Last night, Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams! They have come back to us to learn more from God\u2019s Word and are asking how to follow Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n Professor Licona advised Christians all over the world to celebrate the report emanating from the underground ministries.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cI side with Israel in this war, not necessarily for theological reasons but because Hamas and those backing it are pure evil.<\/p>\n \u201cYet, I know that not all Palestinians support Hamas. In fact, they will be punished severely if even suspected of not supporting Hamas.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s pray that this war can be over soon and that Israel can eradicate Hamas so that Palestinians can be free\u2026.of Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the 2012 report of the Institute for Middle East Understanding, there are about 3,000 Christians in Gaza representing less than one per cent of the population of the region.<\/p>\n Al Jazeera however said the population today could be 1,000 or less.<\/p>\n Israel has been at war with Hamas in the Zaza Strip since October.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Lone Gaza Catholic church hit by airstrikes<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the only Catholic church in Gaza, Holy Family Church, has been hit in an airstrike,\u00a0Church Post<\/em>\u00a0has reported.<\/p>\n Aid to the Church in Need ((ACN) said the church suffered shrapnel damage from an airstrike on nearby buildings last weekend.<\/p>\n During the attack, water tanks and solar panels on the roof of the church were destroyed and building parish damaged.<\/p>\n The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem confirmed the development.<\/p>\n \u201cOnly a miracle prevented a big catastrophe from happening to us,\u201d a local ACN partner stated.<\/p>\n The newspaper reports that the Holy Family Church parish hosts the Rosary Sisters and a priest who care for 750 displaced Christians, including 100 children and 70 people with special needs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new report has said some Muslims in Gaza\u00a0have embraced the Christian faith after\u00a0seeing Jesus in their dreams,\u00a0Christian Headlines\u00a0said.
