I’m at my keyboard six days after the people of Israel suffered a horrendous attack in which at least 1,200 civilians were brutally murdered. The Israeli response has been swift and harsh with estimates of 1,300 inhabitants of Gaza killed. By the time this article is posted those numbers will most certainly increase.

'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,'

~Matthew 25:35

A number of churches and organisations are joining together for a day of prayer and fasting on Sunday, 2nd January 2022.  When I was contacted and asked if Tearfund Ireland would consider supporting this endeavour, my decision was immediate.  Yes, we will support it.
