This was one of the two foundational scriptures for JHOPFAN in 1987: Isaiah 62 and Isaiah 56, which is about the house of prayer for all nations. Isaiah 62 is clearly about Jerusalem and 24/7.
A little less than 2 years later, on Pentecost Sunday, May 28th, 2023, as we were welcoming the Holy Spirit at exactly 9:00 in the morning from the City of Pentecost in our Global zoom service (the time and day the Holy Spirit fell 2,000 years ago), we saw this second white dove sitting down on the mural that has the King's Prayer: “Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.” Then it began to rain! God’s presence was so strong. We bless the Lord for His faithfulness and His goodness! Surely He is coming quickly!
OnJune 22nd in 2021, we had an awesome day in the House of Prayer. I went up to the prayer tower in the evening, and a white dove came and sat on the Golden Gate of the prayer tower for about 10 or 15 mins. Then it went over on top of our mural “I've posted watchmen on your walls day or not they should take no rest until Jerusalem is established as a praise in the earth.” It stayed on top of this mural for over 11.5 hours, through the night, until early the next morning. It was amazing! The Lord spoke to us and said that we’re in the 11th hour just before midnight, and we need to be vigilant watchmen because the fullness of time is coming. We were all greatly encouraged by this, and we thank God for His goodness. This was a very strong challenge for us to stand as watchmen on the walls, preparing the way for the King of Glory.

July 5 to September 15, 2023
Until Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets
All Nations Convocation Jerusalem
September 15th-29th, 2023
FOR THE FULLNESS OF GOD’S PROTECTION, DELEGATES, AND KINGDOM SALVATION TO COME TO ISRAEL IN THESE DAYS
1. Pray for God’s protection over Israel from Muslim terrorists internally and from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and others externally. During this time of year from 17th of Tammuz to 9th of Av, many tragic things happened in the history of the Jewish people, including the destruction of the temples. Psalm 121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
2. Pray that God will protect Israel from any evil plans from Iran or other nations in the neighborhood.
3. Pray for God to give the best and most stable government for Israel for this coming year that will stand with God and His covenant with Israel.
4. Pray that the fullness of Aliyah will take place during this year especially from Ukraine, Russia, Ethiopia, USA and the Western World. Pray that more than 80,000 Jews will make Aliyah, the most since 1993 – for 30 years.
5. Pray that the fullness of salvation will be fulfilled this summer, that God will open a fountain of salvation over the House of David and all of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Israel and the Isaiah 19 Highway nations.
6. Pray that as the sons of Issachar, we will discern the times in which we live and know what Israel should do.
7. Pray for the next three months that God will prepare the way for the fullness of the breakthrough and God’s purpose for the All Nations Convocation: the Isaiah 19 Highway and All Nations Breakthrough to Jerusalem, from Rosh Hashanah-Feast of Trumpets until Yom Kippur to Sukkot, and that the gates will stay open both in Israel and all nations and the fullness of the delegates will come. It appears the next biblical feast to be fulfilled will be the Feast of Trumpets, which could happen very soon, preparing the way for the King is Coming of Glory.
8. We believe for the fullness of delegates to come to the ANCJ 2023 on September 15th-29th! We’re believing for 300 harpists, 300 shofar blowers, 400 young mighty men and women of David in their 20’s, like he had in Ein Gedi, 120 government leaders, 18 leaders to each bring 50 people or more, and 62 more nations to bring 10 or more to The Isaiah 19 Highway and All Nations Breakthrough to Jerusalem Convocation this year.

In January 2023, we held our 15th Apostolic Multiplication meeting in JHOPFAN with 30 key Jewish and Arab Multiplication Leaders. God continues to multiply disciples and congregations in the nation of Israel!
In January, we began the 6th Regional Pastors’ Meeting for the North Gush Dan area. About 30 pastors now meet bi-monthly in 6 different regions of Israel.
