Major Labor Strike On the Horizon:  There is a major strike looming in Israel over the proposed opening of two privatized ports in Israel.  Ofer Eini, the head of the Israel Labor Union, has threatened to call a countrywide strike in protest of the ports, which would bring some healthy business competition to the Israeli economy.  Please pray for this potential strike to be held back as it would cause more stress to the already stressed social and economic situation in Israel.  Please also pray for wisdom for Israel’s leadership as they navigate this situation.  For more, see Israeli Labor Strike

Ramadan Begins: The Muslim Fast of Ramadan begins on Monday, July 8th; it is a month-long fast for Muslims around the world.  It is also a time when potential unrest can happen in the Middle East, especially within Israel.  Please pray for this time, that many Muslims throughout the world will receive revelation of Yeshua as their Savior.  Please also pray for a time of peace and rest during the fast, especially within the Middle East. 

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…
