Recently twenty Palestinian and Israeli women met in a small village in the north of Israel. This village is not well known - there is not even a sign from the main road pointing in its direction - but Al-Jadeida has been in the news lately because of the violence there. Whole groups of people have been relocated there from low-income neighbourhoods in Acco and Gaza. Al-Jadeida is 97% Muslim and 3% Christian. Organised crime has taken hold, and the local municipality has all but stopped the city services. For the evangelical families and local Catholic and Orthodox churches, this is unacceptable. This has been the subject of prayer for some time now. As a result intercessors met to pray with the local women’s group. They had no physical weapons of protection, but went armed with hope, faith and boldness, walking through neighbourhoods in two groups and praying that the municipality will be cleansed and that any who won’t bend the knee to God will be changed.
