"We live in the “Me Generation,” where secular humanists, even in the pulpit, have fanned the flames of narcissism, hedonism, and self-gratification. The United States has never had so much stuff and been so unhappy. Millions are looking within for happiness, but the only problem is that doesn't work. You were not self-created; you can't tell yourself the purpose for which you were created. There is great truth in the words: “Look around and be distressed; look within and be depressed; look to Jesus and be at rest.”
We are hard at work with our Jerusalem team members who are bringing together the plans for the Operations Center on the Ambassador Floor. This will be the headquarters for all we will do in Israel. I signed the contracts by faith, believing that God will provide. The same God that parted the Red Sea and brought down the walls of Jericho will help us meet this great need.
Victor Frankl, a Jewish neurologist/psychiatrist, was given the opportunity to leave Nazi Germany for the United States. He chose to stay because of the commandment of the Bible, “Honor your father and mother.” In the concentration camp, most of his family perished, but Frankl survived. In his book, A Search for Meaning, honored by the Library of Congress, he states: “If man knows the why of his existence, he can bear almost any how.” Corrie ten Boom found that to be true in her life while she was also imprisoned by the Nazis.
A Gallup Poll revealed that 40 percent of Americans do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about the question. Frankl's study revealed that living a meaningful life corresponds with being a giver, not a taker, and that happiness without meaning is characterized by a relatively shallow, self-absorbed, even selfish life. I know you are a giver who loves and cares for others—especially the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, and today I am asking you to be part of something special to bless them.
We have a huge opportunity right now to touch the world from the Holy City through the construction and equipping of our new Operations Center in the Jerusalem World Center. This will be the command and control center for everything we do, including organizing help for victims of terror, Holocaust survivors, and every possible need we can help meet. Our goal is based on the prophetic word of the Lord: “Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God” (Isaiah 40:1).
The team that will operate and manage all of these outreaches (and more in the future) is being assembled. We have legal, management, property development, construction, programming, and other staff—and they must have a place to work. The fifth floor of your Jerusalem World Center will be the Operations Center…but we have only eight weeks to make this happen so we can stay on schedule for everything that is to follow.
The budget for the Operations Center—including construction, furnishing, equipment and everything we need to get it up and fully running—is one million Israeli shekels…$275,000 US. I am asking you and every friend of the Jerusalem Prayer Team to respond today to help us meet this urgent need. Everything we are going to do in and through the Jerusalem World Center depends on getting the Operations Center up and running. So far 455 loving friends have given $36,120 toward this prophetic goal. Please join me right now in praying a blessing on their lives according to the promise of Genesis 12:3.
Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team today allows us to continue our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center, to stand up and speak out for Israel, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs among the poor Jewish people living in Israel. Thank you so much for being part of this vital worldwide prayer movement.
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.

"Have a breakthrough, not a breakdown! "
Update by Mike Evans
Donate online
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.
SEE HO YOUR LOVE TOUCHED THE LIVES OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
In just a few days, the celebration of Passover begins. 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. Yet for the poor and hungry, especially for the elderly Holocaust survivors, it is anything but a happy time.
Today I am asking you to help us provide food for the Seder and the week of Passover for these precious 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.
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.

" 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.

"Wars and rumors of wars " Israel
Update about Israel by Mike Evans

“My job was to simply follow His leading one step at a time, holding every decision up to Him in prayer.” – Corrie ten Boom
Jesus said that in the end times, we would hear of wars and rumors of wars. That sounds exactly like the headlines we are reading today. Just look at the last few days:
Israeli jets have struck military targets deep inside Syria as the civil war there threatens to overthrow the government of Bashir Assad—and brings great uncertainty about the fate of his chemical and biological weapons.
Iran’s President Ahmadinejad has declared that his nation is already a nuclear power.
Egyptian leaders are threatening to “amend” the terms of their peace treaty with Israel.
The Iranians continue to funnel thousands of missiles to Hamas and Hezbollah for use against Israel and the Jewish people.
All of these events and more highlight the vital and urgent need for prayer for the peace of Jerusalem. As we continue to pray faithfully and fervently for the safety and protection of Israel and the Jewish people, we must do so in faith. It is wonderful to know that no matter how difficult circumstances may be today—politically, socially, physically, emotionally, economically—our God reigns. Our future is bright. I've never been more aware of that than 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 the that 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 755 loving hearts have responded to this need by giving $61,290.

