Dear Friends,

I am writing to you from Jerusalem about the rapidly developing situation in the Middle East and the importance of us joining together in prayer.

The United States armada of military vessels is now in place in the region. This includes the USS Abraham Lincoln, multiple types of aircraft, air refuelers, and anti-missile batteries. This is the largest concentration of American military in the region since 2003, capable of offensive strikes, and protecting against retaliation. US Admiral Brian Cooper is now in Israel to consult with the Israeli military leadership. These types of meetings also happened 5 days before the 12-day war with Iran in June 2025. Evacuations of military personnel have taken place from Qatar. Israel’s military is on high alert. There are also multiple reports from international organizations that Iran’s regime is continuing the execution of its own citizens in very large numbers. If the US and its allies attack Iran, Iran has threatened retaliation against Israel, US bases and military assets in the region, and worldwide jihad. This could affect people in many countries worldwide.

We are calling on all believers worldwide to please stand with us in prayer. We are praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the Lord’s protection for Jerusalem and all of Israel Ps 122: 6-7, Zech 2:4-5, and Ezek 34:28-30. We also ask for prayer for the people of Iran who are risking their lives for the hope of freedom. Finally, this situation is changing day by day and we should continue to pray for the Lord’s wisdom for our leaders and His will to be done. God asks for and values our prayers and is faithful to answer our prayers according to His will. II Cor 7:14.
