When looking back at the landscape of the Middle East, the Arab Spring and the Syrian revolution that began back in 2011, it is remarkable to see how much has changed. With the reconfiguring of the political structure of the Muslim world, the collapse of the territorial component of the Islamic State, the close of the greater phase of the Syrian War, Iranian expansionism, contested reforms in the Arabian Peninsula, and the emerging relational dynamics between Israel and Sunni Arab states, we are most assuredly standing at a critical historical juncture. Insight, foresight, Spirit-led intercession and action are needed now more than ever.
Please be praying for the ATC alliance of ministries and leader-followers as we meet in N. Cyprus, adjacent ancient to Salamis, (where Shaul and Barnabas were sent to from Antioch on that first apostolic journey) for our regional conference. Between 50-60 leaders and followers of Yeshua will gather to worship, pray, seek His face and hopefully discern the voice of God together regarding the geopolitical changes and realignment that is quickly changing alliances and relationships throughout the Middle East. How do we continue to respond to all of this, to the chaos and devastation that are a result of the Syrian Regional War that continues to affect those in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan, literally those from all over ancient ‘Assyria’?
How to Pray for Us
• Pray there would be mutual encouragement for those serving in challenging places around the region.
• Pray for humility as we draw close to Him.
• Pray for unity to hear His voice together.
• Pray for security for our time together.
• Pray for faith to walk out what He says in obedience.
