Please pray for rain

Israel needs rain desperately. We found out in class today that Mt. Carmel is on fire, and that the city of Haifa is threatened to be burned down. 40 people have already died. We were on Mt. Carmel a week and a half ago. Israel is calling for foreign aid to help them with this, which is VERY rare, because they do not have the capacity to fight fires like this. I hope help comes. I do not want Haifa to be destroyed. I do not want the church I was at on the mountain, celebrating Elijah's battle with the priests of Baal (to call down fire from heaven to burn a sacrifice...now that's kind of ironic) last week to be burned down so no other future students can see it. Please, let help come.

Israel needs rain. Please pray for it.

Statue of Elijah, representing the miracle he performed of calling down fire for his sacrifice, IN THE NAME OF GOD AND NOT PAGAN GODS. I love Elijah!
