This past week Marilyn and I were able to attend two very significant meetings here in Parliament Hill. We are in meetings all the time, but these two were really really quite special. Uh the first one we got to meet the new director of the B'nai B'rith, Simon Wall, at an event on Parliament Hill. And there again, our friends were there, the Jewish community were there, some leaders were there, and of course mar- members of Parliament and ambassadors. It was a really great meeting and it was great to connect with Simon because we were looking forward to building with that organization. The second meeting we were in was the 78th anniversary of the independence of

Israel. And so, we were able to again attend a special event on Parliament Hill at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, actually, uh hosted by Israeli Ambassador Eitan Moyed and his staff. It was a great event. There were many leaders, of course, parliamentarians, uh ambassadors, uh people in the in the Jewish community, organizations in the Jewish community, and some Christian leaders like us were a part of that celebration. It was great to be there. It is great to be working on behalf of the purposes of God for in Canada and Israel. So, it was a great time to be there. So, I want to tell you about something that's coming up very very shortly, not that far away,

and it's the Israel Conference. Last year we had an Israel Conference here in Ottawa, greatly attended, close to 300 rabbis and pastors and intercessors and prayer people that were at this event. It was a great event and we talked about anti-Semitism and how to build alliances betwee- with um with the Jewish community, how to come along and be a good friend. So, this year we are focusing in Toronto something similar, but we want to talk about Zionism as the new anti-Semitism. And of course, we want to talk about replacement theology. And give a biblical perspective of what the word said, what the scripture says about Israel today, Israel back then, that covenants, and how they're all

connected, and how we fit in. So, you'd really want to be there. So, we're inviting this to pastors, leaders, rabbis, Jewish organizations, and people just like you. Just regular folks, intercessors, doesn't matter, we want everybody to come. It'll be in Toronto. Details are in the prayer stream report. You'll see them. You can click. We don't let the the event out until the very last, because you know, when you're walking with the Jewish community, they know this, there will be people that will try to to disrupt and things like that. So, sign up and ask for an invitation. We'll invite you and uh and uh we'll take it from there. So, anyway, that those are the That's the

first little bit I want to talk to you about. Now, this next little thing is we are going to have a celebration this fall, October 1st and 2nd. Um in here in Ottawa. And it is our 26th anniversary. 26 years since Rob Parker, Rob and Fran walked across the nation from Calgary to Ottawa, Ottawa, doing a prayer walk from there. So, we've invited Rob and Fran to come and share. And we're going to have a great celebration commemorating this time, but also to share what we feel the Lord is speaking to Canada and to us as the prayer in the prayer movement on how to pray for the nation, how to carry the nation. And then we really feel it's important that we're pressing in on the

fear of the Lord. So, details will will coming out shortly. Please, please, please put it in your calendar. We would love to see you. We want to celebrate. We want to remember and we want to move forward. I'm Chris Byrnes, the director of the National House of Prayer, and we'll see you next time. Bye for now. >> [music]
