A SPECIAL REQUEST
From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team
Dear Marshall,
The awful historical record shows that Jews have been the targets of fierce discrimination and even persecution in "Christian lands" over the centuries. The Vatican-inspired Crusaders deliberately murdered Jewish people during the Middle Ages. The Roman Catholic Inquisitions were directed against the Jews in Spain and elsewhere, leaving many dead or in prison. The pogroms of Russia and Eastern Europe forced Jews from their homes and left untold numbers dead.
As evil as these anti-Semitic assaults were, they all pale in comparison to the Holocaust of World War II. Some six million Jews perished in "Christian" Europe, at least one million of them children. They were the victims of a cruel regime that had sprung up in the very land where Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation. A full one-third of the entire Jewish race was wiped off the face of God's green earth by Hitler's Nazi forces. The utter horror of the hideous Holocaust, as revealed by the testimonies of death-camp survivors, cannot be overstressed.
Too late, many Germans recognized the blessings that the Jewish people brought to their society before Hitler's tragic rise to power. Jewish composers, scientists, doctors, teachers, writers, and others contributed their significant talents and intelligence to the land of Luther and were repaid with Hitler's death chambers. American Christians should be the first to welcome the many contributions and blessings brought to this great land by our Jewish citizens.
During one of my first trips to Israel, I spent an afternoon with a brilliant Jewish scholar. He was researching and writing a book on the Spanish Inquisition. We talked for hours about his findings. Have you ever wondered why Columbus sailed in search of a new land in 1492? Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand had issued an edict of ejection regarding the Jews. It stated that every person of Jewish descent had to leave Spain or be executed. Jewish businessmen went to Christopher Columbus, an Italian Jew, and pledged to finance his efforts to discover a new land. They purchased the ships that carried Columbus across the ocean to the shores of what would become America.
In 1776, when the 13 Colonies were fighting the British during the American Revolution, the colonial soldiers were poorly armed, starving to death, and on the verge of defeat. A Jewish banker from Philadelphia, Hyman Solomon, went to the Jews in America and Europe and gathered a gift of one million dollars. He gave the money to George Washington to buy clothes and arms to outfit the American troops. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were born on American soil as a result of that gift.
America has been blessed because she has blessed the nation of Israel (Genesis 12:1-3). But America is in danger of moving away from the place of blessing to the place of cursing. The land-for-peace deals of recent years have placed Israel and the Jewish people in grave danger. Will you stand with me today in standing for Israel?
We have a very short window of opportunity to do our part to deliver Israel from destruction. The Jerusalem Prayer Team is focused on this effort between now and Purim to help the Jewish people. I'm asking you today to join us in making Purim a special celebration for those who have suffered so much and who have so little as we do our part to deliver Israel from destruction.

We must do all that we can to defend the Jewish state and God's Chosen People. In addition, the Jerusalem Prayer Team is working to meet the needs of the poor and elderly in Israel, and we are working diligently to bring the Christian Zionist Heritage Center to life to share the true story of Christian love with the Jewish people for generations to come.
When you send your gift of $30 or more, we will send you Corrie ten Boom's book "The Hiding Place." This is the riveting account of how Corrie ten Boom and her family were able to save many of God's Chosen People during WW II. For 35 years, millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still. Now, "The Hiding Place," repackaged for a new generation of readers, continues to declare that God's love will overcome, heal, and restore.
If you are able to send a gift of $100 or more, we will send you an amazing Hebrew-English Bible study tool. The Hebrew Bible CD ROM computer tutorial is packed with resources to open the Word of God to you like never before. You will gain a powerful understanding of the depth of meaning found in the Hebrew language and a new appreciation for the life and times of the Old Testament heroes. It's a treasure you will use again and again.
