https://apple.news/A-vDq70WfS3yr5YWV6Mt7KQ https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/08/europe/israel-hostages-hamas-what-we-know-intl/index.html Those links are to an article about Israeli hostages taken to Gaza Friday night into Saturday. I know we talked a lot about the Israeli situation this morning and how to pray. If you want to keep abreast of the news, we have noticed BBC is mostly covering it for at least 45 minutes of its hourly news cycle (and they don't have any of the U.S. party biases :-) ). This has to have reminded the Israelis who were taken of how their fellow Jews were snatched from their homes by Hitler's forces back in the 1940's. God can bring good. Seems like when everyone abandons Israel, God always crashes through, even now. And our Jewish friends here may need comfort, support, and a gospel witness! Praying! By the way, the Sukkot festival that is mentioned is the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths in which the Jews build outdoor shelters for their week of celebration. They also call it the Feast of Ingathering.
