Hi everybody. It's Chris Byber, the director of the National House of Prayer, coming to you today from Jerusalem. In fact, we're right outside the Knesset. We have been taking part of the Jerusalem prayer breakfast today. This week, we're in Israel working on a couple of programs. But I want to show you something here on my jacket. You see that 600? That's commemorating, that's remembering 600 days of captivity. You know, when we look at Isaiah 61, the spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us because he's anointed us to preach good news. This particular verse is more relevant than ever ever because it talks about comforting those who mourn, those who grieve in Zion and also

setting setting captives free. It's very very important that we are praying for Israel in this time. They are surrounded. They have no friends. And it's important that we as believers are walking with our Jewish friends, Jewish community. They didn't ask for this war and they remember 600 days, 58 captives still not returned. I want you to just remember that. I'm Chris Byber, the director of the National House of Prayer, and we'll see you next time. Bye for now. [Music]
