What a beautiful promise. And it is a promise I am reminded of especially
at this time of year, when we at The Fellowship take prayer requests from
our faithful partners to bring before God at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
It is one of our most important traditions, and one we feel privileged to continue.

It is difficult to describe the feelings of awe and reverence that surround a person
praying at the Western Wall, the site where the two Holy Temples once stood and
the holiest site in all Judaism. Christians, too, tell me how overwhelmed they are to
realize that the Wall existed at the time of Jesus, and that Jesus came there to teach
many times.

Praying for you at the Wall, asking God to bless you and meet your needs, is one way
of returning the blessing of your prayers and support for God’s people. And what a joy
it is for us to hear from partners like you, as we do every year, that our prayers on your
behalf have been answered!
