7,000万基督徒今日同心为耶路撒冷和平祷告
第24届「为耶路撒冷和平祷告日」10月4日在耶路撒冷举行。主办方「鹰之翼」（Eagles' Wings）表示，来自175个国家的约7,000万基督徒将同心为以色列与耶路撒冷的和平祷告，为历年规模最大的一次；500多位来自50国的基督教领袖在大卫塔博物馆现场参加，活动向全球直播。
尼日利亚、肯尼亚、多哥等国派出官方代表团，巴西众教会派出的175位拉美领袖代表该地区5,100万基督徒出席。主办方创办人罗伯特·斯登斯主教表示：「这不只是一场祷告会，而是一个全球宣告：以色列并不孤单。」
该活动源于圣经「为耶路撒冷求平安」的呼召，今年已是第24届，是全球规模最大的年度为以色列祷告活动。
70 Million Christians Unite in Prayer for Jerusalem
The 24th Annual Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem was held on Oct. 4 in Jerusalem. Organizer Eagles' Wings says more than 70 million Christians from 175 nations are uniting to pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem - the largest such gathering in history - with over 500 senior Christian leaders from 50 countries attending at the Tower of David Museum and the event broadcast live worldwide.
Official delegations came from Nigeria, Kenya and Togo, and a Latin American delegation of 175 leaders representing 51 million Christians across the region also attended. "This is far more than a prayer event. It is a global declaration that Israel is not alone," said Eagles' Wings founder Bishop Robert Stearns.
Now in its 24th year, the event is rooted in the biblical call to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" and has become the largest annual prayer initiative dedicated to Israel.
