Prayers for
Peacemakers, March 25, 2015

Pray for the children of Al Saraya kindergarten in Hebron,
who must walk past Israeli military personnel and settlers to get to school
near the Il-Ibrahimi Mosque. In 2000, ninety-five children attended the
kindergarten. Now, because of settler
and soldier harassment, only fifteen children remain at the school. The International Red Crescent recently asked
CPT to start accompanying the children on their walk to school, and several
weeks ago, two CPTers were arrested while doing so.

[H]e who vindicates me is near. Who will
contend with me? Let us stand up together.
Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who
will declare me guilty? Isaiah 50:8-9a

Walls

David Leaman

After a CPT delegation in the US-Mexico Borderlands, David Leaman joined our team in Palestine. In both places, he came across oppressive dividing walls. Here, he reflects on their role as colonial tools, and the common call of CPT in different parts of the world to dissolve them.
