The $20 Million pro-Jesus ‘He Gets Us’ Super Bowl Ads Airing Tonight

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on February 12, 2023

♰ የ፳/20 ሚሊዮን ዶላር የሚያወጣውና ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን የሚያስተዋውቁ፤’እሱ ያገኘናል’ የተሰኙት ማስታዎቂያዎች ዛሬ ማታ በአሪዞና በሚደረገው የአሜሪካ እግርኳስ የመጨረሻ ጨዋታ (ሱፐር ቦውል)ወቅት ይተላለፋሉ።

አንድ የክርስቲያን ቡድን ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን እና እርሱ የያዛቸውን እሴቶች ለማስተዋወቅ በአዲስ ዘመቻ በአጠቃላይ መቶ ሚሊዮን ዶላር ያህል እያወጣ ነው።

የማስታወቂያው ሠሪዎቹ፤ “እውነተኛውን ኢየሱስ በመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ውስጥ እንደተገለጸው ሁሉም ሰው እንዲረዳው እንፈልጋለን፤ የእውነተኛ ይቅርታ፣ የርኅራኄ እና የፍቅር ኢየሱስ” ብለዋል።

💭 ከሆነ በጣም ግሩምና በጎ የሆነ ተግባር ነው። ኢ-አማኒያኑ እና የባዓል-ዋቄዮ-አላህ-ሉሲፈር ጣዖትን የሚያመልኩት ግን ቪዲዮው ላይ እንደተወሳው ብዙ ማጉረምረም ጀምረዋል። እንግዲህ ባለፈው የግራሚ ሽልማት ወቅት ሰይጣንን አስተዋውቀዋል ፥ ታዲያ ተቆርቋሪ መንፈሳዊ ሰው ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን በዚህ መልክ ለማስተዋወቅ ቢሻ ምን ሊገርማቸው ይችላል? ወይንስ ዓለም የእነርሱ ብቻ ናት?!

♰ A Christian group is spending $100 million on a new campaign to promote Jesus Christ and the values they believe he held.

The “He Gets Us” campaign has already started appearing online and will take over billboards and airwaves across the nation with the goal of presenting Jesus in a new light to Millennials and Gen Z, according to Christianity Today.

The group’s TV commercials — including a $20 Million Super Bowl ad, per The Washington Post — and content optimized for other high-profile platforms were created with assistance from Michigan-based marketing agency Haven.

🏈 Super Bowl viewers this Sunday may be surprised to see two ads that don’t seem to have anything to do with Christianity until the end when the words “Jesus” and “He Gets Us” flash across the screen.

The He Gets Us ads running during the Super Bowl, the most watched U.S. event of the year, were created by a nondenominational group to share the message of Christ’s love to whole new audiences.

💭 Here Are 3 Things To Know About The ‘He Gets Us’ Ad Campaign

👉 What is He Gets Us all about?

The two Super Bowl ads created by the campaign will focus on “the behavior Jesus modeled in relationship and conflict,” He Gets Us spokesman Jason Vanderground told CNA.

“Instead of responding to divisiveness in anger or avoiding conflict altogether, Jesus demonstrated how we can and should show confounding love and respect to one another,” said Vanderground.

More than just Super Bowl commercials, the He Gets Us campaign first surfaced in March 2022 and has been causing waves through TV spots, billboards, and digital ads.

Vanderground told CNA the campaign is “a movement to reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible and his confounding love and forgiveness. We believe his words and example offer hope and believe they still have relevance in our lives today.”

The campaign is not about politics, or even a specific church or denomination, say the organizers.

“We simply want everyone to understand the authentic Jesus as he’s depicted in the Bible — the Jesus of radical forgiveness, compassion, and love,” the He Gets Us website says.

According to an official He Gets Us partners website, the campaign has reached 431 million YouTube views, connected 113,923 people to churches, and has 19,501 churches involved.

