, they transfer me to a prison.

00:28:13.280 It's called Abu Zahabel prison.

00:28:16.280 For the people who doesn't know Abu Zahabel prison, we call it in the Middle East, hell on earth. 1.00

00:28:24.280 It's where the people go there and they never come out.

00:28:27.280 In a matter of fact, there's only maybe five names of people came out of this prison alive.

00:28:32.280 And I'm one of the five.

00:28:36.280 And what you will hear right now, ladies and gentlemen, brother and sister, is you will not see this in your CNN nonsense news or CTV or CBC.

00:28:53.280 You will not see this in the news.

00:28:55.280 You will not hear this in it.

00:29:00.280 25% of the space of this prison is underground.

00:29:04.280 It's like graves or basement.

00:29:06.280 That's where they keep the believers and they torture them. 0.83

00:29:09.280 And I went there for seven days.

00:29:14.280 For me, it was like 700 years.

00:29:18.280 Every day, the torture level increases.

00:29:22.280 The officers that torture you, they always wearing a mask.

00:29:29.280 So you cannot see their face.

00:29:31.280 They always call each other by numbers, not by name.

00:29:34.280 So you don't know the real name.

00:29:39.280 There is always military doctor standing behind you.

00:29:41.280 This military doctor is his job not to make sure that you don't have the pain.

00:29:46.280 His job that you're conscious to the pain.

00:29:52.280 If you lost your conscience, he wakes you up.

00:29:55.280 So you are in more pain.

00:29:58.280 I was there for seven days.

00:30:00.280 Day number one, they shaved the hair of my head.

00:30:03.280 And they have two big containers of cold, very cold and very hot water.

00:30:08.280 And they will dip my head one, like one minute here and one minute they're exchanging.

00:30:15.280 Now the torture will be for three, four hours, not to stop.

00:30:18.280 They give you rest between for 20 minutes.

00:30:20.280 And after that, they carry on for another three, four hours until the end of the day.

00:30:25.280 And they will come at the end of the day, ask you if you speak, if you give them the information that they need.

00:30:33.280 And in this case, they just want the name of my friends.

00:30:36.280 And I will not betray my friends.

00:30:37.280 I will not kill my friends.

00:30:40.280 Day number one, they put my hand, they tied my hand behind their bag.

00:30:44.280 They shaved the hair of my head.

00:30:45.280 They dipped my head in cold and hot water for hours and hours.

00:30:49.280 And at the end of the day, they came back and they said, you tell us the name of your friends.

00:30:54.280 I told them, I don't know which friends you are talking about.

00:30:57.280 And quite honestly, I enjoy the cold and hot water.

00:31:01.280 I enjoyed it.

00:31:03.280 Quite honestly, I am very handsome without hair.

00:31:09.280 As you can see, I keep the style a little bit.

00:31:12.280 There's not much hair in there.

00:31:17.280 Day number two, they hang me upside down.

00:31:23.280 They beat me with everything in their hands.

00:31:26.280 They buried me with cigarettes.

00:31:29.280 They hurt me.

00:31:30.280 They will beat me for three, four hours nonstop with the build.

00:31:34.280 They took the nail out of my right toe. 0.90

00:31:38.280 The only thing that I can remember in day number two was the taste and the smell of my blood.

00:31:52.280 And I couldn't walk in the end of the day.

00:31:55.280 So they took me to my dark cell underground.

00:31:58.280 And they told me, tell us the name of your friends.

00:32:01.280 And I said, no, I will not.

00:32:03.280 They told me, do you know what will be your torture next day if you didn't speak today?

00:32:07.280 I told them I'm listening. 0.98

00:32:08.280 They said, we will release three dogs to attack you. 0.98

00:32:11.280 These are dogs being trained by the Egyptian authority to attack the believers, to attack humans.

00:32:20.280 And they're not the cute little dogs that you have at home.

00:32:24.280 This will be German Shepherd usually or Doberman.

00:32:28.280 And they close the door.

00:32:31.280 I mean, what do you do if you are at my place?

00:32:34.280 You're underground.

00:32:35.280 You're beating.

00:32:36.280 You're tortured. 0.98

00:32:37.280 You're lying down and put off your own blood.

00:32:41.280 And you know, next day you will face three dogs will attack.

00:32:44.280 There is no windows.

00:32:47.280 You're underground.

00:32:48.280 There is nothing.

00:32:49.280 Complete darkness.

00:32:50.280 What do you do if you're in my place?

00:32:52.280 I start to pray.

00:32:54.280 And that was my prayer to the Lord at this day.

00:32:57.280 I told him, Lord, I want to thank you for your gift on the cross.

00:33:01.280 I want to thank you that you died for our pain and our sin and our disease.

00:33:05.280 And I want to thank you that you rose again to give us the way, the truth, and the life.

00:33:10.280 Almighty God, I don't regret my belief in you.

00:33:16.280 I will do it again. 0.99

00:33:18.280 But my only request to you, kill me before tomorrow morning. 1.00

00:33:24.280 I don't know if I can handle this pain. 0.98

00:33:28.280 And I always care that I will speak about the names of my friends and this will betray them and kill thousands of my organization team.

00:33:39.280 You see, listen to me carefully what I will say next. 0.97

00:33:44.280 Christians like bag of tea. 1.00

00:33:46.280 You don't know how strong they are until you throw them in a hot water.

00:33:50.280 And next day, I woke up.

00:33:57.280 I prayed in Jesus name that he would take my soul.

00:34:00.280 Give them the body. 0.52

00:34:01.280 I don't care about the body.

00:34:02.280 From ash to ash, from dust to dust.

00:34:04.280 I really don't care much.

00:34:06.280 Next day, I woke up.

00:34:09.280 Did you ever wake up in the morning and didn't know if that's a good news or a bad news?

00:34:15.280 I woke up next day.

00:34:18.280 And it was a dark room.

00:34:22.280 And they opened the door.

00:34:24.280 When they opened the door, there is a red light in the corridor.

00:34:27.280 So the shadow of whatever in the corridor will project in your room.

00:34:32.280 And I can hear another door open from far away.

00:34:35.280 And I can see a shadow of the dogs getting closer and closer to my room.

00:34:39.280 I can hear their noise, their voice.

00:34:41.280 You know, when there is a big chain around their neck, the way they breathe, they breathe heavy.

00:34:45.280 Big dogs.

00:34:47.280 I went and I sit down in a corner.

00:34:51.280 So it's in a corner.

00:34:53.280 And I sit down in a way that I sit down that my knees is on my chest.

00:35:02.280 Like, you know, I squeeze myself in the wall.

00:35:05.280 And I cover my face with my own hand.

00:35:07.280 What I was trying to do, so I sit down in the corner to protect my back.

00:35:11.280 So the back of my head and the neck all the way to the back.

00:35:15.280 And I put my knees on my, like, you know, cover with my chest to be able to cover the lungs, the heart, the neck, with my own hand covering the face.

00:35:25.280 They don't teach you this in university.

00:35:27.280 This is your own surviving instinct that the Lord put inside of you.

00:35:33.280 So I went down.

00:35:34.280 I sit down in this position.

00:35:36.280 And I can hear the dogs getting closer and closer and closer and closer.

00:35:41.280 And I prepared myself for pain.

00:35:44.280 And I can hear them getting closer and closer and closer until I know that they was in my room.

00:35:59.280 I can smell them.

00:36:01.280 Their breath is touching my hand.

00:36:06.280 But I couldn't feel any pain.

00:36:09.280 I couldn't feel any agony.

