Day 29
Jordan
There is no stability, security, or peace in the Middle East as a terrible war is raging between the Hamas militants and Israel. Jordan’s King Abdullah said that peace will not be possible there unless the Palestinian state emerges as an independent state alongside Israel. The monarch said the two-state solution can only lead to a just and comprehensive solution. Palestinians constitute a large percentage of Jordan’s population. Jordan shares a border with the West Bank, and the place is taut and prone to bombardments. The angry mobs in Amman staged a large rally in protest against Israel. Several thousand protesters chanted slogans in support of Hamas. They demanded the Government to close the Israeli embassy in Amman and scrap the peace treaty. Pray for peace to prevail in the region, and the Christian Believers will have hope in Christ for a new beginning and a better future (The Bible, Job 8:7).

Although the country is ranking low, hostility toward Christian Believers has marginally increased. Millions of Jordanians are facing numerous problems in life such as the prices for food, fuel like petrol are constantly increasing. People who are working without any salary revisions find it very hard to survive with the meager money earned. They are under persisting problems financially and the poverty rate is steadily increasing. There is scarcity of water, food supplies and most needed resources. As the war is raging in the region, the challenge of sheltering and feeding the high inflex of refugees from all sides is mounting. Millions of refugees from different conflict zones are trying to find refuge in Jordan. As life struggle goes on, the Christians few in number are under constant threat of persecution. They are trying all their best to keep themselves away from the hostile Muslim groups.