Those numbers are before this Sunday’s Super Bowl ads aired which are expected to reach an audience of close to 100 million.

👉 Who created He Gets Us?

According to Vanderground, a group called HAVEN, a creative hub and marketing resource, is the lead agency behind He Gets Us.

“What began as a campaign to answer the question, ‘How did history’s greatest love story become known as a hate group?’ has quickly grown into a movement,” said Vanderground.

He Gets Us is also an initiative of the Servant Foundation, which is managed by the Kansas-based foundation and donor-advised fund The Signatry.

Founded in 2000 by Kansas philanthropic adviser Bill High, The Signatry has received over $4 billion in contributions and has helped make more than $3 billion in charitable grants, its website says.

According to its website, The Signatry funds “discipleship and outreach efforts, Bible translations, cultural care, church plants, anti-human-trafficking missions, student ministries, poverty alleviation, clean water initiatives, and so much more.”

👉 Who sponsors the He Gets Us Super Bowl commercial?

The campaign is quiet about its specific donors, saying most of its sponsors “choose to remain anonymous.”

Hobby Lobby co-founder David Greene announced in November that he is one of the campaign’s major donors. Greene was confirmed to be one of the campaign’s major donors by Vanderground.

“We are wanting to say—we being a lot of people—that he gets us,” said Greene. “He understands us. He loves who we hate. I think we have to let the public know and create a movement.”

French Tennis Star Gael Monfils Blames Booster Shot For His Health Problem Resulting in Withdrawal from Tournament

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on February 23, 2022

On Tuesday, French Number One tennis star player announced his withdrawal from next week’s tournament after suffering a potential adverse reaction following his Covid-19 booster shot.

Gael Monfils, 35, announced his withdrawal from next week’s Davis Cup on his social media account due to health problems.

“Hello everyone, I wanted to give you some news following my recent withdrawals from tournaments. I suffered a minor health glitch (probably following my third dose of vaccine),” Monfils revealed on his Twitter account.

“On the advice of my doctor, I have decided to take some time to rest. Unfortunately, I will not be able to play the Davis Cup next week,” he added.

“I hope to be able to return to the United States,” Monfils concluded.

The 2022 Davis Cup World Group I Playoffs will be held on a home-and-away basis on March 4-5, 2022.

It can be recalled that another tennis player, Jeremy Chardy, developed a ‘series of problems’ after getting vaccinated. The 35-year-old player said he regretted taking the Covid-19 vaccine.

Monfils’ decision to take his third shot might be a result of the government’s tyrannical regulations to deactivate the vaccine passports of residents who have not taken the booster shot.

TGP previously reported that the French Government began deactivating the vaccine passports of nearly four million double-vaxxed citizens because they still have not taken the booster. Individuals who have had their passes taken away will effectively be relegated to unvaxxed status and no longer be able to engage in most aspects of society.

Although some are willing to take the booster, most were caught completely off-guard when they checked their app and found their privileges had been revoked.

Romania’s Most Famous Football Team, Steaua Bucharest, Announce a Ban on VACCINATED Players

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on February 23, 2022

If it’s Good Enough for Owners to Ban Non-Vaccinated Players it Should Be Good for This…

💭 የሮማኒያ በጣም ዝነኛ የእግር ኳስ ቡድን ስቴዋ ቡካሬስት የኮቪድ ክትባትን የተከተቡ ተጫዋቾች ላይ እገዳ መጣሉን አስታወቀ። የቡድኑ ባለቤት አቶ ጂጂ ቤካሊ ባካሄዱት ጥናት መሠረት የእግርኳስ ተጫዋቾቻቸው ከተከተቡ በኋላ ‘ጥንካሬ ያጣሉ’ አንዳንዶቹም በሆስፒታል ውስጥ እንደሚሞቱ ተናግረዋል።

Romania’s most famous football team, Steaua Bucharest, announce a ban on VACCINATED players, because their madcap owner says that athletes ‘lose strength’ – and claims those that are jabbed die in hospitals.

