EnglishWhat Kind of Content Is on the Jerusalem Prayer Team Blog?
Updated
The Jerusalem Prayer Team blog is a devotional and teaching blog written primarily by Dr. Mike Evans, the ministry's founder. Posts combine personal stories from his life with biblical reflection, usually anchored in a Scripture passage, and are designed to encourage prayer and faith rather than to report news or offer formal Bible study curriculum. The blog appears on the ministry's homepage under the heading "From the Blog," with entries dated roughly every two weeks.
Who writes the blog
Nearly every listed post is attributed to Dr. Mike Evans. The homepage excerpt shows his byline on all seven visible entries, spanning July through October 2026. The topics reflect his role as the ministry's public voice: prayer, trust in God, and the biblical case for blessing Israel.
What the posts cover
The visible entries show a consistent pattern of themes:
| Theme | Example post | What the post does |
|---|---|---|
| Prayer and persistence | "Prayer Changes Things" | Opens with a personal airport encounter and moves to a lesson on prayer |
| Learning through failure | "A Painful Lesson I Needed to Learn" | Recalls visiting a large church in Korea in the 1970s and what he observed about fervent prayer |
| Expecting God to act | "Looking for the Unexpected from the God of the Impossible" | Retells the story of Naaman from 2 Kings and draws out its application |
| Spiritual reflection habits | "Do You Keep a Dream Journal?" | Encourages readers to write down their dreams and hopes rather than only think about them |
| Blessing, cursing, and Israel | "Blessings and Curses" | Uses Psalm 128:5 and Zechariah 2:8 to teach on God's warning about offending Israel |
| Courage in crisis | "For Such a Time as This" | Tells the story of Esther and her decision to act |
| Trusting God's timing | "Divine Disappointments" | Begins with a personal medical episode (neck tremors during an eye exam) and reflects on disappointment |
Two features stand out. First, most posts open with a first-person anecdote—an airport in Rome, an army posting in Korea, an optometrist's office—and then turn to a biblical text. Second, the teaching consistently connects back to the ministry's stated purpose of praying for the peace of Jerusalem and standing with the Jewish people, as in "Blessings and Curses."
What the blog is not
The posts are short devotional reflections, not long-form articles, sermons, or academic commentary. The homepage shows only an opening paragraph of each entry with a "read more" link, so the full text sits on individual post pages. There is no visible indication of a separate author roster, editorial policy, or comment section in the provided material.
How to use it
If you want a short daily or weekly reading that pairs a personal story with a Scripture, the blog fits that purpose. Start with the most recent post and work backward; the archive shown runs from July 2026 to October 2026. If you are looking for the ministry's prayer meetings, museum, or donation information, those are separate sections of the site rather than part of the blog.
