Reconstruction advances under Trump’s international Board of Peace, rebuilding homes without empowering militants, rejecting forced displacements in favor of just governance that honors life. This framework reflects biblical justice and mercy, as Micah 6:8 calls us to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” We celebrate Trump’s unyielding diplomacy, a testament to America’s constitutional leadership in fostering stability, and stand resolute with Israel, our blessed ally, as Genesis 12:3 promises: “I will bless those who bless you.” U.S. Vice President JD Vance wrapped his Jerusalem visit urging patience on hostages while warning Hamas of obliteration if they falter, reinforcing our sacred bond against evil.
