Christian ministry in the Middle East and Israel

 update by Mike Evans

Jerusalem Prayer Team

"I'll never forget that question! It was just before the first Gulf War started, and I had flown to Saudi Arabia to preach the Gospel. I arrived in Dhahran and encouraged the Saudis on the street to come near to hear the message of Jesus, and a large group did come.

As I prepared to speak, I could hear the voice of Satan saying, “Do not open your mouth. If you do, you will be beheaded.” I paused and something came out of my mouth which I will never forget. I said, “Before I preach, we are going to sing a song.” Immediately, I realized how absurd my statement was—I can't sing! As I hesitated, the air was filled with what sounded like the voice of an angel of the Lord. I turned and standing behind me was an African-American sergeant who had been watching me. He sang with the most incredible baritone: “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” Tears streamed down my face. I didn't know that soldier and had no idea he was there.

The following day, through a miracle of God, I was able to share the Gospel with Mohammad Khalid, who was the governor of Dhahran, the head of the Saudi Royal Air Force, and a nephew of the king. He took me with him to a meeting with the Egyptian Third Army and the Syrian High Command. At the end of the meeting, he asked me to introduce myself while he interpreted for me. Instead, I introduced Jesus.

He said to me, “Would you like me to show you where we cut off heads on Thursdays?” I said, “No, my schedule is totally filled on Thursday; I have no time.” He laughed. Years later, I met three Philippine pastors as I preached a crusade near the Bay of Manila to over a quarter-million people. They cried and hugged me and told me they had been condemned for preaching the Gospel in Saudi Arabia. Mohammad Khalid had commuted their sentences and deported them. He said to them, “You can thank Mike Evans who told me about your Jesus and his cross.”

The power of God is great! And He can and does work miracles when we obey His voice. Today, I'm asking you to heed His voice and help His Chosen People in a special way.

As you know, when I was in Israel I went to Haifa and met a large group of Holocaust survivors who are living in desperate need. I told them we would help because I knew you would want me to say YES! We need to raise $150,000 immediately to pay for the expenses of delivering food to 2,000 Holocaust survivors each week and to renovate four apartments to provide housing to homeless Holocaust survivors. We also must make the next payment on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center by the end of the year. The payment that is due is $430,000.

That means that by the end of the year we must raise $580,000. In the natural, this is completely impossible. But with God all things are possible! Dear friends have provided a matching gift offer to double the impact of your gift. That means we need $290,000. The only way this miracle can happen is with your help. I am asking you today to send a generous, even sacrificial, gift to bless the Jewish People.

When we bless Israel, we bless what God wants blessed…and that turns His head and moves His hand to action in your life. And remember that your gift today will be doubled through the matching gift offer. So far 1,165 loving friends have given $127,990. That means we still need $162,010.
        With your gift of any amount…

We will send you this beautiful 2014 Jerusalem Prayer Team calendar.

This fourteen-month calendar is filled with amazing scenes from Israel and Scripture verses to encourage your prayers throughout the year.


          With your gift of $100 or more…

We will send you the calendar and this Star of David afghan.

The unique design of this afghan allows it to hang over a chair or couch with the design showing on both sides. It is our gift to express our gratitude for your support as we stand with and for Israel.

   
        With your gift of $250 or more…

We will send you the calendar and this stunning Torah Scroll.

In addition, your name or the name of someone you wish to honor will be placed on a special Scroll of Honor in the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center.

   
Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team today allows us to continue our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center, to stand up and speak out for Israel, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs among the poor Jewish people living in Israel.

Praclaming Jesus to the world

 Jerusalem Prayer Team


"Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh—very different  from what most people think
We all know of the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus, but those gifts aren't what most people think they were. Gold, frankincense and myrrh were not gifts for a baby; they were the burial items for kings. From the moment Jesus came into the world, He came to die to be the Savior of the world.

Jesus knew His purpose. Just before the crucifixion, Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples. Years ago, an aged rabbi, then the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, told me that the custom of the Jews was to sing Psalm 118 at the Passover. When I read that Psalm, I was astonished at the power of the words—and their fulfillment in the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Christ.

    Verse five: “I call upon the Lord in my distress.”
Verse six: “I will not fear what man can do to me.”
Verse ten: “All nations compassed me about.”
Verse seventeen: “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.”
Verse nineteen: “Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will go into them…”
Verse twenty-two: “The stone which the builders refused has become the head of the corner.”
Verse twenty-four: “This is the day which the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Verse twenty-seven: “God is the Lord which has showed us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.”

As you prepare to celebrate this wonderful holiday and the birth of our Savior, remember that He was born to die for you! God loves you so much that He gave the best gift in all of history when He sent His Son to earth. My prayer is that you will have a blessed Christmas and that 2014 will be the greatest year of your life. I speak favor over you, your children, grandchildren, your dreams and visions, and everyone you love. And I ask that you stand with us through your gift of support and love for the Jewish People.

I was in Israel last week as your Ambassador to assure the Jewish People that their Christian friends are standing with them. Sadly, the need for support of Israel and the defense of God’s Chosen People is greater than ever today. But together, we can make a difference. That is why we hosted wonderful Hanukkah parties for Holocaust survivors…and committed to do even more to help them.

Even as we increase our efforts to touch the lives of Holocaust survivors and work to meet their ongoing needs, we cannot delay our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center. This vital witness of Christian love to the entire nation of Israel will only become a reality if we work and give today. And remember that your gift today will be doubled through the matching gift offer.
        With your gift of any amount…

We will send you this special Jerusalem Prayer Team prayer pouch.

This is a great resource for your prayer life. The pouch contains two notepads, one for prayer requests and the other for praises and answered prayers. It will strengthen your faith greatly as you look back and see how God has worked in answer to your petitions to Him.

   
        With your gift of $30 or more…

We will send you the prayer pouch and this Jerusalem Prayer Team travel mug.

This striking stainless steel mug is perfect for your hot drinks this winter, and everywhere you take it people will know that you are committed to praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

   
    When you send your gift of $100 or more…

We will send you the prayer pouch and this lovely Garden of Gethsemane prayer shawl.

