A Message from Deniz
9th April 2026
In the midst of the tragedy, destruction and war it is difficult to separate ourselves from what is going on in the world, and live our lives as though nothing is happening. The world news is depressing, watching all the destruction and hearing about lost lives make us sad, anxious, and sometimes even feel guilty for living in comfort, untouched by what’s happening in our world.
What should the response of a follower of Christ be in our today’s world? Jesus is hurting for those who are suffering and He constantly intercedes for them. We can follow Jesus’ example by:
1. Stepping back from listening or watching the news too much, so we can be of sound mind to evaluate and pray effectively.
2. Exercise turning our pain and discomfort to prayer.
3. Knowing our authority as God’s children, and praying for peace, healing and restoration for the world.
4. Praying with like-minded people to support and encourage one another.
5. Giving to charities actively involved in helping those caught in war and conflict.
It is an incredible privilege to know that we have a living God who has risen from the dead. May he comfort us, guide us and use us to bring peace and hope into our world.
