Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem

This year, more than 200,000 churches in 175 nations will participate in the largest Israel-focused prayer event in history. On October 5, 2008, and every year on the first Sunday of every October, join us in this historic quest to see God's purposes fulfilled in God's holy city.

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.'" (Psalm 122:6)

 

What Is the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem?
 
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 God'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 God's promises for God�s beloved nation and fervently pray to hasten the day when the Lord brings fulfillment to the word.
