Bringing Light in Dark Times: Praying for George and Suad Kawaneh
In the usually quiet town of Nazareth, George and Suad Kawaneh just endured a harrowing night marked by the sounds of rockets streaking across the sky from Lebanon, disrupting lives and bringing tremendous anxiety to the Galilee region. During my trip to Israel in 2023, the Kawanehs were so gracious and I spent some wonderful times with their family. Instead of the relative calm experienced during that trip then, now there are millions of Israelis seeking safety again in bomb shelters. In times like these, uniting in prayer can transform concern into support and hope.

The Reality of Living in a Conflict Zone
Living in a region that regularly faces these kinds of threats can be daunting. For George and Suad, it wasn't just a typical night; it was a reminder of the fragility of peace in their beloved home. The emotional toll of hearing rockets fired in the distance weighs heavily not only on them but on families across the area. This unsettling reality often makes families like the Kawanehs seek comfort in community support and spiritual guidance.
A Community That Prays Together Stays Together
In Nazareth, the tradition of coming together in prayer is as old as the town itself. The community is known for its resilience and dedication to one another during tough times. As George and Suad navigate through the lingering fear of conflict, our prayers can serve as a source of strength. Coming together for shared prayers not only uplifts those directly affected but also fosters solidarity among all residents. It reminds us that, even in darkness, there is light, and that light shines through our connections with one another.
