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.

 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."

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.

"This touch from God changed my life, and it will change yours "

 donate online
 Jerusalem Prayer Team
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? We have been given an 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.

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…

Only one person responded—but what a miracle

 Testimony of Mike Evans
Donate online
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. But I have some wonderful news to share with you. 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.

If there was ever a time when we need to rally behind Israel, it is right NOW. We have a huge opportunity 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 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 an autographed hardback edition of the book.

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

We will place your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or remember in the Hall of Righteous Gentiles in the museum.



In addition, we will send you the bookmark, a copy of Living in the F.O.G. and this large silver-trimmed Yemenite shofar. I have one in my office, and it is both a beautiful piece and a great reminder to pray.        
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.

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

"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.

"God’s plan for your victory today!"

"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.

As I prayed on Mount Calvary last week, God put this verse in my heart for you

"As I was praying for you on the very top of Mount Calvary just a few days ago, the words of Jesus leaped in my spirit: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). I was forsaken and abused by my own father, so these words mean so very much to me, and I felt led to share them with you today. No matter what you have experienced, the love of God will never fail you.
As we prepare to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, I wanted you to hear these beautiful words—and remember that He has promised not only to come back for us, but to reward those who serve Him faithfully. Thank you so much for being part of the Jerusalem Prayer Team and helping us as we stand with and for the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.

Our work to defend Israel and the Jewish people through prayer is so vital right now. I spent last week in Israel as your ambassador to encourage a nation in crisis. I ask that you join me in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, and I ask that you stand with us financially right now. We will be caring for the poor of Israel, especially the elderly Holocaust survivors, all through the Passover week from your home in the Holy City, the Jerusalem World Center, and we must continue this great prayer movement on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people.

"God told to share this verse of Scripture with you for this day""

 Update by Mike Evans,
Jerusalem Prayer Team

"As I was praying for you this morning, the Lord spoke to me to encourage you and gave me this Scripture for you. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). I know this promise is true!
Years ago on Thanksgiving Day (which was also my 25th wedding anniversary), I was told that a terrorist was coming to kill me. My entire evangelistic team in the hotel was moved two floors down so they would be spared.

On my 40th birthday, I was told that a Jew-hating terrorist who had already killed two people, including a state trooper, had been arrested…with my name and address and a loaded gun on the front seat of his car.

In 1983 I preached to the Marines in Beirut, Lebanon, and gave them Bibles. A few hours later, a Hezbollah terrorist killed almost 250 of them. I was told I would never get out of Lebanon alive, but an angel of God delivered me.

I know what it is like to let the God of peace guard my heart and mind!

Please say this prayer with me out loud right now—the prayer I said in those crisis times: “God is greater than I think. God is closer than I think. God is more committed than I think. God is more ambitious than I think.”

In the Mighty Name of Jesus get up! Don't sit in the dust of your difficulties. Focus today on what you have left, not what you have lost... YOU can do ALL things though Christ who strengthens you!

When God told me to step out by faith and sign the contract for the Jerusalem World Center last year, every demon in hell screamed that the money would not come in. I shouted back at the Devil and said, “Go to Hell! I am doing a Great work for God, and my God shall supply ALL of my needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus.” I say that same thing concerning you today, rebuking Satan in the name of Jesus. (P.S.—NO, it is not cursing to tell the Devil to go to Hell!) The need was met, and the purchase was made. Now we are moving forward with work on the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center in this wonderful building, and I urgently need your help again.

"This question from God kept me awake all night "

 Update by Mike Evans,

"Not long ago, I spent an entire night in prayer—because of this question from God that kept me awake all night. He asked me, “Are you fulfilling Biblical prophecy?” In Zechariah 8:3, the prophet declares, “Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.”
The Psalmist declares in Psalm 132:4, “I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.” That is fulfilling Biblical prophecy. Second Samuel 7:10 declares, “Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more...” That is fulfilling Biblical prophecy.

What you and I are doing together through the Jerusalem Prayer Team is fulfilling Biblical prophecy and preparing for the Lord's coming. Psalm 102:16 says, “When the LORD shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His glory.” You are also fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 62:1-7:
    For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you. I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
You are fulfilling the prophecy that declares, “...for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem,” (Isaiah 2:3b). You are standing with the Jewish people, God's Chosen Ones, for as the prophet said in Zechariah 2:8, “...for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple (pupil) of His eye.” You are fulfilling Isaiah 49:22, “See, I will beckon to the Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.”

