Prayer Request
We received today this news through brother George Khalil, an elder in the assembly in Nazareth.
Dear friends
I received some very disturbing bad news this morning from Suhad: Fuad Nabil Ayyad, a member of the Christian community in Gaza, was kidnapped by an unknown group from Palestine Square in the center of Gaza City yesterday. An unknown group also tried to kidnap Fuad's father before last Christmas, but he got away. His father is the second cousin of our dear martyr Rami.
Let us surround Fuad, his family and friends with prayers. Pray for his safe return, and that he will not be harmed in any way. Pray also that God will fulfill all the needs the family has in this very difficult situation.
And pray for the whole small, struggling Christian community in Gaza. The light of Christ is needed more than ever in Gaza, a place that seem to grow darker and darker. Let's pray that the life-changing Light of the world will shine brighter and brighter in this very troubled region, into the hearts of more and more people that now are living in deep despair.

Mountain Top Update
Below is another update from Andy Hylton, Executive Director of Mountain Top Youth Camp on Sauratown Mountain, NC.

Hi Brothers and Sisters,
God has seen fit to answer many of our prayers - thanks for your intercession on our behalf.
We had rain for about an hour this morning. - PTL - This continues to slow the fire's progression.
As of this evening we can now say that a complete fire break (combination of hand digging a line and a bulldozer cutting a path) completely surrounds the fire area. - PTL
As crews are freed up from other areas, more man power has been allocated to our cliffs area - PTL - This remains a main area of concern. - Pray
About 4:00 pm today fire crews were able to provide a good water source on our cliffs to allow pumped water to this area. - PTL
This will allow the crews to be ready in the morning to go into the fire areas and apply water to the "hot spots" that still burn and can be rekindled. - Pray
So keep praying - our request:
* Pray for more rain
* Pray that all hot spots will be extinguished
* Pray for wisdom for those making decisions
* Pray for the salvation of the unbelieving workers
We hope to send out another positive praise report tomorrow.
Thanks again for your prayers!
Psalm 50:23 "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me."

Mountain Top Update
We value and need your continued prayers...
This whole fire ordeal has been like a roller coaster in that reports are up and down - we continue to experience the results of a wildfire being unpredictable.
At night fall last evening (Friday) we felt the fires on MTYC property were under control. This means that the visible flames of the moving line of fire were out and we had some what of a make shift fire break (hand dug/raked line) around the fire area. This left "hot spots" (areas still
burning, but not advancing). The fire official's game plan last evening was to reinforce the fire breaks and start working the interior hot spots.
Unfortunately the winds rekindled the fires near our cliffs. The fire had burned up to the left side of our cliffs before being "contained", at least not actively advancing. Praise the Lord for the rain - pray for more!
Where the fire now burns on our side of the mountain is only accessible by foot and there is no good water source.
Pray for wisdom for the fire fighters. Also, pray for their strength as this battle is now into the fourth day. Pray for the winds to cease - this poses one of the worse threats.
MTYC is not in immediate danger - although the unpredictable fires still burn.
The Lord is answering prayer. What takes man so long - God can do with a rain shower. Mark 10:27 - With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Thank you for your calls, voice mails and email - they are not a bother, but rather a great encouragement - please understand if we are not able to respond in a timely manner in light of the situation.
