Following recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran, the Baptist World Alliance has issued a powerful call for prayer for peace, justice, and reconciliation across the Middle East. The statement emphasizes the urgency of intercession during times of conflict, reminding believers that prayer is not passive but a vital form of Christian witness.

The Baptist Union highlights the courageous work of churches in the region, including a theological seminary in Lebanon that is sheltering displaced people. This testimony of faith in action—opening doors to the vulnerable amid chaos—embodies the gospel's call to love our neighbours. From Bethlehem Bible College to communities across the region, Christians are demonstrating solidarity and hope. We're invited to join them in prayer, trusting that God's peace can break through even the deepest conflicts.
