Prayer for Mission in Israel and Palestine

This week we pray for the ongoing mission to Israel and Palestine.  While I think we may be between missionaries in this location, the Disciples have a long history of mission work in the Holy Land, dating back to the mid-1800s.

Now, the mission focuses on offering various measures of support to Palestinian Christians and encouraging interfaith dialogue, especially among young adults, in the turbulent land.  You can read more about the mission to Israel and Palestine here.

There are Christian missionaries serving around the world on our behalf in 70 countries.  Each week, Global Missions highlights one of these missions and asks the church to pray for its continued vitality in spreading the Gospel.
