Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER FOCUS

Pray for Syria

Isaiah 17:1-3 – “An oracle concerning Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins. 2 The cities of Aroer are deserted; they will be for flocks, which will lie down, and none will make them afraid. 3 The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts.”

War torn Syria has been a hotbed of violence. Caught in the middle of the violence is the population of Syria. Many have fled and have become refugees. Fleeing to countries like Jordan to escape the violence and start a new life. Christians have been able to minister to the refugees fleeing Syria, helping them with basic needs in the name of Jesus.

A significant population stills remains Syria. “In northern Syria, invasion by Turkish forces in late 2019 caused greater instability, and seems to have been used by some Islamic extremists as a cover for opportunities to target Christians.”

“Persecution remains extreme in public and private life for Christians in Syria, though there is a slight trend toward lessening pressure for Christians. This reflects the shrinking of territory held by Islamic extremist groups. COVID-19 has exacerbated many existing vulnerabilities in the past year. Public pressure on Christians continues to increase, although Christians faced slightly less pressure from their families and communities. There were slightly fewer reports of violence, following a trend from the past couple of years, though threats of attack, abduction and forced marriage remain constant.” source: Open Doors

Pray that the Lord will melt the hearts of the persecutors. Pray that their eyes will be opened to the truth. Pray for protection of the Christians in Syria. Ask the Lord to minister through them and increase their influence.

We travel to back alleys, broken neighborhoods, dangerous street corners, prisons, jails and reservations. We hand out waters in parks on hot July afternoons. We provide hot dogs on the most dangerous street corners in the Valley at midnight. We sing songs with the incarcerated and hug homeless who haven’t showered in a month. We are out serving morning, noon, and night.

Through our 40 different outreaches every week, we bring water, food, hygiene products, clothing and the message of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world.

Last year alone, our outreaches impacted over 33,000 people every month.”

“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”

– Matthew 25:37-40
