Anniversary prayer tour to Israel was in God’s timing

On the evening of May 29 a small group of South African Christians set out on a 10-day prayer tour to Israel that felt like a date with destiny.

The departure time for their mission to pray for SA and Israel in the Holy Land coincided with the SA General Election and was just days after a powerful time of prophetic prayer for healing of relations between SA and Israel led by Ugandan preacher and intercessor James Kawalya.

The prayer trip to Israel had been booked long before the election day was announced or Kawalya’s visit was known to the group. Yet SA’s crticial time of transition and Kawayla’s prophetic prayer of reconciliation had a strong influence on their prayers in Israel.

Leader of the prayer tour group Tshego Motaung said the trip had been planned to celebrate the fourth anniversary of their prayer ministry for Israel which they had launched on June 7 2020 in response to a call by the partiarch of the Ethiopian Church in 2010 for people all over the world to pray for the peace of Jerusalem every year on June 7 to commemorate the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967.

“Ever since then we have held weekly virtual prayer meetings which gave birth to the desire to connect with the land of the Bible,” she said.

Tshego said: “The Lord made a way that this year we celebrated the anniversary of our prayers at the same time that Israel celebrated Jerusalem Day.

“On Wednesday [June 5], Yom Yerushalayim — Jerusalem Day — we took part in the celebrations that were taking place in the city. Words cannot explain the experience. We saw how families, the young and old, babies and elderly people we part of the celebrations that went on late into the night.

“There were crowds all over the city; everywhere there was rejoicing.”

She said that on the prayer group’s anniversary on June 7 they were blessed to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem with people from the nations in Jerusalem”.

“They also prayed for us and our nation and encouraged us to keep standing,” she said.

Tshego commended members of their travel group for not pulling out of the trip despite security concerns because of the war in Israel.
