We are so thankful for these precious soldiers, who fight for our safety and with our love and prayer we can give them a hint of how thankful we are. The believers from the nations are such a surprise (since they thought the whole world hates them and here love is abundantly poured out on them), encouragement (their faith is mesmerizing and provoking them to a healthy jealousy) and empowering (our prayers build a wall of protection and strengthen their faith).
