Jerusalem

Israel

Jerusalem, a holy site of pilgrimage for the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is a hotbed for religious and ethnic conflict, as well as geopolitical positioning. Jews are seen pressing up against the wailing wall in anticipation of the coming Messiah who will rebuild the temple, while Muslims visit the site where they believe Muhammed ascended to heaven and was given requirements for prayer and pilgrimage.

Simultaneously, Christians are found touring the sites of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. There is much that attracts in Jerusalem, and despite an average of over 3 million tourists visiting the city yearly, the region has struggled to attain peace due to deep cultural and political rifts that has divided Israel from their neighboring countries.

Add rich diversity and 39 languages to the mix and the stage is officially set for a movement of God that will not only heal and transform the city, but turn the region on its head.
