Local church stands and prays for Israel and victims of Helene

KINSTON, N.C. (WNCT) — On Saturday, people marched from Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library to the Lenoir County Courthouse to stand and pray for Israel, as well as pray for Helene victims. This was put together by Groundbreakers Ministries in Kinston, to give people a way to show support.

"We knew that this would be a critical time. The one year mark of all the hostages going into Gaza and we want to stand with that. We want the hostages to come home. But we also want Israel to know that during this time when there's so much turmoil in the world and they are having to stand against a lot of forces coming against them, Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran, all coming against them at one time that we as the church, we have to stand with them," said Sherri Ezzell, the founder of Groundbreakers Ministries in Kinston.
