A Year of War, A Call to Prayer & Action
As we mark one year since the start of this war in the Middle East, we invite you to join us in lifting up our hearts in prayer this coming Sunday (6th October).
In this newsletter, Wissam Nasrallah provides an analysis of the war, offering insights into the ongoing crisis. Additionally, Ghinwa Akiki shares the powerful story, Displaced for the 7th Time, which sheds light on the emotional toll of this conflict and the unwavering faith of those forced to flee again and again.
Please join us in prayer for the countless families who have been displaced, for those who have lost their livelihoods, and for the broken futures of this lost generation. We pray for peace, that our nation may be healed from division and suffering.
Beyond our efforts in food distribution and meeting immediate needs, we long to display and declare Christ to our countrymen, especially where love and compassion are scarce. Please pray for wisdom and integrity as we steward the resources entrusted to us during this crisis. Above all, may many seek Christ during these difficult times, finding hope and peace in Him.
Thank you for your partnership in this journey.