There was no place of prayer more special to Jesus than the Garden of Gethsemane. This beautiful shawl will be a great addition to any home or office, and a reminder of your belief in the power of prayer.

   
        If you are able to send a gift of $250 or more…

We will send the prayer pouch and this stunning Torah Scroll.

In addition, your name or the name of someone you wish to honor will be placed on a special Scroll of Honor in the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center.

   
Perhaps you would like to do even more.
    If you are able to send a gift of $1,000 or more…

We will send you the prayer pouch and this massive collection of 12 of our most popular and requested books and resources, including several of my newest, best-selling titles.    
       
    We will also place your name or the name of someone special you wish to honor or remember in the Hall of Righteous Gentiles in the Jerusalem World Center.

Jerusalem Prayer Team
                                                                                                                            
               Update  about the Christian ministry  in  Jerusalem, by Mike Evans,

"Shalom from Jerusalem. I got up early this morning for a special time of prayer for God’s blessing in your life. I just have to share this story with you—but I warn you in advance that it made me weep.

We were in Haifa for a Hanukkah celebration for Holocaust survivors earlier this week. Most of the Holocaust survivors who came to Israel arrived by ship at the port of Haifa, and many of them stayed. In fact, the largest number of Holocaust survivors in Israel is in Haifa, and so many of them are desperately poor and in need of help. The director of the outreach there was so glad to see us and so appreciative of the furniture your generous support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team provided for them.

He told me that when they feed the Holocaust survivors, they pass out numbers so these elderly people don’t have to stand in line for lengthy periods of time. As he was going through passing out numbers, one elderly man looked at him and said, “I already have my number.” Then he rolled up his shirt sleeve and showed the prison camp number tattooed on his arm!

I wept as I heard that story. These precious people have suffered so much, and they need to see true Christian love in action. I told them we would help more because I knew you would want me to say yes…but that means I need your help today. Your gift for the Jerusalem Prayer Team today is literally food in the mouths of the hungry and warm clothes on their backs.

Even as we increase our efforts to touch the lives of Holocaust survivors and work to meet their ongoing needs, we cannot delay our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center. This vital witness of Christian love to the entire nation of Israel will only become a reality if we work and give today. And remember that your gift today will be doubled through the matching gift offer.

    With your gift of any amount…

We will send you this Jerusalem Prayer Team notepad and a special Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem decal.

We must never lose sight of the vital spiritual battle that we are fighting for the future of Israel and the Jewish People, and these are great prayer reminders—and a great way to share your love of Israel with everyone who sees them.

          With your gift of $30 or more…

We will send you the notepad and decal and this Star of David mizpah necklace.

For centuries, mizpah jewelry—divided into two pieces to signify togetherness even when two people are apart—has been a token of great love. You can share one piece with someone special to you, or if you prefer, we will send one half of your necklace to a Holocaust survivor in Israel as a symbol of your love for them.

        When you send your gift of $100 or more…

We will send you the notepad and decal and this beautiful Comfort Ye My People afghan.

Together, we are fulfilling God’s ancient command to bring help and healing to His Chosen People. Everyone who sees this lovely color afghan will know that you stand firmly with Israel and the Jewish People.

        If you are able to send a gift of $250 or more…

We will send the notepad and decal and this stunning Torah Scroll.

In addition, your name or the name of someone you wish to honor will be placed on a special Scroll of Honor in the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center.

Perhaps you would like to do even more.

Christian work in Jerusalem

 Donate online
 Jerusalem Prayer Team
 Update by Mike Evans

"As I prayed this morning, the Lord reminded me that He said, “give and it shall be given unto you”…so I am going to pray my heart out for every Jerusalem Prayer team member, and I want every Jerusalem Prayer Team member to join me in prayer right NOW.

When was the last time thousands of praying saints prayed for you? Imagine saints from more than 120 nations—Israel, along with countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the islands of the seas—praying specifically for your life and needs. Well, that moment has come; and it is right now.

I have a Divine assignment the Lord gave to me to unite all of our Jerusalem Prayer Team members to pray for YOU. Please open the palm of your right hand right now so that you can see it and look at it as we pray together. I ask that you pray this prayer out loud, just as I am doing:

    “Lord Jesus, Your hands were nailed to an old rugged cross for me. Your back was stripped open for me. You declare in Your Word that by Your stripes I am healed. Father, I set myself in agreement with Mike and Jerusalem Prayer Team members from all over the world who are praying for me right now that I am healed in Jesus' name, physically, financially, and emotionally; that my family is healed, all of them in Jesus' name; that every curse is broken, and the blessing of God is flowing over me. You said, let the weak say, ‘I am strong,’ so I declare it loudly in Jesus' name: I am strong. Satan, you will not rule over my mind and my emotions anymore. You are a liar, and I rebuke you in Jesus' name.”

And I am also asking you to join hands with me in an urgent effort on behalf of Israel today. The Jewish People are facing a struggle for their very survival, and they need our help right now.

The work that we have done in Jerusalem with renovating the massive bomb shelter there into a community center for Holocaust survivors has been a witness to the entire nation. Because of that demonstration of compassion, others have requested our help. Many Holocaust survivors in Israel have no permanent residence; others live in tiny, dilapidated apartments that are in terrible condition.

These precious people who have endured so much pain, suffering, and loss urgently need help with housing. They also need help with food, clothing, and transportation for things like medical appointments. In short, we have been asked to transform the lives of these precious people.

Of course, as you know we are in the final push to pay for the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center. We cannot stop work on this great lighthouse of true Christian love…but neither can we close our ears and our hearts to this plea for help.

What we are able to do to meet this need will be determined by the response of our Jerusalem Prayer Team members—generous and loving friends like you. If you give as God leads, we will be able to make a huge impact on this great need…and more important, we will be able to show true Christian love to the Holocaust survivors and the whole house of Israel."

I am making an emergency trip to Israel
as your ambassador- update by Mike Evans


"As the crisis in the Middle East continues to unfold, I am making an emergency trip to Israel as your ambassador. The Jewish People are in turmoil today. Syrian leaders are threatening to use what they call “strategic weapons” against Israel. Given the deaths of hundreds in Damascus in a chemical weapons attack, this is no idle threat.

