"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. 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.

Christian ministry in Jerusalem is moving forward
Christian ministry in Jerusalem, update by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
"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.

A horrible betrayal…but it’s only part of the story

"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.

" As I prayed for you this morning, God gave me this Scripture for you" - update by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
“Dear Jesus...how foolish of me to have called for human help when You are here.” – Corrie ten Boom
"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 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 might 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 same 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!
I believe that God brought you and me together “for such a time as this”—to give our time and energy and effort and resources to stand for and defend Israel and the Jewish people. One of the greatest and most important things that the purchase of the Jerusalem World Center makes possible is the Christian Zionist Heritage Center. The story of Christian love is a story that most Jewish people have never heard. We must tell the story—but we can’t do it without you. I urgently need your help today.
I am praying that God will give us 800 Jerusalem Prayer Team members by today to stand with us in honor of the 800 Jewish people that the ten Booms saved from the Holocaust. 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 755 loving hearts have responded to this need by giving $61,290.
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.

The little Jewish girl asked, “Does God live in that house?”
News from Jerusalem- update by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team

"Five years ago I had the privilege of speaking at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial when Casper and Betsie ten Boom were added to the Righteous among the Nations in recognition of their heroism and sacrifice in helping to save more than 800 Jews from the Holocaust. After the ceremony an elderly Jewish woman came up and spoke to me.
“They saved my life!” she said. “I was a little girl, and my mother took me to the ten Boom’s clock shop looking to hide us from the Nazis. She knocked on the door and an old man [Casper ten Boom] answered the door. My mother asked if he could help us. He said, ‘I must ask God’ and went back inside. I asked my mother, ‘Does God live in that house?’ She said, ‘I don’t know.’ In a few moments he came back and opened the door and took us inside. ‘God said Yes,’ he told us.” That precious true story was repeated time after time as the ten Boom family did their part to rescue as many Jewish people as they could from certain death.
When I prayed with Mother Teresa in Rome before she died, she said, “Lord, if we love you, we must love the Jewish people. Love is not something we say, it is something we do.” I have never forgotten those words. This Sunday is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day set aside to remember the six million Jewish people, over one million of them children—who perished during the Holocaust.
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 The Locket paperback copy 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.

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 The Locket paperback copy 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.
Modeh ani l’faneykha, melekh chai vekayam; rabbah emunatekha.
I thank you living and eternal King; great is your faithfulness.

"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.

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.
