About
Jerusalem Prayer Team’s mission is to comfort God’s Chosen People and combat anti-Semitism. We deliver urgently needed food, clothing, medicine, water, shelter, and more to suffering Jewish people in both Israel and Ukraine. Our purpose is to show true Christian love in action at a time when so many are turning their backs on Israel. This work is part of God’s 100-Year Plan to stand with the Jewish people, strengthen Israel, and confront anti-Semitism for generations to come.
Jerusalem Prayer Team is made up of tens of millions of Believers who together are obeying the command of Psalm 122:6 to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” To fight the deadly scourge of anti-Semitism, we have launched the Ambassador Institute to train leaders to be effective voices in supporting and defending the Jewish state and the Jewish people. We give them tools and training especially targeted at reaching young people, the group that has turned against Israel the most. We have a major presence on social media, speaking out against the lies and spreading the truth.

On July 13, 2007, Evans appeared on MSNBC debating with Arianna Huffington and Pat Buchannan while discussing his book, The Final Move Beyond Iraq.

Fob James, Former Governor of Alabama
“I know of no evangelical leader who has worked harder and stood more courageously beside the Jewish people. If there is any evangelical leader in America who understands the dilemma facing the city of Jerusalem and is knowledgeable on how to mobilize praying, God-fearing Americans to do something about it, it is Mike Evans. I consider him my friend, and more importantly, a friend of the nation of Israel.”