The demand for gas masks, along with food and medical supplies needed to survive such an attack, is staggering. The government does not have the resources to meet the need. Today, I am asking you to send a special emergency gift to help the people of Israel in this urgent crisis. I want to take your gift with me so that we can purchase and distribute this life-saving help to the poor of Israel.

The members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team—loving and generous friends like you—have already paid to renovate a massive bomb shelter in Jerusalem for the elderly Holocaust survivors who live nearby…but we must do even more. I am asking you to send your generous gift today so that we can provide help to so many more and continue our efforts to bless, encourage, comfort, and support the Jewish People during this crisis.
        For your gift of any amount…

We will send you this new Star of David bookmark.

Each time you see it, you will be reminded of the promises of God to bless those who pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

   
        With your gift of $30 or more…

We will send you the bookmark and a copy of my new book Countdown.

God's prophetic clock is ticking, and you need to know what is really going on right now…and what is coming next. If you are able to send a gift of $80 or more, we will send you an autographed, hardback copy of Countdown.

   
        With your gift of $250 or more…

We will send you the bookmark and this stunning Torah Scroll.

In addition, your name or the name of someone you wish to honor will be placed on a special Scroll of Honor in the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center.

   
Perhaps you would be able to do even more.
    With your gift of $1000 or more…

We will send you the bookmark and this large silver-trimmed Yemenite shofar.

I have one of these in my office, and it is amazing. We will also place your name or the name of someone special you wish to honor or remember in the Hall of Righteous Gentiles in the Jerusalem World Center.

Supporting Israel

 donate online
 Jerusalem Prayer Team
update by Mike Evans

"URGENT: We are in urgent need of funds for war protection efforts through the Operations Center at your Jerusalem World Center and the Jerusalem bomb shelter/community center. Will you please send an emergency gift today?

My friend of more than 30 years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has given a stern warning to anyone who attacks Israel—whether Syria, Iran, Egypt or a terrorist group. He promised that Israel will respond swiftly to any such strike against its people. Many times, Mr. Netanyahu has told me how much he appreciates the prayers and support of Christians around the world—and I am asking you to stand with him and with Israel once again today.

Your gift today to help us create a lighthouse of true Christian love is a blessing to Israel and to God's Chosen People at a time when they need it most, and I know that God will bless you according to His promise in Genesis 12:3. There is no question that Israel is facing serious threats and challenges. The Jerusalem Prayer Team is uniquely positioned to help meet the urgent needs of the Jewish People at this crisis moment. Because of our long history of meeting needs in Israel, the people there know we can be trusted and depended upon to respond. I need your help today to meet this crisis need.

When you support the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we stand with and for the Jewish People, you are in agreement with God's heart. You are supporting and blessing “the apple of His eye.” And because of that, you WILL receive His blessing! And your support is so urgently needed right now as the clouds of war loom darker every day.

Today you can fulfill the prophetic Word of God to bring a light to the nation of Israel by helping the Jerusalem Prayer Team build the first Christian museum in the nation of Israel. When tens of thousands of Jewish people go through the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center to hear the story of Christian love for the first time ever, you will be fulfilling prophecy; they will call you “blessed.” Please do your very best today to help us make this wonderful dream come true.

This story can only be told with your help. We must make the next payment today. So far 1,975 friends have given $189,130. That means we still need $60,870. Please join me right now in praying a commanded blessing on every friend who takes part in this effort.
        For your gift of any amount…

We will send you this Prayer Card Pouch.

Designed especially for members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, this is a great way to keep track of both what you are praying for and how God has answered your prayers.

   
        With your gift of $40 or more…

We will send you the prayer card pouch and this ornate mezuzah.

For centuries Jewish people have placed mezuzahs by the door of their homes in obedience to God's command. This beautiful piece is both a link to a great heritage of faith and a wonderful reminder of your commitment to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

   
        With your gift of $100 or more…

We will send you the prayer card pouch and this “Comfort Ye My People” afghan.

 Jerusalem Prayer Team
update by Mike Evans

"Residents of northern Israel remain on heightened alert after the first terrorist attack in the region in quite some time. Four rockets were fired into Israel from Lebanon this week, and a group aligned with Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack. Israel is surrounded by enemies on every side, and the Jerusalem Prayer Team is doing everything we can to help.

The largest bomb shelter in Israel for Holocaust survivors is also a community center where they receive food, clothing, transportation and even medicines—and it's all because of your support. It has air conditioning, television, Internet, phones and a lovely kitchen...and we are working right now to improve it by providing a motorized chair for the stairs and many other upgrades. We will have a wonderful party there next month during the Feast of Tabernacles for these precious people, but we can't do it without your help.

Today you can fulfill the prophetic Word of God to bring a light to the nation of Israel by helping the Jerusalem Prayer Team build the first Christian museum in the nation of Israel. When tens of thousands of Jewish people go through the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center to hear the story of Christian love for the first time ever, you will be fulfilling prophecy; they will call you “blessed.” Please do your very best today to help us make this wonderful dream come true.

Cast in solid pewter, the plate features Psalm 122:6 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Proudly displayed on the doorpost of your home, it will serve as a daily reminder that the blessings of God will surround your life as you “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.”

We will send you the pewter door plate and this Star of David Mizpah necklace.

Mizpah jewelry is a symbol of heartfelt trust, friendship, good will and love between two people. You can share one half of your necklace with a loved one, a friend, or a family member.

No matter which option you choose, we know that you will love this beautiful necklace!

     With your gift of $100 or more…

Jerusalem Prayer Team

We must continue working on the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center. This wonderful museum will be a witness of love and hope to the Jewish people from the Holy City until the Lord returns, but we must complete the project. We must raise the remaining half of the funds for the fourth floor and make the second payment of $411,500 by today. It is critical that we keep on schedule; the grand opening is scheduled for September 2014, and the nation of Israel is already talking about this unprecedented witness of Christian love. Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar, so we must raise $205,750. So far 1,540 loving friends have given $166,035 which will be doubled to $332,070. That means we still need $39,715.
        For your gift of any amount…

We will send you this beautiful Psalm 91 print and a matching bookmark.

