On August 15, 2024, Israeli settlers began constructing an illegal outpost on a section of the Tent of Nations farm, which is owned by the Nassar family. Almost daily, Israeli military forces, security personnel, or settlers attempt to prevent the Nassar family from working on their farm and have damaged the farm’s fences. The Tent of Nations urges its supporters to contact their elected officials and governments to pressure the Israeli military authorities to ensure the Nassar family has free access to their farm.
O Lord, giver of life and source of freedom, you have called us to be stewards of Your abundance, not to conquer or destroy. We thank you for the witness of the Nassar family, who have embodied what it means to be generous, faithful caretakers of the gifts you have entrusted to us. As they seek justice and truth, we ask that you continue to protect them. Oh, Holy Spirit, continue to fill them with Sumud to continue to stand as strong as the olive trees.
Lord, in your mercy… hear our prayer.
