The popular Instapray application has partnered with the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ), the largest global, grass-roots prayer movement focused on prayer for Jerusalem. This year more than 500,000 congregations in 175 nations are planning to join in prayer for Jerusalem on Sunday.
This prayer movement has no political or denominational affiliation; rather, it seeks to reflect God’s love and redemptive purpose for all people groups in the Jerusalem region by taking the time to pray for God’s peace and blessings on Jerusalem and all of her inhabitants.
Throughout the last month, believers from around the world were able to pray for the peace of Jerusalem right from their mobile phone by using Instapray, the world’s leading mobile prayer application. Instapray is a new social network that connects people of all different ages, cultures and backgrounds in prayer around specific congregations, topics or locations.
Instapray members post prayers and prayer requests that can instantly be read, prayed for and responded to by users in more than 195 countries. Instapray members are able to add pictures, hashtags and mentions to their prayers. This year prayers tagged for the peace of Jerusalem with #DPPJ will be archived together so that users can access these requests from various areas of the world.
“Our goal has always been to mobilize Christians around the world to fulfill our biblical mandate from Psalm 122:6 to ‘pray for the peace of Jerusalem,'” says Robert Stearns, founder and co-chairman of DPPJ. “This partnership with Instapray will open up a new avenue for believers to lift up prayer in this critical moment in our world.”
Instapray founder and CEO Fryderyk Ovcaric adds: “Our mission is to make the world a better place by facilitating exchanges of inspiration, compassion and care among people through prayers. We are happy to facilitate prayers for peace in the Middle East and hope that our technology platform can have a meaningful impact on mankind, spreading love, respect and support around the world.”
