Dear Friends,
We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, July 20th at 7pm ET. These meetings bring forth insightful discussions and wonderful opportunities to come together in a thoughtful and prayerful way for our world. Joe will be our host. We would love to have you join us.
The article that we will consider together this week has a focus of IRAN WAR. The link is listed below. It is helpful to have read the article beforehand, but you are welcome to join us regardless. Feel free to share this email with others who might want to participate, as well.
Why US-Iran diplomacy is so out of sync: It’s style as well as substance
By Howard LaFranchi, Staff writer, July 16, 2026, 5:08 p.m. ET
WHY WE WROTE THIS
Each side in the U.S.-Iran war is internally divided on the way forward, making resolution of the conflict problematic. And President Donald Trump’s transactional approach doesn’t resonate with Iran, which is playing more of a long game.
We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.
Warmly
Your JP Monitor prayer team (Brian, Janell, Joe, Sarah and Tee)
