Levant– Tree City

Ministry: Tree City Nexus Center

On October 4, 2024, we received this message from the Center:

“The situation is very unstable, and it looks like it will only get worse; but we firmly believe God’s promises and intend to rely fully on Him. We have decided to continue our Sunday Service and will gather tomorrow (Saturday). Temporarily displaced families at the Center who have fled the bombing and our church members will worship together. Please ask God for His protection and guidance during this difficult, challenging time.  

In addition, Nexus School will be open for students to attend classes freely whenever conditions are deemed safe, and all teachers will remain at their posts and continue to serve.”

• Pray for an early end to the war — for peace in Tree City — for those who have lost family members to receive the Lord’s comfort, for injured civilians to be healed, and for families who have lost homes to receive help (especially as winter is approaching, when life is more difficult.)
• Nexus Center now houses 35 people displaced by the war. Pray they will receive comfort and peace — and also receive the Gospel!
• Pray for a smooth start to the new semester with safety for students and Nexus teams!
