Verse of the Day: Matthew 25:35 - For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in.
 
Prayer Request:

Praying for the strength and continued safety for local pastors, congregations, and Joshua Fund partners as they serve their communities? 
Pray for continued peace that this peace would hold after years under threats of rockets and violence. Pray for families who have been displaced as they return home and rebuild that the Lord would enable them to find both physical shelter and also eternal refuge in Jesus.
Pray for greater resources to enable our humanitarian outreach through the Joshua Fund to expand. There are so many urgent needs, and we are looking to leave a lasting testimony of God's love in the epicenter