00:36:13.280 So I started to move my hand just slowly away from my face.

00:36:18.280 And that's what I saw.

00:36:20.280 All three dogs sitting around me.

00:36:22.280 None of them moved one single step.

00:36:30.280 Officers and soldiers start to beat the dogs with the belt so hard for them to move to attack.

00:36:38.280 But they didn't.

00:36:39.280 The dogs did not attack.

00:36:41.280 And I remember the officers and the soldiers, the officers told the soldiers maybe something wrong with the three dogs.

00:36:49.280 Go get me another set of three dogs. 0.99

00:36:51.280 And they went to bring another set of three dogs.

00:36:55.280 And another three dogs sitting in the same position was one little different.

00:36:58.280 The middle dog took a step forward and he licked my face. 0.88

00:37:02.280 And one time, I was testifying in front of the American Congress.

00:37:12.280 And a congressman from the Democratic Party came to me after I testified.

00:37:20.280 He said, Reverend Shafi, I have a question for you.

00:37:23.280 I don't believe in God.

00:37:26.280 And I don't believe in miracles.

00:37:28.280 I told him, well, it's your problem really.

00:37:31.280 It's not my problem.

00:37:32.280 You know, you see, the good news here is, even if you don't believe in him, he still believes in you.

00:37:40.280 God is most merciful.

00:37:41.280 But what is your question?

00:37:43.280 What is it that you want to ask me?

00:37:45.280 He said, what is your logical explanation for the reason that the dog did not attack you?

00:37:53.280 I told him you are looking for logic.

00:37:55.280 Here is my logic, sir.

00:37:57.280 I told him, you see, these dogs being trained to listen to their master, but there is no higher master than Jesus Christ.

00:38:11.280 That's your logical explanation.

00:38:15.280 I told him, by the way, congressman, I just want to tell you something.

00:38:20.280 You don't believe in God.

00:38:21.280 You believe that when you die, there is nothing.

00:38:25.280 And I believe in God.

00:38:29.280 I believe when I die, I will see, I will be with Jesus.

00:38:35.280 And I will see his heaven.

00:38:38.280 Let me just put it this way.

00:38:44.280 If I am wrong, I'm not losing anything.

00:38:49.280 But if you are wrong, congressman, you will lose everything.

00:38:54.280 And I left him.

00:38:55.280 That was the end of the discussion.

00:38:57.280 It is not worth wasting further of my time.

00:38:59.280 Officers and soldiers didn't know what to do.

00:39:05.280 They never saw anything like this.

00:39:07.280 They took the three dogs.

00:39:08.280 They closed the door.

00:39:09.280 They get the same message that I got.

00:39:11.280 That maybe I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.

00:39:14.280 Day number four.

00:39:15.280 Officer number 27.

00:39:17.280 He came, he opened the door, very angry, very upset.

00:39:21.280 He was a big, huge man.

00:39:23.280 Like this guy, I can't remember his name.

00:39:28.280 He used to be an actor in Terminator.

00:39:33.280 He used to say, I will be bad.

00:39:35.280 I can't remember his name.

00:39:36.280 Arnold Schwarzenegger, something like that.

00:39:38.280 He was a big, strong man.

00:39:39.280 Officer number 27.

00:39:41.280 He came, he opened the door, very angry, very upset.

00:39:44.280 He said, listen, I'm not scared of you.

00:39:46.280 I told him, of course you're not scared of me.

00:39:48.280 You're the one that's torturing me.

00:39:50.280 I'm the one that's supposed to be scared of you.

00:39:52.280 What's the problem?

00:39:54.280 He said, listen, I'm here to make with you a deal, an agreement.

00:40:00.280 I'm here to make with you.

00:40:02.280 I'm listening.

00:40:04.280 He said, tell me the name of your friends.

00:40:06.280 I will release you from the prison.

00:40:08.280 You want a brand new car?

00:40:09.280 I give you a brand new car.

00:40:10.280 You want a bigger house?

00:40:11.280 I give you a bigger house.

00:40:12.280 You want money?

00:40:13.280 You want beautiful girls? 1.00

00:40:14.280 Beautiful women? 1.00

00:40:15.280 Whatever you want, I will give you.

00:40:18.280 I tell him, wow, that's really an offer.

00:40:21.280 That's everything any human desire.

00:40:23.280 He said, yes.

00:40:25.280 I told him, okay, I will take the deal.

00:40:27.280 But first of all, you've been torturing me for the last three days.

00:40:30.280 Even if I want to give you the names, I don't have the strength.

00:40:34.280 So go get me dinner first.

00:40:36.280 And after they come back, we'll talk together.

00:40:39.280 He said, whatever you like to eat, I will break it.

00:40:42.280 I told him shish kebab.

00:40:43.280 I don't know if you guys are familiar with that.

00:40:45.280 It's better than McDonald's, trust me.

00:40:47.280 Well, everything is better than McDonald's, but anyway.

00:40:50.280 He went, he bring me dinner.

00:40:51.280 I sat down, I ate.

00:40:52.280 He said, now he tell me the name of your friends?

00:40:55.280 I said, bring me a cup of tea first, and after that we'll talk, man.

00:40:58.280 Come on now.

00:40:59.280 He went, he bring the best cup of tea.

00:41:01.280 I sat down, I drink.

00:41:02.280 He said, now he tell me the name of your friends.

00:41:04.280 I told him, listen, sir.

00:41:05.280 See, I cannot remember all their names.

00:41:11.280 It's a big group.

00:41:12.280 I cannot remember all the names.

00:41:14.280 But I will give you the name of our leader.

00:41:20.280 You can catch him, and he will give you all their names.

00:41:27.280 He said, the leader, I thought that you are the leader.

00:41:30.280 I thought, no, sir, I'm not the leader.

00:41:32.280 I'm just a servant.

00:41:33.280 He said, okay, give me the name of your leader.

00:41:35.280 I thought, in the name of our leader, Jesus Christ, if you can catch him, catch him.

00:41:41.280 Officer number 27, he acted in two actions.

00:41:46.280 Number one, he slapped my face, and he was a strong big man.

00:41:51.280 So when he slapped my face, I hit the wall, really.

00:41:55.280 I always make a joke about it.

00:41:56.280 I always say, it was my first time I fly without aeroplane.

00:42:03.280 It's a brand new meaning for free air miles.

00:42:08.280 Now, many people say, how come you are laughing about it?

00:42:11.280 How come you are joking about it?

00:42:12.280 It's very sad.

00:42:13.280 How come you are joking about your own pain like this?

00:42:15.280 I will tell you why.

00:42:16.280 Because officer number 27, when he slapped me and he tortured me, he thought that I would

00:42:22.280 spend the rest of my life in pain, in shame, in agony, unable to do, unable to love, unable

00:42:31.280 to live.

00:42:32.280 And I'm here to tell you that officer number 27 is mistaken.

00:42:38.280 I can live my life in Jesus' name.

00:42:42.280 I can be healed in Jesus' name.

00:42:45.280 And today I'm standing with Action for Canada event, laughing about it, because officer number

00:42:53.280 27 and the people like him that try to take away our rights can hurt our body, but no one

00:43:00.280 can touch our souls.

00:43:07.280 No.

00:43:08.280 Freedom is a bulletproof.

00:43:12.280 Freedom in Christ is a bulletproof.

00:43:19.280 The second thing that officer number 27 that he took me to another dark room, there was a piece of

00:43:23.280 wooden cross shape, and he tied my neck, my hand, my waist, my leg.

