Tartus has a rich and full history including crusader wars. It is home to a Russian naval facility and is the second largest port city in Syria. Fishing and agriculture are its main industries, and it is a vacation spot for many Syrians in the summer.
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14
Lord, may the people of Tartus, who rely so much on the Mediterranean Sea and the port, come to know and believe in the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. May they trust You, Lord, even more than they trust the sea and port to provide for them. May they not only come to know the One who walked on water but may they spread it to their nation and beyond.
