Plenary 3 glaring missing Israel||I am not sure if my previous submission was uploaded as computers not working so well here!
Just to say that it was a glaring mistake not to have included Israel in the plenary last night when talking about a broken world with the Middle East as a focus. Lausanne you need to do better than this- this was a slight and an offense to your Jewish brothers. I don’t know how you can remedy this, but you need to note this. Please take Paul’s admonition in Roman’s 9-11 about the ingrafted branches not becoming conceited over the natural branches which were broken off seriously.

Need for Prayer Time for Middle East||1. Thank God for the 5 people on stage who shared what’s happening in the Middle East.
2. It would have been more consistent with the theme and spirit of reconciliation and as an encouragement to the presenters, that the whole congress be given say 1-2 mins after their sharing to pray at our tables or as a united voice standing up to pray for them.
3. Thank you.
