This land still whispers the names of <strong data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"423\">Moab, Gilead, and Edom<\/strong> \u2014 places once spoken of by prophets and kings. The <strong data-start=\"475\" data-end=\"491\">Jordan River<\/strong>flows quietly through our nation, carrying memories of God\u2019s promises and miracles \u2014 of crossings into new beginnings and faith tested in the wilderness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"1015\">Our capital, <strong data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"671\">Amman<\/strong>, rises on its ancient hills, once the stronghold of the <strong data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"741\">Ammonites<\/strong> and later taken by King David\u2019s general, Joab. Today, it\u2019s a city of glass towers and bustling markets, a crossroads of trade and cultures. To the world, Jordan seems peaceful compared to its neighbors, but I know that true peace has yet to take root in many hearts here.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1017\" data-end=\"1405\">My people are proud, generous, and deeply tied to our traditions \u2014 yet most have never heard the message of Jesus. I often think of how David once conquered this city, but now I pray for a different kind of victory: not one of sword and power, but of grace and truth. I long for the <strong data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1316\">Son of David<\/strong> to reign over our hearts, bringing light to every home and hope to every desert place.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1594\">I believe God will write a new story for Jordan \u2014 one where dry land blooms with spiritual life, and this nation, known for its ancient faith, becomes a place of living faith in Christ.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KhOmYyQGLH8?si=zczxXxQznFjHPnHa\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\"
