Stearns, Hayford Launch Interfaith Video Prayer Movement

The largest Jerusalem-focused prayer event in history, the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem involves 300,000 churches and tens of millions of believers in 175 nations praying for the peace of the nation and everyone who lives there.

Now in its tenth year, the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem happens annually on the first Sunday of October. The goal is to raise global awareness and intercession for Jerusalem.

For the first time, Day of Prayer participants can record video prayers through KeepTree.com. The videos will be permanently stored and displayed in a gallery, to be shared with the people of Israel.

“This will be the biggest international video exchange of interfaith words of encouragement and prayers in history,” says Robert Stearns, founder and executive director of Eagles Wings, and co-chairman along with Jack Hayford of the global prayer day.

“Indeed, it will demonstrate to the inhabitants of Jerusalem that they are not alone,” he continues. “And it will provide an opportunity for much needed healing, as Christians around the world express love and support and our steadfast commitment to see true peace come to Jerusalem and all in the Middle East.”

Jerusalem is the birthplace of Western civilization, the spiritual center of Judeo-Christian faith, the axis for religious thought and belief that for centuries has had a broader and ensuing effect on philosophical, cultural, artistic, sociological and political expression.

“As Israel is facing unprecedented threats from its neighbors, we’re encouraging 800,000 people to record video prayers,” says Jon Loew, Founder, CEO of KeepTree, “one for each of the 800,000 inhabitants of Jerusalem to remind her that she does not stand alone.”
