Points of Prayer

Israel hold’s a special place in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. As a MENACA movement in the area, our hope is that we would acknowledge Israel’s chosen place in the Lord’s plan, but also that as Believers, we would recognize that Jews, Christians, and unreached peoples need our prayer and blessings. Let us not forget Romans 10:26, we pray in agreement with Paul’s prophecy that ‘all Israel will be saved.’

  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, “May they be secure who love you!” (Psalm 122:6)

  • Pray for protection of Believers and those who continue to spread the same Gospel that the Messiah brought to them 2000 years ago.

  • Pray that those following Judaism would recognize that the banquet has begun, that they are still invited, and that we wait with haste for their arrival.

  • Pray that those following Islam would receive the same invitation to the banquet and that they would know that we wait for their arrival with the same vigor.

  • Pray for that Arab-Israeli nationals would be invited and welcomed into the Body of Christ. (Let us pray for all ethnic groups in Israel to be reached).

  • Pray against violence and turmoil in the region. That though there may be deeper rooted hate and contempt, that small victories would be achieved with Jesus as the center.

  • Pray for families who are displaced, unreached peoples, Christians, and Jews.

  • Pray for those who are doing the work of spreading the Gospel. That they would be encouraged and strengthened, and not grow weary. That they would see the fruit of their work and reap multitudes in miraculous ways.

  • Pray for a resolution to the current national situation, with justice for the Palestinians and security for both sides. Stability needs to be formed, one for Israeli citizens and one for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

  • Pray that politicians, all over the world, will work toward peach. Much prayer is now needed for the war to stop.

  • Pray that God will supply the needs and that we, the Church, can help the needy.
