Isn't it wonderful to see hostages being released and families reunited. We continue to pray for the situation in both Israel and Gaza. How our God longs to set all captives free. He also restores us so we can restore others. We are not called to be part of the problem but to be part of the solution.. We trust you will be blessed by this selection of blog posts.
Be part of the solution! “Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.” (Isaiah 58:12)
Such a beautiful song. Brings back happy memories of my four life-changing trips to Israel. I am thankful for my distant Jewish heritage. My Great-grandmother was Jewish. More importantly, I admire the resilience of the Jewish People, their hope across the centuries and love of peace. Shalom is their most used word.

Dear Reader
This edition of the comes to you once again from a Muslim country where churches cannot be built, and yet where many of the first believers in Jesus Christ lived. Though the ancient cities of Smyrna, Ephesus and Pergamum lie in ruins, Paul's letters to the churches in these places still hold timeless truths for today.
We also look at a different perspective to the unprecedented conflict the Middle East is experiencing. We pray for Israel and Gaza for innocent lives on both sides to be preserved. We ask God for the hostages taken by Hamas to be freed. We intercede for the peace of Jerusalem and we pray that the current situation will not overflow into other nations.

God doesn’t stand idly by in the face of suffering, He sees and He weeps alongside us. However, He is not limited by our understanding of time. He sees things from an eternal perspective and He knows the abundant life He has for us both here on the earth and throughout eternity.