In February, we held our 30th anniversary Isaiah 19 conovcation in Istanbul, Turkey with 300 church planting and 24/7 prayer house leaders from the nations of the Highway, led by Israel and Turkey. God is moving in a powerful way.
In February, we also began a new 24/7 Harp & Bowl where 20 Jewish congregations and 10 Arab congregations in Jerusalem each adopt a day a month to do 24 hours of Harp & Bowl. This is called The King’s City 24/7 Watchman Shield based on Isaiah 62. Shortly after this began, Mike Bickle called an Isaiah 62 Fast in May.
In April, we had a Night to Honor, Worship, and Bless the King of Israel on Israel’s 75th birthday on the Jewish calendar, April 26th. God showed us that we should honor and worship the King with incense and perfume for His feet, welcoming Him to the Mount of Olives, even as Mary did in our neighborhood 2000 years ago, preparing his feet for burial as King.
On May 18th, we celebrated Great Commission Ascension Day with 120 pastors praying for the cities of Israel. These Jewish and Arab leaders also blessed all nations over global zoom for the fulfillment of the Great Commission from where it was given on the Mount of Olives. This day also happened to be Jerusalem Day on the Jewish Calendar, so it was a very special day on the Mount of Olives!
On May 28th, Pentecost Sunday, we celebrated Pentecost Sunday from the City of Pentecost. Borys Grysenko, Afeef Halasah, and I shared. At the exact time the Holy Spirit fell almost 2000 years ago, 9:00AM, a pure white dove landed on our prayer tower on our mural with the King’s Prayer, “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” and then it began to rain! God’s presence was awesome!
On June 7th, we prayed and continued standing for Jerusalem to remain the united capital of Israel. Five years ago, President Trump, on behalf of the United States, recognized Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel.
We convened Jerusalem Day of Prayer for All Nations for the leaders of Israel, for the 14th straight year, overlooking the Temple Mount, Golden Gate and Lions Gate, where Israeli troops went through and raised the Israeli flag and said, “Jerusalem, the City of the Great King, is in our hands!”
We appreciate your financial support for Aliyah and Laborers for the Harvest Fund. This month especially, we need $120,000 for each fund to meet the urgent needs. We greatly bless you from Jerusalem, the City of the Great King!
We warmly welcome you to join us for the All Nations Convocation Jerusalem this September 15th-29th, 2023! Register today, in June at the latest, to secure space at Ramat Rachel for the breakthrough for Egypt, Israel, and Assyria becoming a praise in the midst of the earth and a blessing to all the nations of the world.
We pray you will have the most blessed and fruitful summer ever, and we bless your nation and all nations!
Shalom in Messiah’s Love and Joy,
Tom & Kate Hess

December 11th-13th,
We thank God for a wonderful and blessed time at our Annual Joshua Generation conference in Eilat for about 250 young people under the age of 40 years from all over Israel. There was a strong presence of God at the meetings. Powerful worship, deep sharing and amazing testimonies of young people, especially in their 20s, were shared at the place. Also 24/7 prayer watches were hosted at our Eilat House of Prayer overseeing the borders of Jordan, Egypt & Saudi Arabia. We pray this year will be the year of the breakthrough among the younger generation to see greater multiplication of young disciples and congregations.
Praise the Lord for a powerful convocation that was hosted in Istanbul, Turkey this year. We gathered close to 300 people from almost 30 nations in the Middle East, mostly the young generation under age 40. Anointed worship with dancing and sharing were strongly manifested at the conference, especially testimonies of young leaders in their 20s. Also, 24/7 watches were covered by the delegates in an excellent way, with great reports of what God did over the times of prayer. We thank God for many breakthroughs we heard during the convocation and we pray for more to come this year in the whole Isaiah 19 highway region.
