Homs, Syria

“sent out [Your] word and healed them; [You] rescued them from the grave.” Psalm 107:20

Prayer for Movement Team:

Gracious Father, the power of Your words created the earth and holds the power to rescue every person. Today, we cry out for Yaqoob, our Syrian brother who was on the way to the market to get food when his home was attacked, his wife was killed, and he suffered bullet wounds and a broken back. Adding to all of this, our brother does not know where his children are.

We cling to the truth of Your words from Psalm 107:20, knowing that You “sent out [Your] word and healed them; [You] rescued them from the grave.” Bring healing to Yaqoob’s body, miraculously touch his back today, and comfort him in grieving the loss of his wife and his missing children. Let him know You are near. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Learn more about Homs, Syria

Damascus, the capital of Syria, and Homs, a main center of the Syrian uprising and catalyst for the civil war, are two of the most populous cities in the country. The capital was crowned for its beauty and has been called the “pearl of the East”, however, both cities have suffered much loss and deterioration since the war began in 2011.

With Bashar al-Assad still in power, the only true hope for the healing and transformation of Syria is the Good News of Jesus. Thankfully, many Syrians report that the Messiah revealed himself to them in dreams and visions while fleeing the country.

With the country under Assad’s oppressive control the conflict has diminished, and with increased stabilization an opportunity is presenting itself for Jesus following Syrians to return to their homes and share with their countrymen an unfading, imperishable Pearl of great price.
