Bible verse of the day:
1 Timothy 2:1-2 - I urge then first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority. Authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness

Prayer Request:
Praying for continued quiet in the region so that the gospel can advance.
Pray that God would protect aid workers, that he would speed the safe delivery of food and medicine to those who are hurting, that he would comfort traumatized families, and that he would restrain those who are trying to weaponize the suffering of others.
Pray for Israel's neighbors who continue to struggle with poor and unstable leadership.
