Prayer Alert, July 3, 2015
Release International
Leaflets distributed recently in East Jerusalem warn Christians to leave the city before the end of Ramadan onJuly 18 or risk being killed. The leaflets are attributed to a group calling itself 'Islamic State in Palestine'.
Muslim and Christian religious leaders have been quick to condemn the leaflets but Christians in Jerusalem are said to be alarmed and have requested prayer. There have been a number of recent incidents targeting Christians in Jerusalem's Old City – as well as reports of mounting pressure on Palestinian Christians amid fears of local Muslims being radicalised (Prayer Alert,
June 18). (Source: Middle East Concern)
Please pray that God will be with His people in Jerusalem and that they will know His peace, guidance and protection.
