Prayers for Peacemakers June 30, 2016

This morning 17-year-old Muhammad Nasser Tarayra
murdered 13-year-old Hallel Yafa Ariel in the Israeli settlement of Kiryat
Arba.  Tarayra was then shot and killed.  His family’s home in the Hebron-area village
of Bani Naim will be demolished. Ever since Israeli soldiers killed Tarayra’s
cousin, he had expressed a wish for death on his Facebook page.  Please pray for all the families mourning the
loss of loved ones.  Please pray for all
the families facing “price tag” attacks by settlers, which could include
Campaign for Secure Dwellings families in the Beqa’a Valley, near Bani Naim, as
well as people in the Old City of Hebron. 

*Epixel for Peacemakers  July 3, 2016  

To you, O LORD, I cried, and to the LORD I made supplication: “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?” 
Psalm 39:8-9

Travelling doesn’t erase home

What if the most painful displacement is not leaving home, but returning to discover that the place you love is slowly being made to forget you?

Walls

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.