Praise the Lord for the 30th anniversary of the National Leadership gathering on the Great Commission Ascension Day and the blessing of coming together as one body from all over Israel to share briefly and pray for multiplication of congregations and disciples. We gathered about 120 Jewish & Arab leaders including the young generation under age 40 that shared briefly about what God has been doing in the past year. Every leader from each gateway blessed and prayed for the salvation of all the nations for the Great Commission to be fulfilled in their gateways from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. We pray for greater multiplication this year and for more young disciples to grow and multiply congregations in the land of Israel.
Today, we're believing for the fullness of the Aliyah/return of the Jewish people to Israel. Over 7,000,000 Jewish people are living in Israel. 95% of all the Jews from the North, South and East have returned to Israel. Most of the Jewish people living outside of Israel, about 85%, are living in the USA, approximately 7 million. God didn't say He's only going to bring them from the North, South and East; He said lastly, He's going to bring them from the West. We know that as surely as He's brought them from the North, South and East, He will bring them from the West. This is the order that He says He will bring them back.
I thought many more would have been coming back from the West in the last 5-10 years. I was surprised when last February 2022, something amazing happened. I couldn't understand what happened between Russia and Ukraine, except that God allowed the war to happen in order to bring 70,000 Jews, both from Ukraine and Russia. Even as God allowed the former Soviet Union to collapse in the 1980’s and 90’s, as 1.3 million Jews came back.
He’s continuing bringing the Jewish people home. Right now, I'm finishing another edition of "Let My People Go", the book that I originally wrote in 1987, with almost 2 million copies in print. This will be the 12th edition. The last number of editions had to do with the COVID-19 (2020-22); the economic crash of 2008; and 911 (2001). As terrible as these times were, they didn't affect aliyah as much as projected.
During COVID-19, they were projecting 100,000 Jews were going to come back from the USA. In the end, about 8,000 came. It is evident how bound the Jewish people are in the USA. Jonathan Cahn recently wrote and published a book about the gods of America. When I was in Russia in 1986, I asked the Lord why the Jews from the USA had not returned to Israel.
He said they're more bound in the USA than they are in Russia, and that was before communism came down. As communism came down, I understood it was true because then the 1.3 million came back, but in the USA they're still stuck there.
Something very serious, more serious than what has happened already, is going to happen in the USA that will cause the Jewish people to go back. I don't know what it will be; whether it's earthquakes; whether it’s anti-Semitism; whether it’s something nuclear, God
forbid! Right now, the world is in the most dangerous time we've ever seen; not only he nuclear threats of Iran, but also Russian is threatening the USA with nuclear weapons. We can see the way the USA is being shaken. It appears we have the worst government in the history of the USA.
The USA is not like it was 10 years ago, or even a few years ago when President Trump was in office. The USA is even losing leadership in the world. I believe that God is allowing the unraveling, as He did in the former Soviet Union. This unraveling will be a catalyst to bring the Jews home from the USA, because it says in Ezekiel 39:28 that He will bring the Jews back, not leaving any behind.
What does this mean? Just as most of them have come from Russia, there will be no Jews left in Paris, France! No Jews in Los Angeles! No Jews in New York City! They all will come back to Israel. That's going to take an incredible shaking in the USA to bring all the Jews back to Israel. As much as I love the USA and spent half of my life there, and as much as it's been a blessing for the Jewish people for the last 200, we know God will fulfill His word. God showed me in the vision I had in 1986, that we must warn the Jewish people that their destiny is not in the USA; their destiny is back in Israel. We believe this time is coming very soon.
I was praying this last year and God started to show me something in a very deep way about the Jewish people in Ukraine and Russia, similar to the Jewish people in Europe during the Holocaust. One of the biggest problems was that most of the Jewish rabbis told their people to stay, that everything's going to be ok. They wanted to keep their congregations in Europe. The Jewish and Christian prophets were warning that the people should leave now – that the fire was burning under their feet - liquidate Europe or Europe will liquidate you! Unfortunately, they listened to the rabbis and the time came when they could no longer escape. 70% of them died in the Holocaust.