00:43:30.280 I was tied naked on the cross, and he came with a sharp knife, mid-cut in the back of my

00:43:36.280 left shoulder to the bones, and he put salt and lemon in the open.

00:43:53.280 I lost my conscious, I was tied for three days, and how I know is, like two days and

00:44:04.280 half, the reason that I know that is because they always, in the end of every day, they

00:44:09.280 would come and they would ask me if I would speak or not, and I would refuse to speak.

00:44:14.280 I woke up, I found myself in a police hospital.

00:44:18.280 The Egyptian authority wrote a report.

00:44:21.280 I was in a police hospital, a La Guza hospital, and for three months, I was unable to walk.

00:44:27.280 I was unable to move.

00:44:32.280 For three months. 0.67

00:44:35.280 And the Egyptian government during this time wrote a report that I am mentally ill. 0.71

00:44:39.280 And that's how they play this game. 0.98

00:44:42.280 They call you mentally.

00:44:43.280 They call you names to discredit you, to destroy your reputation. 0.99

00:44:49.280 So if they kill you right away, they will make out of you a martyr, a hero. 0.92

00:44:54.280 So what they do, they destroy you first, before they kill you. 0.55

00:44:57.280 So they put me in house arrest.

00:45:00.280 Uh, for, uh, another year before they transfer me to the court martial military court.

00:45:08.280 And the American military court, no lawyer, no, nothing.

00:45:11.280 Is it just a congru court and a sham court.

00:45:15.280 And, uh, and they charged me with three charges that I tried to make a revolution against the

00:45:25.280 Egyptian government.

00:45:27.280 That I tried to change the official religion of Egypt from Islam to Christianity. 0.96

00:45:31.280 And listen to the third charge.

00:45:33.280 That I love and I worship Christ.

00:45:37.280 Charge.

00:45:38.280 That I love and I worship Christ.

00:45:42.280 Now, let me tell you what I told the judges this day.

00:45:45.280 I told them if worshiping Christ is a crime, I am guilty as charged.

00:45:51.280 And if worshiping him is wrong, I don't want to be right back.

00:45:56.280 I received the death penalty.

00:45:58.280 They transfer me back again to my house arrest.

00:46:01.280 The death penalty is supposed to take place in three, four days.

00:46:04.280 That's when they took me.

00:46:06.280 That's when, uh, before they took me to the death penalty, my team that I raised, they

00:46:11.280 attacked the house.

00:46:13.280 They had an, uh, uh, an armed conflict with, with the, the, the, the police forces.

00:46:19.280 And I was able to escape from my house arrest, uh, uh, to Alexandria.

00:46:24.280 And from Alexandria, uh, I escaped the Sinai desert where I hide with the Bedouin family, 1.00

00:46:33.280 with the Bedouin people in the desert.

00:46:35.280 And I crossed the border.

00:46:37.280 And you have to cross that.

00:46:39.280 We have to leave the country.

00:46:40.280 You are in the blacklist.

00:46:41.280 You cannot take your passport and say, well, I'm traveling here or there.

00:46:45.280 Of course you can.

00:46:46.280 Uh, so if you know the map of, of, of Egypt is surrounded by Arab Muslim countries that

00:46:53.280 they have no respect for human rights.

00:46:55.280 The only one country was neighboring to Egypt that have a human rights is Israel.

00:47:00.280 And, uh, I, uh, I, I escaped from Sinai to Taba from Taba. 0.66

00:47:08.280 I stole a jet ski and I crossed the border from Taba to Eilat, where I surrendered to the 0.93

00:47:14.280 Israeli authority.

00:47:15.280 In Israel, because the peace agreement can David, I was in Israel for another one year,

00:47:21.280 three months in the Israeli prison, uh, until the Egypt, until the court, the Israeli court

00:47:28.280 took a decision about me with the Egyptian authority putting a lot of pressure on the

00:47:32.280 Israelis to surrender, to surrender me back again, please. 0.88

00:47:36.280 But the Israeli Supreme Court took my side.

00:47:39.280 The Amnesty International and UNSCR took my side and I was released.

00:47:43.280 And that's when UNSCR give me three options was Canada, Australia, and Denmark.

00:47:50.280 I prayed to the Lord and I said, Lord, which country do I go?

00:47:54.280 And the Lord said Canada.

00:47:57.280 Uh, the Lord forget to tell me is, uh, 20 below zero in the winter.

00:48:02.280 Uh, he forgot to tell me this part, actually.

00:48:07.280 And I just need to tell you something very important.

00:48:19.280 More than 15 years ago, to be exact, 17 years ago, actually.

00:48:24.280 I stood in front of the immigration judge and I swear the oath to become a Canadian.

00:48:32.280 You see, the Egyptian government dropped my citizenship.

00:48:37.280 And at this time I was stateless, a man without a land.

00:48:42.280 And I stood in front of the Canadian judge.

00:48:44.280 And I swear the oath to become a Canadian.

00:48:47.280 And I stand in front of you right now as a very proud Canadian.

00:48:52.280 And sadly, many of us that are born in this land or came new to this land, take this land for granted, does not respect our laws and tradition.

00:49:03.280 And as a new, as a, as a refugee myself.

00:49:06.280 I swear the oath to protect this land was my life.

00:49:09.280 And I will always do for it.

00:49:11.280 Funny story though, when I stood in front of the Canadian judge, the Canadian judge told me, son, what the first thing you want to do as a Canadian.

00:49:18.280 I told him, your honor, I want to drink beer, watch hook and complain about the weather.

00:49:23.280 He said, son, you're a true Canadian.

00:49:25.280 I told him, thank you, your honor, appreciate it.

00:49:31.280 Canada is, is our temple for human rights.

00:49:41.280 Is our boat in the flood, really.

00:49:46.280 Is the conscious and the heart of this world.

00:49:49.280 That's how I see Canada.

00:49:53.280 And that's why I build one free world.

00:49:56.280 To fight against the persecution that happened to the Christians and other minorities around the world.

00:50:03.280 And to be a voice for the voiceless.

00:50:06.280 And we start branches in 28 different countries.

00:50:09.280 As we are talking right now, our team on the ground, helping the believers.

00:50:15.280 In Afghanistan.

00:50:17.280 In, in, in Armenia.

00:50:19.280 In Karabakh.

00:50:20.280 In Sudan.

00:50:22.280 In most of the Arab Muslim countries.

00:50:25.280 In Asia.

00:50:28.280 We are fighting for the persecuted Christians.

00:50:31.280 Everywhere.

00:50:32.280 You maybe don't know that.

00:50:35.280 But the persecution of Christians.

00:50:37.280 Christians is the most persecuted group internationally.

00:50:41.280 But our media does not even allow us to say that.

00:50:44.280 This is not politically correct.

00:50:47.280 There is one persecuted Christian every three minutes worldwide.

00:50:51.280 Just last year, over 165,000 Christians was killed for their faith.

00:50:57.280 And nobody talking about that.

00:51:00.280 There's between 200 to 300 million persecuted Christians worldwide.

00:51:06.280 And we have to take the action to defend them.

00:51:09.280 To rescue them.

00:51:10.280 And to get them out.

00:51:12.280 In Pakistan.

00:51:13.280 In Afghanistan.

00:51:14.280 In Iraq.

00:51:15.280 And in Syria.

00:51:16.280 We are the front line.

00:51:18.280 We went the front.

00:51:19.280 I was almost killed 15 times in the last five years.

00:51:22.280 But I'm still standing by the grace of God.

