Next, while the battle continues to rage between Israel and Lebanon, Open Doors' Paul Estabrooks calls Christians to remember believers caught in the crossfire. Many Christians have determined to stay in Lebanon even in the midst of the crisis. "It's very hard not to be emotionally involved in the political side of what's happening when you see your friends being harmed. Especially Christian friends, but you know, they're there to serve the Lord in that situation." Estabrooks says we need to stand with our brothers and sisters, and pray that God will bring good out of the terrible war situations going on. "Sharing the Gospel is often easier in a time of crises than in a time of peace. And so we would ask people to pray that during these crises that our brothers and sisters there would have an opportunity to be able to share their faith in very practical and real ways that will impact those who need to know the Lord." Pray that the peace of Christ will flood the Middle East.
