Calls Within Egypt to Cancel Peace Treaty:  The Tamarod (Rebellion) Movement in Egypt has called for Egypt to cancel its peace treaty with Israel.  While this is a minority within the population, it is the beginning of what will most likely become a vocal majority as the chaos deepens in Egypt.  The group is also gathering signatures for a petition to refuse US aide to Egypt after Obama cancelled joint military exercises between the USA and Egypt.  Please pray that as we see Israel becoming increasingly isolated in the world, that Israel will stand firm and that we will seek our only King, the LORD, for wisdom in these times.  Please also pray that Israel’s government will act wisely as new developments continue to take place.  Lastly, please pray for a great revival in Egypt and for boldness for Egypt’s believers in Yeshua.  For more, see Egyptian Rebellion

Polio Virus Spreading in Israel:  The wild polio viral strain is spreading in Israel.  The initial virus was found in Arab and Bedouin communities in May and there has been an active vaccination campaign ever since.  Please pray for God’s protection over Israel from this disease, which can cause paralysis or even death.  Please pray that He will keep all children safe from harm in the Land, Jew and Arab alike.  For more, see Polio Virus

Please continue to pray for the Body of Messiah in Israel as the time of the tribulation draws near; please pray we will be a great source of blessing to all Israel and that through our witness, many in Israel will come to know their Messiah.  Please pray for strength, courage, gentleness, and boldness in our witness to our neighbors who do not yet know Yeshua.

Thank you for praying! Have a blessed week…
