We devoted our time to worship and prayer for Israel. 140 were in attendance and it may have been the most important service we conducted all year. The worship was God centered; everyone was focused on interceding for Israel and the Jewish people. and the videos were moving and inspiring.
I invite you to not only view the service, but to use it as a means to continue to lift up your voices in prayer to our God and King in light of all that is developing in Israel and the Middle East.

Let us not lose hope, and let us not grow weary in praying for the rescue of the hostages, comfort for the sufferers, victory for Israel, protection for Jewish people in the face of worldwide anti-Semitism, and the elimination of the perpetrators of evil and wickedness. Continue to pray that:
* The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Reservists destroy Hamas, and are victorious against all her enemies;
* The hostages are safe and will be rescued, and that their family members are strengthened and comforted;
* Civilians in Israel and that innocent civilians in Gaza are safe, and those who have be wounded would recover;
* Gaza would be free of Hamas and that Palestinians there would be liberated and restored to their homes;
* President Biden and his administration would remain supportive of Israel, and that our troops would be safe;
* Jewish people around the world would be safe and secure;
* And finally, that Messiah Yeshua would soon return and establish his kingdom.
