Help Us Lift Up Israel and the Jewish People In Prayer

The Fellowship Prayer Team unites Jews and Christians around the world to raise a chorus of prayer to God for the security, well-being, and protection of Israel and the Jewish people. By appealing to God on behalf of his children, the Prayer Team will make a powerful, positive impact on Israel's struggle for peace and security, and provide a tremendous source of encouragement to Israel and her people.


Pray for the Fellowship Prayer Team, that we will grow and multiply the number of faithful intercessors. Teach us how to pray in power.

Pray for global cooperation on the current financial crisis. Pray for the poor and the vulnerable, and everyone at risk of losing meager resources due to credit problems and banking failures.
Pray for the upcoming U.S. elections.

Pray that the next administration will support Israel, be a good steward of the resources God has given the American people, and honor God in words and in action.

During a period of political uncertainty in Israel, continue to pray for a smooth transition of power from outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to his successor.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. "Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men". Psalm 59:1-2

Pray to stem the rise of anti-Semitism in the world today, which has grown worse during the current economic crisis. "Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy. Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evildoers. They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows". Psalm 64:1-3

Pray for the protection and safety of Christians in India and Iraq currently suffering under harsh persecution. Pray that God will calm religious tensions in these troubled areas.
Pray for Rabbi Eckstein.

Pray that God will protect and guide him as he works in partnership with Fellowship supporters to help poor Jews in Israel and around the world, and to help Jews return to Israel from the four corners of the earth. Pray for continued blessings on the ministry of The Fellowship.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983 by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein to promote understanding between Jews and Christians and build broad support for Israel and other shared concerns. Now celebrating our 25th year of lifesaving ministry, our vision is that Jews and Christians will reverse their 2,000-year history of discord and replace it with a relationship marked by dialogue, respect and cooperation
