For months now, a vicious civil war has engulfed Syria on Israel’s northeastern border—leaving countless Syrian civilian casualties in its wake.

A new sculpture was unveiled in the heart of Gaza City, Gaza on Monday, March 10th. What does this have to do with the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians? There is nothing remarkable about that in itself. Cities the world over install works of art in their public squares all the time.

These powerful words from the book of Esther were echoed recently in a letter from JVMI's first full-time missionaries in Zimbabwe when they said, “We are here for such a time as this.” This couple is giving this season of their lives to the work of the Lord and the establishment of His Kingdom in Zimbabwe. We are so blessed and privileged that they have made this sacrificial commitment, and we take seriously our responsibility to lift them up in fervent, focused prayer. Only in Zimbabwe for ...
