"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.
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"

A horrible betrayal…but it’s only part of the story
Update by Mike Evans

"Sixty-nine years ago this week, Corrie ten Boom and her family were betrayed to the Gestapo. Their courageous work that had saved the lives of more than 800 Jewish people from the Holocaust was stopped as the police raided the family home and clock shop. The ten Booms were arrested, but thanks to God’s protection, the Jewish people safe in the “Hiding Place” behind the wall of Corrie’s bedroom closet were spared. They huddled in fear for several days before finally being rescued.
The Gestapo arrested the members of the ten Boom family and others who visited the home during the day. In total, about 30 people were taken to Scheverningen Prison. The policeman told Casper ten Boom who was 84 years of age they would let him go home if he promised to stop his rescue work. He said, “If I go home today, tomorrow I will open my door to anyone who knocks for help.” When told he could die for what he had done, he replied, “It would be an honor to give my life for God’s Chosen People.” Just ten days later, Casper died at the Hague Municipal Hospital.
Casper ten Boom, Corrie’s father
Betsie ten Boom died at the dreaded Ravensbruck death camp in December of 1944. Willem ten Boom, Corrie’s brother, survived the war but died shortly after from tuberculosis contracted while in prison. Christiaan ten Boom, a nephew of the family, perished at the Bergen Belsen death camp, and Corrie ten Boom survived only because a “clerical error” released her from camp just days before all the remaining female prisoners were executed.
The tragedy is that while virtually every Jewish person knows the story of Anne Frank, almost none of them know the story of the ten Booms. There are three trees planted at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem for Casper ten Boom and Corrie and Betsie, but few 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, but my heart is filled with the burning desire to make sure this message is taken across Israel…and I need your help.

This is just a small expression of our gratitude for your help with this urgent project.

Why all the rage over Jerusalem?
Update by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
“How often it is a small, almost unconscious event that makes a turning point.” – Corrie ten Boom
"No other city on earth sparks the controversy that Jerusalem does. The fate of the Holy City is discussed, debated, and fought over more than any other. President Obama is pushing a plan to divide Jerusalem and hand much of it—including the holiest places of Christianity—to the Palestinians as the capital of a new state.
The question arises, “Why the rage over Jerusalem?” The answer can only be found in the Word of God. This is a spiritual battle. Satan declared in Isaiah 14:13-14 that he would wage warfare against God Almighty not only from Jerusalem, but from the Temple site. He declared, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
Jerusalem is the only city which God claims as His own; for that reason it is called the “City of God.” He declares in II Chronicles 33:7, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My Name forever.” David, the psalmist, wrote in Psalm 102:16, “For the Lord will rebuild Zion and appear in His glory.”
In Isaiah 62:1, the prophet cries out, “For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.” Isaiah added another amazing prophecy in chapter 2, verse 3: “For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
I am praying that God will give us 800 Jerusalem Prayer Team members in the next two days to stand with us in honor of the 800 Jewish people that the ten Booms saved from the Holocaust. Your generous gift today will take the story of Corrie ten Boom and her family—and the stories of hundreds of other loving Christians who helped and supported Israel and the Jewish people—to Jerusalem and the nation of Israel through the Christian Zionist Heritage Center.
However, we now must make the first payment to Disk-In Pro on their work as required by the contract. We have received the invoice for $450,000. I am writing today to ask you to be one of those 800 with your gift to help us make the payment so that the work on the Christian Zionist Heritage Center can continue. So far 625 loving hearts have responded to this need by giving $53,535.
Watch Dr. Evans and Glenn Beck Tell The Story Of Corrie Ten Boom
When you send your gift of $30 or more, we will send you Corrie ten Boom’s book The Hiding Place.
This is the riveting account of how Corrie ten Boom and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people during WW II. For 35 years, millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Now, The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new generation of readers, continues to declare that God’s love will overcome, heal, and restore.
If you are able to send a gift of $100 or more, we will send you this lovely commemorative clock.
Because the ten Booms were watchmakers, even using clock advertisements in their window to send secret messages, this is a great way for you to remember, celebrate, and continue their work. Perfect for your home or office, everyone who sees this beautiful piece will know your love and commitment to God’s Chosen People.
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.
Modeh ani l’faneykha, melekh chai vekayam; rabbah emunatekha.
I thank you, living and eternal King; great is your faithfulness.
