CEN ACTIVE Threat News


CEN’s Threat Information News Service (CEN TINS) provides timely actionable situational awareness with a Christian worldview highlighting 

how God’s peace brings stability even threats to Christians increase. He’s calling Christians to readiness for such a time as this! Don’t stand alone. We are stronger together! 


The killing of Christians internationally is up 60% in the past year; a strong military presence remains in Washington D.C. with U.S. troops deployed in state capitals; inflammatory “ridiculing and marginalizing”rhetoric is being fueled against Christians in all forms of media; and there is a sharp rise in arson and bomb threats to local churches being reported in open source news. These and other threats against Christians are troubling. Yet, we take comfort in the words of Our Lord when He told the sea: “Be Still”. God’s Word gives us a pathway to calm the raging waters, have joy in the midst of chaos, and stand ready to give a Hope-filled answer when asked: “Where is God in this?” I Peter 3:15
