Every year, Christians worldwide unite in prayer for the peace and security of the Jewish State on The Fellowship's International Day of Prayer and Solidarity with Israel. Since 2002 this extraordinary event has been instrumental in raising Christian awareness and support for Israel and the Jewish people.

On January 28, 2007, date of the fifth annual Day of Prayer, I was privileged to be a guest of Pastor Lamarr Mooneyham and The Tabernacle in Danville, Virginia, one of our faithful supporting churches. It was an inspirational time of prayer and fellowship. I was deeply moved to see that a congregation of 2,000 had come to life up Israel in prayer. 

Since that day, the threats to Israel have grown even more serious. In Lebanon, Hezbollah continues its grab for power. Hamas has taken over Gaza and pledged to create a radical Islamic state. The threats from Iran and Syria grow graver with each passing day.

Given the current situation, what a blessing it is to know that millions of people around the world spent time on the Day of Prayer focusing on prayers for Israel! Many people have shared with us their stories of the 2007 Day of Prayer. I invite you to read some of those stories today.

Thank you for taking a stand for Israel through your support of our work, and for your continued prayers "for the peace of Jerusalem."
