Points of Prayer

  • Pray for the ability to build a HUB to serve the region of the Holy Land and raise up a team that would serve the Lord’s vision for His church among Jews, Arabs and foreigners.

  • Pray for the Lord to raise up women to plant churches in homes.

  • Pray the Lord breaks through strongholds of Fear, Pride, Betrayal, Jealousy & Envy, Distrust, Disunity, Competition, Rejection.

  • Pray that the Lord would replace these strongholds with a stronghold of the joy of the Lord

  • Pray for the millions of refugees living in the region. That they would not feel displaced and disregarded - forgotten, but instead they would encounter the living God and would spread His message to the ends of the earth, wherever they are scattered. 

  • Pray for BAM opportunities to thrive. 

  • In Matthew 11:27 Jesus tells us that He will reveal the Father to whom He pleases. 

    We pray that our Prince of Peace would reveal himself and His Father to this land of struggle and stronghold. 

  • Pray against the spirit of anti-Christ. Neither of the two primary faiths in in the Holy Land recognize the Son of God, His Spirit and resurrection power. 

    Neither of them understand the cost and beauty of forgiveness in the cross of Christ. 

  • Pray they would stop retaliating against each other out of anger, fear, pride and revenge. 

  • Pray for the salvation of Muslims that will cause a jealousy for the Lord in the eyes of their brothers, the Jews. That their eyes will be opened to the truth of the Son. 

  • Pray fervently for Jesus to reveal himself to both Muslims and Jews in dreams, visions, healings and acts of kindness. The kindness of the Lord leads us to repentance. 

  • Pray for unity in the small percentage of believers. If it is up to us, we will be peacemakers to everyone everywhere.

  • Pray for a sustained movement of prayer‬‬
