Prayer Points

“But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.” (Psalm 9:18)

As we enter the last days of summer, we see war, pain, and suffering in the Holy Land. But we also see that God has brought us all together—Fellowship friends around the world— to support of Israel’s people, especially during this time of crisis. So, this week in prayer, let us find hope in knowing that we can pray, act, and support those in need, together.

• Praise God that a hostage was rescued from a tunnel in Gaza! Fifty-two-year-old Farhan al-Qadi, a Bedouin father of 11, was rescued after being in captivity for 10 months. We pray that all the hostages will one day be free. “Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
• Hezbollah continues to attack Israel, and their terrorist rockets are causing massive fires in Israel’s north. A potentially devastating attack on Israel was prevented by blocking thousands of rockets aimed at the north. Pray that God will continue to keep the people of Israel safe and prevent further attacks. “The LORD will fight for you” (Exodus 14:14).
• And praise Him for our committed donors, who continue to help us provide basic needs to the people of Israel this summer. “‘The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them’” (Isaiah 41:17).
