In October 4, 2009 several million Christians from 175 nations of the world joined the 8th annual Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem. According to the Eagles’ Wings Ministries data there were also underground Christian churches in seven primarily Muslim countries and in China.

Nearly 2000 people from Asia, Africa, Latin America, USA, Canada and Europe, mostly leaders of Christian, Jewish, and Arab communities gathered for the prayer event in Jerusalem. Many prominent guests attended the event, including several Israeli statesmen, as well as the Executive Director of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem Malcolm Heading, the world renowned evangelist Morris Cerullo and many others. Songs of praise and dances for the glory of the God of Israel were intertwined with speeches and prayers of the special guests.
“It is a new day in the Christian Church,” said Stearns. “There are millions of Christians declaring that they will pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We are not spectators, we are not bystanders, and we will not be silent…The sin of silence (during the Holocaust) will not be repeated… Shalom to Israel is Shalom for the world!” Dr. Stearns received a standing ovation and shouts of support by the audience at these comments. 

Representing the government of Israel, Uzi Landau, Minister of Infrastructure addressed the Christians gathered in Jerusalem and watching around the world: “Thank you for the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, it is important…we need more Watchmen on the Walls of Zion.”

Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, chief Rabbi of Efrat also spoke, saying, “Why do I believe God is with us?  I have witnessed a new Christianity - one that observes the Covenant between God and Israel - between God and the Jewish people. It is a Christianity that proudly says to us that „you are the root and we are the branch‟...You stand with us, and for this we are eternally grateful.”
In addition to global prayer rallies and church services, the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem inspired more than 1,000 callers from Canada, Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands, Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria, Australia, and the U.S. Sounds of shofar and prayers for the peace of Jerusalem were heard ceaselessly in Jewish and many other languages.
