WE KNOW THE POWER OF PRAYER!

The work and ministry of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, both in Israel and worldwide, is fuelled by prayer. We know that we cannot accomplish anything of lasting value without first placing everything into God’s hands through prayer. Yet when we pray, the Lord hears and answers in His own amazing ways.

One recently answered prayer came as the leadership and staff in our Jerusalem headquarters were finishing up a week of strategy meetings in December to plan for the new year. Based on a leading from the Lord, we made a firm decision to rent some extra office space in our building to create a yearround TV studio for our weekly webinars and other video productions. We also committed to start broadcasting the Feast of Tabernacles ourselves, utilizing our own qualified staff from Jerusalem and our branch offices around the globe. These were big steps of faith and they would incur substantial costs, but we ended our strategy meetings with a time of prayer for these very needs and trusted the Lord to move on our behalf.

One hour later, a staff member met with a Christian couple who love Israel and appreciate our ministry, and they inquired if we needed funds for our TV broadcast needs. After hearing of our decision that very day, they immediately committed to giving a large donation to cover the costs of the studio, new TV equipment and the first year of Feast broadcasts. This was an incredibly encouraging confirmation for everyone, to see our faith and prayers answered so quickly and fully.

In another instance of answered prayer, a few months back we had an urgent prayer request from Pastor Marco Mosquera in Ecuador during our Rosh Chodesh Prayer Chain. We invited him to share the need on the next Global Prayer Gathering, where he informed us that indigenous peoples in his country were leading nationwide protests and strikes over food and fuel prices which had paralysed Ecuador for almost two weeks, threatening to unseat the conservative President Guillermo Lasso and to overturn one of Latin America’s dwindling number of investor-friendly governments. Demonstrators set up roadblocks using burning tires and trees to cut off major routes to the capital of Quito. Clashes between protesters and the army and riot police also disrupted supplies of food and other necessities, and halved the nation’s oil production, Ecuador’s main export. So, we prayed during the GPG on that Wednesday and by Friday the protests and strikes were called off and an amazing calm came over the nation. The Lord moved and peace returned!

So, make sure to join us online for our weekly Global Prayer Gathering and our monthly Rosh Chodesh Prayer Chain, and see what God can and will do in your life and nation.
