Middle East Conflict - Evangelical Alliance Statement
Statements
Evangelical Alliance encourages others to join in praying for peace.
28 July 2006
The Evangelical Alliance is deeply concerned with the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
Our thoughts and our prayers are with all those concerned, for those families who have suffered loss and whose homes and livelihoods are being threatened and destroyed; for those in government and leaders seeking a political resolution. We are calling upon Christians and others to join with us and continue praying for peace and for the emergency services, that they would be strengthened as they carry out their tasks in trying circumstances.
Joel Edwards, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance UK says:
“Praying for the ‘peace of Jerusalem’ is a biblical mandate. Let us also pray that political leaders will find a way to end the current conflict and pursue a just and lasting peace.”
