"Iran Attacks Israel With Missiles, as Israel Vows to Respond. Escalation comes days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader and risks a wider war in the Middle East" -Wall Street Journal
3,500+ rockets fired at us. 250 Israelis dead and 1,450+ wounded. Many Israelis have been taken hostage as thousands of Hamas terrorists have stormed across the border into Southern Israel.
Amidst war and terrorism, some of our ministry partners serving in the Middle East are, by God’s grace, seeing a growing and unprecedented hunger for the Gospel.
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Matthew 9:36 The entire Middle East and the Epicenter is weary from war. And yet the harvest is plentiful and ripe even though the laborers in the field are few. There are many pastors throughout the weary, worn and scattered fields of the Middle East that your gifts and prayers are helping to support as they share the love of God with hurting people.
A 6-year-old Syrian boy, fled with his mother, 2 brothers and grandparents to a safe location. Sadly, his father was a casualty of war.
Let’s listen as Joel C. Rosenberg, Founder and Chairman of the Joshua Fund, encourages us to pray for peace.
Please join The Joshua Fund in praying for peace along the border between Israel and Gaza as rocket fire continues to escalate in the region. The Israeli cabinet authorized the call up to 40,000 IDF reservists, preparing for a possible ground invasion of Gaza. Please be praying the Lord would restore calm on the southern border and a new ground war will not be necessary.
