An Israeli air strike targeting a senior Hamas official in Gaza City’s Remal neighborhood killed five Saturday, including a Christian mother and daughter beloved for their help with displaced people sheltering at Holy Family Church. The funeral for Christians Mary Hafez Michel Najjard and her daughter Maysa Khader Ibrahim Abu Daoud was held the same day at St. Porphyrios Greek Orthodox Church.
Tomorrow marks three years since the Gaza-Israel war began. Perhaps 62 Christians have died, a few because of sniper fire or lack of food and medical care, but most from air strikes that hit the two churches where they sheltered. About 600 Christians remain in Gaza.
Lord, thank You for Mary and Maysa’s servant hearts and the ways You used them to help those in need these past three violent years in Gaza. Please comfort those who mourn and let them feel Your presence with them. Chase out fear with Your perfect love, and be a Shield of protection around every believer. Deepen their faith and give them hope. Heal their hearts and minds. Surround them with Your angel armies and keep them from harm. Be for them a mighty, impenetrable Fortress. Provide for all their needs and use them as light in the darkness, drawing lost Palestinians and Israelis into Your love. Save by the thousands, even millions, every lost Jew and Muslim. Awaken Gaza and Israel to Your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