It's very interesting that the same thing recently happened. The Jewish Agency knew the war was about to break out and they sent planes to bring the Jewish people home. Only 70 Jews came back. In fact, 162 Ukrainian rabbis declared in a joint statement that the people shouldn’t leave because everything's going to be ok, verbatim what the rabbis said in Europe during World War II. What happened? A few days later when the war broke out, all the men, including the Jews, could no longer leave as they were drafted to fight in the war. The Jewish families who decided to leave for Israel, now had to go without their husbands, fathers and sons, as they listened to the rabbis and they didn't learn from the lessons of the past. Our friend Boris said that most of the rabbis themselves left, even though the Jewish men could not leave. They left the the people after they told them not to leave.
We have to listen to the prophetic Word of the Lord. We have to follow the Word of the Lord! The Word of the Lord is that God's bringing them back and He's does not want to leave any behind.
Our brother and sister, Joshua & Rebecca Kang, are in Brooklyn proclaiming 700 scriptures day and night. They no longer have to open a book to proclaim the scriptures as they made wallpaper with the 700 scriptures in the prayer room. They're proclaiming them day and night off the wallpaper in the prayer room. People all over the world are joining with them, proclaiming the 700 scriptures. There are more Jews living in New York City than the 6 largest Jewish cities in Israel combined. But God says those people won't be there eventually as they're all going to be back in Israel, unless they perish because they don't come back in time
We're doing another printing of the book of “Let My People Go”. The latest chapter of the book is focused on encouraging the rabbis, Jewish leaders, and the heads of Jewish households all over the USA to return to Israel and lead their people with them. We're going to pray and fast and believe God that there's going to be a breakthrough before greater shakings come on the USA, that many of them will lead the way back to Israel.
When I wrote “Let My People Go” in 1987, I didn't have any idea at the time that a certain rabbi would endorse my book (and if you would understand what it means for a Jewish rabbi to endorse the book written by a Christian on Aliyah). Rabbi Riskin was leading a big thriving synagogue in New York City 40 years ago. God spoke to him leave the USA and go to Israel and build a city, encouraging the people to come with him. He helped to build the city of Ephrat, which is the Jewish settlement adjacent to Bethlehem; it’s an amazing city. He became the chief rabbi in the city of Ephrat. He was one of the few rabbis in the USA that ever left everything and came to Israel. In fact, what he did I think was more significant than almost any Jewish rabbi from the USA that moved to Israel! I want to thank God! God knew what he was doing long before I did, because I had no idea I would release this message as the last chapter of the book. There was no one better to to endorse my book than Rabbi Riskin from Efrat. He's now 81 years old and he's still living in Efrat. We honored him a couple years ago for standing with Israel in such a strong way, loving the Arab people, and standing with God's covenant or Judea and Samaria. We thank God for Rabbi Riskin’s leadership and we believe that there's going to be a breakthrough for the Aliyah from the USA.
Another dear brother, Matt Beer, moved to Israel during COVID from the state of Vermont. His Jewish grandmother was a Holocaust survivor who has since passed away. He had a dream of his grandmother and she told him, “It's better to come too early than too late.” He knew instantly that this was a warning that he was to move to Israel with his wife and 3 children immediately.
The cover of “Let My People Go” shows a Jewish man trying to break away from Wall Street and in red letters it says, “Let My People Go” - the struggle of the American Jews to return to Israel. New York City was the epicenter of COVID-19, where the most people died of anywhere in the USA. In fact, we started our Aliyah House of Prayer, on the absolute worse day of the pandemic in its epicenter, which happened to be Resurrection Sunday 2020. Since then, we've been keeping 24/7. We visited there the end of last year, and we thank God for Joshua, Rebecca and the team standing in the gap there. I have since added the cover of the book in red letters, “It is it's better to come too early then to come too late!”
