British Envoy Attacked at University in Ramallah: The British Consul, Sir Vincent Finn, was planning to give a lecture at Birzeit University outside Ramallah when he was confronted by angry protesters. Protesters were yelling for him to get out and prevented him from getting to the university and giving his lecture. Please pray for the Palestinians to experience God’s peace and to turn to Him as the only true peace solution. Please pray that such violence and hate would not continue and that all innocent would be protected. Lastly, please pray that righteous and just leaders would begin to stand out and speak against violence and show support for truth. For more, see British Envoy Attacked
Israel Warns Syria War Could Spill Over Borders: Israel has warned the UN that the conflict in Syria could potentially spill over into Israel. UN Ambassador Ron Prosor warned that Jerusalem cannot just sit silent while being threatened. Shells from the Syrian government have been landing within Israel’s borders, mostly in open areas, likely intended for rebels but misfired. Israel is also worried about chemical weapons ending up in the hands of Hezbollah and about refugees attempting to enter. Please pray that Israel would remain protected from the instability that is happening in Syria. Please also intercede for the Syrian people, that God would heal them and comfort those who have experienced loss. Pray that the Syrian believers would be like lighthouses, shining their lights in the midst of a sea of darkness and violence. Lastly, please pray that the Israeli leaders would have wisdom in any decisions regarding Syria. For more, see Syria Conflict
Please continue to pray for the Body of Messiah in Israel as Israel is facing uncertain times; 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 and standing with Israel! Shevuah Tov…
