Praises
- Join us in praising God for the increase of families in our churches in spite of the turmoil.
- We give thanks for the faithful witness and service of our Baptist sisters and brothers who are seeking to serve others even in the midst of unimaginable hardship. In partnership with the BWA, the Council of Evangelical Churches in the Holy Land has provided livelihood support and food for more than 100 families living in the West Bank as well as food and hygiene items for hundreds of families who had been sheltering in the Baptist church in Gaza.
Prayer Requests
- Pray for the provision to open a home for orphans and others in need and the opportunity to build the evangelical church presence throughout the region.
- The Baptist church in Gaza has suffered damage from the recent bombings and will require resources to repair and rebuild. Join us as we intercede for peace to reign in the entire region. Join us also in prayer for the Lord’s protection and provision. To learn more about how you can respond in prayer and support, visit our website. We also continue to pray for our other member partners in the region, including the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel.