I know these beautiful words will strengthen and encourage your faith.

   
        With your gift of $50 or more…

We will send you the print and bookmark and this lovely Touching the Hem of His Garment figurine.

Few stories in Scripture demonstrate faith in action better than the woman who believed she would be healed if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' robe. You will enjoy displaying this piece in your home or office.

   
        With your gift of $100 or more…

We will send the print and bookmark and a copy of the Jerusalem World Center Study Bible.

Prepared especially for members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, this beautifully bound King James Version features special study helps and notes that I know you will use again and again, including a concordance, center-column reference, Messianic Prophecies of the Old Testament, Miracles and Parables of our Lord, and much more.

   
Remember that your gift today will be doubled by the matching gift offer to do twice as much to help us reach this urgent goal.

"Yesterday, I had breakfast with my prayer partner for the past thirty-three years, former Secretary of the Interior James Watt. He held this position during the Reagan administration. In this office, Jim was asked to swear in new members of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council at the Holocaust Living Memorial in Washington, D.C. One of those present at the time was Dr. Elie Wiesel. I want to share with you some of what Jim said:

“The story of the Holocaust is frightening. The story does not start with the criminal torture of you and the destruction of the Jewish people. It came first with an attack on the moral and spiritual values of life. The German people were conditioned to hate and be intolerant to the Jewish people before the methodic killing and destruction of human life. Good people lived in the towns nearby, but they did not get involved to stop Auschwitz. They did not concern themselves with Dachau nor any other place of human destruction. The apathy and non-involvement of the good people, the Church people in Nazi government activities in the 1930s, made it easy not to smell the burning stench of human flesh in the 1940s.

“Ignoring discrimination in the 30s allowed the good people, the Church people to be closed to the realities of torture, murder, and abuse in the 40s. The surprise of the Hitler era was not that one man could be so evil, but that so many good people could do nothing. How could the German Church live with all the evidence that would point to the massacre of six million Jews? How could good people live in the towns nearby, smelling the stench, and not do something about it? How could they see the thousands of people hauled by train or marching through their towns never to return, and not do something about it? How could they live next door to people who worked in those institutions of death without doing something about it? How could they worship in their churches within eye-view of the concentrations camps and not do something about it?

“The Simon Wiesenthal Holocaust Memorial Holocaust Center in Los Angeles has on one of its walls a picture of one survivor of a German death camp, pointing with shame to pictures of the world’s political and religious leaders of the 1930s and 40s. Below the picture of the survivor are the words which have been seared in my mind forever, ‘Here is to the world that did not care; those who had ears but did not hear; those who had eyes, but did not see; those who had mouths but would not speak.’”

These are the words of Secretary Watt, my beloved prayer partner. He understands the importance of what we are doing at the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center in Jerusalem. We are telling the narratives of real Christians who did something while risking their very lives—as did the ten Boom family. Unfortunately, many of the Jewish people have never heard these stories. Through the grace of God and your generosity, they will.

Today you and I have been chosen by God to stand in defense of Israel. The Jewish people are under attack and facing threats on every side. They need to know that they are not alone—that their Christian friends around the world are standing with them. That is why we are working so hard on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center.

We have been given a one-week extension to raise the remaining half of the funds for the fourth floor and make the second payment of $411,500. It is critical that we keep on schedule; the grand opening is scheduled for September 2014, and the nation of Israel is already talking about this unprecedented witness of Christian love. Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar.
        For your gift of any amount…

We will send you this beautiful Psalm 91 print and a matching bookmark.

I know these beautiful words will strengthen and encourage your faith.

   
        With your gift of $50 or more…

We will send you the print and bookmark and this lovely Touching the Hem of His Garment figurine.

Few stories in Scripture demonstrate faith in action better than the woman who believed she would be healed if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' robe. You will enjoy displaying this piece in your home or office.

   
        With your gift of $100 or more…

We will send the print and bookmark and a copy of the Jerusalem World Center Study Bible.

Prepared especially for members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, this beautifully bound King James Version features special study helps and notes that I know you will use again and again, including a concordance, center-column reference, Messianic Prophecies of the Old Testament, Miracles and Parables of our Lord, and much more.

   
Remember that your gift today will be doubled by the matching gift offer to do twice as much to help us reach this urgent goal.
Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team today allows us to continue our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center, to stand up and speak out for Israel, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs among the poor Jewish people living in Israel. Thank you so much for being part of this vital worldwide prayer movement.

update by Mike Evans

"More than fifty years ago, Jesus appeared to a nearly-dead 11-year-old boy (me) who had been strangled and left for dead by his own father. When I saw Jesus, my life was transformed. In an instant, I was healed from a stomach ulcer, and my stuttering stopped forever. The fears that had bound me were scattered away, and a sense of peace overwhelmed me. I didn't know everything then that I know now, but I knew I had been touched by the hand of God.

Today I am praying for that transforming touch on your life. I am asking God to respond with a Divine miracle blessing- the Aaronic blessing that will cover you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet- as you bless His Chosen People. When you sow a seed, even during a time of famine, you will reap His harvest.

I am asking God for a miracle...both for your life and needs, and for the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center. There is no question that God is working in this project. It is His purpose and His timing. Jerusalem is Ground Zero for spiritual warfare in our world today. It is the target of the enemy, and it is vital that you and I do our part to not only pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but to support Israel's right to her capital city.

Will you help the Jerusalem Prayer Team bless Israel and encourage the Jewish people with your gift for the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center?

        For your gift of any amount…

It is a wonderful reminder of our responsibility to be lights in the darkness, bringing hope to God's Chosen People.

   
        With your gift of $30 or more…

We will send you the lamp and a copy of my new book Jerusalem: Where Heaven and Earth Met.

This book looks at the past, present, and future of the Holy City and explains the conflict between politics and prophecy that is shaping our world today.

If you are able to send a gift of $80 or more, we will send you an autographed hardback copy of the book as well as the oil lamp.