We're believing God for favor to mail “Let My People Go” to 50,000 Jewish rabbis and leaders all over the USA as a warning and encouragement to learn from the mistakes of the history and to lead their people home, to be an example to their congregations. Go lead the way and believe that their families will follow them. We need breakthrough leadership that will lead the way by doing this. They can save their own lives, as well as their families, and they can be in Israel to fulfill their destiny in the land, according to God’s Word and promises.
We believe God for a big breakthrough. If you want to invest in this, we're going to need $200,000 for printing the books and for mailing them to 50,000 Jewish rabbis and leaders in USA. We're believing in the next month for $10,000 for the rent of the Aliyah House of Prayer in New York City. In addition, we are hoping to give $90,000 to the Jewish agency to help the young Joshua generation Jews, between 18 and 25, for their flights and kibbutz ulpan. We believe this is the month of the breakthrough for provision for Aliyah, as the program we’re
supporting is in jeopardy unless we help! Many more young people want to come than ever, but they don't have the funds. Last year, because there wasn't enough financial provision, some of the young Jews couldn’t return.
We pray for the fullness of the breakthrough for this year in these three areas: for the provision of watchmen and the apartment in Brooklyn; for the flights and the ulpan kibbutz program where the young people study Hebrew as they acclimate into Israel for five months; for the 50,000 copies - printing and mailing them to the rabbis and Jewish leaders all over America. Father, we lift this before You. We thank You that You're Jehovah Jireh, our provider, the provider for the Jewish people. We believe You that they will not miss their destiny in Israel, but that You will raise up Joshuas and Calebs, and people like Jabotinsky, like Menachem Begin like Natan Sharansky, like Rabbi Riskin from Efrat, that left New York City; like Matt Beer that heard the Word of the Lord from a dream with his grandmother and came back to Israel. In just three months he made aliyah with his whole family and God is richly blessing him here.
Father, we believe You to download the Jewish people, according to Your Word. We pray for the fullness of provision to prepare the way for this Word to be released all over the USA. We bless You and lead us now as we pray for Aliyah from different parts of the USA!
Please prayerfully consider partnering with God’s word, 700 times, by giving towards Aliyah, the return of the Jewish people to Israel.

Bethany was where Jesus lived in Jerusalem.
This is where Lazarus was raised from the dead. (John 11:43-44) 2
This is where Mary anointed Jesus. (John 12:1-8)
This is where the fig tree was cursed (Mark 11:14, 21-24), but now is blossoming (Luke 21:24-29,32). Pray for Jerusalem to remain the united capital of Israel and for full reconciliation of her residents to God and each other. 3

This is where the Triumphal Entry began on Palm Sunday. (Luke 19:28-44)
This is where the Great Commission was originally given and is now on the walls of JHOPFAN in the 24 most spoken languages (Acts 1:8) and where the apostles took the first fruits of the Gospel to the nations. Now we are believing that the Gospel will come to fullness from the ends of the earth, through the 12 gates, back to Jerusalem. This is where Jesus ascended to heaven (Luke 24:50-52; Acts 1:9). Receive a double portion of the fresh anointing to fulfill the Great Commission back to Jerusalem in your generation and prepare the way for the King of Glory.
This is where you can visit and join 24/7 Harp & Bowl in the Tabernacle of David where it has continued unceasingly for 35 years and where watchmen & staff stay to pray. (Rev. 5:8; Isaiah 62:6-7)

Golden Gate (May 18th - May 19th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
Golden Gate: GCAD started with the Golden Gate nations. There was a strong response from these nations, especially from Malaysia and the Philippians. Ministry and churches sent us videos to testify that the Holy Spirit moved mightily in those days. The salvation of Jerusalem will be like a blazing torch, as the fullness of the salvation of Jews and Gentiles will come. Praise the Lord!
