Brothers and Sisters,

I received this in an email from Walid in Lebanon the other day. He has a very good friend named Bashir, a MBB from his church in Lebanon, who is now in Syria amidst all the unrest. Sadly, Bashir had fled to Syria a few months ago to escape the hostilities of Iraq:

May the Lord have mercy on His people where ever they are. I see trouble in Syria almost every day. On Friday, you may not see people on the streets because of fear of shooting. Our dear brother Bashir is still there; I think the Lord is preparing him for ministry through the trails he goes through where ever he goes.

Please pray for Bashir.
