Please keep Maron Halifah, a 34-year-old Christian resident of Haifa in your prayers as he makes Israeli history. For a long time the tensions in Israel have made it challenging to get Arabs into positions of authority in Israeli government jobs. Pray that he will maintain integrity as he walks boldly in his new role. He has been assisting Israeli government leaders such as Shimon Peres since 2005. Pray for fearless discernment as Maron steps out of his previous role as an assistant to government leaders and into an important position of leadership within Israel.
