Millions of Christians Unite in Prayer, Fasting for Israel Before Pentecost
This month, thousands of ministries worldwide will unite in prayer for Israel. Many believe this historic initiative couldn’t be happening at a better time.
Mike Bickle of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri, explains how this call to intercede began:
“We began a call on March 7, about six weeks ago, and the call—in essence—was to call 1 million people to pray for one hour a day for Jerusalem, for 21 days,” he said.
The call to pray begins May 7 and runs through May 28. Bickle says the response to this call has now gone viral—and global. {eoa}
