The truth about aid to Gaza

Israel’s provision of aid to Gaza has been under the spotlight since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. We hear repeatedly from Western governments that Israel needs to facilitate aid to the people of Gaza. The fact is that they are. And they are doing so on a huge scale.

Praying for the UK to stand with Israel

This week we are praying for the UK as it prepares to vote in the upcoming General Election.

"He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning." - Daniel 2:21

Pray that the British public will have wisdom as they go to the polls. Pray that voters will have open hearts and minds and seek out worthy candidates to vote for.
Pray that Christians will have the courage to stand up for their convictions and promote and vote for candidates whose policies align with the Bible.
“Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.” – Proverbs 14:34

We can see sin rising in our society and taking hold in many areas. Pray that the UK will elect a government that will uphold Biblical principles and that righteous men and women will lead our nation and push back against the darkness in our land.
“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” – Genesis 12:3

Pray that the UK will elect a government that stands with Israel and the Jewish people like never before.
Pray that the UK will defend the Jewish people from all forms of hatred. Whether it be blatant antisemitic hatred directed at Jews or calls for the annihilation of Israel, the UK government must do everything in its power to remove antisemitism from British streets.
Pray that the UK-Israel relationship (including trade, intelligence sharing, and military cooperation) will be strengthened to the benefit and protection of both Israel and Britain.
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

The Lord also will roar from Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and earth will shake, but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. | I AM WHO I SAY I AM…This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations. | You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. | Should you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever | So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. | Fear not, [Israel], for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour | Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west | He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him? 'Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.' | Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. | He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. | He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. | Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
