Jews, Christians Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

CBN 06-08-2018
JERUSALEM, Israel – Hundreds of Christians from around the world gathered in Jerusalem this week, together with Israeli Knesset members and Jewish leaders, to pray for the peace of Jerusalem at the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast.

"I think about the fact that God is joining Jews and Christians together for such an event.  This is a wonder.  This is such a wonder happening in our day and age," said Sharon Daugherty, founding pastor of the Victory Christian Center.

"We are in the last days.  And we recognize that God is moving by his Holy Spirit around the world but particularly here in Israel," Daugherty told CBN News.

This is the second year that the gathering has taken place. Knesset Member Robert Ilatov initiated the breakfast that's co-chaired by former US Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. It's part of a global movement to encourage Jews and Christians to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  This year representatives from 70 nations came up to Jerusalem. Some noted that there were 70 nations in Israel's 70th year.
