Prayers for Peacemakers, September 23, 2015

Pray for the refugees and asylum seekers who continue to
land on the Greek island of Lesvos.  Pray
for the CPT Europe workers and all the international workers, Greeks and
tourists who reach out in compassion to ease their suffering.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have
    escaped.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:7-8
