Dear KBC ʻOhana,

These past few days have been heavy with uncertainty. From the unrest in L.A. to the rising and current chaos in the Middle East, there’s a weight we feel—not just because the news is unsettling, but because we carry the heart of God. These situations may feel far from us geographically, but they’re not far from His heart… and because of that, they’re not far from ours either.

As a church that’s committed to God’s mission of reaching the nations, I want to remind you: your prayers matter.

As part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, let’s stand (or kneel) with believers around the world and pray specifically for:

  • Peace—in Iran, Israel, and across every area torn by chaos and disunity

  • Protection—for the innocent, both physically and spiritually

  • Courage and strength—for our Alliance domestic and international workers serving across the globe, especially in places of conflict

  • Open doors for the Gospel—because in times of uncertainty, hearts often become more open to God’s truth

  • Wisdom for global leaders—and that God would restrain evil and fulfill His purposes

Psalm 46 reminds us that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…”We don’t pray from fear—we pray from faith in the One who holds all things together.

I want to encourage you to take a few moments today—whether during your quiet time, with your ʻohana, or even while driving—to lift these things up to the Lord. He hears us when we call.

Let’s be that kind of church.


In sub-mission,
Pastor J
