"Israel Jittery Over Syrian Chemical Weapons" July 28
With Bashar al-Assad’s regime teetering on the brink of collapse, Israeli soldiers and civilians are gearing up for possible military action to prevent Syria’s chemical weapons from falling into the wrong hands. According to sources close to the Israel Defense Force, soldiers have already been put on standby and are ready to move as fears mount that the Islamic militant group Hezbollah could acquire the weapons. Meanwhile, demand for gas masks among civilians has jumped 66 percent over the past few weeks to more than 3,500 per day.
Addressing the threat of Hezbollah possibly acquiring the lethal weapons, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, “Israel...will not hold back and will respond decisively if this happens.” Hezbollah, which is based in south Lebanon and is supported by both Syria and Iran, has long called for the destruction of Israel. The group is considered the prime candidate to take possession of the weapons.
Meanwhile several international security agencies, including the CIA, are reportedly racing to find the weapons to ensure they don’t fall into the wrong hands and spark an all-out war in the region.(Source: Fox News, AP)
As the Lord leads, please pray:
•For peace and the safety of Israel.
•That the chemical weapons will be secured before terrorist acquire them.
•For world leaders to act decisively and with wisdom as they face this latest threat in the Middle East.

"Napolitano: Terrorists Enter U.S. From Mexico 'From Time To Time'" - July 31
Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano Congress that she gave the green light to a known Egyptian terrorist permission to enter the country so that he could visit the White House. She also testified that terrorists intending to harm the American people enter the U.S. from Mexico "from time to time" and there is nothing we can do about it. She also added that we should see an increase in terrorists entering the country in the coming months.
As the Lord leads, please pray:
* Despite the Secretary's blase attitude regarding terrorists entering our country -invited(unbeliveable!) as well as uninvited - pray that God will give our border security agents supernatural discernment in detecting such individuals and stopping as many as possible from entering our country.
* Pray that any terrorist plan will be discovered and thwarted in a timely way by our courageous anti-terrorist agents.

Summer Olympics in London
* Praise God!that there have thus far been no incidents (reported at least) of any terrorist attempt at the many vulnerable targets at the Olympic venues. Pray that any planned terrorist attacks will be thwarted by those charged with security.
* Pray that every athlete and visitor at the Games will at some time be exposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ by someone they meet or some piece of literature they receive. Believe with me that each one who is there was sovereignly brought by God to have an opportunity to hear the gospel or to be a witness for the gospel in some way, and that those making decisions for Christ as a result will return to their home countries to be used by Him to impact others for Christ.
