Today marks one year since Hamas launched a multi-front invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, slaughtering 1,200 people and abducting 251. More than 41,431 Gazans have died since that day, more than 479 Palestinians in the West Bank and 2,000 people in Lebanon, with further casualties in Syria, Yemen and Iran.
All of these nations in this battle, including Israel, are highly unreached with the gospel of Christ. Please join us in prayer today for
- Protection and empowering for Christians trapped in Gaza and Lebanon.
- Release and salvation for the remaining hostages from Israel held by Hamas.
- Healing of mind, heart, body and soul for released hostages, those who survived the October 7 attacks, and wounded soldiers.
- Comfort and salvation for the families of hostages, soldiers, Gazans, Lebanese and others who have died in this battle, that God will turn their eyes to Jesus, their true Comforter and Savior.
- For the Lord to visit every Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi terrorist in their dreams and show them the way to salvation, gripping them with such fear of the Lord they fall to their knees in repentance and are saved.
- For awakening and a hunger for Truth in every heart in each country caught up in this violent war, especially Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen and Syria.
O Lord, please bring a quick and right end to this war, resulting in true peace in this region that lasts. Drive every heart to desperately seek Truth and find You, Jesus. Make the way where there seems to be no way for Your gospel to reach those bound up by hatred and release them into Love. March in Your angel armies to give to You all this terrain Satan has worked so hard to control. Begin a church-planting movement that no amount of evil and terrorism can stop, that even every terrorist will be struck by the revelation of Christ and those bent on violence and murder will be stopped in their tracks, just as Paul was, and fall to their knees in repentance before the One who loved them and gave His life for them so they can be saved. From out of this catastrophically evil war, shine forth Your goodness and glory. Turn every eye all across the world to You. Lay flat every idol and raise up the name of Jesus in the mind and heart of every person, until every knee bows and every tongue confesses You alone are God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
