Millions of Christians united across denominational, cultural, and political differences on Sunday, October 6th, as part of the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ) (www.daytopray.com) to intercede for the city God calls His own, and to invoke God's blessing, purposes, and provision upon all of Jerusalem's people. From over 175 nations, believers gathered to pray in their worship services, in their homes, on college campuses, in regional gatherings, and on a 24-Hour Prayer Conference Call.
Broadcast by GOD TV to 900 million, Christians in over 200 nations were also able to join the special DPPJ Celebration at The Pavilion on Jaffa Road in Jerusalem. It was co-hosted by Pastor Wayne Hilsden, Senior Pastor of the King of Kings Community Jerusalem. Before the packed audience, he prayed that God would bring a peace that "was not just something agreed upon diplomatically or written on paper, but a peace beyond human understanding...a peace that only God could bring."
Over 500 gathered for the Jerusalem Celebration of the global Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Special guests and speakers participating in the event included Dr. Jürgen Bühler, Executive Director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem; Naomi Tsur, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem; Berlin-born Rev. Petra Heldt, Director of the Ecumenical Theological Research Fraternity in Israel; and Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin, founding chief rabbi of Efrat and Chancellor of the Ohr Torah Stone Institutions. There were also Christian leaders from the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, and elsewhere who prayed from the platform that God would bless, strengthen, protect, and prosper Jerusalem and her people.
This multi-national, multi-denominational global prayer movement was started in 2002 by Evangelical Christian leaders, with Dr. Jack W. Hayford and Rev. Dr. Robert Stearns serving as co-chairmen. Rev. Stearns, Founder/Director of Eagles' Wings, explained: "God has a blessing both for the descendants of Isaac and those of Ishmael...When we turn our hearts from darkness to light, we embrace God's peace plan for Isaac and Ishmael. God's love is infinitely stronger than the god of hate and will cause us to triumph in our lives. "
Orthodox Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin told the Christian audience from many nations: "We are living in apocalyptic and fateful times and our response to them is critical. Very often we [in Israel] feel as though we stand alone, but Evangelical Christians are our best friends in the whole world. We are eternally grateful that you are standing with us."
Christians participating in the DPPJ observances not only pray for Jerusalem, but also add practical action to their intercession. This year a check of $15,000 was given from the DPPJ offerings to support two Eagles' Wings Feeding Centers in Israel, which feed both Arab and Jewish poor in Jerusalem and Tiberias.
Additionally, millions participated by praying in their churches,homes, and special services throughout October 6 - from cities and rural villages, from huts and mansions, from cathedrals and simple church buildings, and from college campuses to underground churches in China and seven Muslim countries.
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin speaks about the importance of Christian support for Israel to those gathered on Sunday, October 6 in Jerusalem.
Throughout the 24 hours of October 6, believers from around the world also prayed together through an internet "virtual prayer room" created by the 24-Hour DPPJ Prayer Conference Call (www.greatercalling.org). Callers representing most of the states in the U.S. were joined by believers from many nations, including Canada, Kenya, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Papua New Guinea, British Virgin Islands, and Italy. The Lord was praised, shofars were blown, and the people raised their diverse voices in one accord as they prayed for Jerusalem and her people groups.
Worship is a Verb: New Teaching from Robert Stearns!
In this teaching, Robert Stearns encourages you to step beyond how you may feel during a worship service and intentionally engage in the presence of God.
Through biblical examples and scripture, Robert shares how we are exhorted to activate our worship through dancing, singing, shouting, clapping, standing and much more. This teaching is a call to the western church to no longer be entertained by talented worship teams, but to engage body, soul and spirit in worship of the King!
