On November 11th 2011 believers around the world gathered in multiple locations in order to pray and worship the Living God. Avi was invited to the Rose Bowl Gathering: A Line in the Sand, as a representative of Israel and the Jewish People. Many of our ministry friends came with the Israeli delegation, including 6 members of Adonai Roi Congregation. In all, over 25,000 people gathered at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and prayed for nearly 12 hours, 10am to 10pm.
     On 11-11-11, after nearly 6 hours of intercession and praise, the Israeli delegation was led to the stage. Avi joined 70 trumpeters calling for the presence of God with the sound of the shofar (ram’s horn). Each ministry representative was then given a few minutes to pray for the USA. It was an honor for the few Israeli pastors and leaders to participate in this event. We, in Israel, are always encouraged to see believers from the nations come and pray for us, and it was a great opportunity for us as Israelis to come to the United States and pray for America and the nations!
     Avi began his time with a short prayer welcoming God in Hebrew and prayed fervently for the Believing Body in the US to have boldness with the Gospel of Messiah:
     “Abba Father, I come before you and I want thank you Lord that the Gospel came out from Jerusalem to Jaffa, and from Jaffa to Cornelius in Caesarea (a Roman Naval Headquarters), and to the nations.  And Lord, I pray for the American people. I pray that they will not compromise with the Gospel. I pray for boldness. I pray Abba Father that you will raise up men and women of God that will not compromise, will not try to be politically correct, but will stand, and stand for righteousness in this country. They will speak the truth, they will preach the Gospel, and they will not be ashamed, because we are not ashamed. “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.”(Romans 1:16)  I thank you Lord that you want to use again and again the United States of America and the Believers in this country to stand up with boldness, for righteousness, for Your Kingdom. In Yeshua’s name, Amen”
     The delegation closed their time with the Aaronic Benediction, praying for the Lord’s protection and peace, just as the priests of the Temple were commanded to bless the nation of Israel in Numbers 6:23-26: “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”

Pray with us that the Body of Messiah worldwide, Jew and Gentile, may be bold with the Gospel of the Lord!
