Bible verse of the day:
Romans 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. To the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Pray for Ambassador George Deek that God would give him wisdom, boldness, and favor as he builds bridges between Israel and the global church.
Pray for the Christians of the Middle East in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, that their witness would be protected and multiplied even as the Christian presence shrinks across the region.
Pray for believers worldwide to stand with Israel and her neighbors in love, truth, and courage.
