Today is the day when all of the children in Israel head back to school. We pray that this summer break has been full of fun and growth both for the children and their parents. As is every year, families are gearing up again for their kids return to a normal school schedule. It came out in the news today that ISIS affiliates in Gaza claimed a failed rocket launch meant to scare residents on the first day of school. Please pray for protection from any attempt to harm or disrupt the children. We ask for your prayers during this time of preparation for families and kids as they transition to a new year with new teachers and friends. Please also pray for HFI as the return to school means a return of youth to NerYah. Join us in prayer for a graceful transition and a heart that is ready to tackle the New Year with energy, strength and optimism for all that God has planned.
