Pray With Us! Shepherd Society
These times in Bethlehem continue to be very difficult and dangerous. We believe in God’s promises of provision and protection. We know this is true – even when, at the present time, we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Daily, death is a reality in Gaza and the West Bank.
Gaza: 700 food parcels were delivered to families in Gaza during June, July, and August. The situation there remains beyond horrific. We are grateful for our partners, PMU and ERDO, in making this possible. Please continue to pray for Gaza, especially the children who are starving.
Bethlehem: Our daily meal program has expanded to ensure the most vulnerable—including cancer patients and struggling families—receive nourishing meals delivered with care and compassion. Currently, over 95 meals are prepared daily across the Bethlehem District.
Please pray with us for the Shepherd Society team, as they strive to support teams on the ground, to provide for so many needs, and for a ceasefire and an end to war - with peace, mercy and justice for all.
MICAH’s Question of the Month:
What does apartheid look like today?
Look for MICAH’s answer in the next Herald, along with a new question for reflection.
Last month’s question
Where does apartheid exist today?
According to organizations such as the Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the U.N., the institutional discrimination and systematic oppression based on race or ethnicity practiced by Israel against Palestinians in all areas under its control is considered apartheid.
