"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.
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.
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.
Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team allows us to continue our work on the Christian Zionist 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.
Barukh atah Adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam, ozier Yisrael bigvurah.
Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who girds Israel with might.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Mike Evans"

"This question from God kept me awake all night "

"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.
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.

Christian ministry in Jerusalem is moving forward
Christian ministry in Jerusalem, update by Mike Evans

"There are three trees planted at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem for Casper ten Boom and Corrie and Betsie, but the truth is that very few people in Israel today know their story of courage, sacrifice, and love. Because I am the Chairman of the Board of the Corrie ten Boom Museum, I had the privilege of speaking at the ceremony when Casper and Betsie were honored in this special way.
When I finished speaking, a Jewish woman walked up and told me that she was one of the more than 800 Jewish people saved from Holocaust by the ten Booms. She recounted how her mother went and knocked on the door of their home and clock shop to ask for help. Casper ten Boom came to the door, listened to her plea, and then said, “I must ask God.” He went back inside, and she asked her mother, “Does God live in that house?” Casper came back and invited them in, and her life was spared as a result.
You and I know this wonderful story because of the great book Corrie wrote and the movie Dr. Billy Graham made from it—The Hiding Place. But my heart is filled with the burning desire to make sure this message is taken across Israel so that the Jewish people see and hear this unmistakable message of Christian love in action…and I need your help.
TOUR THE TEN BOOM HOME AND THE HIDING PLACE
This is the reason we are working so hard to bring the Christian Zionist Heritage Center to life. We must tell the story of the ten Booms—and so many other wonderful stories of love, sacrifice, courage, support and devotion—to the nation of Israel. Most Jewish people have never seen an act of kindness from a Christian. Most of them think, as my Jewish mother did, that Christians are the source of hatred, persecution, and even death.
You and I know that this is not true, but they will not hear unless we tell them. Your gift today to support the Jerusalem Prayer Team will help us make the Christian Zionist Heritage Center a reality—and touch the future of the entire nation by changing the way they view Christians and showing them God’s love in action. We cannot do this without you. Please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today.
When you send your gift of any amount today, we will send you a DVD of the virtual tour of the ten Boom home and clock shop in Haarlem, Holland. You will be able to see and hear the story of the “Hiding Place” in a powerful new way.
With your gift of $40 or more, we will also send you this bookmark, Corrie’s book The Hiding Place, and this special Corrie ten Boom notebook. Filled with information about Corrie’s life and family and their work, along with pages reproduced from one of her journals, including one of her favorite poems, it is a treasure you will cherish.
If you are able to send a gift of $100 or more, we will send you the DVD and this special commemorative Jerusalem Prayer Team clock. Prepared especially for our friends and supporters, this beautiful timepiece harkens back to the ten Boom’s heritage as clockmakers and links you to our continuing of their work on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people.
