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.
End-Time
Handmaidens and Servants have a special burden and affinity
for God's special land, Israel.There are ministry tours each
year in October to the Feast of Tabernacles celebrations and
God has led the ministry to establish a base, the House of
Peace, in Jerusalem with a five-fold purpose:
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
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.
