Praying on the border between Syria and Israel

This is a remarkable sight! This border is such a contested area (the subject of two wars between Israel and Syria). It is so peaceful here today. As we prayed we could see the UN embargo zone, tanks, troops and army intelligence in the area.

Sadly there is such a sense of 'self righteousness' among many Christian Zionists. The truth is that Israel does so much to infringe on the rights of their neighbours. Many of the persons on our tour do not share my views - however, I am convinced that Israel will need to repent and turn from injustice to justice and mercy (as all nations should) for there to be true peace in this region.
