Fears of civil war grow in Lebanon
Posted by Robert Jimenez on May 16, 2008
Lebanon (MNN) — Lebanon’s identity crisis may be coming to a head as clashes between anti-government forces and the government intensified last week. SAT-7’s David Harder confirms that the fighting trapped some of their staff and could disrupt SAT-7 KIDS channel broadcasts. “Everyone is worried that the fighting could escalate, literally, becoming much more street-to-street fighting than what we’ve seen already. And that is the fear, that more groups would be drawn in, that the fighting will become more intense, involve more people and really become a civil war.” The instability threatens to disrupt some SAT-7 broadcasts because of distribution complications. Harder asks prayer for the team: “They’re going to continue to try to make programs and, like they have in the past, they’re able to bring in pastors who can speak about what life is like, relying on Christ, in the middle of a crisis. They’re not just speaking about it in theory, they’re living it. Viewers know when it’s real, and people respond.”
- Pray that the tension will not escalate into civil war.
- Pray that the hope of Christ will continue to be broadcast through SAT-7 programs, without interruption.
- Pray for protection and for creative inspiration for the program producers and writers.
