We place our own needs and prayer requests aside as we focus externally on Syria and Türkiye. Please join with the global church in praying for God's mercy over these countries as they continue to respond to the devastating earthquakes.

Please pray:

- that emergency and medical personnel have the capacity and resources to respond adequately and will reach survivors quickly.

- for families left homeless by the earthquake, that they may receive shelter and much-needed emergency supplies soon.

- for wisdom for the Turkish and Syrian governments, that they will provide support where it is needed most.

- that there will be no more aftershocks and that families will have heat and winter supplies to keep them warm.

- for humanitarian organizations working in the region, that they can be a source of comfort and refuge for all who are struggling from hunger, poverty, and injustice.
