As the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, Christian leaders around the world are calling for calm and prayer.

Pastor Rick Warren encouraged believers to “pray for peace and protection for all innocent lives,” while Franklin Graham noted, “In times like these, we must seek God’s wisdom and show compassion.”

Churches across the U.S., Europe, and parts of Africa have organized prayer vigils, with many referencing biblical teachings on peace and reconciliation. “We’re not here to take sides politically,” said Rev. Angela Mensah in Ghana. “We’re here to stand in the gap spiritually.”
