It’s been a tough week in the news. You may have been horrified by the images that flashed across your screens that depicted cruelties of Hamas attack on Israel. So, what is the Christian response to such horrors? First and foremost, Christians should respond in prayer. Listen to my blog on praying for the oppressed of the world. Another powerful Christian action is to support the Christian organizations in middle east who are supporting the misplaced in the region. Samaritan’s purse, our mission of the month, is in this area working with those who are misplaced by this crisis. There is another link to Samaritan’s Purse that will give you instructions for putting together a Christmas Shoebox further down in this Constant Contact email.
