This past weekend Dave and I had the awesome privilege to tour the European Union Parliament building in Brussels, Belgium. Several people from various European countries gathered for a prayer summit hosted by the European Coalition for Israel (ECI). ECI's mandate is to be a "voice" to the EU Parliament on behalf of Israel. They conduct research and provide detailed information so that the members of parliament can make informed decisions that promote peace and stability in the Middle East. We have joined the "prayer shield" that provides prayer coverage for each of the 736 members of the European Union parliament. Each week Dave and I pray for the two members assigned to us. We are praying blessing over them and their families and that God will give them the courage and resolve to make wise, just decisions in support of Israel. As Poland assumes the leadership of the EU in July of this year, it is a critical time for us to pray that her leaders will continue to be friendly toward Israel. Every nation must enter the "valley of decision" (Joel 3) and determine whether they will stand with Israel. It is the ultimate question upon which each nation will be judged. Let us pray that Poland, America, Canada, and all nations will value God's standard and humbly line up with His plan. Only then will true peace be established.
