IDF Deploys Iron Dome near Haifa:  In response to the deteriorating situation in Lebanon and Syria, the IDF has put the Iron Dome battery on location near Haifa, just in case attacks come upon Israel.  The apparatus is always on guard since Israel is always under potential attack from her hostile neighbors.  Please continue to pray for Israel to be prepared in the event of attacks, and to not be caught off guard.  Please also pray for our Defender, God Almighty, to keep Israel in His hands, and that many will put their trust in Him.  For more, see Iron Dome in N.Israel

Violent Protests in Israeli Arab Community:  Hundreds of Israeli Arabs protested the demolition of a home built illegally in the community of Wadi Ara in northern Israel.  The protest grew violent and clashes with the police ensued. This could be the beginning of more such protests as tensions between Israeli Jews and Arabs continue to rise due to many various issues.  Please pray that these tensions will calm down, and especially that God will protect us all from a 3rd Intifada (Palestinian uprising).  Please also pray that we will find our peace in Messiah Yeshua, as He is our only hope for peace between Jew and Arab. For more, see Wadi Ara Riots

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! Shabbat shalom…
