Dear Friends and Prayer Partners

As Christmas approaches, I would like to extend our warmest greetings from Jerusalem for the upcoming holiday season. I would also like to thank you on behalf of our entire ministry for your support throughout 2025.

This has been a very trying year for Israel, as it began with the nation still under the dark cloud of war on numerous fronts, but it is now ending in a better place with renewed hope for the future. Israel has won many great victories in the past two years of intense conflict, and we have to thank the Lord for each and every one! The recent return of the last living hostages from Gaza was an especially landmark day of relief and rejoicing for all Israelis. God has protected and preserved the Jewish nation and people. He has surely answered our prayers!

So, as we celebrate the first coming of Christ in human flesh, may more Christians see the restoration of Israel as God’s faithful harbinger of His second coming as well. And may you enjoy the Lord’s blessing and favour in the year ahead, even as you continue to support our ministry in 2026.

Please watch our special Christmas message below, “Christmas Greeting from Shepherd’s Fields near Bethlehem”, as ICEJ Senior Vice President & Spokesman David Parsons shares from the fields outside Bethlehem.

If you have any prayer requests, please let us know, and we will pray for your needs here in Jerusalem. Also, we encourage you to connect with our numerous prayer networks worldwide. Remember, we serve a prayer-answering God!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year, filled with His love, peace and joy!
