Prayers for Peacemakers May 11, 2016 Biking for Peace

Pray for David Jones and Michael Himlie, who will be riding one hundred miles in each of the
fifty states of the United States over fifty consecutive days to raise
$100,000. They plan to donate that
money to Christian Peacemaker Teams and other organizations working for
nonviolence. Give thanks for the Christian
Peacemaker Teams Palestine/Israel delegation that brought them together last
year.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them
be afraid. John 14:27
