Prayers for
Peacemakers, August 3, 2016 Palestine

Pray for the people of Susya who are once again facing the
imminent expulsion from their village by the Israeli authorities. Pray also that God will inspire volunteers to
join Christian Peacemaker Teams – Palestine, which is extremely understaffed.

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:16-17
