Introduction

The West Bank is land located on the West Bank of the Jordan River and bounded by Israel to the north, west and south. To its east lies Jordan. The region has been occupied by Israel since the 1967 six-day war when Israel took over the land. Palestinians lived in the West Bank while Israeli’s settled in the eastern regions. With the increasing flow of Jewish immigrants coming to Israel, the government announced in 2021 that they were preparing to establish an additional 1300 settlements in the disputed area. Anger, hostility and violence have engulfed the lives of the Israelis and Palestinians living in the West Bank for over five decades. The situation remains unresolved resulting in ongoing tensions. This is hard for both parties.

Ministry Obstacles

Most Israeli Jews living in the West Bank are cultural Jews or atheists who reject outreach from Christians. They reject the need for spiritual help.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that the Jewish and Arab of the West Bank will hear God’s voice, repent and be willing to find final peace in the Lord.
Pray for a Jesus-centered spiritual revival in the West Bank that will draw both sides to the King of kings.
