Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.'" (Psalm 122:6)
The annual International Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is scheduled for Sunday, October 4th. Here is an important message from the co-chairmen of the Day of Prayer, Rev. Robert Stearns and Dr. Jack Hayford. Please pass along this information to your pastor, friends and family.
Dear Praying Friends,
As the Bible said it would, Jerusalem has become a cup of controversy on the global stage today (Zech. 12:2-3).
RIGHT NOW . . . there are increasing threats from many nations against God's covenant city, there are escalating tensions surrounding the inhabitants of the land of Israel, and there are ever-increasing global repercussions for all mankind because of the critical situation.
As these global challenges arise, however, GOD is present. His response has been to stir the hearts of Christians from China to Germany and from Kenya to Brazil, to raise their voices in fervent intercession with His Son, on behalf of Jerusalem and all her inhabitants, both Jew and Arab alike.
Are you one of those voices?
We are weeks away from a powerful moment. On Sunday, October 4th, tens of millions of Christians in literally every corner of this planet will unite for the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, a day specifically set aside by more than 1,200 global leaders.
YOU can make your presence felt and pray for God's power and His peace to flood the streets of Jerusalem by doing three simple things:
1. Make sure your local church is participating on October 4th.
The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is NOT a single location event but rather a worldwide celebration day when LOCAL CHURCHES pray for Jerusalem in their Sunday services, in accordance with Psalm 122:6. There will be a Jerusalem Celebration on this day carried live on GOD TV around the world, but the real thrust of the initiative is on the local church level. Please BE SURE that your church is participating!

2. Please forward this e-mail to as many people as you can.
Our goal is to reach 100 million Christians within the next 30 days with this timely message for the Body of Christ. Help us meet this goal for the Lord's sake and for His advancing Kingdom! If you will simply take a moment right now and forward this on, especially to your pastor, close friends, and prayer partners, we can literally sound a global trumpet to bring clear focus and awareness to this urgent prayer effort.
It really, really makes a difference if you will take only five minutes and forward this e-mail.
3. Sign the "Call to Prayer Resolution".

Finally, the Jerusalem Celebration of the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem will be carried live into 192 nations on GOD TV. If you are in Israel at that time, please plan to join us for this celebration. If you cannot be in Israel, GOD TV will be broadcasting this event internationally, LIVE on October 4th (broadcast schedule will be available closer to the event date). Also consider having your church link with the Jerusalem celebration of the DPPJ by viewing the event on GOD TV!

We thank you for putting action to your prayers and for taking part in seeing God's true peace for Jerusalem unfold in this hour of history!
May the Lord's shalom rest over each of you,
