We pray for Bethlehem Bible
College, its staff, and especially the organizers of the upcoming “Christ at
the Checkpoint” conference. Riddled with
scathing and inaccurate criticism from right-wing Jewish and Christian
Zionists, the grinding work of conference preparation continues. We pray that
God would be sovereign over every detail of the conference, bringing people
from all walks of life together to hear the Good News! Lord, in your mercy…
We pray for the congregation of
the Narkis Street Baptist Church as they recover from the recent offensive
graffiti they found on their building last week. The attack on them is the
latest in a series that bears the slogan “Price Tag” and has targeted primarily
Muslim places of worship, Christian institutions, and leftist organizations. Christians are increasingly feeling under
pressure in Jerusalem; priests who pass through the Jewish quarter report
near-daily incidents of being spat upon.
We pray that the people of the holy city of Jerusalem will be able to respect
one another’s faith. Lord, in your mercy…
We pray for upcoming Sabeel
programming. On March 1st, Sabeel Jerusalem and Al-Liqa Center will
host an interfaith gathering for the series “Living Together,” in Nablus. Sabeel Jerusalem will have a children’s
program about Lent. And we pray for
staff as they prepare for this, and for the upcoming Swedish Sabeel conference,
March 25th - 29th in Bethlehem. Lord, in your mercy…
We give thanks for the work of
volunteers at Sabeel. Particularly this week we are grateful for the work of
Marlijn from the Netherlands, and Olivia from Sweden. They contributed an
immense amount of creativity and positive energy to the Sabeel Jerusalem office
during their stints. We wish them the best in their next journey, praying for
God’s provision and direction for their lives.
Lord, in your mercy…
With the World Council of
Churches, we specifically pray for the churches and populations of France and
Germany. Lord, in
your mercy…
