White House Awaits Congress Vote on Syria:  Tomorrow, Monday, September 9, will be an historic day in the American Congress.  The congress will vote whether or not to approve an American strike on Syria in response to the Syrian regime’s chemical attack on its own citizens weeks ago.  Either way, the vote will have serious ramifications throughout the world, and especially for Israel.  Please intercede on behalf of the USA and Israel in this time!  Please pray for God’s perfect wisdom for both governments, and for courage to act as God would have them act.  Please also continue to pray for the Syrian people as they face more death and destruction at the hand of dictator Bashar Assad.  For more, see Syrian Strike

EU Reps to Visit Places Hurt by Boycott in Israel:  In an attempt to calm fears of Israeli companies hit hard by the EU boycott of July 2013, the EU is sending a delegation to Israel.  The delegation will also consider ways they can continue to engage in such entities that have previously received EU funding.  Please pray that as such boycotts will only grow in both number and intensity, that Israel will learn to look to our ultimate provider, the LORD.  Please also pray that people throughout the world will see that those who bless Israel will in turn be blessed!  For more, see EU Delegation

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…
