God, the Jews and Israel

Links to resources to equip those who pray for Israel and the Jewish people.


Balfour PackPreface: The year 2017 marked the centenary of Britain's 'Balfour Declaration' which set the scene for the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948. To mark the 100th anniversary of the UK Government's formal support for a Jewish land, a group of believers in Scotland produced 500 copies of a 'Balfour pack' which was distributed to church leaders and interested parties. The pack consisted of both original and pre-existing material in paper and digital form.
The following links provide access to most of the material plus links to other resources.
