Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem: A Letter from Jaeson Ma

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:03:26 +0000

Dear 1040 movers and shakers,

As the 1040 Movement unfolds, we are again reminded of the desperate need for peace in the Middle East. At this crucial juncture in history, with so much warfare and unrest in that region, we believe that God has a special plan for the world for which the peace of Jerusalem will be indispensable. Please read the following letter from Jaeson Ma and join us for the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem on the first Sunday of October.

Grace and peace,

The 1040 Team

Dear Pastors, Leaders and Friends,

I would like to personally encourage each of you to join with millions worldwide the first Sunday of October for “The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.” It is critical as believers that we continue to daily uplift Israel in our prayers, as we are commanded in scripture to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

As many of you know, I have been traveling for the past 3 years to Israel to understand God’s heart for His chosen people, to stand with them in prayer & expectancy for God’s purposes to be fulfilled in the end days. I am now working with Dr. Robert Stearns (Eagle Wings Ministries) to support and mobilize prayer around the world, especially amongst the Asian & Asian American body of Christ worldwide to pray & support the day of prayer each year.

I am positive, as revealed in scriptures (Revelation 16) that Asia holds a key role in bringing the Gospel back to Jerusalem, as well as be one of the strongest forces of spiritual support to Israel as a nation. Those of you who have seen our film 1040 know the importance of Asia and Israel walking together to finish the Great Commission. Now is the time to mobilize the Asian church globally to pray for the peace of God’s chosen nation & it’s key to fulfilling Biblical prophecy.

Please go to the below website to find out more about The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem” and mobilize your church, networks, communities, campuses, etc to be praying together with the Body of Christ worldwide for the peace of Jerusalem.

Tomorrow, I leave to speak in Jerusalem at the All Nations Jerusalem Convocation and premiere our film 1040 to international leaders in Israel. Please pray for my time of impact there to connect with world leaders about Asia’s Role in the End Times and it’s connection to Israel.

Shalom,

JMA

World Council of Churches in Indonesia to strengthen efforts against violence

admin — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:28:07 +0000

Churches working for peace in Indonesia – a country which over the last decades had to cope with repeated outbreaks of ethnic and religious conflicts, the integration of internally displaced people as well as refugees from outside its borders – will receive a solidarity visit of an international ecumenical delegation sent by the World Council of Churches (WCC) from 17 to 24 July.

The delegation members will learn about peace-building projects by Indonesian Christians and share experiences made in their own churches in Australia, USA, Germany, Korea and Sudan.

After a general introduction in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, the delegation will split into two groups in order to visit different regions.

While Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population, has a tradition of tolerance, the regions of Central Sulawesi and the Moluccas have been the scene of Muslim-Christian fighting after 1998.

Meetings on 18-20 July in Poso (Central Sulawesi) and Ambon (Moluccas), including an encounter with Muslim leaders, will be an opportunity to learn about initiatives to tackle radicalism.

From Sulawesi, the first group will travel on to Kupang in the western part of the Timor island, capital of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara. The province has seen a considerable influx of refugees and deportees following the independence referendum in East Timor in 1999.

Meanwhile, the second group will pay a visit to West Papua, where tensions between the traditional Christian majority and Muslim migrants arriving from other Indonesian islands have led to “the emergence of new, exclusivist groups in both religious communities”, according to a recent report by the International Crisis Group.

Over the past years the WCC has also repeatedly expressed its concern over human rights violations against the indigenous people of Papua.

On 24 July, both groups will be back in Jakarta for an evaluation session with the executive board of the Communion of Churches in Indonesia (PGI), who hosts the visit.

The ecumenical delegation is sent to Indonesia as “living letters” to express the solidarity of the WCC fellowship, which comprises 349 churches worldwide. Until 2010, several Living Letters visits take place each year throughout the world in the context of the WCC’s Decade to Overcome Violence in order to prepare for the International Ecumenical Peace Convocation in 2011.

Indonesia, the world’s 4th most populous nation, is also the country with the biggest number of WCC member churches, 27 in total.
