11/12/08 - English

We pray for the quick cessation of violence around the world especially in Greece, where the confrontations between youth and police led to the shooting of a young boy. We also pray for the women in the conflict zone of eastern D.R. Congo who are helplessly subjected to extreme forms of violence carried out by rebel soldiers.

We pray for all Muslim communities around the world as they celebrate the Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, this week. We pray for the safety of those who celebrate in areas of conflict and tension.

 We lift up the deplorable humanitarian situation in Gaza today due to the ongoing siege. We call upon churches around the world to join together in prayer for all the needy families, for the Christian community living in Gaza, and for organizations struggling to enter Gaza in order to distribute humanitarian aid.


As Christmas approaches, we pray that as Christians, our hearts will be awakened to the needs in our communities. May our prayers and financial contributions make a difference in people’s lives.
