Danny and Nel are Nazareth-supported missionaries
living in the West Bank near Jerusalem. They request
prayers for the following concerns:
• Pray for a movement of the Gospel to sweep
through the West Bank and the Middle East and that
thousands upon thousands of Muslims would enter
the Kingdom of God.
• Pray for Amira, that when she takes the story of the
cross and resurrection back to her family, they all
would believe together. Pray that this family would
be the spark that catalyzes a movement.
• Pray that the Holy Spirit would impact Ed as he
reads the book of Luke. Pray that he shares these
powerful stories with his family.
• Pray that Danny and Nel continue to be bold,
encouraged, and fruitful in all they do.