00:51:27.280 And I will always do.

00:51:32.280 As long as you want me here on this line.

00:51:34.280 And when I'm chosen to join him home.

00:51:38.280 I will be very, very honored and proud to serve him all my life.

00:51:46.280 This will lead us to where we are here today.

00:51:49.280 And why I am a guest speaker in your amazing program.

00:51:59.280 For many years, I warned Canadians that persecution will come.

00:52:03.280 Persecution will come.

00:52:06.280 Some churches used to laugh at me.

00:52:08.280 Some pastors used to laugh at me.

00:52:10.280 Many people don't know that persecution is a promise in the Bible.

00:52:14.280 That's the truth.

00:52:16.280 If you follow me, you will carry a cross on your shoulder.

00:52:18.280 And that's the truth.

00:52:20.280 And I warned that persecution one day will come to North America.

00:52:26.280 This was 20 years, 15, 20 years ago.

00:52:29.280 People used to laugh at me.

00:52:31.280 They said, oh, come on.

00:52:33.280 This will never happen.

00:52:35.280 No, this will happen.

00:52:36.280 This will happen in our lifetime.

00:52:38.280 And the enemy will use politically correctness.

00:52:41.280 The enemy will use politically correctness.

00:52:46.280 Politically correctness is the very cancer in our Canadian and American fabric.

00:52:53.280 And if there is one thing that we have to understand and we have to believe.

00:53:00.280 That the Bible said faith without action is a dead faith.

00:53:07.280 We have to take an action peaceful, legal action.

00:53:14.280 I will repeat again peaceful, legal action.

00:53:18.280 We have to investigate.

00:53:20.280 We have to use the law and the Constitution.

00:53:23.280 We have to understand that you cannot put a pastor in prison, close a church in Canada without investigation.

00:53:37.280 It's our right to investigate.

00:53:41.280 It's our right to hold the government accountable.

00:53:44.280 And you, as a prime minister, by the way, the Bible said that you have to pray for your prime minister.

00:53:50.280 And for your leader.

00:53:51.280 And I do pray every day for Justin Trudeau, by the way.

00:53:54.280 Just FYI.

00:53:55.280 I pray that he will resign.

00:53:57.280 You see, the Bible said you have to pray for your leader, but he didn't say how you pray.

00:54:02.280 So I pray that he will resign every day.

00:54:05.280 And Justin Trudeau and the people like him have to understand that there is accountability.

00:54:12.280 The corruption.

00:54:13.280 Justin Trudeau is the only prime minister that went to the ethnic committee three times.

00:54:20.280 Are we blind?

00:54:22.280 We cannot see what he's doing to this country.

00:54:25.280 We cannot see the corruption.

00:54:28.280 The injustice.

00:54:32.280 The discrimination against the Christians in Canada.

00:54:40.280 His only legacy that he left on Earth to this nation is legalizing the marijuana.

00:54:46.280 So he will shut down the church, but it's okay to be high.

00:54:53.280 Which kind of a prime minister and which kind of us that we remain silent.

00:54:59.280 You see, if you remain silent, you become part of the problem.

00:55:04.280 If you remain silent, you lost your right to complain.

00:55:08.280 No, we have to take an action.

00:55:11.280 And that's why I'm very proud and very honored to join forces with action for Canada.

00:55:18.280 To stand up, to investigate, to bring accountability, and to understand that our nation no longer will remain silent.

00:55:27.280 Because even if you remain silent today, tomorrow, after tomorrow, five years from now, you will not recognize Canada.

00:55:34.280 I am warning you again, as I warned you 20 years ago.

00:55:39.280 If you did not take an action, we are in a crossroad.

00:55:44.280 And if we did not take an action right now, we will lose our Canada, my Canada.

00:55:50.280 Canada that saved my, that God used to save my life.

00:55:53.280 And I am here as a Canadian citizen to tell you.

00:55:58.280 And I'm here as a believer about what I tell you.

00:56:01.280 And this is a message.

00:56:02.280 My last, I know that time has passed, it's my apology.

00:56:05.280 We're taking a long time from you.

00:56:07.280 But there is one last statement that I will say and I will close this up.

00:56:14.280 My message to the Prime Minister of Canada and to every person that caused persecution to the prison, persecution to the Christians and other believers from wherever you are. 0.53

00:56:26.280 I have a message for you.

00:56:31.280 Christians are dying, but they still are smiling. 1.00

00:56:36.280 They are a very deep, dark night, but they will still have the candle of the living God, candle of hope.

00:56:42.280 Believe me when I tell you, believe me when I tell you.

00:56:47.280 You can kill the believers, but you cannot kill the belief of our hearts.

00:56:53.280 You can kill the dreamer, but no one can kill the dreamer.

00:56:57.280 Thank you all.

00:56:58.280 Thank you for having me.

00:56:59.280 God bless.

00:57:00.280 Thank you.

00:57:03.280 Thank you, Majed.

00:57:05.280 Thank you for sharing your story.

00:57:07.280 I know that as I was preparing for you to come on and the action that went out this week, I was watching many videos and many times I was filled with so much emotion because not only over your own testimony, I'd never heard it as in depth of what you had explained tonight.

00:57:22.280 But I know that as you go into these horrific situations in countries that base their belief systems not on the one true God, but another God with a small G-O-D, that these atrocities continue to happen and the media and governments around the world are not talking about it.

00:57:41.280 Much of this, not only do they just go in and murder the men, but it's in some instances, like you said, God, just take me.

00:57:50.280 It's the women and the girls that are being taken into the sex slavery, the nine year old girl that you spoke of that was used and raped 20 times a day.

00:58:00.280 I mean, we're just so grateful for the work that you're doing.

00:58:03.280 And one of the things that I've been endeavoring to do at Action for Canada is to help Canadians understand again that we are not a multicultural nation.

00:58:12.280 We're a nation of many cultures, but that this is a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles, biblical principles, and that this system of governance based on those principles and the rule of law based on those principles truly do set us apart from every other so-called religion around the world.

00:58:29.280 Every other country that is based on some other system of belief where amazing people are living there who would do almost anything to come to Canada to live in freedom.

00:58:39.280 But the one thing in order for us to maintain this freedom is that we need the people that are immigrating to Canada to embrace and assimilate our culture. 0.99

00:58:50.280 They need to assimilate. They need to integrate. Otherwise, it will just be divided from within.

00:58:56.280 And as other cultures come in, it's the extremists that come in with them. 0.99

00:59:01.280 And they're the ones that are vying for position to change our governments from within.

00:59:05.280 They're getting into political positions.

00:59:07.280 So we need to do a lot of work in order to bring awareness as to why people can live in Canada and you can be a non-Christian. 0.93

00:59:15.280 You can practice another faith, but you have the ability to do that because of what the Bible does for you,

00:59:21.280 because of what the God of the Bible and Jesus Christ gives you as far as freedom is concerned.

00:59:26.280 And this is why Christianity is hated worldwide. 0.96

00:59:30.280 And, you know, to hear the testimonies and understand for many years as I've been researching this as well, the Ogun Koya family that you've supported,

00:59:39.280 I became immersed in reporting on what was happening specifically to Christians and the persecution worldwide.

00:59:47.280 And I think that in this last week, the one report I included was that in Nigeria, in the first 200 days of 2021,

00:59:56.280 17 Christians, Christians a day were murdered.

01:00:00.280 And that's only in Nigeria.

01:00:03.280 That's not what's going on worldwide.

