Prayers for Peacemakers August 10, 2016

Give thanks for the life of Kryss Chupp who has dedicated
almost three decades of her life to the work of CPT.   She celebrated her 57th birthday
during CPT’s administrative team’s Strategic Directions retreat this week.  Please hold her and the rest of the
Administrative Team in prayer as they plan for the future.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run
with perseverance the race that is set before us Hebrews 12:1

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