Update from the West Bank

The devastation from the war between Israel and Hamas has caught our attention, concern and prayers for the past two years. What can be missed are the thousands of Palestinians who are innocent of the crimes of Hamas and lost in spiritual darkness. One small church in the West Bank, faces incredible challenges while faithfully proclaiming the Good News and building up the precious but few believers. Below is an update from Pastor "Sam" and encouraging news about their ministry to young adults.

"Despite the unrest in our country, our church and families are safe and blessed. We are praying for a quick resolution that would end the war. I have attached some photos of our young people from a youth meeting when we discussed the topic "From Broken to Restored Families". While you view these photos please pray for each person and their families. Some of our youth come from families of nominal or secular Christians, so they come with ideas that are built on traditions but are not always aligned with the Scriptures. Please pray that the Lord will open their and their families' hearts and enlighten their minds so that they will know His Word and trust Him more, and that the Lord will give wisdom to teach them according to His Way and Will."

"Please pray for the provision of financial support to sustain the youth meetings, and for the Lord to put on the youth hearts to bring their tithes and offerings before Him. On the overall church level please keep our church family in your prayers. We hope to start Bible meetings for couples with children under 18."

"On our family level thanks to the Lord we are doing well. 'T' is enjoying her time in the dentistry clinic; 'D' is still searching for a good job opportunity in Jerusalem; and 'J' is finishing his 3rd year in the university. He still needs to finish 40 hours to be graduated. My wife and I are doing well, but facing some health challenges. We need and appreciate your prayers for our family."

Thank you so much for your prayers and care ... Peace, Love and Blessings in His Name!
