Caption transcript for “FIRM” with Wayne Hilsden

• 00:04 On our program today some good news out of Jerusalem
• 00:06 with pastor Wayne Hilsden of King of Kings.
• 00:27 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel
• 00:31 is that they might be saved.
• 00:34 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek
• 00:37 for the same LORD over all is rich unto all that call upon him
• 00:52 Shalom and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss
• 00:54 And I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 00:56 And we want to welcome you to a special edition that we have with our good friend.
• 01:00 Wayne Hilsden, pastor of King of Kings church in Jerusalem
• 01:04 and now the president of F.I.R.M. the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries.
• 01:08 We've been looking forward to this.
• 01:10 Absolutely.
• 01:11 Myles and I have the privilege of serving on this board and many others.
• 01:15 Because they recognize that not are we supposed to support Israel itself
• 01:20 but the believers in the Land.
• 01:22 And this is exactly what it does.
• 01:24 In Daniel 11:32 it says that those that know their God shall stand firm and take action.
• 01:30 Let's go now and hear more
• 01:32 about what exactly F.I.R.M. is all about.
• 01:37 Wayne, thank you for being here.
• 01:39 It's awesome to be here with you.
• 01:41 You know we looked forward to this for a season now
• 01:43 because there's something new happening in the earth.
• 01:46 There's been a resurgence of understanding of what Israel is, who the Jewish people are
• 01:51 among the Church and even in the world today.
• 01:54 It's so much attention there.
• 01:56 But you've got a long story of how someone gets from Canada to Jerusalem.
• 02:00 Could you give us a little bit of background?
• 02:02 Well my wife and I moved to Israel in 1983.
• 02:05 We had two boys at the time...very young.
• 02:08 And we had an invitation out of the blue.
• 02:10 We had never been to Israel before.
• 02:12 And we were in a pastor's home
• 02:14 and he was sharing how he felt called to co to Israel
• 02:17 and had shared that vision
• 02:19 actually with some government officials in Israel.
• 02:21 And they came up with this idea, why don't you start a congregation in Jerusalem?
• 02:26 Amazing.
• 02:27 And he said, well I'll pray about that.
• 02:29 And he's sharing this story at their dining room table.
• 02:33 And he said, when it's time to start this congregation in Jerusalem
• 02:37 would you and Ann come and help us do that?
• 02:39 I found out later he didn't even pray about that.
• 02:42 But the LORD used that to get us curious.
• 02:45 And we began to pray, read everything we could on Israel and Jewish history.
• 02:50 And then we finally did a "Spy out the Land" tour.
• 02:53 And we wanted confirmation
• 02:56 and the LORD really gave that confirmation.
• 02:59 And so we began to prepare to go and we moved and helped them plant a little congregation
• 03:04 which is really just a Bible study in a small apartment in downtown Jerusalem.
• 03:08 And that was over 30 years ago now.
• 03:10 Thirty-two
• 03:11 Thirty-two years and started with a few people.
• 03:14 We had 17 people.
• 03:15 That included our two families.
• 03:18 And we counted I think a couple of dogs and cats.
• 03:20 OK, there you go.
• 03:21 And we had some students from the Hebrew University.
• 03:24 So now King of Kings where you pastor is kind of the hub of the
• 03:29 international movement through Jerusalem and through Israel.
• 03:32 I think everyone who comes to Israel goes through there
• 03:36 or preaches there or sees what you're doing there.
• 03:38 It's a centerpiece of what God is doing.
• 03:41 And from there you've planted other works, right?
• 03:43 Yeah, out of King of Kings we've planted 3 other congregations.
• 03:46 Those have been Hebrew speaking.
• 03:48 So while people know us for our international English speaking gatherings on Sunday,
• 03:53 behind the scenes we are very involved on the local level;
• 03:56 planted a Bible College as well,
• 03:58 which is now Israel College of the Bible.
• 04:00 And we don't run that, we've just been able to just watch that grow and develop
• 04:04 and be blessed that we had a chance to play a small part at the beginning of that.
• 04:09 I thought that India was the most complex place on earth
• 04:13 until I got to Jerusalem.
• 04:14 And you realize that there are so many forces.
• 04:17 I think about the Psalmist saying that Israel is compact together.
• 04:20 More things happen in a day than anywhere on the earth.
