Israel today is the living fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Christians need to experience this wonderful place, not only to see the places where our spiritual forefathers lived, but to comfort the people who live there now. This is why God led us to have a house in Jerusalem.

Our principal mission in Jerusalem is one of prayer. It is a high honor to be able to pray for the peace of Jerusalem right here in Zion. We have been walking the streets in prayer and waking in the night hours to intercede for the people. We serve as "watchman" for the city, praying for our Savior's return (Is. 62:6-7). We also alert the Body of Christ to particular prayer needs concerning Israel.

We have sought also to be a House where our prayers and praise would be as sweet incense to the Lord God. We have endeavored to seek His face and to invite His presence to continually dwell in our midst.

To Strengthen the Body of Christ

The House of Peace has become a Holy Ghost "oasis" for many Christians who are spiritually dry and thirsty in this land. Our Tuesday night prayer/praise meetings have continually filled the house with local believers who come to meet and pray. Some have traveled over an hour to "be here." People find themselves refreshed, nourished, cleansed and renewed in their spirits. We have had healings as well as manifestations of His Glory here.

The Lord is also unifying His church body in Jerusalem. We have be able to form precious bonds of fellowship with local congregations.

We have participated in outreaches to the Arab community, where we have found a people"hungry" to know Christ. We have given to those in need, sharing food, clothes, finances and prayer with them. We have also sought to give a witness of Christian love to our neighbors, reaching out to them in friendship, and to let Israel know they are not alone!



To Bring the Light of Christ to the Nations 

The nations of the world are in Israel. Laborers come here from almost every part of the earth to find work. Many also find Jesus. The House of Peace is helping fulfil Christ's great commission by sharing the "good news" with Chinese, Filipinos, Romanians and Africans. Some of these workers in turn take His Word back to their home countries.

To Bring Revival

The Word clearly shows a time coming when living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem (Ez.47:1, Zech. 14:8). We have been praying for the various cities and peoples throughout this land: Jews, Moslems and Christians, that God will give His peace to all.

The Lord wants to pour out His Spirit over Israel and on the sons and daughters (Joel2:28, Acts 2:16-18). It is time for revival here (Zech. 13:1). It is time for the dry bones to receive life (Ez. 37:4, 14). Come and pray for revival.

To Provide Hospitality

The Lord is bringing His people up to Jerusalem, to receive new orders and fresh burdens to pray for this land and people. He has given the House of Peace a hospitality ministry, to receive our members as pilgrims. We have had members from the nations come and stay with us. In the past six months, we have had guests from Norway, France, England, Africa, United States, Mexico and Israel. We have also had entire ETH branches visit.
