According to a WorldNetDaily report, event organizers from Time Square Church had expected about 15,000 to attend but their expectations “were far exceeded at the third event of its kind in the last three years.”

Said Carter Conlon, pastor of the Times Square Church: “The Lord called us to host, fund and organize this event for the last three years. He told us that the first year would establish credibility with the city, and we have received positive feedback from various city agencies, including the office of the Mayor himself, commending us for honesty, order, and keeping our word. The second year confirmed to local churches that this was not the beginning of some new ministry but rather a gathering for the sole purpose of one hour of prayer, in humility, with all denominations represented and no personalities or ministry showcased. Those who have attended can attest to the fact that this has been so. Everything has unfolded exactly as the Lord impressed upon our hearts it would.”

Global Effort to Get World in Touch With the Bible Centered in Jerusalem

“This is a very meaningful project for millions of Christians around the world, and it can attract more support for Israel and the Jewish people, because people who know the Bible become closer to Judaism and Israel.”
(Israel)—There is currently a world-wide interfaith effort, initiated by the Bible Valley Society, to handwrite 100 Bibles in various native languages and display them at the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem. As reported in The Jerusalem Post, the project—which so far has involved thousands of people from about 31 different countries—is meant to “create bridges between cultures and faiths united by love and reverence for the Bible.” (Photo: Kfir Meor/Jpost)
“This project is a leap into the future,” said Amanda Weiss, managing director of the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. “It will bring people more in touch with the Bible, whether they are religious or secular, Christian, Muslim or Jewish.”

“This is a very meaningful project for millions of Christians around the world, and it can attract more support for Israel and the Jewish people, because people who know the Bible become closer to Judaism and Israel,” said Terry G.C. Ting, Taiwan’s representative to Israel. “I believe that the Bible is a bridge of sorts.”

Noting that he believes the Bibles “should eventually form a traveling exhibition around the globe similar to how Christianity was spread from Jerusalem two millennia ago,” Ting added, “Christians are an important asset for Israel.”
