Understand what God is doing in / with / through Israel - the land and the people. Read Don Finto's book (subtitled "How Israel, the Jews and the Christian Church will come together in the Last Days") Be a part of this - don't miss out!
Remember Israel is the only western style democracy in the area, where journalists are free to use unfavorable news. Seek to understand the real history of the area rather than the rewritten history which is so widely accepted.

Pray for Israel.
Pray for the Jews, the children of Israel, all around the world who are returning home. (Making Aliyah)
Pray for the Jews already in Eretz Israel (the land of Israel), all the groups from ultra orthodox to secular.
Pray for the Messianic Jews, especially in Israel. They are at the forefront of the battle for Israel but suffer oppression, particularly from the ultra orthodox. Israel now has laws carrying a jail term for those sharing their faith (if it is Messianic Jewish). Nobody has yet been jailed.
Pray for those who are ministering in the name of Yeshua ha Massiach (Jesus the Messiah) to Jews in Israel and elsewhere.
Pray for Israel's government leaders having to deal with a hostile world and its ignorant leaders who hold naive notions of peace which fail to take into account the God of Israel and the god of Islam.
Pray for the Arab people who live in Israel.
Pray for the Palestinian Christians in their difficult circumstances. They are persecuted by their Muslim neighbours, but are under pressure to show solidarity as Palestinians. (Terrorists like to take over their homes and churches to snipe at Jewish targets, so that returned fire on Christian homes can be shown to the world)
Pray for the Israeli Arabs who are also in difficult circumstances, in that they want to be under Israeli government rather than the corruption and terror of the Palestine Authority. Some Israeli Arabs have recently been drawn in to the conflict on the Palestinian side.
Pray for the Muslim Palestinian people, under such bondage to their leaders that many young people have been so mislead that they are prepared to blow themselves to pieces in the hope of taking some Jews with them.
Pray for other minority people, like the Druze and others from Southern Lebanon; and for those who minister to them.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122 v6) This can be a bit of a cliche if taken in the context of the type of false, political peace which is being sought by world leaders. "They have also healed the hurt of my people slightly saying, "Peace, Peace" when there is no peace." (Jeremiah 6 v14) There is more to this than the obvious desire for peace. . . . see Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
"Christian Friends of Israel" can help you pray. (Click www.cfijerusalem.org)
Pray for the Arab people worldwide who live in bondage to Islam. Pray that they may be released from the indoctrination of hatred against the God of Israel and His chosen people, so that they may share in His blessing (Isaiah 19 v23-25) instead of His judgment.
Pray for our governments. The American administration appears to be understanding the situation and responding more appropriately, but Europe appears to be aligning itself more with the Palestinian regime, both politically and financially.
Pray for the unsaved in your own land
Everything we see about Israel points to the "Times of the Gentiles" drawing to a close; our time to see our neighbours brought into the Kingdom may be much shorter than we or they imagine. (See End Times and Rapture )
Please also pray for the ProblemPage attached to this web site, which is a new venture in Internet Outreach to the people of cyberspace.
Support organisations working in Israel, such as Internatianal Christian Embassy Jerusalem, Exobus, Voice of Hope (radio ministry), Exploits Ministry. ( See Internet links, )
If you are led to give financial aid to the suffering Jews in
Israel; www.istandwithisrael.com,
ministers to
believers and unbelievers to help the orphans, the widows, the poor and the
oppressed.
They reach out financially to the survivors among
the growing number of victims in Israel killed and maimed literally every day
since October 2000. The Jewish people need to know that there are
followers of Israel’s Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) – both Jew and Gentile, who
love them, pray for them, and want to help them in a practical way.
This organization is to be preferred to a similarly named organization which, though worthy in many ways, passes on no aid to Messianic believers and actually oppresses them.
You might be surprised that "Christian Aid" and some other Christian charities have a worldview rooted in Replacement Theology and Anti-Semitism. If you read the Christian Aid policy document on the Middle East you will find that the rhetoric is all derived from the Palestine Authority propaganda, and that their efforts in this area are political pressure against Israel rather than berating the Palestine Authority leaders for misappropriating all the EU and USA aid money and for leading their people into the conflict which is causing them so much suffering. The Christian Aid output on Israel is all in terms of the "Occupied Palestinian Territories", which is demonstrably untrue. (see Land)
