Last week, tensions rapidly mounted in the Middle East following Iran's missile attack on Israel on April 13th.

Thank you for praying into this situation. We are thankful that the enmity between Iran and Israel seems to have, for now, moved away from boiling point and returned to a simmer.

Please do continue to pray:

• For regional leaders, including Iran's, to show restraint and a commitment to peacemaking

• For all the ordinary people suffering unimaginable pain, loss and fear because of the ongoing conflict

• For Iranian Christians, and other Christians in the region, as they seek to share the hope and love of Christ

I'm grateful for you standing with us in prayer.
