Stand with Israel in this Pivotal Hour!
..in the name of the LORD I cut them off!” Psalm 118:11
For several days our ICEJ Headquarters staff in Jerusalem, repeatedly ran to bomb shelters along with the entire nation of Israel, as dozens of Iranian missile rained down, each time rocket interceptions and ground impacts came closer.
Within hours of the Beit Shemesh disaster (pictured below), only 19 km from Jerusalem, Iran started deliberately targeting the Holy city, using their best guided missiles. One unexploded warhead fell, just 500 meters from the Temple Mount. Another rocket blew a large crater in a main highway in Jerusalem.

The people of Israel have faced over two years of war, tension, uncertainty and buried husbands, wives and children, they once again face barrages of huge missiles from an Islamic Regime consumed by a death cult of hatred.
But God has provided escape.
Psalm 118:11, “They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!”
This is a pivotal moment for the Jewish people, they need to know that Christians are at their side, to give them the courage and stamina to endure the Iranian missiles now raining down on Israeli cities.
The hour to act is now! As Mordecai told his niece Esther:
“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place … Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)
The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem is uniquely positioned to give you a direct way to help hurting, traumatised and needy Israelis at this time.

ICEJ WEBINAR
Iran has shut down social media and news reports from the country are mostly government controlled. Listen in on this week’s ICEJ Webinar to find out the latest on what is really happening inside Iran from a native-born Iranian. Ramin Parsa is a pastor who now lives in Jerusalem but has many family and friends still in Iran. He gave us a special update on the longing of the Iranian people to finally be free of the radical Islamist regime.
Thank you for your support,
