Israel Warns Syria:  IDF Chief of Staff, Benny Gantz, warned the Assad regime that if they continue to allow the situation in the Golan Heights to deteriorate, threatening Israel’s security along the Syrian border, that Israel will do whatever is necessary to protect itself.  This came after shots were deliberately fired upon an IDF patrol vehicle along the Syrian border earlier this week.  No one was injured, but the vehicle was badly damaged.  Please continue to pray for the situation in Syria, especially as it continues to get closer to Israel every day.  Please also pray for wisdom for Israel’s military leaders as they face tough decisions every day regarding Israel’s security, and also for His peace to reign in the Middle East!  For more, see Israel Warns Syria

Britain Asks EU to Consider Hezbullah Terror Organization:  The British Foreign Office requested the European Union to recognize the military wing of Hezbullah as a terrorist organization.  This came after confirmation that Hezbullah was behind the bus bombing of Israelis in Bulgaria in 2012.  The EU will discuss the issue in June.  Please pray that finally, the world will recognize Hezbullah for what it really is, and that members of this terrorist regime will be brough to swift justice.  Please also pray that God will frustrate Hezbullah’s plans for harm and that they will know His salvation in Yeshua.  For more, see Hezbullah

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!
