Sister H, a former Hezbollah member from Lebanon, shared her transformative journey during the GCM War Council. Raised in a Hezbollah family, she was committed to its cause until a vision of Jesus Christ called her to follow Him. This profound encounter led her to leave Hezbollah, seeing it as an instrument of Satan. Despite personal sacrifices, including being abandoned by her husband, Sister H is now a dedicated disciple-maker, spreading Christ's message of love and reconciliation.

The panel, titled "GCM War Council: Interviews from Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Mecca & Iraq," features six remarkable individuals, each of whom has found a new life in Christ despite their harrowing pasts. These disciples, including former Hezbollah extremists to an ultra-Orthodox Jew, share how their faith has transcended cultural and political barriers, offering a powerful testimony of peace and reconciliation through laying down their lives for their enemies in a region historically marred by division and hate.

A Call to Unity Amidst Escalating Tensions
As the Middle East faces escalating political tensions and the looming threat of war, this panel discussion highlights how faith in Jesus Christ offers a path to peace that transcends all cultural and political barriers. "In a time when everything indicates that there is potential imminent war in the Middle East, we must ask ourselves how Christians should respond," said Joel Richardson during the discussion. "The answer lies in Jesus Christ, who brings unity to every background, regardless of its past."

The panelists spoke candidly about their journeys from lives of extremism and deep-rooted animosity to becoming advocates for peace and reconciliation through the transformative power of Jesus Christ. "My heart aches and breaks as a follower of Yeshua when I see the suffering of women, children, and men everywhere—whether they are Palestinians, Lebanese, or Syrians," shared Brother Hersh from Israel. "As a disciple-maker, I see this as a great opportunity because people are losing trust in political saviors, and they are beginning to ask questions. This is a point where we can come in and have them look up."

The Role of the Global Church
The discussion also served as a call to action for Christians around the world, particularly those in the West. "I would say my message to the Western Church is to wake up. You've been sleeping for too long. God's plan will prevail, and you are God's plan," urged Brother Amir from Saudi Arabia. The panelists emphasized the importance of prayer, support, and solidarity with those facing persecution in the Middle East. "We need you to shine. My Jewish people need you to shine," said Brother Hersh.

A Vision of Hope and Reconciliation
This powerful discussion is not just a commentary on regional conflict; it is a testament to the transformative power of the gospel and a call for unity and action. As the world watches the Middle East with trepidation, Global Catalytic Ministries invites believers everywhere to join them in prayer and support for these brave disciple-makers who are living out their faith in some of the most challenging environments on earth.
