Please pray with me for the people of Syria... that God will have mercy on those who are killed and bring them into His Eternal Kingdom in Jesus Holy Name.

And please pray that God will work through all those who love peace and respect the sanctity of human life to bring and end to the violence in Syria in Jesus' Holy Name.
