lebanon: praying for peace
Please join our brothers and sisters in LIVF (the IFES movement in Lebanon) in praying for their country. Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil and violence in Beirut, the capital city. According to news reports, over forty people have died across the country in the five days of violence.
In Beirut, roadblocks are now found throughout the city and are causing lots of disruption. Students cannot access their schools and universities. Elie, a friend of the Fellowship in Beirut, urges us to 'pray for them, for peace and stability in the country'. Please pray for protection, peace and courage for Elie and his family, and for each one of the students and graduates of LIVF.
Praise God that nothing 'will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord' (Romans 8:39). Please pray that our brothers and sisters there will be reminded of God's love each day in the midst of this trial. Pray too that the major political groups currently deadlocked in a power struggle will move toward negotiating peace.
