Praclaming Jesus to the world

"Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh—very different  from what most people think
We all know of the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus, but those gifts aren't what most people think they were. Gold, frankincense and myrrh were not gifts for a baby; they were the burial items for kings. From the moment Jesus came into the world, He came to die to be the Savior of the world.

Jesus knew His purpose. Just before the crucifixion, Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples. Years ago, an aged rabbi, then the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, told me that the custom of the Jews was to sing Psalm 118 at the Passover. When I read that Psalm, I was astonished at the power of the words—and their fulfillment in the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Christ.

    Verse five: “I call upon the Lord in my distress.”
Verse six: “I will not fear what man can do to me.”
Verse ten: “All nations compassed me about.”
Verse seventeen: “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.”
Verse nineteen: “Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will go into them…”
Verse twenty-two: “The stone which the builders refused has become the head of the corner.”
Verse twenty-four: “This is the day which the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Verse twenty-seven: “God is the Lord which has showed us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.”

As you prepare to celebrate this wonderful holiday and the birth of our Savior, remember that He was born to die for you! God loves you so much that He gave the best gift in all of history when He sent His Son to earth. My prayer is that you will have a blessed Christmas and that 2014 will be the greatest year of your life. I speak favor over you, your children, grandchildren, your dreams and visions, and everyone you love. And I ask that you stand with us through your gift of support and love for the Jewish People.

I was in Israel last week as your Ambassador to assure the Jewish People that their Christian friends are standing with them. Sadly, the need for support of Israel and the defense of God’s Chosen People is greater than ever today. But together, we can make a difference. That is why we hosted wonderful Hanukkah parties for Holocaust survivors…and committed to do even more to help them.

Even as we increase our efforts to touch the lives of Holocaust survivors and work to meet their ongoing needs, we cannot delay our work on the Righteous Gentile Heritage Center. This vital witness of Christian love to the entire nation of Israel will only become a reality if we work and give today. And remember that your gift today will be doubled through the matching gift offer.
        With your gift of any amount…

We will send you this special Jerusalem Prayer Team prayer pouch.

This is a great resource for your prayer life. The pouch contains two notepads, one for prayer requests and the other for praises and answered prayers. It will strengthen your faith greatly as you look back and see how God has worked in answer to your petitions to Him.

   
        With your gift of $30 or more…

We will send you the prayer pouch and this Jerusalem Prayer Team travel mug.

This striking stainless steel mug is perfect for your hot drinks this winter, and everywhere you take it people will know that you are committed to praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

   
    When you send your gift of $100 or more…

We will send you the prayer pouch and this lovely Garden of Gethsemane prayer shawl.

There was no place of prayer more special to Jesus than the Garden of Gethsemane. This beautiful shawl will be a great addition to any home or office, and a reminder of your belief in the power of prayer.

   
        If you are able to send a gift of $250 or more…

We will send the prayer pouch 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.

   
Perhaps you would like to do even more.
    If you are able to send a gift of $1,000 or more…

We will send you the prayer pouch and this massive collection of 12 of our most popular and requested books and resources, including several of my newest, best-selling titles.    
       
    We will also place your name or the name of someone special you wish to honor or remember in the Hall of Righteous Gentiles in the Jerusalem World 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. Thank you so much for being part of this vital worldwide prayer movement.

Another visit to Jerusalem- update

 Update  from Saturday by Mike Evans
Jerusalem Prayer Team
Donate online
"Shalom from Jerusalem! It is Shabbat and I am at the Jerusalem World Center interceding in prayer and meeting with teams of Israelis working on our projects here.
From Revelation 22:20-21, the Lord declares, “He who testifies these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

My heart leaped for joy as I read this Scripture this morning. What you are doing through your prayers and giving as a Jerusalem Prayer Team member is preparing the way of the Lord: “For the Lord shall build up Zion, then shall He appear in His glory.”

I am here in Israel 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.

Also during this trip, I will be holding critical meetings for the future of the Christian Zionist Heritage Center. We are working very hard to make this a powerful and life-changing experience for everyone who comes. Please pray that God will give us wisdom and guidance through this process. We are also working on several other exciting new outreaches that I look forward to sharing with you very soon.

The Spirit of God has directed me to set aside time for prayer in the Holy City for your greatest needs. I encourage you to share those with me today so that I can join you in the prayer of faith for God to work in your life in a miraculous way, and I ask that you stand with us financially today. We are planning a big Passover celebration for Holocaust survivors in 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.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR GREATEST PRAYER NEED WITH ME

In just a few days, the celebration of Passover begins. This is a holy and sacred time of year. The weeklong 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 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, but we can’t 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. 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"
