Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem







Letter from J. Doug Stringer

Dear Friends and Leaders,

The attached letter was written by Robert Stearns and Jack Hayford, co-chairs of the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem on Sunday, October 7, coordinated by Eagles Wings Ministries. I have had the pleasure of serving for several years with Robert, Jack, and other leaders from around the globe as an official endorser and supporter of DPPJ.

Many of you have heard me talk about Micah 4, which says there will come a time when people from all backgrounds and all ethnicities would gather at the Mountain of the Lord - Jerusalem - to lay aside their weapons of warfare for harvesting tools. Like never before, churches all across the globe need to pray simultaneously and passionately for the peace of Jerusalem, so that despite the global tension and violence, weapons will be turned from warfare to worship as we seek the Lord and restore God's presence again in His Land. To pray for the peace of Jerusalem is to pray for the peace of the nations.

For more information on the ways you and your church can participate, read the letter below. For details and resources to help facilitate a prayer service, you can click on theDPPJ link on www.somebodycares.org or www.tpmi.org.

Thank you for caring!

Dear Praying Friends,

Please take a moment to read and pass on this urgent prayer update.

We are just days away from a powerful moment, when millions of Christians in every nation across the planet will join in faith and unity to pray together for the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

This massive prayer initiative, one of the largest in Church history, has now been reported and referenced by major news outlets around the world. The Jerusalem Celebration of the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem will be carried live into 192 nations on God TV.

Literally, in every corner of the planet, churches are preparing to stand in agreement with Psalm 122, and with one another in hope, and pray for God's presence and peace to flood the streets of Jerusalem, and minister peace to all of her inhabitants, Jew and Arab alike.

The First Sunday of October, October 7th, has been designated as the Global Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem by well over 1000 global Christian leaders. Leaders of influence including, Jack Hayford, Paul Cedar, Dick Eastman, T.D. Jakes, Kay Arthur, Myles Munroe, Jane Hansen, John Hagee, Ravi Zacharias, Michael W. Smith, Chuck Pierce, Sunday Adeleja, and Joyce Meyer are just a handful of those all around the world who are in unity calling for focused, united prayer on this day.

In order for this day to be effective we NEED to ACT together in unity. Please agree to make a difference today by doing two simple things....

1. Make sure your local church is participating on October 7th.
• The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is NOT a single location event but rather a worldwide celebration day when LOCAL CHURCHES remember to pray or Jerusalem in their Sunday services. Although there will be a Jerusalem Celebration of this day carried live on GOD TV around the world, the real thrust of the initiative is on the local church level. Please BE SURE that your church is participating! There are resources such as posters and prayer cards for you local church available at www.daytopray.com.
2. Please forward this email to as many believing Christians as you can.
• If you will simply take a moment right now and forward this on to your close friends and prayer partners, we can literally sound a global trumpet to bring clear focus and awareness to this urgent prayer effort.
We thank you for putting action to your prayers and taking part in seeing God's purposes for Zion unfold in this hour of history!