          With your gift of $250 or more…

God’s deliverance from ALL your fears

"I read in Jeremiah 1:10, 12, 14, and 17 during my devotions: "See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.... for I will hasten my word to perform it.... Out of the north an evil shall break forth.... be not dismayed at their faces." In verse 8, Jeremiah wrote, "For I am with thee to deliver thee." Verse 19 records, "They shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you, says the LORD, to deliver you."

Please stand on that scripture today. I know what it is to be afraid of faces. As a child, I was so fearful that I would not look anyone in the face. I walked with my head bowed all the time. I could not even look at my father because of fear, but God delivered me from all my fears.

Many years ago, God spoke to me to go to the north of Israel where Hezbollah was entrenched in Lebanon to preach the Gospel. I was told by Israeli intelligence that if I did that, I would be killed. I knew the Lord had sent me and would protect me…and He did. After preaching the Gospel in Sidon, I went down to Beirut to distribute Gideon Bibles to the Marines and share the Word and pray with them. That night, as I slept on the beachhead, I thought about an 18-year-old Marine from Wooster, Massachusetts, whom I had led to Christ. His last words to me that evening had been, "Please tell Mom that her prayer has been answered. I've given my life to the Lord as my personal Savior."



Early the next morning, the area was rocked by a huge explosion as Hezbollah terrorists targeted the barracks with a truck bomb. Two hundred forty-one troops were killed in the attack. We left Beirut in the Avis vehicle which I had rented in Jerusalem. Driving down a dirt road towards Israel, we came under fire from terrorist organizations in the area. As 135mm shells fell around the car, I realized ours was the only vehicle on the road, and it was a rental car with distinctive Jerusalem license plates. Spotlights were playing across the vehicle as night descended. We ran out of gasoline, and it looked as if we would be killed.

As we prayed, a young man who looked Arabic knocked on the window and held up a can of gasoline. There were no homes or villages near where we had coasted to a stop. He poured the container of gas into the vehicle, came back to the window, and pointed to the button. I unlocked the door, and he climbed into the car. Without saying a word, he pointed in the direction we were to drive and calmly led us 32 kilometers to the border of Israel. There is no way I could have found it without his help. A few yards before the border, he held up his hand indicating that I should stop. He opened the door and stepped out of the car. The colonel at the border said to me, "I informed the prime minister's office that you had died. I didn't think there was any possibility you could have survived."

I turned and pointed to the man who had saved our lives and said, "We are alive because of him." No one was there! You will never know how many angels God has assigned to protect you, the amazing things they have done on your behalf and will do even today. Those who fight against you shall not prevail, for the Lord is with you to deliver you.

It hadn’t ever rained before, but Noah still built the ark

 Update by Mike Evans,
Donate online
Jerusalem Prayer Team
"God told Noah to build an ark…and Noah obeyed. Noah’s obedience would ensure him, his wife, his three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives a place of safety. They would be spared the destruction that was about to rain down—literally—upon the earth. As he worked on the vessel, Noah preached righteousness to any who would listen. The response: ridicule, derision, mockery, and scorn.

Bible scholars tell us that before the time of Noah, it had not rained on the earth. The faithless were unable to accept by faith that God would fulfill His declaration—whether or not they knew what “rain” was. They had the choice to believe or reject…and the overwhelming majority chose unbelief and rejection.

When the Lord appeared to me when I was 11 after my father strangled me and left me for dead, I heard Him say, “Son, I love you and have a great plan for your life.” Like Noah, my word from God seemed impossible; I had a speech impediment, a stomach ulcer, hundreds of fears, and no self-esteem. But one word from Jesus changed my life forever. That was 8 million miles ago, more than 55 world leaders ago, more than 4000 meetings ago, and 47 books ago. That was four kids and nine grandkids ago. My ark was to hide in Jesus and obey His voice no matter what. God was greater than I thought, closer than I thought, more committed than I thought, and more ambitious than I thought.

Noah and his family obeyed the voice of God, the direction to enter the ark and be saved. Noah must have been quite an example to his sons who worked alongside their father to fulfill God’s directive. He obeyed despite the harassment. He had followed the instructions to gather the animals as outlined and see them safely inside. He had gathered food for the preservation of his family, all the while warning of the impending disaster. He was an obedient servant of Jehovah—the characteristic of a true servant of God.

Do you want to attract God’s favor in your life? Do you want to be like a magnet that draws good things from the Father? Do you want to be equipped to perform His work on earth? Do you want to activate the tools that will enable you to bless others? If you do, then you need to begin Living in the F.O.G. (Favor of God). Learn how you can get a copy of this life-changing book below with your gift for the Jerusalem Prayer Team today.

We have a huge opportunity right now to touch the world from the Holy City through the construction and equipping of our new Operations Center in the Jerusalem World Center. This will be the command and control center for everything we do, including organizing help for victims of terror, Holocaust survivors, and every possible need we can help meet. Our goal is based on the prophetic word of the Lord: “Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God” (Isaiah 40:1).

So far 2,470 loving friends have given $246,980 toward the Operations Center on the Ambassador Floor (5th floor) of the Jerusalem World Center, but we are still $28,020 short of reaching this crucial goal. But I have some wonderful news to share with you. A dear friend and partner has agreed to match your gift! Whatever you give today will be doubled. If you give $100, it is like giving $200. If you give $500, it is like giving $1000. Please be as generous as you can when you send your gift.

The team that will operate and manage all of these outreaches (and more in the future) is being assembled. We have legal, management, property development, construction, programming and other staff—and they must have a place to work. The fifth floor of your Jerusalem World Center will be the Operations Center…but we must make this happen now so we can stay on schedule for everything that is to follow.
        For your gift of any amount…

We will send you this brand new Star of David bookmark.

Each time you see it in your Bible or the book you are reading, you will be reminded of your commitment to stand with Israel and the Jewish people in prayer.

   
        With your gift of $30 or more…

We will send you the bookmark and a copy of my book Living in the F.O.G. (Favor of God).

In this book I reveal the most important revelation God has ever given me—a truth from Scripture that revolutionized every part of my life…and can do the same for you.

If you are able to send a gift of $80 or more, we will send you the bookmark and an autographed hardback edition of the book.

