In this edition of A Glorious Future, we explore the heart-wrenching journey of hostage families still awaiting answers and the quiet courage of Christians in Bethlehem enduring persecution during Christmas. You’ll also uncover startling truths about workplace discrimination against Jewish Americans and reflect on how the collapse of the Assad regime ties into Biblical prophecy. As Modern-Day Esthers, we are called to understand, act, and pray. Read on to be informed and inspired.
The Story of Hostage Negotiations and a Fallen Hero

Discrimination Against Jewish Americans in the Workplace
A recent study by the Anti-Defamation League highlights troubling discrimination against Jewish and Israeli-Americans in the workplace. Applicants with Jewish affiliations reported significantly lower callback rates, revealing persistent biases that harm equal opportunity.
This report calls for action to ensure justice and fairness for all. As Christian Women For Israel, we must work to confront prejudice and build bridges of understanding in our communities.
Watch Video: Bethlehem This Christmas
In Bethlehem, Christians, like Pastor Khoury, help their communities cling to their faith despite daily persecution and hardships. This Christmas, your generosity can go even further. A donor will match every gift, so your $50 donation will provide food baskets for two struggling families instead of one. “These baskets remind us that God provides through His people. We may live in hardship, but our hope is in the Lord.” Will you help bring hope to Bethlehem this Christmas?
For such a time as this, will you stand in the gap for Bethlehem Christians?
Prophecy and the Modern Middle East
Modern-Day Esthers, have you ever wondered how current events in the Middle East might align with Biblical prophecy? As we witness the dramatic collapse of the Assad regime in Syria—a nation historically tied to hostility against Israel—it’s hard not to ask: Could this be part of God’s unfolding plan?
Winners and losers in the Middle East: The story so far
For Turkey and Qatar, net gains. For Iran, and its Palestinian and Lebanese proxies, net losses. For Israel, the jury is out. After more than a year of bloody conflict in the Middle East sparked by the Hamas pogrom in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, it’s becoming clearer as to which of the multiple parties involved have registered net gains and which net losses.

A Glorious Future Awaits
Harry Truman once said, “I had faith in Israel before it was established; I have faith in it now.