When tens of thousands of Jewish people will go through the Jerusalem World Center to visit the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center and hear the story of Christian love for the first time ever, you will be fulfilling prophecy. They will call you “blessed.” Thank you for fulfilling prophecy.

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.

"Have a breakthrough, not a breakdown! "

 Update by Mike Evans

Jerusalem Prayer Team

"This morning I read Revelation 11:5: “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Hallelujah! Meditate on that and you will have a breakthrough—not a breakdown. By the way, I have four steps for you to take that will help you have that breakthrough.
    S—Settle in your mind that Jesus reigns as King
T—Trust God's Word completely
E—Encourage yourself in the Lord
P—Put Jesus first
Many Christians try to make Jesus King. He is already King. You cannot crown Him King. He has already been crowned. You cannot make Him Lord. He is already Lord. He is greater than you think, closer than you think, more committed than you think and more ambitious than you think.

Today I am asking you to do something that will exalt the King of Kings in the eyes of the world and show His love to the Jewish people. I am going to Israel today as your Ambassador to bring comfort to a nation besieged by enemies and abandoned by friends. I will stand against those who seek to divide Jerusalem and curse Israel. 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.

I will be there 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.

In faith I have told the director of our outreach to go ahead and plan for a Passover Party and a major food distribution. However, we cannot do this unless you help. Please send your gift today to bless the Holocaust survivors of Jerusalem and the poor of the house of Israel.
When you send your gift today, we will send you this beautiful Jerusalem peace print. Since the City of David is the focal point of the enemy’s attack, it must be the focal point of our prayers as well. Suitable for framing, this lovely picture will be a constant reminder to you to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
If you are able to send a gift of $77 or more, we will send you the print and an amazing resource—the Rose Book of Maps, Charts & Timelines. This is a Bible study tool that has something for everyone. It will give you a new level of insight into the times, customs, and places of the people of the Word and a new level of knowledge concerning what is coming next.

Under God's protection

 "God stilled me in the midst of the storm"
Update and testimony by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
"When Christ appeared to me at eleven years of age and said, “I love you, son, and have a great plan for your life,” He stilled me in the midst of my storm. I would remain in the house of an abusive, Jew-hating father for another five and one-half years. Sometimes, God stills the storm; most times He stills us in the midst of the storm.
In serving the Lord for more than fifty years, I’ve learned that to have His affirmation requires radical forgiveness, generosity, humility, and obedience. The majority of the great miracles in my life happened in war zones—Saudi Arabia where I was threatened with decapitation for preaching the Gospel; in Somalia where al Qaeda terrorists attempted to kill me on the same day the Blackhawk helicopter was shot down; in Beirut, Lebanon, where more than 240 Marines were killed a few hours after I preached the Gospel and distributed Bibles to them; and in Israel with missiles flying over my head and people running through the streets to bomb shelters, and the Spirit of God saying to me, “Don’t run.” Even one year on my birthday, June 30, a terrorist headed for my home to kill me, having already murdered two people—one of them a state trooper, according to the ATF agent who called to tell me the news.

Your war zone may be unsaved loved ones or forgiving a person to whom you gave your heart and who has now slandered you. I want to encourage you that if you are struggling, broken-hearted, have a bad report from your doctor, have a situation with your child that doesn’t seem favorable, are depressed to the core of your soul, or can’t feel God’s favor, know this: you are not one-in-a-million; you are one in seven billion!

My book, Living in the F.O.G., was written to help you see this truth clearly. Living in the F.O.G. (Favor of God), is not about what you can get from God, but what you can give to God: “You, God, created absolutely everything…and it is for Your pleasure that they exist and were created” (Revelation 4:11, NLT).

And I encourage you today to join with me in defending the Jewish people from the awful threats they face. We must stand for Israel now more than ever. We received an amazing miracle to complete the purchase of the Jerusalem World Center. God greatly blessed, and so many friends gave generously and sacrificially so that we could make the payments on this beautiful five-story building. We give thanks to God for you and all those who gave to make this miracle a reality. But the building is simply a means to an end. It is not an outreach; it only enables us to do outreach.