  • Mr Gigi Becali believes players vaccinated against coronavirus are ‘powerless’
  • He claims players at Steaua Bucharest and rival clubs are struggling after taking the vaccine
  • The Romanian businessman singled out 36-year-old winger Ciprian Deac as an example of vaccine allegedly affecting older players
  • Becali also recently said Steaua Bucharest striker Claudiu Keseru can no longer play at a high level
  • His latest statement has drawn a furious reaction from the country’s government
  • Romania’s vaccination rate of 86.52 doses per 100 population means they have the second lowest in Europe

The owner of Romanian side Steaua Bucharest has sensationally announced the club will ban all players vaccinated against Covid-19 from playing for them.

Mr Gigi Becali – a Romanian businessman and politician – said he is not allowing vaccinated players to play anymore because they are ‘powerless’.

Becali went on to claim that people who are vaccinated against the virus die in hospitals, as opposed to those who have refused the jabs.

He also claimed players at Romanian rivals CFR Cluj and Rapid Bucuresti were struggling as a result of taking the vaccine, singling out 36-year-old winger Ciprian Deac.

‘You’re going to laugh, but I might be right. Those vaccinated lose their strength. That’s something scientific,’ he said according to Romanian journalist Emanuel Rosu.

‘Haven’t you seen it at CFR? With Rapid, the players seemed to be fainting. They slept on the ground. All vaccinated people lose their strength!

‘I also see mine, the vaccinated ones. It doesn’t affect some, but it does affect those who are older. Haven’t you seen [Ciprian] Deac? There is no more storm.’

The same journalist also said Becali suggests he only allowed players who faked getting vaccinated to play, though this information remains unconfirmed.

Becali also recently said Steaua Bucharest striker Claudiu Keseru- who returned to the club in August after six years at Bulgarian outfit Ludogorets – can no longer play at a high level because he was vaccinated.

‘I gave him the money, I had a contract with him, he was a football player, I was the owner,’ Becali said via sport.ro about Keseru’s return.

‘I said, ”You can’t go to this level anymore. You can play in Romania, but not at FCSB (Steaua Bucharest) and CFR!”.

‘He said he would show me, but he has nothing to show me. It can’t be at this level anymore. It’s possible because of the vaccine. I say what I think. I don’t want to offend him.’

But his latest statement has drawn a furious reaction from the country’s government.

In a statement, RO Vaccinare, the official Facebook page of the government’s national information platform on vaccination said: ‘Vaccinated footballers do NOT lose their strength after being vaccinated against COVID-19!

‘From a medical and scientific point of view, there are no studies that would support a singularity like the one recently promoted on Facebook accounts in Romania.

‘Vaccination against COVID-19 does not affect the performance of football players. In contrast, there are enough studies showing that going through SARS CoV-2 infection leaves long-term sequelae (Long COVID), and these can influence athletes’ performance.

‘The bottom line is simple: to stay healthy, to enjoy football, to look at those who trust science and medicine. Please inform yourself ONLY from credible, official sources!’

Journalist Grigore Cartianu meanwhile added via sport.ro: ‘From my point of view, if I were to make a top 10 of the stupid and vile statements of the century – I’m not saying that man is like that, but the statements… the statement is stupid, incorrect, miserable and discriminatory.’

Romania are one of eight countries with a vaccination rate below 60 percent according to The Local, with the other consisting of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Russia.

However, their current rate of 86.52 doses per 100 population means they have the second lowest in Europe, ahead of only Bulgaria, according to Statista.

Earlier this month, the coordinator of the Romanian national vaccination campaign, Valeriu Gheorghita, confirmed nearly one million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, had expired and would therefore be destroyed.

‘We have received a total of 4,478,000 doses, and 852,356 doses have been administered. Some 3.3, entered the resale or donation mechanism, including the 917,800 that have expired,’ Gheorghita explained.
