Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:55-58)

We hear the sad news that the Turkish army has carried out continuous airstrikes in the Al-Hasa province in northeastern Syria, killing at least 12 Kurdish soldiers and civilians.

In the midst of the war against the Kurdish people who are fighting for independence in Turkey, and taking advantage of the instability in Syria, they are carrying out airstrikes on the Syrian Democratic Forces operating in the Syrian region. May the Lord heal the wounds of the Kurdish people and bring an end to the oppression of Turkey.

Please let Turkey realize its mistake of bombing the desert region 16 times where people struggle to live and involving unrelated civilian workers and even shepherds. Please lead them to look up to the kingdom of God, not the land they are stepping on with their flesh.

Even though they are repeatedly killed in the war against the Kurds, they are not only unable to win, but are rather bound by the law and their sins are revealed even more clearly. May the grace and gospel of God, who gives victory through the Lord Jesus Christ, come to Turkey.

The land of the Syrian people is being destroyed in the midst of the war between Turkey and the Kurds. May the Holy Spirit lead the Syrian souls who are still suffering from the sound of gunfire and explosions to find peace even though the long Syrian war has ended,

May the local churches established by the Lord in Turkey and Kurdistan be united in the gospel and forgive each other, and may the churches stand up and serve the people and nations without wavering, looking forward to the day when the Lord will come again.

May the global church serve together in prayer for this work, and may they send out those who will preach the gospel more vigorously, believing that the Lord knows all their efforts.

In this way, may the reign of Jesus Christ, the King of Peace, come to the Turks, Kurds, and Syria, and may the day come quickly when the Middle East, Persia, and Arabs are united in Christ and prepare for the Lord’s return!