Only one person responded—but what a miracle

 Testimony of Mike Evans

Jerusalem Prayer Team
"It was 1991 during the first Gulf War. I had just had a nine-hour surgery for a serious neck problem, and I was physically discouraged. I threw my pain medications in the toilet and said, “God, I want to get my mind off of myself and do something great for you.”

He said, “Then go to Saudi Arabia and preach.”


Dr. Mike Evans in the Middle East during the first Gulf War
I said, “Lord, I can’t. I am Jewish, and they cut heads off there.” But I went as God commanded. In downtown Dhahran just before I was going to preach, I said, “We will have a song,” and a U.S. African-American soldier began singing “His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me”!

The next morning, the Lord said, “Go to the Dhahran International Hotel and shake the hand of the first man through the door and say 'May I go with you?'” I did, and that man said yes. I later learned he was a Saudi prince and a commander of the Saudi Air Force and multinational forces in the region. He interpreted as I shared Christ with the Egyptian high command officers and Syrian army leaders!

You see, the Lord promises us power only after we step out by faith and attempt something great for Him. I did what God said; radical obedience is when we do whatever He says no matter what. After days of preaching wherever God opened the door, I went to northern Iraq after the fighting ended to bring help and comfort to the Kurdish refugees who had been gassed by Saddam Hussein.

I heard the still, small voice of God instructing me to preach one last sermon on Jonah and Nineveh. I did the best I could, telling how Jonah rebelled against God but finally went to Nineveh. I told of the king’s repentance and the revival that broke out because of Jonah’s obedience. When I asked if anyone wanted to come to Christ, only one person responded—an old man in a dusty robe. I was as disappointed as Jonah had been. My interpreter was concerned about my reaction and asked, “Why aren’t you rejoicing?”

“I’m happy for one soul,” I said, “but I was hoping for more.”

“My dear brother,” the interpreter said, “the one soul who just found Jesus is the current king of Nineveh! He is the Kurdish sheik of sixteen provinces, and the capital is the site of ancient Nineveh. He has accepted Jesus and has invited you to go to Nineveh, because he believes if you will preach, they will repent.” Many, many people were saved there through that open door that God’s favor provided. Years later I was invited back to Iraq on a state invitation by the president just because he heard that I was willing to give my life to save his people.

What is God’s favor, and how can you live in it? Favor is “unmerited grace; regard shown by another, especially a superior; an act of kindness; a token of love; effort on one’s behalf.” Because you are His child, God, in an act of kindness and as a token of His love, extends unmerited grace and works tirelessly on your behalf. Not only does He bestow favor on you, He blesses you with favor and affirmation from those around you. Keep reading for how you can get this teaching that transformed my life…but first I must share this urgent need with you.

So far 2,470 loving friends have given $246,980 toward the Operations Center on the Ambassador Floor (5th floor) of the Jerusalem World Center, but we are still $28,020 short of reaching this crucial goal.

"Look to Jesus and be at rest"

 Update by Mike Evans,
Donate online

"We live in the “Me Generation,” where secular humanists, even in the pulpit, have fanned the flames of narcissism, hedonism, and self-gratification. The United States has never had so much stuff and been so unhappy. Millions are looking within for happiness, but the only problem is that doesn't work. You were not self-created; you can't tell yourself the purpose for which you were created. There is great truth in the words: “Look around and be distressed; look within and be depressed; look to Jesus and be at rest.”

We are hard at work with our Jerusalem team members who are bringing together the plans for the Operations Center on the Ambassador Floor. This will be the headquarters for all we will do in Israel. I signed the contracts by faith, believing that God will provide. The same God that parted the Red Sea and brought down the walls of Jericho will help us meet this great need.

Victor Frankl, a Jewish neurologist/psychiatrist, was given the opportunity to leave Nazi Germany for the United States. He chose to stay because of the commandment of the Bible, “Honor your father and mother.” In the concentration camp, most of his family perished, but Frankl survived. In his book, A Search for Meaning, honored by the Library of Congress, he states: “If man knows the why of his existence, he can bear almost any how.” Corrie ten Boom found that to be true in her life while she was also imprisoned by the Nazis.

A Gallup Poll revealed that 40 percent of Americans do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about the question. Frankl's study revealed that living a meaningful life corresponds with being a giver, not a taker, and that happiness without meaning is characterized by a relatively shallow, self-absorbed, even selfish life. I know you are a giver who loves and cares for others—especially the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, and today I am asking you to be part of something special to bless them.

We have a huge opportunity right now to touch the world from the Holy City through the construction and equipping of our new Operations Center in the Jerusalem World Center. This will be the command and control center for everything we do, including organizing help for victims of terror, Holocaust survivors, and every possible need we can help meet. Our goal is based on the prophetic word of the Lord: “Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God” (Isaiah 40:1).

The fifth floor of your Jerusalem World Center will be the Operations Center…but we have only eight weeks to make this happen so we can stay on schedule for everything that is to follow.

The budget for the Operations Center—including construction, furnishing, equipment and everything we need to get it up and fully running—is one million Israeli shekels…$275,000 US. I am asking you and every friend of the Jerusalem Prayer Team to respond today to help us meet this urgent need. Everything we are going to do in and through the Jerusalem World Center depends on getting the Operations Center up and running. So far 455 loving friends have given $36,120 toward this prophetic goal. Please join me right now in praying a blessing on their lives according to the promise of Genesis 12:3.

"Every crisis is an opportunity for us to trust God"

 Update by Mike Evans,

" The Bible says in Psalm 139, “You shaped me first inside and then out. You formed me in my mother's womb.” God created you for a purpose. God is greater than you think, closer than you think, more ambitious than you think, more committed than you think...and you can trust Him! Frame your world around the favor of God. Get out of your comfort zone.

As a child I was hated and beaten like a dog by my own father who believed I was not his son. He attempted to kill me when I was 11 by strangling me and leaving me for dead in the basement. It was that night when the God who created me healed me and called me to work for Him. Your God is much bigger than your mountain!

This is the good news: If you have any mountains that seem impossible to climb, the favor of God works best in the realm of the impossible. Psalm 5:12 declares, “For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield.”

