US Naval Ships Dispatched Towards Syria:  The Pentagon has dispatched several US Naval ships to the Mediterranean in response to last week’s chemical attack in Syria.  This is a significant shift in the US’s policy towards getting involved in the Syrian civil war, which has destroyed the country in the two years of fighting. It could also signal some serious problems for Israel if an all-out war ensues, possibly bringing on a World War 3.  Please intercede for the situation in the Middle East, especially as it will ultimately affect every person throughout the world if a World War ensues.  Please pray for great wisdom for the Obama & Netanyahu administrations, as well.  For more, see US Response to Syria

UK Islamic Station Fined for Incitement to Kill:  For the first time, a UK Islamic TV station has been fined over $130,000 in response to comments on a program to kill anyone who insults the Prophet Mohammed.  This is a very important step in curbing the radical nature of many Muslim programs, of which many make similar statements about non-Muslims.  Please continue to pray that as Islam grows and tightens its iron grip throughout the world, that believers in Messiah Yeshua will gain boldness in our witness and for a great move of salvation in the Muslim world.  For more, see UK Fines TV Station

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!