Bethany Gate (May 19th - May 20th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
The 24/7 Bethany Gate Upper room prayer was powerful! Everyone was so excited to have 24/7 prayer during Shavuot/Pentecost. Most of the Bethany Gate Nations like UAE, Yemen, Indonesia Oman, Sri Lanka, Australia, and New Zealand joined, and some have sent testimonies of how to they the felt Holy Spirit when they were praying. Some said that they were happy to pray at such a time as this. Many believed that this will change their national situations and that God’s salvation will be released upon their fellow citizens. Glory to God!
Mount Zion Gate (May 20th - May 21st, 6:00am - 6:00am)
For the honor and glory of our God, many nations from Mount Zion Gate such as Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Tanzania, Djibouti and Ethiopia raised up 24 hours altar for the Church to be led back to the Scriptures by the Holy Spirit. It was felt that this is the decade of the harvest, emphasizing that it is God’s soul - winning strategy in these last days. We thank God for what He is doing in the Mont Zion Gate nations.
Bethlehem Gate (May 21st - May 22nd, 6:00am - 6:00am)
We thank the Lord for the great awakening in the Body of Christ and the 24/7 Watch. Nations in the Bethlehem Gate such as South Africa, Malawi and Uganda participated; we prayed together, faithfully keeping our time slots, from the 12 prayer points and also for the leaders of the Bethlehem Gate. By God's divine intervention and grace, much prayer for the nations and Israel was orchestrated. The Presence and move of the Holy Spirit is real amidst very challenging trials. We believe the time of manifestation of the Victory of the blood of Jesus at Calvary and the Power of His Resurrection is ushering the Time of Restoration and The Great Revival.
Ein Kerem Gate (May 22nd - May 23rd, 6:00am - 6:00am)
We participated in a 24/7 Ascension Day to Pentecost prayer journey with the 12 gates involved. Due to its territorial extension, Brazil is presented in two gates and therefore we had two days dedicated to 24/7 prayers. “It was such an honor to participate and be reunited with the nations in a prophetic moment. In the time of Jesus, at the same time that we were gathered, Pentecost took place in the upper room and the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, as it is written in the book of Acts, in chapter 2. It was fantastic! ” - Brazil
Mevasseret Gate (May 23rd - May 24th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
We had a very special time, where many nations were gathered together to pray with us in one accord for their nations and Jerusalem. Nations who participated: Aruba, Argentina, Ecuador, Ghana, Norway, USA and Venezuela. Some of them shared with me testimonies concerning the feeling of God’s presence; others were touched by the Holy Spirit and were praying without stopping for such a time; others were crying; everyone was thankful to God for the opportunity to be online praying and receiving. They said that it’s amazing how God works even through the screen - there is not limitation for God!
Jaffa Gate (May 24th - May 25th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
There were 14 primary participating locations in the Jaffa Gate nations for Great Commission Ascension Day. They reported powerful times of prayer, worship, and activation for the fulfillment of the Great Commission! One US based leader said there were about 20,000 house churches in their network participating worldwide with a number of other events happening in the USA and elsewhere. We know that these events & prayers, coupled with the Isaiah 62 Fast in May, is a major milestone in the global Church that will bear much fruit in the nations!
New Gate (May 25th - May 26th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
12 New Gate nations were part of 24/7 prayers, praise and proclamation in the heart of the EU and neighbouring European countries. In the midst of a lot of trouble in Europe “…we believe this is a decisive time of mercy, forgiveness and reconciliation.” - Jan D., Serbia. Among many needs, strong prayers rose up for workers of the harvest in Europe. There was anointing of authority against secularism on one hand, and the spirit of religion, as well as Replacement Theology on the other. Joshua Generation was also on focus of the prayers and we proclaimed them sanctified and holy, set apart for God’s purposes. As always we prayed for the peace of Jerusalem and the fullness of God’s glory to surround her, protect her and shine forth from her to the nations.
Samuel’s Mt. Gate (May 26th - May 27th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
We prayed for prophetic bridges of peace between Russia and Ukraine, between Russia and all other countries in this gateway; over the bridges of shalom in the Holy Spirit, to bring each other words and prayers of consolation, encouragement and grace. We thank the Lord for Aliyah and seeing how the prophecies are being fulfilled right before our eyes!!
