Middle East Christians are expressing a mix of fear, confidence in the gospel and calls for prayer as the region approaches the anniversary of Hamas’ deadly terrorist attacks on Israel – and reels from events in Lebanon.
At Christian TV station SAT-7, audience relations manager Marianne Awaraji said: ‘Perhaps God has placed all of us at SAT-7 for such a time as this, to be a voice for those who cannot speak, to bring the hope of Christ to a region that has lost hope for a better future.’
The Lebanese Al Kafaat Foundation, which supports people with special needs, said after the detonation of pagers and walkie-talkies in the country: ‘The last 48 hours have been tremendously challenging on all fronts, and we thank the Lord that all our children and staff are safe… We thank the Lord that we are all safe today. But now, we fear what next?’
