Date: Every Sunday from June 7th till August 23rd When: 17:00 - 19:00 (children dismissed from the adult worship service to their programs)

This note is being written on the eve of the third anniversary of the Pavilion Prayer Tower, Shavuot (Pentecost) May 28th -29th.

“This year you will eat only what grows up by itself, and the next year you will eat what springs up from that, and in the third year you will plant crops and vineyards and eat their fruit.”

2 Kings 19:29

At this time we recall the grace of the Lord over The Prayer Tower, and all the faithful watchmen He has sent to establish firm foundations of the Word and Worship in this House. Each one has released their anointing and gifting, and has been an integral part of the secure building blocks of this House of Prayer.

As we come to celebrate our third anniversary, we are rejoicing in the amazing fruit that is marking this celebration.

Our first School of Prayer, with 35 students, is being birthed for10 days from Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia.

We are shifting our monthly corporate gathering to worship the King, and welcome Him back to Jerusalem, from The Prayer Room to the larger Pavilion venue on May 23rd.

“Praise is waiting for Him in Zion.”

Psalm 65:1

Shavuot night, Thursday May 28th, we have a full corporate night Watch 22.00-06.00 in the Prayer Tower joining with the Nations to stand by night in the House of the Lord to Bless His Name.

With thankful hearts for His fruitfulness breaking forth this year.

Come, taste and see that the Lord is good.

You are most welcome to join us on any of these celebrations.

Hag Samaech from The Prayer Tower Team,

We are so thrilled to announce the birthing of a new ministry of King of Kings Ministries. You may notice at the top of this webpage a new icon, a crown, and next to it the words Media School. That is a link to the King’s School of Media. Our vision for KSM is to create a setting where our students will not just learn, but experience hands on production in a real world environment, and then leave equipped with not just the knowledge of the business, but a full production reel of broadcast projects. And in the core of all their training is several hours a week of discipleship, provoking them to become salt and light, whether they go into ministry or seek to be a agent of change in the secular world. 

Our motivation is to train up Israeli believers with the tools of film and television, so that they can share the message of Yeshua to our people through the most powerful form of communication available. We live in a unique era, where wars are fought not merely on the battlefield but Youtube and Facebook. It is essential that we are equipped to contend for the gospel via the internet. Even standard television is becoming obsolete in favor of what is being termed the “new media” — the internet. 

In an effort to be a blessing to the local believing community here in Israel, King's School of Media is offering huge scholarships for believers permanently living in the Land, covering nearly all of tuition for qualifying candidates. 

Israelis would simply pay for room and board. As well, we will be spending much of our time creating relevant resources in Hebrew and English for the Messianic community here in Israel and around the world.  We believe that through the arts, film, and the internet we have a powerful tool to reach the lost with the message of the Messiah, and that that message can be shared and distributed free of charge for the whole body to share.

King’s School of Media covers Digital Arts & Design, Production management, Film, Graphic Design, Media Design, Recording Arts, Show Production & Touring, and Web Design & Development. Our goal is to give each student a rounded experience of the business while helping them discover and develop their strengths.  It’s a two-year program with class enrollment in August and January (for Israeli citizens we’ll be flexible with army duty.). The School will also be continually involved in creating content for and running different shows and events coming through the Pavilion production company getting experience in live stage and television production, on location shooting and producing, editing for international Christian network TV shows and much more as the program develops.  We’ll also be taking them on real world encounters traveling to Europe visiting major production facilities and attending film festivals. Other opportunities will be to take teams to Israeli New Age festivals to contend for the faith, as well as international outreaches in place like Africa and India.

About the Director:

Eight years ago Greg Williams received the call to produce and direct film and television and God quickly set him on the fast track learning hands on while working for a small production company in Texas.  He then moved on to teach film and television at the Center for Creative Media based in Teen Mania Ministries.  They started with only eight students and two staff members. Greg left the ministry in good hands with twelve full time staff and 80 students producing high quality broadcast TV and music videos for Casting Crowns, Skillet, Pillar, and KJ-52.  