01:00:05.280 And so you and I had the opportunity to meet with Pastor Artur last week, who will be on in two weeks, by the way.

01:00:14.280 Pastor Artur will be on the new Power Hour on the 27th.

01:00:17.280 And we heard his testimony firsthand of what he is enduring in a Canadian court.

01:00:24.280 And so it was not to the extent of what you had gone through, but it was far beyond the extent of what I believe any other prisoner in Canada has ever had to endure in this country.

01:00:39.280 It's horrific to think about.

01:00:42.280 So anyways, I just, if anybody, when you, if you have questions, please start raising your hand because Terenzio is going to come on so that you can ask Reverend Majed some questions regarding this.

01:00:54.280 And we just want to open that up.

01:00:56.280 Is there any further comment, Majed, that you would have to say regarding anything that I've just included?

01:01:03.280 My only comment, and I need the people to hear that very well, besides seeking justice as well, never forget, never forget the forgiveness and the grace of God.

01:01:17.280 Yeah.

01:01:18.280 In many ways, in many ways, in the middle of our fight, sometime we forget that also God asked us even to love our enemy.

01:01:29.280 There is no society, there is no community can live an eye by an eye or tooth by tooth or the whole society will end blind and toothless.

01:01:36.280 We have to remember that we have to forgive and love.

01:01:40.280 Never ever in the middle of all of this, make the enemy take away from you, your welcome, loving spirit.

01:01:48.280 Never.

01:01:49.280 Always remain that you are worshiping the God of love.

01:01:54.280 Always.

01:01:55.280 Keep this in mind.

01:01:56.280 Thank you.

01:01:57.280 I will take you the questions and answers so I can leave to my other meetings.

01:02:00.280 So please, any questions and answers, I would love to.

01:02:03.280 Right.

01:02:04.280 I have one before Terenzio brings.

01:02:06.280 We have a number with their hands up.

01:02:08.280 It says, do many of the Muslims in the Middle East know about the persecution of Christians, or are they in denial much like it is here? 0.61

01:02:15.280 No, no, no.

01:02:16.280 They know very well.

01:02:17.280 They know a lot.

01:02:18.280 They know even more than it's been published in the media.

01:02:22.280 Not only that they know it, they become, in many cases, they become the system of it.

01:02:28.280 They become part of the problem.

01:02:30.280 Not only that they know it, they become part of it.

01:02:33.280 Almost in every country, almost in every Muslim country in the world. 0.71

01:02:40.280 I know that, what was the young woman's name in Pakistan, and she was at a well getting water, and some Muslim women had accused her of speaking out against Muhammad.

01:02:54.280 And so she was arrested in prison, put on, given a death sentence in prison for many years.

01:02:59.280 She had, thank you, that's right, Ajit Bibi.

01:03:03.280 And, you know, just, I remember as they, she was given freedom by the judges.

01:03:09.280 And for her to get out of Pakistan, I believe it was the UK was going to take her, yet the Islamists threatened the UK that if you take her, you know, we're going to bring trouble into your country. 0.98

01:03:21.280 They threatened to kill her family, you know, if she left. 0.96

01:03:24.280 And the Islamic community was, rose up so vicious and so threatening within the community, having many, many protests throughout Pakistan. 1.00

01:03:34.280 Absolutely irate at the thought that she was not going to be.

01:03:37.280 We worked on her case.

01:03:38.280 Yeah, we worked on her case.

01:03:40.280 The blasphemy in Pakistan is a major issue.

01:03:43.280 As I said, we have a mission in 28 countries, and we are very happy to report that now she lives in Canada.

01:03:49.280 Yes.

01:03:50.280 I will not be able to release more information about that, just for confidentiality reasons.

01:03:55.280 But we worked on her case, and I'm very glad that now she's free.

01:04:00.280 We worked as well on other, many cases, and we're still working, of course, on many cases.

01:04:05.280 But one of them is Nina, a little Pakistani girl that she was raped when she was nine years old.

01:04:10.280 Sorry, two years old, two years old.

01:04:13.280 Just because her father was a Christian and refused to convert to Islam.

01:04:17.280 And we were able also to rescue her in the front line.

01:04:21.280 I went to the front line myself, and I brought her, and now she lives in Toronto as well.

01:04:25.280 So as I said, I don't give platform to the enemy and his work.

01:04:30.280 I give God all the glory for risking them using us to do that.

01:04:35.280 It's amazing work, and I just want people to get a sense of who you are.

01:04:39.280 Like, we have the legal action with Rocco, which is a constitutional challenge.

01:04:42.280 But we believe that Action for Canada, we need to be addressing the problems we're having in Canada from different directions.

01:04:48.280 The government is throwing it at us from every way, so we're going to hit them back.

01:04:52.280 But I understand that you have an incredible success rate in the work, like hundreds of cases that you've done worldwide,

01:04:59.280 and that you've had good wins on those cases.

01:05:04.280 It's not by might or my power, but by the spirit of the living God.

01:05:09.280 And I'm not planning to hit the government, per se, or hit anybody the opposite.

01:05:16.280 I'm planning to speak the truth and love.

01:05:20.280 We're planning to bring accountability.

01:05:23.280 We're planning to bring justice.

01:05:25.280 We're planning to seek the truth.

01:05:28.280 And we're planning to not let criminals run away with their crimes.

01:05:34.280 Right.

01:05:35.280 So, we are planning to love even our enemy.

01:05:40.280 But we're also planning to speak the truth and seek justice.

01:05:44.280 Right.

01:05:45.280 And you have a tendency to go in on the offensive.

01:05:48.280 You've already won, in a sense, by not going in on the defensive, I believe.

01:05:53.280 Right?

01:05:54.280 We have everything working in our favor.

01:05:57.280 I never use a defense.

01:05:59.280 Let me put it this way.

01:06:00.280 For many of you listening to us right now, you...

01:06:03.280 And Tanya, I think this is one of our first conversations together,

01:06:07.280 when we was putting this campaign together.

01:06:09.280 And I told you that, you know, when you wear the whole armor of God,

01:06:14.280 if you remember all of you, the whole armor of God,

01:06:17.280 the whole armor of God covering every part of your body, except the back.

01:06:23.280 You know why?

01:06:24.280 Because God never meant it for you to run away from your enemy.

01:06:29.280 And we are not running away from enemy.

01:06:31.280 The enemy is not after us.

01:06:33.280 We are after the enemy in Jesus' name.

01:06:35.280 And that's what I do.

01:06:36.280 We're going to face them head on.

01:06:37.280 I love it.

01:06:38.280 Terenzio, would you please bring someone on for a question?

01:06:40.280 Yes.

01:06:41.280 First, we have Cyriel Camblin.

01:06:43.280 I hope I said that right.

01:06:44.280 Next, we have Sandra Gladwish. 0.99

01:06:46.280 So, Sandra, if you can be ready.

01:06:48.280 Cyriel, are you there?

01:06:50.280 Yes.

01:06:53.280 You should see a message pop up on your screen.

01:06:57.280 If you can unmute, Cyril.

01:07:00.280 I don't see any messages, my apology.

01:07:03.280 No, he's not unmuting.

01:07:05.280 Okay.

01:07:06.280 Let's go to the next question.

01:07:07.280 We'll go to the next one.

01:07:09.280 Next, we have Liz.

01:07:12.280 Okay.

01:07:13.280 I just have a question.

01:07:15.280 Are you connected as well with other organizations that are with Persecuted

01:07:20.280 Christian Psych open doors?

01:07:21.280 Do you work with them as well?

01:07:22.280 Or do you just work on your own?

