PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC AND JEWISH LEADERS PROCLAIM ANNUAL DAY TO FOCUS ON PEACE IN
JERUSALEM
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders from around the world are endorsing an
international "Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem," to be held annually on
the first Sunday of October, this year on October 3. People all around the
world will be asked to pray in harmony for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Endorsers of this effort include its co-founders, Jack Hayford and Robert
Stearns, plus NAE President Ted Haggard, Mission America Chairman Paul Cedar,
CBN Chairman Pat Robertson and President Michael Little, National Religious
Broadcasters Chairman Glenn Plummer, Ravi Zacharias, Kenneth Copeland, Jane
Hansen, Gary Bauer, Dean Jones, Kay Arthur, David Bolthouse, Michael W. Smith,
Pat Boone, Janet Parshall... (see the list below).
The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Metzger, has given his full endorsement of this
effort, as has Ehud Olmert, the former mayor of Jerusalem, who is now the Vice
Prime Minister, and most importantly, the newly formed "Christian Allies Caucus"
of the Israeli Knesset. The Roman Catholic Church was represented by Monsignor
William Showali, the personal representative of the Latin Patriarch in the Old
City.
According to Robert Stearns, recognition of the day is growing quickly.
"Leadership Committees are already forming in Germany, Poland, the Czech
Republic, and other nations to join with us in this global effort. There has
been communication from church leaders from as far away as Australia who plan on
mobilizing believers in their nation," says Stearns.
Jack Hayford says, "We are living in a sobering moment in history that calls us,
as people of God to fulfill our biblical mandate to pray for the peace of
Jerusalem, and to stand against the alarming rise of anti-Semitism. We are not
to be passive; we are called to pray with passion, to intercede. This is not
about politics; this is about the Word of God."
Dr. Ravi Zacharias adds, "Prayer is the only means that will ultimately change
hearts in this troubled part of the world."
Thousands of pastors are already cooperating in this call and have committed
their congregations to participate on Sunday, October 3. See more at