Some of Greg’s students have gone on to have successful careers in the secular and christian world; Media Director of IHOP KC, DP for MTV, editors working for ABC, VH1, and GodTV, and some working with various missions organizations. While Greg was at the school he oversaw the marketing, operational structure, directed and produced their large projects and music videos, He also served as the Art director of the program.  About three years into building the program he sensed the Lord calling him to move to Israel, to help Israeli believers fulfill their potential in media. 

Today we tend to build our tents (permanent homes) and pitch our altars.  What should be permanent in our lives – our faith, commitments to God, and our covenant relationships with others have become temporary.  We stay in committed relationships when it’s comfortable to do so, and we move on when the discomfort becomes too much for us.  But God is looking for women who will be faithful at all costs! He wants His people to be as committed as He is!  He wants us committed to our spouses, our families and friends, and our congregations!

Do not let your home, material possessions and lifestyle prevent you from following Jesus wherever He leads you. We are called to be spiritual sojourners, not spiritual squatters. We must fight the tendency to prefer security to availability.  Always be going forward with the Lord. We are pilgrims through this life, so our values should reflect our eternal Home. The Lord calls us to go from faith to more faith, from strength to more strength, and from glory to more glory!

God is not as interested in our perfecting the jobs or ministries we function in as He is in perfecting the character of His Son in us!  He will move us from an area of service that we do well into something new and challenging to get us dependent on Him again. He may move us from a congregation where we are at ease to help a new congregation where we have to start all over.  He wants us to abide in Him all the time, and not be so comfortable that we do not need Him as we once did.

2 Timothy 2:13 says, “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself.”  Truth, stability and faithfulness are built into God’s character.  He cannot help but be 100% true and faithful.  How reassuring to belong to a God like that!  And what a challenge for us to be the same!  That is our calling and destiny!

If you want to join the women who are meeting on Wednesday evenings to study the Sermon on the Mount, please come to the Pavilion Prayer Tower (14th floor, Clal building).  We would love to see you there.  We meet from 6:30-8:30 PM. We are in the process of becoming more like Jesus as we hear and apply His Word to our lives, and share our hearts and burdens with one another for prayer.  This is a place to grow spiritually and to develop committed relationships with your sisters in the Lord!

Don't want to miss anything coming out of Jerusalem? Well, we've now got a couple of podcasts for our weekly sermons and Torah Portions.

We plan to expand our RSS feed and podcast repritoire as time goes on with things like video podcasts for both the sermons and Torah Portions, as well as adding Israel News and Views episodes. Watch this space!

To make use of this feature, just start playing a video. Once the file has begun to play, move the mouse over the player and you'll see a control bar appear towards the bottom. Click anywhere along the progress bar, and after a short period of buffering, the video will begin playback from the point you selected - great for showing someone that specific segment from last week's sermon!

Please note: This feature requires that the video file be created with "keyframes", which we have done since the beginning of 2008. Unfortunately, our videos from earlier than Jan. 2008 were created using a different method, and are missing these "keyframes". These older videos can only be played linearly, without the ability to "fast-forward".

We believe we have adjusted everything on the site accordingly; if you run across any problems related to this change - or anything else - please contact us and we'll look into it. Thanks!

This Yom Kippur traffic is not the usual traffic one would expect to see on the streets of a big city. Hard as it may be to imagine, this traffic is even more chaotic than the usual traffic. The majority of these drivers have no license. They obey no rules. They even completely disregard which side of the street they should drive on.

You see, with the exception of emergency vehicles (and the occasional vehicle from a nearby Arab village), this traffic is composed almost entirely of children. On tricycles and bicycles, rollerblades and skates, in strollers and on foot, the children of the city take to the streets - an incredible sight to see.

You can watch this transformation of the streets on our webcam, where you'll see Jaffa St. - one of the busiest streets in Jerusalem - become empty of cars and buses. You probably won't be able to see the children playing in the street, since the webcam is 17 stories above ground level, but the lack of vehicles should be easy to see. Go take a peek!