• 04:23 You have to be a statesman, a businessman, a politician
• 04:26 a preacher, a pastor, a counselor.
• 04:28 It takes a lot of hats that you need to wear to do this.
• 04:31 You've got great relationship with the government, don't you?
• 04:34 We do, I think that they recognize that because we're a bit of a hub
• 04:38 and people come from all over the world that that's good for Israel.
• 04:42 I mean the Christians are coming seeing it with their own eyes
• 04:45 going back as ambassadors for Israel.
• 04:48 And so we play a part in that.
• 04:50 And there's also a connection
• 04:52 with the local Arab fellowships.
• 04:53 I think there's a good relationship
• 04:54 with the Arab Christians too.
• 04:56 Yeah, really.
• 04:57 In fact one of our 3 main things
• 05:00 that we believe God called us to do
• 05:01 is to be a catalyst for unity
• 05:03 and cooperation in the body.
• 05:05 So we've really made it our business over all these years
• 05:07 to just befriend everybody that's doing good work for the kingdom.
• 05:12 And trying to be kingdom minded in what we do.
• 05:14 For instance...
• 05:16 We have 10 congregations now using our various facilities.
• 05:20 And we just keep adding new congregations,
• 05:22 different language groups.
• 05:24 And we're hoping for an Arabic congregation to be one of the next ones.
• 05:28 That would be wonderful.
• 05:30 I know that's been Katharine and mine...
• 05:31 That's our heartbeat.
• 05:32 I call it healing the family feud.
• 05:34 That the cousins would get back together.
• 05:37 And we see it happening
• 05:38 Here and there, now and then there is growth
• 05:40 between the Messianic Jews and the Arab Christians
• 05:42 because we are in unity.
• 05:44 We just have to learn how to live that out.
• 05:46 What about the growth you've seen
• 05:48 in the body of Messiah
• 05:49 in the many years you've been there.
• 05:51 How has it changed?
• 05:52 Well back in those years in 1983
• 05:54 there were about 500 Jewish believers
• 05:57 that we were aware of in the whole country.
• 05:59 That's getting close to 20,000 now.
• 06:01 So that's a big difference.
• 06:03 In Jerusalem there were about 3 congregations.
• 06:05 Today I think there's about 20.
• 06:07 Back then, no one had a 24/7 prayer house.
• 06:11 And today, I think it's close to 7 in Jerusalem alone,
• 06:15 in one city of just over 800,000 people.
• 06:17 So I think that that's an indication
• 06:20 that God's about to do something really big.
• 06:22 He raises up the intercessors and the prophetic voices
• 06:26 And he's looking for people that
• 06:28 would cooperate with his purposes.
• 06:30 And prayer is work, it's hard,
• 06:33 it can be a challenge.
• 06:34 But people are excited about seeking the face of God
• 06:39 and believing that he's about to fulfill all of his promises that he's given.
• 06:43 That's amazing.
• 06:45 I don't think our people, necessarily our viewers are aware of the reality
• 06:48 that there is prayer going up,
• 06:50 there are "watchmen on the walls" taking that literally.
• 06:52 and praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
• 06:54 We say that at the end of every program.
• 06:56 Doing that day and night in Jerusalem.
• 06:58 You said 7 prayer houses now are doing that all the time.
• 07:01 That's phenomenal.
• 07:02 The theme for almost every prayer house is Isaiah 62,
• 07:05 "I've set watchmen on your walls O Jerusalem..."
• 07:08 "and give him no rest."
• 07:10 That's where the 24/7 comes in.
• 07:13 Just continually knock on the doors of heaven
• 07:16 until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
• 07:20 WOW...we're going to take a break
• 07:22 and we'll be back in a moment.
• 07:25 Your financial contributions to Zola Levitt Ministries
• 07:28 enable us to bring you our weekly television series,
• 07:31 our monthly newsletter,
• 07:32 and our website.
• 07:34 But you may not know
• 07:35 your gifts of funds also support other ministries
• 07:38 that share the Gospel here and in Israel
• 07:40 through our...
• 07:42 "To the Jew First Fund."
• 07:43 Eitan Shiskoff "Our Man in Haifa"
• 07:45 and "The Good News Fund"
• 07:47 We welcome your donations to Zola Levitt Ministries
• 07:51 as we serve together until our Messiah returns.
