Deeper peace, not superficial calm
Prayer for peace takes on a fresh immediacy when you work in a conflict-torn land. But this prayer can still be a joy, not a burden. That's the view of Lance Matteson, who is Middle East field representative with American Near East Refugee Aid. This private, nonprofit organization, involved in relief and economic development, focuses primarily on the needs of Palestinian groups living on the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Lance, could you tell us about your organization and your specific job?