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.

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.

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.

“Look to Jesus and be at rest” Update by Mike Evans

"We live in the “Me Generation,” where secular humanists, even in the pulpit, have fanned the flames of narcissism, hedonism, and self-gratification. The United States has never had so much stuff and been so unhappy. Millions are looking within for happiness, but the only problem is that doesn’t work. You were not self-created; you can’t tell yourself the purpose for which you were created. There is great truth in the words: “Look around and be distressed; look within and be depressed; look to Jesus and be at rest.”
Victor Frankl, a Jewish neurologist/psychiatrist, was given the opportunity to leave Nazi Germany for the United States. He chose to stay because of the commandment of the Bible, “Honor your father and mother.” In the concentration camp, most of his family perished, but Frankl survived. In his book, A Search for Meaning, honored by the Library of Congress, he states: “If man knows the why of his existence, he can bear almost any how.” Corrie ten Boom found that to be true in her life while she was also imprisoned by the Nazis.
A Gallup Poll revealed that 40 percent of Americans do not think their lives have a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about the question. Frankl’s study revealed that living a meaningful life corresponds with being a giver, not a taker, and that happiness without meaning is characterized by a relatively shallow self-absorbed, even selfish life.
My book, Living in the F.O.G., was written to help Christians 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).
I believe that God brought us 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.

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

Israel’s Prime Minister re-elected
My old friend wins re-election as Israel’s Prime Minister- update by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
"Benjamin Netanyahu has been re-elected as Prime Minister of Israel. Many Jerusalem Prayer Team members have asked me questions about him. Let me share this information with you.
I have known Benjamin Netanyahu since he was thirty years of age. He is now sixty-four. When I first met him on July 4, 1980, he was selling furniture. It was the anniversary of the death of his brother, Yoni. Yoni was serving as a commander in the Israeli Defense Forces and was killed during Operation Entebbe in Uganda, during a counter-terrorism hostage rescue mission. His unit had flown there to rescue more than one hundred Israeli hostages who had been hijacked by Palestinian terrorists.
I had gone to the home of Benzion Netanyahu, Yoni’s father, to express my deep condolences on the anniversary of his son’s death. He was very gracious and invited me in for a cup of tea. A few moments later, Benjamin walked into the room. I could see the pain and sadness in his eyes. Before leaving, I asked him if I could pray with him. He said yes. I took his hands in mine and as we prayed, tears ran down my face. The words that came forth from my mouth were prophetic: “Jonathan loved David. You loved Jonathan. Out of the ashes of your despair will come strength from God, and you will be the prime minister of Israel.” I had a small bottle of oil that I had purchased at the Garden Tomb. As I ended my prayer, I removed the cap and touched his head with the oil. He was completely surprised and said, “No. I’m not going into politics.”
The following day, I requested a second meeting that week with Prime Minister Menachem Begin. During our meeting, I told him what had happened when I met with the Netanyahu family. I asked him to give Benjamin a position in his government. He did not know who Benjamin was, but his senior advisor, Reuven Hecht, informed him by reminding the prime minister of Benjamin’s father and brother.
Menachem Begin was such a God-fearing man that he took my words very seriously. He told Reuven to have dinner with Benjamin. Reuven complied and Benjamin was offered his first position as Deputy Chief of Mission at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, under Ambassador Moshe Aron. He held that position from 1982-1984. From 1984-1988, he served as the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. He went on to become a Knesset member in Israel and was a member of the Israeli delegation under Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir at the Madrid Peace Conference. I remember it well as I was in attendance for the conference defending Israel—one of only sixty in the world outside the delegations permitted to attend.
In 1996, Benjamin became prime minister, and in 2009 was elected for a second time to serve in that capacity. Yesterday, he was re-elected as prime minister. I believe God has set him in this office “for such a time as this” as Israel faces such grave threats and challenges. Today I am asking you to stand with me and support the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we support Israel.
I am also asking for your help today so that we can reach out to the poor of the house of Israel in love and help meet their urgent needs. Today they are suffering greatly from the cold of winter. There is no good time to be poor. 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.

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.

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

"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!
