GLENN BECK ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP TO SAVE CHRISTIANS FROM SLAVERY
Glenn Beck’s Nazarene Fund names Operation Underground Railroad Founder as CEO to rescue Christians and other religious and ethnic minorities from terrorists in Middle East and around the world
Salt Lake City, UT - The Nazarene Fund, an organization dedicated to rescuing, rebuilding and restoring the lives of Christians and other religious minorities from terrorist-controlled regions of the world, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, has announced a new partnership with Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) and its CEO Tim Ballard. O.U.R. seeks the protect and rescue the world’s most vulnerable children from sex trafficking.
Nazarene Fund Founder Glenn Beck has officially installed Tim Ballard as CEO of the fund to join the efforts of both organizations. By combining the efforts of both organizations under Tim’s guidance, the partnership aims to bring liberation wherever there is slavery, comfort where there is persecution, and wherever hope has died, it will resurrect it. As CEO of both, Tim can ensure the alliance works as closely and efficiently as possible.
“Trafficking and terror are only growing throughout the world. Millions of captive men, women and children need to be liberated,” said Tim Ballard, CEO of both Operation Underground Railroad and The Nazarene Fund. “By expanding our mission to include running two separate organizations with similar but different missions and specialties, we will be able to rescue and restore more people. And that’s always the first and last question we ask ourselves: How can we rescue and restore more suffering people? This is the answer.”
Glenn Beck, founder of Mercury One and The Nazarene Fund said of the expanded mission and mandate, “We really ask for your prayers as we work to cut the heart out of the darkness in the Middle East and across the globe. With your help, we can change the world.”
The Nazarene Fund aids in the restoration of Christians and other persecuted religious minorities and their communities who have been targeted by ISIS for their faith. This initiative marks a new era for The Nazarene Fund as it expands its reach globally.

Utah Division of Water Resources to Announce 2017
H2Oath: Utah’s Water-Wise Pledge Competition Winner
When
Thursday, November 30, 2017, from 10 to 10:30 a.m.
What
Utah Division of Water Resources, Director Eric Mills, will announce the winner of H2Oath: Utah’s Water-Wise Pledge University Water War at Weber State University, Thursday, November 30, 2017. The division of water resources estimates that H2Oath commitments taken thus far could conserve water in Utah to the tune of tens of millions of gallons. Weber State University will be awarded a $5000 scholarship.
Why
Between drought and population growth, Utah needs to use water wisely. Ordinary precipitation will not correct the long-term drought conditions Utah has been experiencing for the past several years. Runoff and river flow conditions are expected to be below average as dry soil conditions require more moisture. Utah’s population is projected to increase substantially by 2065. Meeting future needs will require additional conservation. As Utahns work toward reaching Governor Herbert’s goal to conserve 25 percent more water by 2025, we applaud Utahns for their water-wise efforts. We also recognize more needs to be done.