• 07:55 Hi, you know a good question
• 07:57 to ask yourself might be
• 07:58 Where else can you find
• 07:59 solid Bible teaching
• 08:01 regarding prophecy for these last days?
• 08:03 Well Zola Levitt Ministries
• 08:05 has been doing exactly that
• 08:06 for more than 35 years
• 08:08 and will continue with your support.
• 08:11 Your gifts of financial support
• 08:13 is what enables us to do this.
• 08:15 We want to remind you
• 08:16 there's 3 ways...
• 08:17 On-line, through the mail
• 08:19 or just give us a phone call.
• 08:21 And, thank you.
• 08:25 We're back with Pastor Wayne Hilsden
• 08:28 from King of Kings in Jerusalem.
• 08:30 Wayne, you've talked a little bit about
• 08:32 the demographic changes, the growth in the body.
• 08:34 What about some of the transformational aspects of what you do at The Pavilion?
• 08:39 I know there's been real growth on the inside of hearts as well.
• 08:42 Well, it's interesting.
• 08:44 We got into a movie theatre;
• 08:46 transformed it into a sanctuary and worship center.
• 08:49 And we didn't realize that we would go beyond that.
• 08:53 That was where our faith level was.
• 08:55 And then the LORD led us to buy the top floor of the same building, 17 floors up.
• 09:01 And we built the Jerusalem Prayer Tower.
• 09:03 So that's been an amazing development in our building.
• 09:06 And a cool thing that's happened in the last few years,
• 09:10 there were two porn shops just outside the entrance
• 09:13 to our main congregational center.
• 09:16 Downtown
• 09:17 Right
• 09:18 In the Holy City of all places.
• 09:20 And we prayed for many years that they would go.
• 09:23 And finally we woke up,
• 09:26 some things don't go out accept through prayer and fasting.
• 09:29 So we began to fast.
• 09:30 And within two weeks one of the owners that we had never met
• 09:33 and actually we had heard that he was a part of the mafia
• 09:35 and we were afraid to meet him.
• 09:37 Suddenly walks up to us in the middle of a conference
• 09:40 and asks one of our friends, are you part of this community?
• 09:44 He said, yes.
• 09:45 He said, would you like to buy my shop?
• 09:47 And it happened to be that shop that we had been praying about.
• 09:50 And by the end of that day we had a verbal agreement.
• 09:53 And then within a few days we had a contract signed, sealed and delivered.
• 09:57 And then the second shop...
• 09:58 finally got them out.
• 10:00 And that one we have turned into our family counseling center.
• 10:03 Katherine Snyder did her doctorate in family counseling at Fuller Seminary.
• 10:07 Doing an awesome job.
• 10:09 We even have courses now especially for leaders
• 10:11 to deal with people with porn addiction and so on.
• 10:14 So what a redemption we've seen in that building.
• 10:17 And that's just the start.
• 10:18 There's many other things happening.
• 10:20 We've ended up opening a cafe
• 10:22 and some other businesses
• 10:23 that are related to that.
• 10:25 So it's really a full orbed community
• 10:27 and really see that we're living in unique times.
• 10:30 When we come back I want to talk about
• 10:32 this new initiative coming out of Jerusalem.
• 10:34 So let's celebrate the transformation
• 10:36 that we're seeing in Jerusalem and around the world
• 10:38 as we go to Paul Wilbur at King of Kings in Jerusalem.

• 13:51 Katharine - Israel is a Land full of promises.
• 13:55 You'll never be the same
• 13:56 so we invite you to come.
• 13:58 It's a trip of a lifetime.
• 14:00 We'd love you to join us.
• 15:20 I can really see how God's hand has been on you and your family
• 15:25 to bring you into this amazing placement and ministry.
• 15:29 And now there's a new door opening
• 15:33 and I'm very excited about it as a Jewish believer.
• 15:36 Please tell our viewers about F.I.R.M.
• 15:39 the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries.
• 15:42 I've had a heart for this for three years hoping that somebody else would pick up this vision.
• 15:47 And the vision really is to develop a global family
• 15:52 of ministries that have a heart for Israel,
• 15:55 have a heart for the Jewish community around the world
• 15:57 where we come to know each other.
