Middle East: desperate for peace

14 November 2024

Mission partner H working across the Middle East asks that we continue to pray over the situation in Gaza. So much infrastructure has been destroyed, so many people have been killed and there is still no resolution in sight. People are on alert 24 hours a day, unable to sleep due to the constant threat of bombing. Pray for people to turn to Jesus in their desperation and find the supernatural peace only he can give. Pray for God to move the hearts of key leaders and bring about the conversations that are needed to bring peace to the Middle East.