After months of research, interviews, prayers, and seeking God’s direction, we signed a contract with Disk-In Pro, a leading Israeli hi-tech company, for the Christian Zionist Heritage Center. Disk-In Pro has done some of the most advanced and cutting-edge interactive displays and museums in the world, and we are working with them to bring the stories of Christian love to life for generations of Jewish people.

However, we now must make the first payment on their work as required by the contract. We have just received the invoice for $450,000. Our income this month is down more than fifty percent. We know that people care—but there is a sense that we have completed our work, and the task is done. But while we won a great victory, our work is far from done. We must continue to go forward. For twenty days, I am on a Daniel fast for this breakthrough. If you are led to join me for a day or a meal, I would be grateful. And I am writing today to ask for your help in making this payment so that the work on the Christian Zionist Heritage Center can continue.
See this update from Dr.Evans on the Christian Zionist Heritage Center

When you send your gift of $30 or more, we will send you a copy of my brand new book Living in the F.O.G.
I wrote this book to share the keys of receiving a miraculous measure of God’s favor and blessing. If you learn these principles and put them into practice, it will transform your life! If you are able to send a gift of $80 or more, we will send you an autographed hardback copy.       
If you are able to send a gift of $100 or more, we will send you this beautiful “For such a time as this” chenille throw.
This lovely piece features the text of Esther 4:14 and is a wonderful way to share your love and support of Israel and the Jewish people with everyone who sees it.       
We are excited about what will be accomplished through the Christian Zionist Heritage Center, but in order for it become a reality, we must quickly raise the funds so that the programming and design work can be done, and we can begin telling these wonderful stories. Please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today.

Your gift of support for the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we stand with and for Israel and the Jewish people is your personal act of love and kindness to bless God’s Chosen People. Your gift today makes it possible for this great worldwide prayer movement to continue at this crucial and prophetic moment in history.

Christian ministry in Jerusalem - update

           Christian ministry in Jerusalem- update by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
"A few years ago I was asked to speak at the ceremony at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem when Casper and Betsie ten Boom were added to the list of the Righteous among the Nations. They were recognized for their courageous and heroic sacrifices during the Second World War. They risked and eventually gave their lives to save more than 800 Jewish people from the death camps. It was one of the greatest honors of my life.
Casper ten Boom was in his 80’s when the Gestapo arrested him after the family was betrayed. The police told him he could go home and die in his bed if he would promise to stop helping the Jews. He said, “If I go home today, tomorrow I will open my door to anyone who knocks and asks for help. It would be an honor to give my life for God’s Chosen People.” After ten days in prison, he died. This is the story of Christian love for the Jewish people…but it is one most of the Jewish people have never heard.


We are working to show this love in practical ways through our humanitarian outreaches to the poor of Israel. We are also working to share the true stories of Christian love from the past with the Jewish people for generations to come—stories like the amazing courage and sacrifice of the ten Boom family in Holland.

Since 1988 when I purchased and restored the ten Boom home with the help of our Jerusalem Prayer Team members, the doors have been open at no cost. Every dollar raised goes directly to that work. I am the Chairman of the Board, and I pay all of my own expenses—flights, meals and hotels—because this message must be told. It is the purest work we can do. And though we continue to tell this story in Holland, we must tell it in Israel as well. Your gift today will help us reach out and minister to the Jewish people and tell them and show them true Christian love.
When you send your gift of $30 or more today, we will send you a paperback copy of my newest novel, The Locket.
Set during the Holocaust, it is a gripping story of love, courage and loss. This book follows the life of a young Jewish girl who finds out that the “boy next door,” Adolf Eichmann, has grown up to be the architect of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” It will challenge and stir your heart…and it also makes a great gift for a friend or loved one. If you are able to send $80 or more, we will send you an autographed, hardback copy of The Locket.       
And if you are able to send $100 or more, we will send you a paperback copy of The Locket and this beautiful color “Comfort Ye My People” afghan.
It is a lovely piece that will both decorate your home or office, as well as share your love for the Jewish people with all who see it.    
Please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today. Your gift of support for the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we stand with and for Israel and the Jewish people is your personal declaration of “never again!” As we remember those who perished in the past, we must do everything in our power to ensure that this great tragedy is never repeated. Your gift makes it possible for this great worldwide prayer movement to continue at this crucial and prophetic moment in history.

The poor of Israel are crying out for help—will you answer their pleas?

