By God's love and grace, we are rejoicing with Sara and Rozhgar who are about to return home after successful heart surgeries.
Please join The Joshua Fund in praying for the people of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq as the escalating violence in Syria has inflamed tensions in Lebanon and throughout the region.
We ask you to join The Joshua Fund in praying for the people of Syria as the atmosphere is increasingly hostile toward the country’s Christians. Please pray for peace in the region, and for the basic needs of the people, for food, water and shelter amid the violence that increasingly is targeted toward Christians.
We know our Lord loves the people of Iraq and we ask you to join The Joshua Fund in praying for the people of Iraq as violence escalates in their homeland. Please pray for peace in the region, and for the basic needs of the people, for safety, food, water and shelter in this war-weary land.
While our hope and expectation is not tied to our political leaders, but to God, we are also exhorted in Scripture to pray for our leaders and therefore we encourage you to join The Joshua Fund in praying for world leaders as they are gathered in New York at the United Nations. Join us in asking for the Lord’s wisdom and guidance in this fragile world environment.
As he traveled the streets of the imposing city delivering God’s message, the prophet Jonah must have been intimately acquainted with fears, threats and dangers. Yet, he brought bold warning...
The church in Iraq has transitioned from tolerated to targeted, coming under constant attack the last several years.
Several years ago the Lord opened wide doors of ministry for The Joshua Fund to come and stand alongside the Church in Iraq...
Please pray for several training conferences that will be taking place in Egypt and Iraq during the summer and fall of 2011.
Please pray for Iraqi Christians, who are experiencing a surge in persecution directed at them. Several reports tell of Christians being murdered in their homes; of believers fleeing to other cities or leaving Iraq altogether; of people receiving death threats; of Christians being forced to abandon school, work, or other activities.
The Joshua Fund continues to bring Iraqi children to Israel for life-saving heart surgery. One recent example was Aram, an 18-month-old boy. Please pray for this dear little child and his family. Aram was petrified of the hospital when he first arrived. He screamed and cried during the admittance procedures. Aram was then called to have his surgery ahead of other children only three days after arriving. This was unusual, and meant that his heart condition was so bad that the doctors wanted to proceed immediately. His mother, Shownim, was understandably concerned for her son.
The church is passing through real persecution, dead threats are dropped in many churches; houses and Christians’ groups. the tragedy on the church Sunday 31/10 (53 killed and +77 injured and hundreds left with life truma of fear; panic and grief), was not the first but one of those events. Yesterday 3 houses were bombed, 4 killed and +26 injured.