Damascus (May 27th - May 28th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
Together with the Awakening Movement in Russia, we prayed during the Damascus Gate for a Global Awakening in Russia, for the unity of the Churches. We prayed for Aliyah, for the fulfillment of prophecies, for the youth of Russia and for the transmission of the heritage to a new generation! We bless Israel and pray for revelation in the churches and among the people of God about Israel. Watchmen, wake up and stand on the walls!
Bethel Gate (May 28th - May 29th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
We prayed and see a revival in the Bethel Gate nations! Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan prayed together for revival in their countries! We also prayed for revelation about Israel and for a closer cooperation with Israel at all levels!
Lions Gate (May 29th - May 30th, 6:00am - 6:00am)
The nations in the Lions Gate prayed for the power of the Holy Spirit to come upon the people who were waiting upon Him. We believed for the fullness of the Jews and Gentiles will be accepted the Lord Jesus, our Savior. Specially we will see the breakthrough of the revival of the chopstick nations. More workers will be sent to the mission fields to do the harvest. Some prayer house and families prayed on the ground, and some joined together and prayed online. Glory to God.

Itis hard to keep up on the development of the King’s Harp Program, as we have more harpists than ever all over the world and here in Israel. The harvest is overtaking the sower and reaper! Many of the new harpists are children and young people. Please keep them in your prayers, that a hedge of protection would be around their hearts and lives. They are very precious yet vulnerable. Please pray for more laborers to help carry this vision, especially faithful leaders and trainers. Please pray for the resources (human, harps and financial) to advance the program. We see a great desire from the people, but there are many needs to be met to fulfill this vision.
Wewere blessed to have 12 students from 7 countries in the Middle East. God is raising up the Isaiah 19 harpists!
“Both singers and players on instruments (harps) say, “All my springs are in You.”Psalm 87:7
During passover we had 35 harpists, mostly from Israel, new and developing, for 3 days, culminating with a worship time at the Garden Tomb. Truly, God is raising up a generation who will seek His face, O God of Jacob!
“Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God.” Psalm 43:4
“On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” says the Lord who does this thing. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord , “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.” Amos 9:11-13
Right after Pentecost, we had 10 students (8 children, 2 adults) learning the harp in our Golan House of Prayer. God is moving in a new way in the north of Israel! Let’s pray for more breakthrough and hearts responding to worship.
“It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing - life forevermore.” Psalm 133:3
We continue to develop the coloring books for the next generation. We are looking forward to releasing NEW adult and children's version of The Fruit of the Spirit. May we bear much fruit of the Spirit for His Glory! “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
We continue to meet monthly with children from all backgrounds at the house of prayer. We have a 3 hour program where we eat, play, worship, pray, learn from the Bible and related activities (drama, art, etc.) This year we had an average of 25-30 children involved - which is a lot for Israel! The Children of Destiny, from Australia, made a special trip to be with us and join with The Branches program. They brought so much joy to the children, as well as t-shirts and lots of rhythm activities. Also, various groups and helpers joined through out the year. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
Please prayerfully and generously invest in Jerusalem Children's Fund. In doing so, you are storing your treasure in heavenly places for all eternity. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:15

Wegive God all the glory and praise for a wonderful Jerusalem Day of Prayer to stand in solidarity and unity for one united city of the Great King! Also 100 international leaders joined us in calling this globally and we put an advertisment on this front page of the Jerusalem post (see on next page). We had about 50 leaders from Israel and particularly from Jerusalem that came together at the garden of Ps. Tom & Ps. Kate Hess to proclaim and pray for Jerusalem. The time of communion was shared and served by the Jewish and Arab local pastors at the end of the meeting. We pray for peace over Jerusalem in Messiah to be restored to His Kingdom and prepare the way for the coming King of Glory to take His throne in the City of the Great King.
