God bless the people of this church in Harlem:
A church in the Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem included a special prayer for the people of Israel, the Israeli government and peace in its traditional Sunday prayer.
The prayer was organized by Bishop Carlton Brown of the Bethel Gospel Assembly, who runs a network of 18 chains in the New York district.
About 1,000 people took part in a special prayer. The bishop, who visited Israel three times this year and was even in Sderot, invited Israel’s Consul-General to New York Assi Shariv to attend the prayer.
[…] All of New York’s television stations covered the event. Consul-General Shariv addressed the worshippers and read out a children’s story written by kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. The meeting concluded with a 10-minute prayer for Israel.
Israel does have friends, probably more than we know—because these stories don’t get around much.
Yes, Israel has many friends- as do Jewish people everywhere. And I pray with all of my heart that more Christians will stand up and publicly proclaim their support of Israel.
I have no platform, and my reach is small, but I will speak up for Israel whenever and wherever I can.
