Jesus House of Prayer ~ 2nd day

Jericho
By Gloria Gault Geary
The first woman arrived before 8:00 am. I greeted her and we exchanged pleasantries even though neither of us understood the other. Before long there were close to fifty women and children. A few of the women were raised Christian but the majority of them are Muslim and have come to know Jesus. They all still dress in the Muslim dress. They are kind and quiet and unassuming.

Those from the ministry arrived too. There were three single women, two couples and a college age son of one of the couples. I took many pictures but was asked not to post the pictures on the site for safety reasons.

This ministry started about ten years ago when Terry McIntosh and his family moved to Jericho from the U.S. They moved into the house and begin inviting neighbors over to learn about Jesus.
Jericho is unique in the West Bank area. There are approximately 100 families who know Jesus here. In Hebron, there are none and in Gaza only about 3 families.

The government and local folks know about the Jesus House of Prayer and seem to be ok about their ministry. The Word of God is being preached regularly.

I am in awe of the women who come each week and of those who come to minister. They are publicly acknowledging their faith in a location where this can be dangerous..

Prayer needs:
Please pray for God to open the ears of those who attend Bible study and to give them revelation of God’s word. Please pray for the men of Jericho. Often the women will receive Christ, yet the men will not.
Pray for God to open their hearts and pour in His love.

Pray for the children. What joy to watch my boys play and be a part of the children’s program. These children are the future leaders of Christianity here…pray for God to work through them in a mighty way.
