The Primate of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, the Most Revd Dr Thabo Makgoba has made an urgent call for prayer for the war affected Ukraine and Gaza region.
Archbishop Makgoba made the call yesterday in a statement released to ACNS and other media outlets. He said, “Both situations need urgent and intentional intercessions” and urged all Christians to “uplift in prayer those who have been devastated by war.”
Despite the recent plea by the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon for a cessation of hostilities, Gaza and southern Israel have seen an increase in violence. International media report that more than 1,000 Palestinians
and at least 52 Israeli soldiers and three civilians have died since the conflict began on July 8.
