This Sunday, October 1, 2017, millions of people around the world will join together to pray for the peace of Jerusalem in observation of the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

The first Sunday of every October is designated to raise global awareness and unite believers around the world to cry out to God on behalf of this troubled, but strategic land and the Israeli people. It is expected there will be at least 175 participating nations and 500 million believers praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem began in 2002 in meetings with leading political and religious leaders from Israel and the United States and is now a global prayer movement. The vision is “for sustained, fervent, and informed global intercession for the plans and purposes of God for Jerusalem and all her people.”

This is also an historic year for Israel and the Jewish people as it is the 50^th anniversary of the unification of Jerusalem, the 95^th anniversary of the Mandate for Palestine, and the 100^th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, both of which establish the legal and historic right of the Jews to the land.
