Christians in Israel (including the West Bank and Gaza) have requested for prayer amidst the ongoing conflict that began on 7th October 2023 when Hamas fighters launched attacks along the Israeli-Gaza border.
A church in one of the communities that Hamas infiltrated into during the initial coordinated attack, is asking for prayer as they seek to share the love of Christ and try to meet the needs of their community.
Another church located in a major city is struggling to meet the needs of their community as an unofficial blockade has restricted the influx of daily goods such as food and fuel.
Many front-line workers are also requesting prayer for family members who are directly involved in the armed forces. One front-line worker’s parents’ home was bombed.
“As we live in a land where hatred and extremism continue to dominate, we realise that there is spiritual warfare involved,” a front-line worker said.
Pray that God will use these churches as active witnesses for Christ during this challenging time. Pray for divine provisions for those who are affected by the conflict situation and for front-line workers. Pray that many will respond to the gospel message and come to faith in Christ.
