“There was a wonderful sense of unity and the presence of the Holy Spirit and we praise the Lord that we could join millions of other Christians crying out to the Lord for the peace of Jerusalem” – Michael Nkansah, DPPJ Liverpool Co-ordinator.
On the first Sunday of every October, hundreds of millions of people around the world join together to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. In just a few years, this event has quickly become the largest Israel-focused prayer event in history. But why set aside this day each year to pray for Jerusalem?
Purpose We set aside this one day each year to raise global awareness and intercession for G-d’s purposes in Israel, knowing that this hour in history is critical and our authority in prayer is great. Though we pray every day for Israel, we seek on this day to unite believers around the world in raising a cry to Heaven on behalf of this troubled, but strategic land and its people. We believe in G-d’s promises for His beloved nation and fervently pray to hasten the day when He brings fulfilment to His word.
