Bible verse of the day:

Matthew 28:18-20 - And Jesus came and said to them, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, Jesus says, I, Jesus, am with you always, even to the end of the age.

Prayer Request:

Pray with us about the corridor between Tel Aviv and Tehran, that God would be mightily pouring out His Spirit in Tehran, into all the Iranian people, even the enemies, even the most hardened enemies, that God would appear to them in visions and dreams, and that they would come to know Him, and that the whole Holy Spirit would be poured out all the way across that highway down to Tel Aviv.

Pray for Gaza, that God would break through the darkness, and that there would be new opportunities and open doors for The Joshua Fund and other believers and churches to come alongside and bring hope and life to the people of Gaza. Pray for the orphans and the widows; pray for us as we dream and pursue a ministry center, the Willow House, here in Israel, as we raise the funds to do that; pray with us that God would make it a reality
