This Sunday, October 5th, is a day for churches to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. The following information was taken from the Day To Pray website:
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 G-d's purposes fulfilled in His holy city.
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 fulfillment to His word.
Our vision is for sustained, fervent, and informed global intercession for the plans and purposes of G-d for Jerusalem and all her people. Our goal, by G-d's grace, is that by this coming October we will have 175 participating nations and 300 million believers praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
It is so important for us to pray for and support the people of Israel, especially the Messianic Jews (those who have accepted Jesus as their Messiah). They are those of our household of faith. I pray that you will uphold this mandate and calling to pray for the peace of Jerusalem not only tomorrow, but each day.
