Northern Ireland Friends of Israel Pray for Israel

The Northern Ireland Friends of Israel

One of the leaders of the Northern Ireland Friends of Israel https://nifriendsofisrael.wordpress.com/ wrote me on April 6: "The folk in our monthly prayer group have been praying for Israel as part of a Global Prayer Call involving 100 days of prayer for Israel. The 100 days are between January 27 (liberation of Auschwitz) and May 8 (end of WWII). Different folk have taken on days so we have all 100 days covered; it is not that we will be praying for Israel for 24 hours on any day but certainly with this being a worldwide venture, I reckon most of the 24 hours will be covered.