01:07:24.280 And secondly, how can we help people like Pastor Artur to have justice?

01:07:33.280 Yeah.

01:07:34.280 Because writing letters to our MPs is one thing.

01:07:40.280 Would that be effective?

01:07:43.280 So, answering the first part of the question, if we could break with another organization,

01:07:49.280 we could break with many organizations.

01:07:51.280 And we have many friends and many partners around the world.

01:07:54.280 And we love to cooperate with everybody.

01:07:57.280 One of our mandates is to build bridges, not walls.

01:08:00.280 So, we are connected almost with every organization in this method.

01:08:07.280 We are a little bit out of the box.

01:08:10.280 Not a little bit.

01:08:11.280 We are a lot out of the box.

01:08:12.280 So, it's not like I sit down in my office wearing a suit, hiding behind my desk.

01:08:17.280 I'm a frontline guy.

01:08:18.280 And if you went to my website, onefreeworldinternational.org, we have a frontline operation.

01:08:24.280 In April 20, I just came back from Ukraine and Afghanistan.

01:08:28.280 And I'm going back again to Ukraine and Afghanistan to help the believers there.

01:08:33.280 We fight in the frontline.

01:08:35.280 So, it's a little bit different.

01:08:37.280 Our style is a little bit different.

01:08:39.280 Now, how we can help, like Pastor Arshan and many of the pastors, it's not only him.

01:08:45.280 Like, we keep talking only about one pastor.

01:08:48.280 I think, Tania, you, in the last Action Alert that you sent, you put how many names of pastors that was in prison?

01:08:57.280 I believe it's 16 pastors that have either been fined or arrested in Canada.

01:09:02.280 And that's just a short list.

01:09:03.280 There's more.

01:09:04.280 So, it's not just a matter of one pastor.

01:09:07.280 And I want to bring this to your attention, all of you, because Action for Canada and One Free World International is not just looking for one pastor case.

01:09:16.280 We are looking at all of them as a situation here to challenge the government in their decision and to challenge the authority to see if this was genuine arrest or not.

01:09:28.280 This is have a legal ground or not.

01:09:30.280 So, it's very important that we understand that.

01:09:33.280 That is not just a matter of just one issue or one subject.

01:09:38.280 It's all of them.

01:09:39.280 And not only what's happening now is what will happen five years from now.

01:09:45.280 We are trying to prevent a disaster from happening.

01:09:48.280 Because the minute that you remain silent today about just 16 pastor, I can guarantee to you five years from now, this will be 200,000 pastor.

01:09:59.280 You understand what I'm saying?

01:10:00.280 Anyway, how we can help them?

01:10:03.280 Of course, number one, prayers.

01:10:06.280 Never underestimate the power of prayers.

01:10:09.280 Number one, prayers.

01:10:10.280 Number two, write your email.

01:10:13.280 You're a military MP, to the Minister of Justice, to the chief police, to the prime minister, to the deputy prime minister.

01:10:22.280 Never, ever be shy for your voice.

01:10:24.280 Make your voice clear.

01:10:26.280 Now, some people will call you crazy.

01:10:28.280 Some people will call you extremist. 0.99

01:10:30.280 Some people will call you, you know who you are.

01:10:32.280 You know who you are.

01:10:33.280 You know what's inside your heart.

01:10:35.280 The most, as well, very important thing that you have to also write to the media.

01:10:44.280 Don't just go write to your own media.

01:10:46.280 You know what I mean?

01:10:47.280 The media that take your side.

01:10:48.280 No, I want you to write to the extreme left media.

01:10:51.280 You know what I mean?

01:10:52.280 Write to them.

01:10:53.280 Go fight, not only in your land, but fight on their land.

01:10:57.280 Go and tell them, hey, listen, what you are writing is a lie.

01:11:01.280 I know that this is a lie, because one, two, find the facts.

01:11:05.280 Don't just write, don't just yell and scream.

01:11:07.280 No.

01:11:08.280 Find the true facts.

01:11:10.280 Find real facts.

01:11:12.280 Fight by the law.

01:11:14.280 Use their own weapons against them.

01:11:16.280 Use your loving words.

01:11:19.280 Don't use an aggressive words that does not reflect the love of Jesus.

01:11:23.280 Reflect on the love of Jesus in everything you do.

01:11:26.280 But the last action that, of course, is the donations.

01:11:31.280 You have to remember that, you know, to hire our lawyers, to have a media campaign.

01:11:37.280 And Tanya and her group have been extremely generous in order to provide, you know, the financing, in order to hire all of these people.

01:11:46.280 We cannot just, you know, hire these people without, you know, paying them.

01:11:49.280 It's extremely important that we also donate to share, to be part of this fight.

01:11:54.280 I'm done.

01:11:55.280 Thank you.

01:11:56.280 Right.

01:11:57.280 Thank you, Michelle.

01:11:58.280 And something that I want to add, because I'm sure it's on the heart and minds of people, is that we say, well, you know what?

01:12:04.280 We've been doing a lot of writing to MPs and to the media who are all bought and paid for.

01:12:10.280 Action for Canada has notices of liability where people can print it off.

01:12:14.280 And then you take the specific article where a reporter or editor or whomever has been reporting fake news.

01:12:21.280 And then you hold that individual to account with the intention that we are going to be pursuing actions against that specific individual.

01:12:29.280 So it is a process, my friends, that are listening.

01:12:32.280 You just continue to write them.

01:12:34.280 We want them to understand that accountability is coming.

01:12:37.280 So please use the notice of liability that was specifically prepared for the media on any subject coming up.

01:12:45.280 And as Majed just said, it's going to cost money.

01:12:48.280 He has a team of lawyers that he works with.

01:12:50.280 We're very serious about this and addressing this directly with Justin Trudeau and those that are in positions of authority in this country who are giving the thumbs up for this.

01:13:00.280 Your testimony when you were saying that in the history of Egypt that it was a Christian nation and Islam, their objective is to have world dominance. 0.87

01:13:11.280 And they have Canada on their radar as well, my friends.

01:13:14.280 There is a political party in Ontario.

01:13:17.280 The Islamic party of Ontario.

01:13:19.280 We need to shut these things down.

01:13:21.280 They cannot cooperate.

01:13:23.280 Our values don't align.

01:13:25.280 So we've got to fight for the Christian principles in this country.

01:13:29.280 And we've got to maintain them.

01:13:30.280 And we've got to understand that whether, again, you're a Christian or not, your freedom is based on this.

01:13:37.280 It relies on this.

01:13:38.280 All right.

01:13:39.280 Is the UNESCO and Nuremberg edicts declaration regarding rights more effective as we had heard our Constitution has limits?

01:13:49.280 Do you rely on those?

01:13:51.280 My apology.

01:13:52.280 I made the question.

01:13:53.280 Can you please repeat again?

01:13:54.280 My apology.

01:13:55.280 I think it is a matter of their saying that the Constitution seems to have limits.

01:13:58.280 I don't think it does.

01:13:59.280 I think it's that we've got a very corrupt government that's ignoring our charter rights and walking right over them.

01:14:05.280 So they're asking, is the UNESCO and Nuremberg edicts or declarations, do you rely on those at all when addressing these matters?

01:14:15.280 Well, we have a very clever lawyers.

01:14:19.280 Number one, we rely only on God.

01:14:21.280 Number one.

01:14:22.280 Now, all the laws that you just mentioned and all the Constitution, this is our tools.

01:14:28.280 And yes, we do have a Constitution and we do have laws that I personally and I'm sure all of us respect.

