Dear Friends and Readers who Follow Christ,
Today has been an incredibly traumatic, life-altering day for many, many muslims in New Zealand, and all over the world. If you have not heard, two terror attacks in New Zealand mosques have taken place, killing at least 49 people and wounding 20 more (you can stay up to date on the event here).
Friends, this is the perfect time to love and be there for these dear, precious people. Islam is a hateful religion; but we ultimately know that we do not fight the people who believe it as much as we fight the ideology itself. These are people, just like you and I, and they are in deep, deep grief.

Whether it would be praying for them, or reaching out in support on their behalf and presenting the Gospel, let’s think of the ways we can love these people in the darkest hour of their lives. As we do so, and as we are given opportunities to share the Gospel, they will know we are Christians by our Love and genuine care for them– and it will glorify our Loving, Gracious, Truth-filled Savior. In doing so, they will know Jesus’ Love– and hopefully give their lives to Him.
Right now, these people need love. May the way we conduct ourselves honor and please Jesus, who Loves all and wants all to come to Him.
Amen?
Your Friend in Christ,
Annalee

Do you know Jesus?
Jesus once said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). Jesus wants to comfort those in distress– and comfort those who are distressed by their sin, by being their Savior. Learn more about Jesus, and what His action on the cross meant for you, here.
Please pray for (find the prayer sheet here)…
- Those who are in deep grief over these terror attacks.
- The perpetrators– that justice would be done, and that they would be incredibly humbled and brought to Jesus.
- The Chibok girls and Leah Sharibu.
- Jesus to come back soon.
Thank you for your prayers. ❤
