I am not sure what my condition will be as far as WiFi goes but stay posted and keep telling your friends about RPM Daily. Get your day up and running the God way. Subscribe for this Blog to come to your mailbox via email Monday through Friday at 9AM. I take you with me on my journeys, share with you what I am learning from God and even share some private moments with you about my family and my personal growth. Sometimes I review a book. Other times I may give you a teaching on a subject. However, one thing you can count on, you will never be bored.
This month at our WOW meeting we are reading a new book by Rachel Hollis called, "Girl, Wash Your Face". It is a very different book from what I usually read but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. So, when I get back from Armenia I hope you will join me as I share on what God did in Armenia and what we are learning from the book.
The first church in the world was built in Armenia . Holy Etchimiadzin was the first state church built in the world back in the early 4th century. This place is also the headquarter of all the churches in Armenia and it’s one of the most visited pilgrimage site in the world. Unfortunately this beautiful building has been under construction for the past few years and we were unable to capture a nice shot of it.
An estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed during the Genocide. The genocide refers to the mass killings of Armenians that began under Ottoman rule in 1915. Coincidentally, this year 24th April 2015 marks the 100th year anniversary of the genocide. The Genocide museum was closed for a year for thorough restoration and will only be opened 2 days before its 100th anniversary. The genocide happened during and after first world war where more than 1.5 million Armenians were brutally killed without any mercy by her enemy. The genocide happened in 3 phases, the first was when all the men were being called out to join the army and then killed (so that the rest of the population will not have any males to protect them), then next was the killing of all women, elderly and children, and the last was the intellectuals.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING MORE WITH YOU AS I LEARN MORE ON MY VERY FIRST TRIP TO ARMENIA.
