“Build up, build up, prepare the way, Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.” (Isaiah 57:14)
Preparing the way is the work of the whole community. Therefore, our seven weeks of prayer open with preparing ourselves, and then focus on different groups within our multigenerational Messianic Jewish community, praying that we all prepare the way to welcome Messiah home.
Be sure to set aside at least a dollar each day for the special Shavuot offering on the fiftieth day, which will go 50-50 to multigenerational efforts in Israel and within the UMJC.
