Prayers for Peacemakers, December 24th 2014

By demo

December 24, 2014

Pray for the CPTers that even today, on Christmas Eve, are working around the world. Pray that their voluntary commitment, their constant work and their positive energy, function as an agent of change of the reality of the communities that they accompany; and that these changes give them more energy to keep doing their beautiful work for peace.

These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
