20 Mar 2023, Samaria: In the second Palestinian shooting against Jews who were driving thru Huwara in three weeks, a former US Marine, a dual citizen in his 30’s was severely wounded, while his wife fainted.
Huwara is located near Nablus (Shechem), about 20 minutes from here. Keep us in prayer for protection as we do our work in a troubled area of the world.

Please pray, because we serve in a troubled place.