Update  Dr Mike Evans

"There are more than 200,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel today. They have suffered great horrors, beyond what we can imagine. Now in their elderly years, many of them are struggling again with deep poverty. Thousands of them cannot afford to buy food, pay rent, purchase medicine and heat their tiny apartments. So they go hungry and sit and shiver in the cold of winter. This is a great tragedy. I am writing to ask if you will join me to put food on their tables and warm clothing on their backs today.
Together we can show our love for God by showing His love to the poor of the House of Israel. Today they are suffering greatly from the cold of winter. There is no good time to be poor. I remember vividly digging through dumpsters when I was a boy looking for something to eat. But during the winter the problem is even worse as cold adds to the suffering of hunger and sickness for those who do not have enough money to buy food, medicine and housing, and also pay for heat.

Together we can tell them—and more importantly show them—that they are not alone! My heart is breaking over this suffering. Because you love Israel and the Jewish people, I am asking you today to join me in helping us meet these urgent needs. Together we can provide urgently needed food, as well as warm blankets, coats and hats to the poor of Israel. Your gift today will be God’s arms of love wrapped around a shivering Jewish man, woman or child.
When you send your gift to bless the poor of Israel, we will send you these beautiful “Comfort Ye My People” note cards.    

If you are able to send a gift of $40 or more, we will send you the note cards and this special plate designed especially for members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team.    
If you are able to send a gift of $100 or more, we will send you the note cards and this lovely color “Comfort Ye My People” afghan.
It’s a great prayer reminder as well as a way to share your support for Israel with everyone who sees it.    

The Bible says, “If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD—and he will repay you!” (Proverbs 19:17, NLT) Today I am asking you to join with me in lending back to God part of the resources He has provided to you by helping the poor of Israel. It is brutally cold this winter, especially for those who cannot afford heat and warm water…but together we can show them that they are not forgotten or forsaken.

Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team allows us to meet urgent humanitarian needs of the poor of Israel, particularly for the elderly Holocaust survivors. These dear people have suffered so much, and most of them have no living family members to help care for them. Most have never seen an act of love from a Christian—and that must change!

Your gift today could literally be the difference between life and death for these poor people. The bitter winter places great strain on their weakened bodies. They need warm clothing, nutritious food and other basic necessities of life. We must respond to these urgent needs. Now that we have the Jerusalem World Center in operation we can do so much more—but only with your help. I am asking you today to send your best gift so that we can help as many people as possible.
When you give to support the Jerusalem Prayer Team, you are blessing what God wants to bless, and when you do, you will receive His favor and blessing. Thank you so much for being part of this vital effort to defend, support, and bless the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.

Barukh attah Adonai, melekh m’hulal batishbachot.
Blessed are you Lord, a King to be praised in adoration.

I gave him one verse of Scripture and it changed two nations

Jerusalem Prayer Team
"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven" (Matthew 18:19).
During the Reagan Administration, I gave this Scripture to the senior advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel during a grave crisis. I was hosting Prime Minister Begin, my dear personal friend, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. His troops were in Lebanon, and the US government would not stand with him against the PLO. President Ronald Reagan, a wonderful man, had hardened his heart because of misinformation from the Red Crescent (the Islamic Red Cross) which was working with the PLO.

I asked Reuven Hecht, Begin's senior advisor, "Does the prime minister meet privately today with the president?" He said they would meet together for fifteen minutes. I said, "They must agree together. Tell the prime minister to relate the Scripture I just gave you."

Reuven said, "If I tell Mr. Begin to speak the words of Jesus, there will be a bigger war in Israel than the Lebanese War."

I responded, "Please tell Mr. Begin what I said, and tell him to agree with the president on the following issues: Mr. President, you and I have both faced death. Mr. President, you and I both believe in God. Mr. President, you and I both believe that God has a great plan for our lives. Mr. President, you and I both believe God has a great plan for our countries. Would you pray, Mr. President, that God's will be done today?"

I asked Reuven, "Does the president think that Prime Minister Begin is a stubborn Jew with a ghetto mentality?"

He responded affirmatively. I said, "If they will do this in agreement, then everything will change between them."

Reuven advised the prime minister to do this, and the result was a miraculous agreement between the two men. I received a call from the White House, and Reuven said, "When Mr. Begin did as I had advised, Ronald Reagan wept as he prayed. He went into the Cabinet Room and reversed his own policies."

