Russia to Sell Missiles to Syria: Israeli intelligence has discovered that Russia is making a deal to sell advanced weapons to Bassad’s regime in Syria. This is troubling for a few reasons, but for Israel it is especially troubling considering Syria is a hostile neighbor. Things between Syria & Israel have recently heated up in light of Israel’s attack on a weapons convoy headed from Syria to Lebanon. Please pray for God’s hand of mercy over Israel and her people, especially as things heat up with Syria. Please pray for His protection over Israel’s border with Syria, especially the Golan Heights.

Livni & Kerry Meet in Rome: Justice Minister Tzipi Livni met with Secretary of State John Kerry in order to further discuss the resurrection of talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Kerry has made this a top priority on his agenda since becoming Secretary of State in January, and things seem to be moving quite quickly in order to see this come to fruition. Please pray for wisdom for Israel’s leaders, as we know that great judgment will come to those who divide God’s land (Joel 3). Please also pray that those countries putting great pressure on Israel to concede her security for a Palestinian state will see the error of their ways and stop immediately.

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! Shabbat shalom…
