Dear Pastor,

We trust this letter finds you well and thriving in the grace of our Lord.

Our nation faces many consequential challenges that should keep us in prayer and propel us to action. One issue unfolding before us is the unraveling of U.S. support for Israel. We believe uncompromising support for Israel is critical at this moment in history and therefore we need to pray, and we need to act. We want to invite you to join us in a nationwide initiative to pray for and stand with Israel on May 19^th.

It is abundantly clear that, given the challenges and complexities facing Israel—both politically and spiritually—it is imperative that we, as leaders within the body of Christ, visibly demonstrate our unwavering support for Israel anchored in the word of God. Our unified prayer and visible declaration of support for Israel are powerful expressions that significantly affect the relationship between the United States and Israel.

With this goal in mind, we are calling on Bible-believing churches nationwide to pray for and stand with Israel collectively on Sunday, May 19^th, by dedicating a portion of their Sunday services to pray for Israel’s peace, prosperity, and protection.

The significance of this endeavor cannot be overstated. There is an urgent need for the body of Christ to visibly show their support for the people of Israel. By uniting in prayer for Israel, we fulfill a biblical mandate to bless and pray for the nation and bring much-needed visibility to our commitment to stand with the Jewish nation of Israel. Additionally, our collective voice is a powerful testament to our shared belief in the importance of standing alongside the Jewish people.

We ask you to commit to two things:

1. Adding your church to the pledge at prayandstand.com, committing to make the proclamation during your service on Sunday, May 19^th.
2. Personally invite three other churches or pastors to make the same commitment as we aim to see 20,000 churches collectively make this proclamation on Sunday, May 19th.

God said He would bless those who bless Israel. Our nation needs the blessing of God; as we pray for and stand with Israel, may God’s blessing be seen once again upon America. Thank you for considering this invitation, and may God bless you abundantly as we work together to stand with Israel.
