The same day that a Hamas leader urged attendees at a funeral to kill Jews, an Israeli father of two was stabbed and killed in a horrific terror attack. This reflects the deep hatred of Jews that flourishes in Palestinian culture — and that comes with a heavy cost.

In a daring covert operation, Israel rescued hundreds of members of an unarmed humanitarian group from the approaching Syrian army. And while the world, as usual, looks on critically, this shows once again that Israel has not only learned to do right, but is showing the world how to do right.

History has forced Israelis to accept the fact that their enemies are committed to hatred, terror, and bloodshed — a harsh reality the people of Israel still face today. But as terrorist rockets and mortars fall on Israel, we continue to pray for God's peace, over the Holy Land and the whole world.

In recent weeks, children's toys have taken on a sinister meaning for Israelis. Terrorists bent on Israel's destruction have been flying fiery kites and balloons over the Gaza border, setting farms and nature preserves ablaze.

In the worst flare-up of violence since 2014, Israel has been targeted in recent days by scores of terrorist rockets and mortars fired from Gaza. Once again, we see God's hand of protection over the Jewish state and her people. And once again, friends like you are partnering with The Fellowship and faithfully praying for Israel.

While Memorial Day in the U.S. is the unofficial beginning of summer, it is also a time to mourn those lost while serving the nation. So this weekend, let us all remember those who died defending our freedoms, ask God to strengthen those who are grieving, and pray for the safety of the brave men and women on the front lines of the war on terror.

Violence and suffering seem to have no end in our troubled world, and it is easy to lose hope. But as people of faith it is our responsibility to change the environment we live in to one of kindness, hope, and love.

This year, Israel celebrates her 70th anniversary. And when I read biblical passages such as Amos 9:15 — "I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them" — I think of the thriving land of Israel I am blessed to call home today.