01:14:37.280 However, this laws can be challenged, this Constitution can be challenged, and the action that we will be taking, this will be a legal, peaceful action.

01:14:46.280 This is very important.

01:14:47.280 Now, I want to add something on what Tanya just said about Islam and the Muslim community here in Canada.

01:14:56.280 It's very important that we do not lose our sight of that we are a welcoming nation.

01:15:02.280 And it's very important that we understand that we are not here to persecute or discriminate against the Muslims or any other human being or any other minority.

01:15:14.280 Don't forget that you are talking to a man who used to be a Muslim, and it was the grace of God and the love of God and the amazing grace of the Christians that brought me to his grace.

01:15:27.280 And that's what we want to show every community in Canada. As a Christian, your first very duty is to show the love of God and to show the truth and love.

01:15:38.280 But we are talking also, in many cases, when there is extremists that are trying to destroy our culture, trying to destroy our tradition, take advantage of the Constitution, take advantage of our law, of our generosity, of our love.

01:15:58.280 And try to change the fabric of this nation and try to destroy the fabric of this nation and try to destroy the fabric of this nation. 0.52

01:16:04.280 I'm talking about the extremist element. Now, there is also an element.

01:16:10.280 And I'm sorry for taking a long time on that, but because it's a sensitive area and I don't want us to come across like we are discriminating against any group of people.

01:16:20.280 No. We love them and we respect their right.

01:16:23.280 And even if they don't respect our rights back home, we still will respect their rights because we are not extremists.

01:16:31.280 We are not people that live in dictatorship. We are a welcoming nation and we will never respond an eye by an eye, tooth by tooth, or evil by evil or darkness by darkness.

01:16:41.280 No. We respond darkness by light, hatred by love, and evil by the spirit of the living God. That's our Christian duty. But I want to mention to you a situation that happened.

01:16:52.280 When our prime minister indicated that there will be a Syrian refugees coming to Canada, and they will accept up to 40,000 Syrian refugees to come to Canada.

01:17:06.280 I testified in front of the Immigration and Citizenship Committee in front of the Canadian Parliament, where the Liberals, and this is in, this is in YouTube, you can go and see, the Liberals MPs attacked me.

01:17:19.280 And my point was, explain to me why the Syrian refugees, all of them, the majority of them, if not all, 99.9, like, you know, the majority of them, if not all, from the Muslim faith.

01:17:33.280 Where is the Christians? Where is the other minorities? Where is women and children? Like, what's happened to the other minorities? What's happened to the nation that we are here to support the persecuted minorities? Where is that? Why all of them only from one faith? 0.99

01:17:56.280 Now imagine if the Prime Minister brought all of them Christians, oh my God, he will not, he will be fired next day. 1.00

01:18:07.280 The media will tear him apart.

01:18:09.280 So he can bring all the refugees from Syria, all of the Muslims, and forgetting the minorities? 0.98

01:18:15.280 Keep in mind, with my own respect, I'm talking logic here. Once again, we're talking facts.

01:18:21.280 I'm not just saying my opinions, I'm telling you facts. Why the Syrian refugees didn't go to be refugees in another countries where they are similar in culture and religion, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar.

01:18:40.280 Why none of these refugees were settled in any of the Arab Muslim countries, knowing that they share the same culture, tradition, you know, language, food, marriage, whatever it is.

01:19:09.280 Why?

01:19:11.280 And why we're not taking the vulnerable minorities? That's what I'm calling them, vulnerable minorities.

01:19:17.280 And why we're not taking them here in Canada? Because nobody wanted to take them.

01:19:21.280 None of the Arab Muslim countries want to take more of the Christians. 1.00

01:19:25.280 So why we're not taking the vulnerable minorities, whatever the minorities is? Doesn't matter who they are. Doesn't matter what religion they are.

01:19:32.280 Look, look, look how far I'm saying. I'm not saying just Christians. I'm saying vulnerable minorities. Why we're not taking vulnerable minorities, bringing them here?

01:19:42.280 Why the Prime Minister choose to bring the majority, if not all the Syrian refugees from one faith, the Muslim faith?

01:19:48.280 Isn't this injustice? Absolutely. Well, and this is what we were saying.

01:19:53.280 So that's all what I'm saying. That's all what I'm saying. So we have to be careful how we are saying the truth.

01:19:58.280 Well, this is the truth.

01:20:00.280 Yeah. And you had said that political correctness is one of the greatest enemies in Canada.

01:20:07.280 And when I talk about the Islamists, I'm talking not about the moderate Muslim. 0.91

01:20:12.280 I'm talking about the political Islamists that are coming into Canada and trying to change us from within. 1.00

01:20:17.280 And there's a document called the Explanatory Memorandum, and it's from the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:20:22.280 And their plan for world dominance is to enter into Western nations. 0.98

01:20:26.280 And as they say, destroy their miserable house, enter their miserable house from within. 0.99

01:20:31.280 And get into government so that they can start bringing their traditions and their laws. 0.80

01:20:35.280 And they've already made good headway. We have Sharia banking in Canada. 1.00

01:20:40.280 We have Sharia markets in Canada. This is no good. It's not sane. 1.00

01:20:44.280 But the key is they say that multiculturalism is a failure worldwide if the host country's values aren't being embraced.

01:20:51.280 And if we're going to continue to be a beacon of hope for those who are suffering persecution, then we need to protect.

01:20:59.280 We have a right to protect our sovereignty as much as they have a right to protect their sovereignty and their system of faith and belief as well.

01:21:07.280 And that's where political correctness wants to shut up, shut us up, shame us and say, oh, my goodness, don't say that out loud, Tanya.

01:21:14.280 But meanwhile, we're being infiltrated and the most vulnerable in the world are not receiving who are like minded and would integrate and be willing to assimilate with the rest of Canadians.

01:21:26.280 And I think this is something we need to have more conversation about. Let's have one more question.

01:21:32.280 I just want to make a remark that I will have to leave in three minutes. My apology.

01:21:36.280 But please, we can take one final question. Yes.

01:21:40.280 One more question.

01:21:42.280 Terenzio?

01:21:44.280 Okay.

01:21:45.280 All right. Next we have Nathan. Nathan, are you with us?

01:21:50.280 Oh, Majid, so nice to see you.

01:21:53.280 Have you been in contact with any Muslim organizations in Canada? And if so, what is their sense of living with Canadian laws?

01:22:05.280 Did I have been what with Muslim organizations, sir?

01:22:08.280 Yeah, with Muslim or Islamic organizations. Have you been in contact with them at all? And if so, what is their sense of living in Canada with Canadian laws?

01:22:22.280 Well, I mean, we've been, there is many of the minorities like the Ahmadiyyas and the Baha'is and so on and so forth. And even there is women groups. And it's very interesting that the old persecuted, there is no woman rights in the Muslim Arab countries or any Muslim countries to be clear about that. 0.58

01:22:45.280 So I am in touch with some of them, the ones that are willing to speak the real truth and stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder to us. And I can tell you, they are even them, as a Muslim groups, frustrated from the Canadian government. Imagine that.

01:23:05.280 So even the Muslim groups, like the ones that are fighting for women rights, does not understand why nobody talking to the prime minister or the prime minister not talking about women rights in the Muslim countries.

01:23:17.280 So that's just an example from their own community, unhappy about what the prime minister is saying. Anyway, I thank you all for having me. It's a big privilege and honor. Once again, I love you all. And thank you so much for having me. And God bless you all. I'm looking forward to hear from you. God bless you all.

