Today's New or Time-Sensitive Update

The missionary family, the Pribbles, serving in Bethlehem at a Christian School:

Update: Dec 23 

We want you to be among the first to know that God has done a miracle. Late yesterday we received our visa renewal! This is amazing, as many Christian workers here in Jerusalem have not had their visas renewed, and many have had to leave.

We will now be able, Lord willing, to go to Jordan for Christmas to see Ghada’s family! We are praying that the bridge will remain open so that we can drive over for this visit.

(Original Request) Dec 20 

Our family’s visa will expire in just a few days (on Christmas Eve), and although we have applied for our visa renewal well in advance (back in November), we have not received our renewal. Would you please hold us up in prayer this weekend? This is a big need for our continued service in this Land.

Middle School Winter Retreat is January 9-11th, 2026. Please pray for leaders as they prepare to lead and serve our students. Pray for our students as they anticipate this weekend and the nerves that come with that. Pray unity among all, safety throughout the weekend (and good road conditions). We are praying that the week after would be a time of reflection and conviction of what God did and taught them throughout the weekend.
