Praying for Ambassador Mike Huckabee, for his family and his team, that they would have this godly wisdom that James talks about. That God would protect them and give them boldness as they serve America here in Israel during these interesting times.
Pray for President Trump to discern the right timing and the strategy regarding Iran, how to protect U.S. forces, and that God would protect Israel and other innocent lives while restraining evil regimes.
Pray for the people of Gaza, for lasting peace, for the disarmament and the exit of Hamas, and that reconstruction could happen without hatred. We pray that the Gospel would advance there amid uncertainty.