01:23:39.280 Thank you. I'm looking forward to working together with you and we will be keeping people updated as we proceed with strategy. And I believe that we're going to be able to overturn this together. So thank you. God bless you.

01:23:52.280 Amen. God bless you. God bless you. And we'll talk soon. God bless you.

01:23:56.280 Well, wow. That was an amazing testimony. And I just truly believe that it is such an incredible opportunity that I met Majed many years ago fighting on behalf of the Ogun Koya family.

01:24:10.140 Morafat was the single mother that came to Canada fleeing Nigeria for asylum with her three children. And through that process, I happened to meet Majed never, ever considering years ago that we would be in this place in Canada where we would be addressing the persecution of Christians.

01:24:29.340 And so it's going to be an incredible partnership. We are going to work very hard on this important matter. I believe it is one of the most important things that we can be addressing in Canada right now because of the far reaching effects it has that if the government is successful in crushing Christianity in Canada, they therefore then will be successful in crushing the rule of law that was formed through the biblical principles. And we cannot let that happen. 0.80

01:24:59.340 And we cannot let that happen. And we cannot let that happen. And we are going to be fighting very hard against that. So just as an update, I want to let you know that next week, Wednesday, David Lindsay is going to be coming on as our special guest on the empower hour. And many of you know David Lindsay because he is the one that we've been working together diligently with addressing after the notices of liability for those, you know, where they were not having the success, we are moving towards laying private information, which is criminal charges.

01:25:29.320 And we're going to be doing workshops in the fall. And we are proceeding with that. We've been strategizing. I'm not going to give too much away because I know that the government's listening to everything that we're doing, but in the near future, in a month or two, we're going to be able to give you hopefully some exciting news and some updates.

01:25:44.100 But something else that David ends up having a great amount of knowledge on is the history of Canada and certain things that we were founded on. And one is the coronation oath, which was a document, an oath taken by the Queen in 1953, where she swore that Canada

01:26:03.100 and other nations, they're all named in the coronation oath, but Canada is what's most important to us right now, where it would be governed by biblical principles, and that she swore an oath to uphold that Canada would be governed by Christian principles. And because that is a living, breathing, active document, it stands today.

01:26:24.660 And that means that anything, any legislation, any bills that the government is passing, if they are in violation of that oath, which we know they are, and they're already in violation of the Constitution and charter, that means that one day we can have these rescinded and overturned.

01:26:40.660 And so within the coronation oath, and so within the coronation oath, David will be advising you of what your land rights are. There's this huge threat right now by the globalists where they're going to say they can take away your land. No, they can't. And we will not come into an agreement with that. And as I've said for the last two years, even if Trudeau had invoked the Emergency Measures Act, the federal one, which he never did in response to COVID, even if he had, it clearly says that they cannot infringe upon, they cannot

01:27:10.640 infringe on our charter rights, our bill of rights, or any rights. We had the right in the last two years, and we still do, to live our life 100% freely, to be working and providing for our families. But through the coronation oath, David has been putting a presentation together, and we're going to talk a bit about that, because we're going to have another workshop, but I just want him to present and give you a little bit of information, so you're going to want to sign up for that workshop.

01:27:36.860 And the week after, as I mentioned earlier, we're going to have Pastor Artur on. I met with him on Thursday. My heart, my heart was so full to hear what he has endured in 51 days in solitary confinement. And are you aware that putting anybody in solitary confinement, I believe it's past five days, and then they need a review in 15 days, etc., which he was never given, it is considered torture. But there's more to this man's story.

01:28:04.160 I haven't been able to say, I haven't been able to hear, I know that he has spoken with Rebel News and Laura Lynn, I haven't had a chance, but I've heard from him firsthand.

01:28:12.320 And there are other pastors, Pastor Stevens, Pastor Phil in New Brunswick, a lot of you don't know about. We want to make sure that all pastors are represented. We want to make sure that all, not only Christians, all Canadians, who have had to endure egregious violations against their human rights in the past two years, I want to represent them.

01:28:34.860 We are going to represent them. We are going to represent them together. And we are going to come hard and fast at this. We are very serious about this. I'm not going to share the strategies that I've discussed with Majed, but I'm very excited about moving forward with this.

01:28:47.860 Some of you at the beginning, I noticed in the chat, you had some questions regarding the notices of liability that you've served them and on the testing and it didn't work.

01:28:56.680 I hope you're aware that on Tuesdays, I have another program and I meet with business owners, parents, employees, everybody possible can show up to this.

01:29:08.460 And this week, I am going to review again the notices of liability and the other actions that we have available for you. So please make sure you sign up for that.

01:29:18.660 You can go to the Workers Unite page under Join on Action for Canada, drop down to the Workers Unite page, and you will be able to register the link available on that page.

01:29:29.720 So I would encourage you to do that so we can help to facilitate you. And I'm hoping as well that you heard in Richmond, BC, the actual unions were fighting on behalf of the Richmond city workers because they were, I think it was 36 or 38 of them.

01:29:47.320 There was no way they were going to take this job. So they went on, they were forced onto unpaid leave, which is illegal, and they're ending up getting retroactive pay as well as their vacation pay is being returned to them.

01:29:59.720 So there is good things that are happening and we want you to be in the best possible position so that you as well will receive retroactive pay and get your holiday payback and that we're going to continue to apply as much pressure pressure as possible.

01:30:16.220 So I think that's my updates. I hope that you got a lot out of this show. It will be posted in the next couple of days on the Empower Hour page. Please make sure that you share it. We want, we've got 38 million people in this country.

01:30:30.280 We need you reaching out to more and having them join Action for Canada and receiving this information. Please as well ask people to donate to this action. Like I said, the legal action with Rocco is moving forward.

01:30:42.920 This action is taking it from a different angle. We're providing the notices of liability. We're laying private information, which isn't costing people individual, but you have to be in the right mindset as well to be able to take that on.

01:30:56.920 So we're coming at it from all angles. We're excited about this. I believe 100% we're going to win this war. And I believe that Justin Trudeau and all of these premiers and all of these health officers, they're going to jail. All right. And the key is, as Reverend Majed has said, and so many others is keep praying because God hears us. All right. Thank you, everyone. God bless you. And as always, God bless Canada.

01:31:20.920 Thank you, everyone.

01:31:50.920 Thank you, everyone.

01:32:20.900 We are going to be in every town and every city. And we are going to build communities within these communities of like-minded people who are actually going to care for one another again and love on each other and give each other the help when they're down.

01:32:34.640 We are going to be in every town. We are going to be in every town. We are going to use the teams and the people that build within chapters to support our businesses. The government's actions are completely, 100% unlawful.

01:32:49.260 Judgment will again be found on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

01:32:56.180 You have a virtuous heart if you are here today pursuing freedom and righteousness.

01:33:04.080 And then verse 23 comes along with a promise.

01:33:08.780 God says he will turn the sins of evil people back on them.

01:33:13.600 He will destroy them for their sins.

01:33:17.980 I take great comfort in that because I serve a mighty living God who has allowed us to go through this season of discomfort because we as a nation have turned our backs on him.

01:33:34.240 And we need to get right.

01:33:37.060 So I am just going to thank you so much.

01:33:40.760 I'm going to say God bless you and God bless Canada.

01:33:44.480 God bless Canada.

01:34:12.820 God bless Canada.

01:34:13.380 God bless Canada.

01:34:14.040 Thank you.

01:34:44.040 Thank you.

01:35:14.040 Thank you.
