The Moody Church
Israel & the Middle East:
A Night of Prayer, Education, and Worship
Chicago Prayer Event
What in the world is happening in Israel and the Middle East? If you have these questions, you are not alone. What should followers of Jesus know about the conflict, and what does the Bible have to say about Israel, her neighbors, and Jewish people? Join us in downtown Chicago on Thursday, November 30, for a night of prayer, education, and worship hosted by Chosen People Ministries, Life in Messiah, and The Moody Church. We invite you to join this free, city-wide Christian event to understand better how God’s word frames the events of the past two months and how we, as Christians, can pray and act. Since Abraham, King David, and Jesus lived and ministered in the land of Israel, it should also be important to us.