Yesterday I had a major conference call with our Jerusalem team members who are working on the plans for the Operations Center on the Ambassador Floor. This will be the headquarters for all we will do in Israel. I signed the contracts by faith, believing that God will provide. The Savior who appeared to me at 11 and said, “Son, I love you and have a great plan for your life” is more than able to meet this need. I am so thankful that I am not alone in this step of faith; you and God are on the team. Together we live in the F.O.G., the Favor of God. We are truly walking by faith and not by sight.

Yes, the favor of God is when the realm of the impossible touches things beyond the grave which have eternal significance. Moses was called to pastor two million stiff-necked, rebellious people. Because of his obedience, God declared, “I know you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight” (Exodus 32:12).

The angel proclaimed to Mary in Luke 1:28, “Greetings, you who are highly favored. The Lord is with you.” Mary had the favor factor. She was super-favored. But this is what came next: You're going to give birth far from home to a baby who will appear to be born out of wedlock. He will be the Savior of the world, and you will watch Him die on a criminal's cross.

Crisis is an opportunity to trust God who can use you to do something that the world will know was through Him simply because it could not have been you. You can be a vessel to manifest His glory. Let the Spirit of God open your eyes to this revelation, and cease to be obsessed with what you are going through, but rather with what you are going to. I promise you once you get this revelation, I believe the Peace of God which surpasses all understanding, “will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7) as you enter into His favor.

We have a huge opportunity today to touch the world from the Holy City through the construction and equipping of our new Operations Center in the Jerusalem World Center. This will be the command and control center for everything we do, including organizing help for victims of terror, Holocaust survivors, and every possible need we can help meet. Our goal is based on the prophetic word of the Lord: “Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God” (Isaiah 40:1).

The team that will operate and manage all of these outreaches (and more in the future) is being assembled. We have legal, management, property development, construction, programming, and other staff—and they must have a place to work. The fifth floor of your Jerusalem World Center will be the Operations Center…but we have only eight weeks to make this happen so we can stay on schedule for everything that is to follow.

The budget for the Operations Center—including construction, furnishing, equipment, and everything we need to get it up and fully running—is one million Israeli shekels…$275,000 US.

Tonight sirens will wail across Israel

 Update by Mike Evans,
Donate online
Jerusalem Prayer Team

"Tonight at sundown Holocaust Remembrance Day begins. Across Israel sirens will wail, and for two minutes, the entire nation will come to a halt. Cars and buses will stop. Pedestrians will pause where they are. The nation will stop to remember the deaths of more than 6,000,000 Jewish people in the Holocaust.
It is impossible to really understand the nation of Israel without understanding the Holocaust and the tragic toll it took on so many families…including my own. Many of my mother’s relatives perished at the hands of Hitler simply because they were Jewish. Along with so many others, I have taken the holy vow “Never Again” and committed my life to defending, supporting, encouraging, and blessing the Jewish people.

But for tens of thousands of elderly people living in Israel today, the Holocaust is not a tragic story from the past; it is their own story. These survivors…some 200,000 of them…endured the hardships, torture, and abuse and lived to tell the story that must never be forgotten. Today I am asking you to help us touch their lives in love.

We have a community center dedicated to Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem. When I was recently in Israel, we had a wonderful Passover Party for Holocaust survivors that the members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team made possible. But our love and compassion for Holocaust survivors living in poverty is not just for special events or once in a while; it is every single day. The beautiful community center that we renovated for Holocaust survivors in Jerusalem distributes free food, clothing, and other basic necessities of life, but we need to do even more…and we can’t do it without you.

I am asking you today to send a special gift. Holocaust Memorial Day begins at sundown today—a day set aside to remember the tragic loss of more than six million Jewish lives at the hands of Hitler. I can’t think of a better way for us to remember this day than by reaching out in love and compassion to those who endured this awful suffering.

Next week will mark the anniversary of Corrie ten Boom’s birthday on April 15th. She and her family risked their lives—and many of them perished—to save 800 Jewish people from the Holocaust. As Chairman of the Board of the ten Boom House and Museum, I am asking you today to continue that legacy of love and compassion with your gift to help the Jerusalem Prayer Team do even more to meet the urgent needs of the elderly Holocaust survivors living in Israel. Since 1988, we have opened the doors to the ten Boom house free of charge to all who come.

“The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the LORD, and the LORD will repay him for his good deed” (Proverbs 19.17).


Most Jewish people have never seen an act of compassion and love from a Christian. Unlike those Jewish people who took refuge in the ten Boom home and ate and prayed with them daily, most Jewish people alive today have never experienced that kind of care and love. But together we can show it to them, and we need your help.
When you send your gift of $35 or more, we will send you a copy of the wonderful book The Hiding Place as well as a special Corrie ten Boom notebook filled with information about Corrie and her family along with reproduced pages from her personal journal. These are treasures that you will enjoy and want to share with friends.
   
If you are able to send a gift of $77 or more, we will send you this special clock. This beautiful piece is a reminder of the ten Boom’s family clock business and their beautiful heritage of love and compassion and sacrifice for the Jewish people. It’s a great way for you to share your support of Israel with everyone who sees it.

"My prayer for you today"

Update by Mike Evans,
Donate online
Jerusalem Prayer Team

"In times of trouble, may the Lord respond to your cry! May the God of Israel keep you safe from all harm! May He send you help from His sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem! May He remember all of your gifts and look favorably on your offerings. May He grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans! May we shout with joy when we hear of your Victory flying banners to honor our God! May the Lord answer all your prayers! (Psalm 20:1-6)

There are nine amazing promises for you today in these six verses—a one-minute prayer that will change your life. Speak it out loud right now and meditate on it today. The Mighty Warrior is waiting and is ready to move Heaven and Earth for you; it’s a Heavenly Guarantee. These words poured from the heart of a terrified young man named David, and they changed his destiny. Since the time of David, they have been prayed over Israeli leaders and before battles. Scholars believed this prayer was part of public worship in the early church.


One word from God can change your life forever! On October 13,1958, I was defeated, depressed, and discouraged. My anti-Semitic father had strangled me and left me for dead. I was 11 years old, and my only goal was to live to 20 because I was sure my father would kill me before then. But one act of faith on my part triggered a heavenly response. You see, God knew my name and my need, and He knows yours also today. So join me in releasing your faith in claiming these promises.