• 16:00 We see some synergy happen.
• 16:03 Not to develop a covering or an umbrella of all these ministries
• 16:07 and they all come under F.I.R.M.
• 16:09 But really undergirds.
• 16:10 It's just the opposite.
• 16:12 We come under to give a wider platform for these excellent ministries
• 16:15 that are doing their work that most of the world has never heard of.
• 16:18 Actually, some of the best ministries, are unheard of.
• 16:22 They're in little tiny corners in Israel
• 16:25 or somewhere else in the world.
• 16:26 But we know who they are.
• 16:28 And we're doing our research.
• 16:29 And we're developing those relationships.
• 16:31 It really is about relationships.
• 16:33 So, Fellowship of Israel "Related" Ministries.
• 16:36 Right, this is not an anonymous kind of
• 16:42 sending a check somewhere
• 16:44 or supporting something that sounds like a good idea.
• 16:47 These are groups of people, individuals
• 16:49 that you have vetted
• 16:51 that we as F.I.R.M. that your understanding
• 16:53 that they're doing the work of sharing the Gospel
• 16:55 and being a blessing to the social and cultural life in Israel.
• 16:59 Exactly.
• 17:03 On our journey we began bringing leaders to Israel with the idea of Genesis 12:1-3
• 17:10 It's going to be a blessing for the Christian Church
• 17:12 and along the way God spoke to us
• 17:14 you need to show them the ancient rocks but have them meet the living stones.
• 17:19 You're speaking about the living stones in Israel.
• 17:21 Tell us about that.
• 17:22 Well we want to make sure
• 17:24 when we have people come to Israel;
• 17:26 and we have millions now that come every year,
• 17:28 and those who are Christians
• 17:30 who have a heart for the nation
• 17:31 we want them to actually meet the people,
• 17:34 the believers in the land.
• 17:36 And to be able to pray with them.
• 17:39 And sometimes there will be partnerships
• 17:40 that develop in a natural kind of way.
• 17:42 Their hearts connect.
• 17:44 And we want to see that happen.
• 17:46 But to do that an initiative has to be intentional.
• 17:50 And we're going to be creating
• 17:52 these gatherings where people meet each other.
• 17:55 I call it sometimes a matchmaking organization.
• 17:58 So we'll find out about a church
• 18:01 that really has a heart for helping the poor.
• 18:03 So we'll point them to a ministry
• 18:05 that's engaged in helping the poor.
• 18:07 Others want to plant congregations, get behind that.
• 18:10 So we'll point them to people doing that.
• 18:12 Others want to see leaders trained up.
• 18:14 So we'll point them to various Bible colleges and other educational
• 18:18 opportunities that they have.
• 18:20 WOW, so this represents a major shift from Genesis 12:1-3 which is still in place,
• 18:25 "I will bless those who bless the sons of Abraham"
• 18:27 "And curse those who curse"
• 18:29 But it also represents a new dimension of Galatians 6:10
• 18:33 that we're to do good to all men
• 18:36 especially those of the household of faith.
• 18:38 Exactly.
• 18:39 So this hasn't happened before
• 18:42 in this level where a global initiative is in place to
• 18:46 support the body of Messiah, the preaching of the Gospel
• 18:51 and the Jewish believers who are often marginalized in Israel.
• 18:54 Yeah, we're doing new stuff, breaking new ground.
• 18:58 And anything you start has its challenges.
• 19:01 But we're seeing amazing favor.
• 19:04 If people go to our social media sites
• 19:06 like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
• 19:08 you'll see this incredible engagement.
• 19:10 So we've realized we actually touched something...
• 19:14 There's a need out there.
• 19:16 People want to engage with Israel
• 19:18 and we're updating stuff three, four times a day.
• 19:21 And so prayer points are being given
• 19:23 And we go live streaming with a prayer meeting every month
• 19:27 so people can engage with us in prayer.
• 19:30 And they're seeing local believers and leaders in the land
• 19:33 bringing those prayer requests, those praise reports
• 19:36 and so it's not just way over on the other side of the world.
• 19:40 They can be part and parcel of what's happening.
• 19:43 It's interesting that when we came on board at Zola Levitt
• 19:45 the first series that we were assigned to do was already in place
• 19:50 was the story of Ruth
• 19:52 which of course, Katharine and myself, Jew and Gentile together
• 19:55 looking for Boaz the Kinsman Redeemer.