In prayer, I am agreeing with you today in the mighty name of Jesus for your greatest need to be met, and I am asking you to be a great and much-needed blessing to the nation of Israel and to the Jewish people. We have just eight days left to make the final payment on the purchase of the Jerusalem World Center. Will you be part of the miracle today?

A dear friend and lover of Israel has agreed to match your gift for the rest of December. In other words, if you give $77,777.77, it will be doubled to $155,555.54. Or if you give $777.77, it will be doubled to $1,555.54. If you give $77.77, it will be doubled to $155.54. This is a huge answer to prayer! Please know that whatever you can give will also be doubled in Heaven in your Kingdom account.

Thus far 1,975 people have given $245,370. Please pray with me right now for supernatural favor that this need will be met.
I urgently need your help right now to make the final payment on the Jerusalem World Center. This beautiful building will be the largest property in the nation of Israel to be owned by US Bible-believers. It will be the first Christian museum in the nation to tell the story of Christian love, such as that of Corrie ten Boom's family in Haarlem, Holland. Their home was purchased in 1987 and restored in 1988 and is open today because of the Jerusalem Prayer Team and friends like you. I serve as chairman of the board.

In addition, this wonderful building in Jerusalem will be the headquarters for the Jerusalem Prayer Team worldwide. It will provide round-the-clock prayer for Jerusalem and the Jewish people in fulfillment of prophecy, and it will be the address for compassionate Christians who are reaching out to serve poor Jewish souls.

"I will bless those who bless thee..." (Genesis 12:3)

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee" (Psalm 122:6).

You and I are part of something that has eternal significance in the city on which the spotlight of Heaven shines. Heaven and earth met in Jerusalem and will meet again. Everything began prophetically and will end in the only city in the world in which God wrote His name.
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. I am asking you today to show your support by helping us make the final payment of $777,777.77 on the Jerusalem World Center and respond to the great threats facing Israel.

I am so excited about what God is already doing, as we continue to work to complete the purchase of this wonderful building. I cannot wait to see what He is going to do next! I ask you to join me right now in a prayer of blessing on every loving heart who has responded to help meet this urgent need, and I ask that you prayerfully consider what God would have you do to help us reach this miracle.

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 speak out in support of Israel's right to her capital city. One of the most important tools for us to fight and win this battle will be the Jerusalem World Center. This wonderful facility in the Holy City will be a lasting witness of God’s love to the Jewish people and a center of ministry and outreach to them that will truly be life changing.

The Christian Zionist Heritage Center will be the first Christian witness of God’s love of its kind to the Jewish people in the nation of Israel. There are over 300 Jewish museums but not one museum where people can go to hear the story of Christian love. The Jerusalem World Center will also be a place where hurting elderly Holocaust survivors and impoverished Jews can go to receive help. It will be the home of the Jerusalem Prayer Team intercessory movement. This is the largest Christian work within walking distance of the Western Wall. Please be part of this miracle today.
When you send your gift of any amount, we will send you this 2013 Jerusalem Prayer Team calendar.        
With your gift of $40 or more, we will send you the calendar and this Scripture promise box. This collection of verses was chosen to build and strengthen your faith. Keep this box on your breakfast table or desk, and it will encourage you as you pray and trust God.        
If you are able to send a gift of $77 or more, we will send you the calendar and this unique Jerusalem Compass. Perfect for anyone whose heart is fixed on Jerusalem, this brass compass always points toward the Holy City. It is a wonderful conversation starter to share your love of the Jewish people with others.    
If you are able to give $1,000 or more, we will send you the calendar and this “mega-pack” of 13 books, including many autographed hardback best-sellers. This set includes The Revolution, GameChanger, and The Protocols, as well as my newest title The Locket, and many more, along with this beautiful Jerusalem Prayer Team Prayer Shawl.
In addition, your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or remember will be added to the Wall of Righteous Gentiles—a lasting legacy and testimony of your love carved into the stone wall of the Jerusalem World Center.
Everyone who enters the building will 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).        
Today I’m asking you to stand up and be counted—to join the line of heroes down through the centuries who have done their part to deliver the Jewish people from destruction. I am asking you to make a generous, even sacrificial gift to help make the Jerusalem World Center a reality and to help the Jerusalem Prayer Team to do all we can to defend the Jewish state and the Jewish people around the world.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who girds Israel with might.
