Israel Prayer Update - Oct 30
Please continue to pray for our CMJ colleagues in Israel. They are busy tending to some of the 200,000 Israelis internally displaced by the October 7 attack and the subsequent fighting. The video above by Canon Daryl Fenton explains how the CMJ guest house in the Galilee is welcoming Israeli refugees.
Please continue to pray
1. That the conflict will not escalate in the north.
2. For all who have been taken hostage by Hamas.
3. For God's grace & comfort to be with all grieving, both in Israel and Gaza.
4. Especially for the many children caught up in the horror of these events. Many are scared, hungry, and have lost their homes and shelter, as well as some who have lost their parents or other family members.
5. For the leadership of CMJ Israel as they continue to assess how best to respond to the unfolding situation. Many key personnel have been called into service for the defense of Israel and their usual workload, as well as the additional tasks that have come with this emergency, are being carried by those who remain behind.
6. Pray specifically for the peace, well-being, and strength of those staying at Christ Church and those continuing to seek refuge. The children who are without school, the grandparents who wait for phone calls, and the handicapped who are without their normal structure.
What is CMJ doing In the current crisis?
CMJ Israel continues to purchase and distribute food, hygiene products, clothes, and children's toys to families who have been displaced from their homes in the south.
They are also hosting displaced families in the guest houses both in Jerusalem and Jaffa. They are providing school supplies and educational activities to displaced children and legal assistance for those who have lost homes and family members.