• 19:57 And then as soon as we were done with that
• 19:59 we wanted to do "Acts Then and Now, the Story Continues"
• 20:01 because it was our heart to highlight these amazing ministries in Israel
• 20:05 that are still doing the work that goes back
• 20:07 to the beginning of the Church; beginning of the congregation of faith.
• 20:10 And so now you are at the hub of helping the church around the world
• 20:15 to support viable life-giving works in Israel.
• 20:20 Has there been a lot of resistance to what you are doing?
• 20:22 There's a bit of resistance
• 20:23 in the fact that we're openly
• 20:25 identifying with and supporting Messianic Jewish believers.
• 20:29 So there are lots of Christians who love Israel
• 20:33 and their way of loving Israel is
• 20:35 to support the government of Israel and its policies
• 20:38 or help with humanitarian aide.
• 20:40 And these are all good things.
• 20:43 But we're adding that extra dimension...
• 20:45 Hey, are you connecting with your brothers and sisters?
• 20:49 These are the people that are actually working on your behalf
• 20:53 representing you for the Kingdom.
• 20:56 And most people don't know anything about these groups.
• 20:59 It's quite amazing isn't it?
• 21:00 That there's such in a sense a disconnect
• 21:03 in that even many leaders
• 21:04 don't understand the difficulty
• 21:07 that the believers in the land face.
• 21:09 And for us, we're going back and forth all the time.
• 21:11 So we have it easy.
• 21:13 But for our brothers and sisters in the land
• 21:15 it's a challenge to be a part of Israeli society
• 21:18 and yet be true to the One who called them.
• 21:22 Another aspect of what we do is it's really hard for a ministry to blow their own trumpet.
• 21:27 So let another man praise you.
• 21:29 So we're that other man to praising what God's doing
• 21:32 through a particular individual or a ministry
• 21:35 and making sure that they're doing good things with good stewardship, good governance
• 21:40 and that way we can confidently say there's a ministry to invest in.
• 21:44 Well I don't want to overly sing your praises to your face
• 21:47 But I have to say and I'm probably going to do it now as well.
• 21:49 Every time you tell this story to a Jewish believer they cry
• 21:54 because there's something that
• 21:55 touches us very, very deeply
• 21:57 to know that there are evangelical Christians, believers who are Gentile
• 22:02 and recognize that we're past the time when we can ignore the Jewish part of the body.
• 22:07 And the body of Christ worldwide needs to realize that we're also family.
• 22:12 And so I want to thank you for that.
• 22:14 Give us some idea of the board.
• 22:17 And I want you to tell us also about The 1% Challenge
• 22:19 in all it's aspects.
• 22:20 Okay...
• 22:21 Well we've got an amazing board,
• 22:23 partly because you and Katharine are on the board.
• 22:24 Thank you.
• 22:26 And we have a wonderful man named Pastor Jack Hayford.
• 22:30 And three years ago he was the first one I shared this vision with.
• 22:33 And he said, Wayne I so believe this is God
• 22:36 that I'll do anything you ask me to do.
• 22:38 And I've tested him and he's helped in significant ways.
• 22:41 But we have incredible endorsements
• 22:43 from Anne Graham Lotz
• 22:44 the daughter of Billy Graham.
• 22:46 Robert Morris, Pastor at Gateway Church.
• 22:48 We've got people like Jonathan Bernis, Jewish Voice
• 22:53 And we've got Zola Levitt Ministries
• 22:55 that are endorsing our work.
• 22:58 And an incredible variety of board members from all over the world.
• 23:01 So we want people from every continent to be engaged with F.I.R.M.
• 23:05 That's very important.
• 23:06 It's not an American initiative.
• 23:07 Tell us about some of the nations that are already involved.
• 23:09 Yeah, well Africa...
• 23:11 just came back from Kampala Uganda,
• 23:13 preached in a 25,000 member Church.
• 23:16 They have an incredible heart for Israel.
• 23:18 And they've been taking up offerings for ministries in Israel
• 23:22 exceeding $200,000 now over the past several years.
• 23:26 And the average wage in Kampala is less than $1,000 a year.
• 23:30 So just imagine the sacrifice that they're making.
