CBN News interviewed Albert Veksler, global director and co-founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast (JPB), a global initiative fostering international support for Israel. Established in 2017 with former Israeli Knesset Member Robert Ilatov, the JPB unites political, religious, and civic leaders from around the world to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, inspired by Psalm 122:6. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure.’”
Under Veksler’s leadership, the JPB has expanded globally, hosting events in Jerusalem, New York, Oslo, Mar-a-Lago, and more. These gatherings draw hundreds of delegates, including American lawmakers, Knesset members, and international officials.
In light of rising antisemitism and ongoing conflict, Veksler stresses the urgency of unified prayer. He sees the JPB as a vital platform for nations to stand with Israel and challenge the hostile narratives often heard at forums like the United Nations.
His vision goes further — to rally 600 million evangelical Christians worldwide in support of Israel by strengthening shared biblical values and interfaith relationships. The impact has already been seen in concrete steps, such as diplomatic moves to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“The moment is a miracle,” Veksler says, reflecting on the power of prayer, unity, and purpose in such a critical time.
