Jerusalem Ministry

The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast

In June of 2017, a landmark – and in my opinion, prophetic – event took place in Jerusalem. For the very first time in modern history, Christians leaders around the world joined with Israeli Government officials for a PRAYER BREAKFAST!

The inaugural Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, similar to our Presidential National Prayer Breakfast held yearly in Washington D. C., attracted more than 570 delegates from 58 nations. It was held fifty years to-the-day after the Jews regained the Temple Mount and the entire City of Jerusalem in the Six Day War.

The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast is unique; never before had the Knesset itself officially sanctioned this type of inter-faith fellowship. MP Robert Ilatov was designated as chairman of this effort. Albert Veksler was appointed overall coordinator.

Its goals are to foster better relations between the Government and the Evangelical community, to garner our universal support and simply to PRAY for the peace of Jerusalem!

And believe me, during these meetings, sincere and powerful prayer most definitely takes place by both Jews and Christians! One Jewish Cabinet member remarked that she had never ‘felt’ such a spiritual atmosphere.

Each year this two-day gathering, which also holds seminars and various meetings, has been truly anointed of God. Harvest Fellowship International is blessed to be a partner. Pastor Rick is a member of the Advisory Team.

The JPB has been privileged to have the President of Israel, the Honorable Reuven Rivlin and former Knesset Speaker, Yuli Edelstein address our convocation.

Other speakers have included Ruth Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham, former Presidential candidate, Michele Bachmann, Rabbi Yehuda Glick, former Governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, Michael Oren plus numerous other Israeli and Christian religious, political, business and military leaders.

Many Countries are wavering in their support of Israel. With passion and purpose, the JPB now visits different nations sponsoring Prayer Breakfasts, seeking to rally their leadership to support the State of Israel, to foster better relations and – of course – to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
