Prayers for Peacemakers June 10, 2014

Pray for the Abu Haikels and all the families on Tel Rumeida,
in Hebron who are losing land to settlement expansion in the form of an
archeological dig and facing increased harassment from settlers.

See AL-KHALIL (HEBRON): The Abu Haikel family—a story of resistance.
