The Palestinian government’s UN application for formal recognition as a state has caused frantic international diplomacy.
Jesus is the answer
‘The only hope for peace for the Middle East is truly Jesus.’
These inspiring words were spoken by a Jewish believer in Jesus sharing his testimony during a global Christian conference last summer.
An Arab Christian sharing the platform with her Jewish brother in Christ added,
‘In the Messiah, there is room for all of us. He calls us to be one family. Reconciliation has changed me and my enemy.’
True reconciliation
Our prayer at AWM is for the peoples of the Middle East to come to faith in Christ. We believe that true hope comes from the power of the gospel.
‘I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes..’ Romans 1:16
