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

The epic 1040 Spring Tour that started in April concluded last Saturday with an incredible screening at the Sa-Rang Community Church in Anaheim, CA, one of the largest Korean congregations in America. Over 600 people- students, young adults, parents, grandparents- joined 1040 and Jaeson Ma for a night of film, spirit-filled worship, and fervent prayers. Holy Spirit was present in the room- an incredible revival broke out as hundreds joined in prayers for Asia and for the hearts and minds of this generation. Many committed themselves to working and serving in the mission field of Asia. It was a perfect summation of the entire Spring Tour. We will be back this summer with a domestic tour, followed by an international tour of Asia in August. After that, stay tuned for our all-out fall college tour in September and October!!!

Now, some photos and a video from the 1040 tour:
