Linga-Jerusalem

Two weeks after a fire almost destroyed the Alliance Church in Jerusalem, Pastor Jack Sara issues this letter to all those who supported the church with prayer and encouragement:

Dear brothers and sisters,

With a heart full of gratitude we want to express our appreciation and thanks to all of those who stood with us, prayed with us and encouraged us after the attack on our church this week.

Around 150 people from all backgrounds came together to pray, there was Palestinians, Jewish believers in Jesus and many Christians from around the nations who reside in the country, coming together in one accord to praise, pray, intercede and beseech the Lord Jesus to pour his mercy over Jerusalem and our country.

The meeting began with welcome and introduction by pastor Roger Elbel, who praised the Lord for his protection over the Jerusalem Alliance Church Ministry Center. Pastor Roger shared about the arson and the details of it, he said "we don't seriously care what the officials are saying at the moment, we have many reasons to believe it was an arson, caused by orthodox Jewish elements." But more than that, pastor Roger was so thankful to the Lord that we believe whatever Satan have intended for harm it will be turned for good.

Then we turned to worship with pastor Jack Sara, beginning by giving thanks to the Lord and praise to his name, who is able to protect and bless and unite his church for the cause of expanding his Kingdom on earth.
Sometime of sharing and testimonies from the audience gave an enormous encouragement to all of us, specially the stories of how similar incidents have happened to churches or believing families and how the Lord came through and brought about glory to his name in all of that.

During the rest of the time, we lifted up prayers for protection over our church and other churches, prayed for those who persecuted us, may the Lord bless them and save them and may the Lord with his Spirit convicts their hearts and bring them to the saving knowledge of Jesus the ONLY SAVIOR.

Again, please accept our appreciation for all of you in the country and around the world, who prayed, called, came and visited us.

In Him,

Jack Sara

Senior Pastor
The Jerusalem Alliance Church
