Dan and Meg Price serve as missionaries to the Druse in Israel. They are not far from areas that are experiencing incoming rockets from the foes of Israel. Thankful that the ‘Iron Dome’ stops most of the rockets. Please keep them in your prayers. Meg has been going north to help with a Christian Ministry that feeds 600 to 1200 or more Israeli soldiers every day. This in a town that has been severely damaged by incoming artillery. News: We learned that one of the rockets struck one of the buildings in which the food for the military was prepared. Very thankful that no one was in the building when it was destroyed. They refuse to stop doing the work they believe God called them to do, so please be in prayer for this endeavor to continue as God leads and for His great protection.
Woodland Bible Camp has begun the 70th year of camp season. There will be a 70th Year Celebration on July 27th (Music Week Saturday) at the Camp. See the Woodland 2024 Schedule at the Website: woodlandbiblecamp.org.
Bro. Robert Garrett was recently in Zimbabwe. Please keep him in your prayers as he serves the Lord in that work. We look forward to a report from him on this trip. Please keep Sister Joy in your prayers following her serious fall.
Goin’ Fishing Ministries Donations should now be sent to P O Box 2063 Denham Springs, LA 70726.
Please continue to pray for the Christians in Ukraine. Those that we know have so far been safe, though many of them lost their homes and had to relocate. Those remaining continue to hold church services where possible and spread the Word of God and help others with food and supplies as they are able. Missile attacks continue to cause widespread damage to the electrical grid as well as damaging buildings and killing citizens. For many, no electricity means no heat. This is a very serious problem as the cold weather months have arrived. Please pray for an ending of this terrible war.
NOTE: Bro. Mike Abbott and Blaine Hebert recently made a mission trip to Ukraine. Working with Ukraine ministers it was decided the area where they would be was safe enough for this trip. They were holding a Minister Bible Retreat while there. We look forward to a report on the trip.
Keep in prayer the situation in Israel. This is God’s chosen land for his Chosen People.
Be in prayer for those in the USA that are making it dangerous for the Jews in this country. There were more than 220,000 pro-Israel Americans that gathered in Washington, DC, recently in support of Israel. Also be in prayer that the terrible upheavals of anti-Israel – pro Palestine, and even pro-Hamas students on college campuses in this country will soon be a thing of the past.
