Israel Conference 2026: Standing Together for Israel
NHOP announces its Israel Conference in Toronto, June 8-9, 2026, bringing Christians and Jews together to explore biblical perspectives on Israel and pray for its peace.
What happened
The National House of Prayer has announced its Israel Conference, to be held in Toronto on June 8-9, 2026. NHOP describes the gathering as bringing Christians and Jews together to address rising hostility toward Israel and to explore biblical perspectives on the Jewish state, its covenants, and the Church's relationship to it. The invitation is extended broadly, to pastors, leaders, rabbis, Jewish organizations, intercessors, and everyday believers. For readers who pray for Israel, the conference is presented as an opportunity for visible solidarity and for grounding that solidarity in Scripture rather than in politics.
Original reporting
Why it matters
Gatherings that bring Christians and Jews together around Israel matter because they move prayer into relationship. When believers learn the biblical foundations of God's covenant faithfulness, their intercession becomes informed and humble rather than reactive. NHOP frames the conference as a space to confront replacement thinking and to build genuine friendship with the Jewish community. That posture, Scripture-shaped, relational, and non-partisan, is the kind of engagement this site seeks to encourage: prayer that leads to presence, and presence that is rooted in truth.
Scripture
Psalm 133:1
In this song of ascents, David exclaims how good and pleasant it is when God's people dwell together in unity. The verse captures the blessing of the shared solidarity between Christians and Jews that the conference seeks to foster.
Ways to pray
- Pray for the Israel Conference in Toronto, that it would foster genuine understanding and visible solidarity between Christians and Jews.
- Pray that all who gather would ground their love for Israel in Scripture, rejecting replacement thinking and every form of contempt.
- Pray for friendships and alliances to form between believers and the Jewish community that endure well beyond the event itself.
- Pray for the peace and protection of Israel and for Jewish communities in Canada and around the world.
A short prayer
Lord, bless those who gather in Toronto to seek Your heart for Israel. Root our love for Your people in Your Word, turn prayer into lasting friendship, and let Your peace rest on Israel and on all who call on You. Amen.
Prayer becomes more faithful when it stays connected to real people and real events.