• 23:33 And I found in Africa there's a love for Israel that I haven't seen anywhere else in the world.
• 23:38 And there's not that anti-Semitism
• 23:40 that we see arising in Europe and much of the west.
• 23:42 You find that in Asia as well.
• 23:44 They don't have a history of anti-Semitism
• 23:46 and they're starting to engage with Israel
• 23:49 and the body of believers in the land.
• 23:51 So I'll be in Singapore soon
• 23:54 and I'll be traveling all over the world really
• 23:57 to raise the banner for the body of believers in the land of Israel.
• 24:02 This is so wonderful.
• 24:03 Give us a quick understanding of what
• 24:06 The 1% Challenge is,
• 24:07 beginning with prayer.
• 24:08 Well, we've designed something
• 24:10 that I think is tangible
• 24:12 and people can grasp it easily.
• 24:14 We're encouraging people to pray 1% of their day
• 24:16 14 minutes for Israel and the salvation of Israel.
• 24:20 We're encouraging them to spend 1% of their year
• 24:23 volunteering in some way
• 24:26 whether it's your ministry or another.
• 24:27 Maybe you need a graphic artist to do a new logo for you and
• 24:30 they can devote a certain number of hours
• 24:33 every week or every month.
• 24:35 Or come and just say hey, I've got 3 1/2 days, what can I do for you?
• 24:40 And you put them to work.
• 24:42 And so that's awesome.
• 24:43 And also there are congregations now
• 24:45 and they've gotten inspiration
• 24:47 especially from Robert Morris at Gateway Church
• 24:49 to give 1% of their income to ministries related to Israel.
• 24:53 That's what Gateway's been doing for years.
• 24:55 And many congregations are picking that up.
• 24:57 And we're encouraging, challenging other
• 25:00 pastors and leaders to consider that.
• 25:02 And it's happening.
• 25:04 And I know because our home place in California,
• 25:07 our pastor there writes the first check every month to ministries in Israel
• 25:11 because we believe the Gospel is to the Jew first and also to the nations.
• 25:15 And we believe there's a blessing in it.
• 25:17 Wayne, this is a historic moment that we're in
• 25:20 and I just can't thank you enough.
• 25:22 Thank you.
• 25:39 That was a great interview with Wayne and Myles.
• 25:42 I love what God is doing in these days.
• 25:44 You know, this is what we're all about - Good News
• 25:48 And moving forward in the kingdom minded endeavors.
• 25:52 Yes, it's really a dream come true for Jewish believers
• 25:55 to know that the Christian Church around the world
• 25:58 is being called up, not just to stand with national Israel,
• 26:01 which is important and we support that always,
• 26:04 but also to recognize these laborers in the land,
• 26:07 the body of Messiah in the land
• 26:09 that are preaching the Good News
• 26:11 and doing wonderful and cultural social work in Israel as well.
• 26:15 I believe it's part of Ezekiel 37,
• 26:17 that pouring that fresh water.
• 26:19 This part of letting the Messianics in the land
• 26:23 be saturated with support,with life.
• 26:25 And ministries like ourselves
• 26:27 that stand with believing Jewish people
• 26:31 and don't despise them for receiving the Messiah especially but affirm that.
• 26:38 Yeah, that's really wonderful
• 26:39 and Wayne's the right person for the job.
• 26:40 It's really a moment in time
• 26:42 where we're seeing a shift happening
• 26:44 in the entire body worldwide.
• 26:45 It's very exciting.
• 26:46 And what's coming up is an encounter in Jerusalem.
• 26:49 And in 2016 be looking for a conference
• 26:52 that will be geared towards young people especially
• 26:55 so that young people and their parents can come and see the land
• 26:59 and also meet the people, meet the living stones.
• 27:02 See the ancient rocks
• 27:03 and meet the living stones as well.
• 27:05 It's a very exciting time to be doing this.
• 27:08 It's so wonderful to know that the young people will get an opportunity...
• 27:11 Just like the Jewish people are supported to come back and see the land.
• 27:16 We are wanting the young people to have that same experience.
• 27:20 Yes, exactly.
• 27:22 And so in this exciting time we're grateful to be with you
• 27:25 we're grateful to bring these programs to you.
• 27:27 And we always want to remind you
• 27:29 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim
• 27:31 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
