He also addressed the educational loss during the Pandemic, and the difficulty in getting a non-smart cellphone. Ruth Kramer of Mission Network News (https://www.mnnonline.org/) , updates us on the situations in Lebanon whose people could be dragged into the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as the increase in human trafficking of children and women in the wake of a Nepali earthquake.  Ruth addresses the need for Christians to not turn way and let their hearts grow cold in the wake of bad news.
