Teen Stranded at Sea for 49 Days Turns to the Bible and Prayer to Survive

(Worthy News) – A 19-year-old boy who was stranded at sea for seven weeks said, he survived by reading his bible and heeding the advice of his parents to pray.

Indonesian teen Aldi Novel Adilang was set adrift in the Pacific Ocean while working as a lamp keeper on a floating fish trap some 80 miles off of the coast of Indonesia. Adilang had worked as a lamp keeper for three years, continuously lighting the traps lamps to attract fish. Once a week his company would come out to the floating trap to collect the fish and restock Adilang’s hut with food, water and fuel.

In Mid-July, however, everything changed. Heavy winds shook the fish trap, known locally as a rompong, and snapped the moorings that held it stationary, casting him adrift. Over the next 49 days, Adilang would drift thousands of miles from home headed toward Guam, with no paddle or engine. [ Source: Christian Headlines (Read More…) ]

Netanyahu: We’ll keep hitting Iran in Syria even with S-300s

(Worthy News) – The IDF will continue to strike at Iranian targets in Syria, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday, one day after Russia announced plans to bolster that country’s defenses by transferring the advanced S-300 anti-missile system there within two weeks.

“We give full backing to the IDF in its actions to defend the state. We will continue to take action to prevent the establishment of an Iranian military presence in Syria,” he said.

Netanyahu spoke before departing for New York, where he plans to meet with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly for what will be their fifth face-to-face encounter. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
