‘Day of unspeakable joy’: Evangelical leaders react to release of Israeli hostages by Hamas

By Michael Gryboski, Editor

Wendell Vinson

Pastor Wendell Vinson, co-founder of CityServe International, issued a statement calling the hostage release "a miracle."

Vinson spotlighted CityServe Israel, noting that it has "been at work every day, helping individuals, families, and entire villages that were brutally attacked on October 7th."

"I pray that every person caught in the middle of this conflict — especially the women and children who simply want to live a life of dignity and rebuild their lives — can finally have a fresh start," he stated.

"This has been our prayer from the beginning, for Israel and for the people of Gaza, and now, our prayers have been answered."

Vinson called on Christians "to pray boldly for lasting peace in the Middle East, that Hamas will lay down their weapons and surrender, and for all of those whose family members did not return home alive."
