Global Day of Prayer for Jerusalem Unites Christians and Jews Alike

"The fact is, whatever our theological or political positions regarding Israel, we can all agree there is a Biblical mandate...that should cause us to pray." –Rev. Robert Stearns

(Jerusalem)—On Sunday, Christian pastors and Jewish Rabbis teamed up, agreeing together, with millions globally, in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem.

It was the 5th annual Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ), headed by Rev. Robert Stearns of Eagles' Wings ministry, and Dr. Jack Hayford from Church on the Way. The two were reportedly joined by Rabbis Shlomo Riskin and Benny Elon of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus, for the day of prayer. (DPPJ logo)

According to the Christian Post and Jerusalem Post reports, Rabbi Riskin stated, "Our best friends in the United States are Christians, offering love, friendship, and partnership. We would be foolish not to take advantage of it, especially during these troubled times."