You see, you and I have a choice—to walk in fear and self-pity or to walk to faith and hope. The reason David killed his Goliath was that his faith was greater than Israel’s fear. It’s time to trust Him rather than our human reasoning. Help is on the way—emotionally, spiritually, financially, legally, socially, physically—God can do whatever you need. Rather than allowing the problem to define you, let God define you. One promise alive in your heart and your mouth will provide provision in the midst of your predicament.

Today I am asking you to pray urgently and fervently for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of Israel. The world may be complacent about the danger they face, but we cannot afford to be, and I am asking for your generous financial help to support the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we stand with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.
We are working on the creation of the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center, and it is a massive undertaking. The amount of computer programming and production work required to make this an interactive, life-changing experience rather than just another museum is staggering. We are working with one of the leading high-tech companies in the entire world that specializes in creating this kind of dynamic exhibition.

But this investment is worth making because of the importance of sharing the message of Christian love with the Jewish people. It is a tragedy that while we as Believers have been thrilled to hear these stories, almost no one in the nation of Israel knows them. As a result of the long history of persecution and murder carried out by people who claimed to be acting in the name of Christ, the Jewish people often think of Christianity as a religion that is hostile to their people.
When you send your gift of $30 or more, we will send you a copy of my new book on Iran and Israel called Persia: The Final Jihad. Every student of Scripture knows how important Iran is to Bible prophecy, and this book examines what prophetic teaching and current events tell us about what is coming next. If you are able to send a gift of $80 or more, we will send you an autographed hardback copy.       
With your gift of $100 or more, we will send you a paperback copy of Persia: The Final Jihad and a copy of this stunning Auschwitz photo which was given to me in Israel on my recent trip by an Israeli Air Force General.
In every air force base in Israel, a photo of the train tracks leading into Auschwitz hangs on the wall. Over these tracks the German trains hauled rail cars filled with Jewish men, women and children to their death. When American pilots begged for permission to bomb the tracks to stop the slaughter of the innocents, they were refused. I know you will treasure this picture just as I do.       
If you are able to send $250 or more, we will send you an amazing Torah Scroll.
It is a treasure for your home or office, fashioned according to the traditions handed down for centuries. In addition we will put your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or remember on a special Scroll of Honor that will be a permanent part of the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center.       
Perhaps you would like to help in an even more significant way. With your gift of $1,000 or more, we will place your name permanently in the Hall of Righteous Gentiles in the Heritage Center.
This display will remind everyone who enters that Christian friends of Israel have made it possible for this wonderful center to exist. You may also choose to honor or remember someone special to you by having their name placed here forever.

The name you select will be carved into stone in the Hall of Righteous Gentiles—a lasting legacy of love that will remain as a witness until the Lord returns to Jerusalem. Everyone who enters the building can see your name and give thanks for your generosity and love. God says, See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me. (Isaiah 49:16)
If you are able to give $10,000 or more, in addition to the Auschwitz photo and Torah Scroll, we will memorialize your gift with a special Star in your honor in the Jerusalem World Center. For years the world has honored its celebrities as “stars”...but your gift is a lasting testimony and tribute to your generosity. Daniel 12:3 says, “They that turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever.”

"God’s plan for your victory today!"

Corrie ten Boom

"Second Corinthians 10:4-5 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” These verses contain three powerful instructions for winning spiritual warfare: pulling down, casting down, and bringing into captivity.
God knows that you are in a battle, and His plan is for you to win! A stronghold is a fortress created in your spirit that cannot be penetrated by physical weapons. God wants those fortresses brought down so that His Spirit can work in power. Strongholds begin with thoughts and imaginations. The progression described is that our thoughts left unchecked grow into imaginations which turn into strongholds in our lives.

Rather than allowing our spirits to be ruled by what we see and think, we should be ruled by the Word of God. When we speak the Word, we are thinking the Word. If you think thoughts that are from God, they create strong fortresses as they renew our mind and build our spirit. Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” We renew our minds with constant input from the Scriptures.

Your brain weighs approximately three pounds and has more than 12,000,000,000 individual cells. There are well over one hundred trillion connections between your brain cells that allow you to think, reason, and function. Like a computer, the output of your brain is determined by what you program into it. Is your mind filled with the thinking of the world, or with the thinking of God? A Christian who is walking in the power of the Holy Spirit and thinking with a renewed mind is a great danger to the kingdom of Satan.

The nation of Israel urgently needs our help, support, encouragement, and prayers right now. This is a prophetic crisis, foretold in the pages of Scripture. We are watching it happen before our eyes. Today I am asking you to join me in urgent prayer. As God leads, perhaps you would fast for one meal or one day as we pray together for His blessing and protection on His Chosen People.

And I urgently need your financial help as well. The work of the Jerusalem Prayer Team is vital, but we cannot continue without your support. This effort is completely supported by our members—friends like you who share our belief in the power of prayer and our love for Israel and the Jewish people.

This week Jewish people around the world are celebrating Passover. This is a holy and sacred time of year. The week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread is a celebration of God’s deliverance and protection for His people, but for the poor and hungry, especially for the elderly Holocaust survivors, it is anything but a happy time.

Today I’m asking you to help us provide food for the entire week of Passover for these precious people. I have been in Jerusalem to represent you as we share the message of hope and Christian love with them. Your gift today will provide meals for the hungry—meeting one of their most urgent needs. We will continue to distribute food and help throughout this festive week. Please send your gift today to bless the Holocaust survivors of Jerusalem and the poor of the house of Israel.
With your gift of $40 or more, we will send you this beautiful set of coasters. Made especially for members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, these blue and white coasters show the Star of David and the word “peace.” Every time you use them, you will be reminded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.       


When you send your gift of $100 or more, we will send you the coasters and a copy of the photo from Auschwitz that I received in Israel last week. This incredible picture will be a constant reminder to you to continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of Israel, as well as a great way to share the need for our prayers with everyone who sees it. I treasure this picture greatly, and I know you will treasure yours as well.
