While we wait for more clarity on the situation we must fall to our knees in prayer. We know that nothing is too big or too impossible for our God to change; His righteous purposes will be accomplished. Join us in praying for the conflict in Israel and Gaza. You can use the prayer points below.

We Pray:

• For all those grieving and devasted by the violence, including children, older people and people with disabilities.
• For a breakthrough to bring an end to this recent escalation and ask God to bring peace to the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
• For churches, Christian communities and faith leaders across the region to help others and bridge divides.
• For an immediate ceasefire and an end to hostilities, and for urgent humanitarian access.
• For all those who are terrified, in mourning, and suffering, and for the protection of innocent civilians.
• For us and our partners, that God would grand us wisdom and discernment to help navigate this incredibly complex situation and how best to respond.

We lift up our brothers and sisters in Libya as massive flooding in the city of Derna has killed over 6,000 with over 20,000 still missing. Over 30,000 have been displaced from their homes.

The believers in Libya are strong, but not able to gather regularly, so responding communally at times like this is challenging. We stand with the believers who are seeking to help and support their neighbours in whatever way they are able.

We Pray:

• That people who have been driven from their homes will find safe places to go and that they will be received in other parts of their country.
• For the divided government in this country to find unity to work together to help their people during this time of tragedy.
• That those who are missing will be found by their loved ones.
• Against the spread of water-borne disease that often comes with flooding.
• That believers will be strengthened to help their neighbours.

On April 15, an armed conflict between rival factions of the military government of Sudan erupted. The fighting began with attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on key government sites. Airstrikes, artillery and gunfire were reported across Sudan including in Khartoum. As of 23 April 2023, both the RSF leader and Sudan’s de facto leader and army chief claimed control of several key government sites, including the general military headquarters, the Presidential Palace and Khartoum International Airport. The conflict between the two generals has led Sudan to the brink of renewed civil war, and it has been referred to as a “burgeoning civil war”. The fighting has so far caused over 600 deaths and thousands of injuries, leaving the citizens of Sudan without basic necessities like food, water, and medical aid. It is a devastating situation indeed. The streets of Khartoum are now filled with dead bodies and hospitals can’t handle the number of those who are injured. Innocent lives are being ripped. Families are torn apart, and children are robbed of their dreams of a bright future. So far, more than 75% of hospitals in the affected area have been destroyed, leaving the people of Sudan without access to medical assistance.

Please continue to pray for:

We Pray:

• For protection and safety for the people.
• For wisdom and courage for world leaders to find peace.
• For God to be present and for the Christians in Ukraine to be the light of Christ in the country in the midst of darkness.

This disaster comes following many months of civil unrest. Even as the people of Haiti seek to recover, tropical storms threaten to bring torrential rain, flooding, and landslides.
