Today marks the second anniversary of the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel—a day that shattered lives, exposed evil, and demanded moral clarity.
I do not speak from headlines or propaganda.
I spent ten years working on the ground in Israel. I’ve taken shelter from incoming missiles. I’ve used vehicles to shield myself from a sniper. I’ve been physically attacked. My perspective is shaped not by theory, but by lived reality.
If Hamas had targeted IDF bases alone, one could argue they were engaging in warfare. But they did not. They chose civilians. They chose to rape infants and children in front of their parents before executing them. They chose to burn families alive in their homes. They chose to take hostages—torturing, murdering, and desecrating human dignity.
These are not acts of resistance. These are acts of terrorism. There is no justification that can be claimed.
Let us pray …
.. for the poor and terrorized people of Gaza, who live under the violent control of Hamas. They deserve food, shelter, and a government that protects rather than oppresses. Israel, the United States, and other nations have worked diligently to deliver aid—free of charge—to the people of Gaza. And yet Hamas has repeatedly attacked those convoys, stealing supplies and selling them at inflated prices to the very people they claim to defend.
… for peace to come to this region—not a fragile ceasefire, but a true and lasting peace rooted in justice, truth, and reconciliation.
And let us continue, overtly and covertly, to preach the Gospel. To rescue and shelter the innocent. To stop the bloodshed. To proclaim that Yeshua ha-Meshiach loves every soul on this planet. No sin is too great to forgive. He has paid the ultimate price to redeem it.
I’ve walked in land controlled by the Palestinian Authority. I’ve spoken with former Hamas terrorists who have come to know Jesus—and I’ve seen their hearts transformed. They’ve become lovers of peace. Lovers of Israel. Some have even founded ministries of reconciliation, seeking to undo the terror they once spread.
Let Us Believe This…
… JESUS IS THE ANSWER.
He is the ONLY answer –
He has always been the only answer.
Let us proclaim Him—
Loudly, boldly, repeatedly—with a fervor born in His blood, so that the needless bloodshed of others may be averted now and in the years to come.
