Episode 83: Pray For Israel By Name with Michael Mistretta of FIRM

Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping Jews make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

In this episode, we're honored to sit down with Michael Mistretta from FIRM, the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries. FIRM is an incredible organization that is changing lives on the ground in Israel, especially during these tumultuous times.

They've recently launched a deeply moving campaign: Pray for Israel By Name. It's an initiative that calls us all to pray for hostages by writing their names on the palms of our hands, inspired by the powerful words in Isaiah 49:16, "...I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands."

Feeling helpless about the situation in Israel? You're not alone. With a staggering death toll and 200 hostages kidnapped by terrorists at this time, we all feel a sense of urgency. But remember, each statistic is a human being, someone who's dearly missed and prayed for.

Prayer is the best way we can join God in a rescue mission, right from where we are. When Isaiah wondered if God had forgotten Israel, God reassured him, saying, "...I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands."

And the power of collective prayer is real. Just last week, 30 missing people were found safe. Even more miraculously, a mother named Avital and her two children managed to escape their kidnapper in the Gaza Strip and return to Israel safely on foot. We believe that your prayers can make a difference in bringing more people home.

Alongside this impactful campaign, we'll also learn more about Michael's own story. How did a man born in Canada end up in Israel? What has been the transformative work in his heart? Tune in to find out more.

So, will you join us and commit to Pray for Israel By Name? Your prayers are more powerful than you might think. Find out more about FIRM and this campaign by going to prayforisraelbyname.com.
