Globe Trot: Belgian attack victim had recently confessed Christ


BELGIUM: Bart Migom, the 21-year-old Belgian still missing after Tuesday’s terror attacks, had recently become a Christian, according to sources in Belgium who attended church with the Migom family, part of Belgium’s small evangelical community. Migom was heading to the Brussels airport for a trip to the United States to visit his girlfriend, Emily Eisenman of Georgia.

At least two Americans died in this week’s terror attacks in Brussels, a U.S. official said today as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with leaders in Belgium. Islamic State’s latest video triumphs over the Brussels attacks using remarks by Donald Trump.

BREXIT: How terrorism plays into the important debate in Britain over leaving the European Union will be worth watching, with a vote scheduled for June 23. Here’s a good overview of what’s at stake.

MIDDLE EAST: We’ve tried but so far failed to confirm this report from Wycliffe Associates of four translators martyred in the Middle East (location unnamed). If true, it’s notable.

KENYA: Eye in the Sky is not so much a critique of modern warfare as it is a rich, complex, panoramic discussion about the price of security. Worth the price of admission, perhaps, just now.

GOOD FRIDAY: March 25 was considered to be the historical date of the Crucifixion. It happens only a handful of times in a century, and won’t occur again until 2157. Happy Easter. Christ has overcome the world.
