Praying for a Miracle: The Bibas Family’s Fate Hangs in the Balance

As reports from Israel suggest officials are bracing for the worst, the world holds its breath for the fate of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, their mother Shiri, and father Yarden, the last known children still held hostage by Hamas. Their story has gripped the hearts of millions—symbolizing both the horrors of October 7 and the desperate hope that still remains.

Israeli leaders have remained tight-lipped, but the government’s ominous silence is being seen as a signal that their fate may be grim. “The information we received is not good,” said Jimmy Miller, Shiri’s cousin. Yet, amid growing fears, families and supporters worldwide continue to wear orange in solidarity, praying that Hamas’s earlier claims of their deaths are lies. “Of course, I keep on praying that all the signs are wrong,” said Itamar Lippner, echoing the prayers of a nation refusing to give up hope.

Their story isn’t just Israel’s—it’s ours. It’s a call to intercede, to stand against evil, and to fight for truth. As Christian Women For Israel, we pray for the Bibas family’s safe return and urge you to never stop praying for every hostage still in captivity.
