The ICEJ was established in 1980 to act as an embassy for Christians in Jerusalem. Each year, Christians from around the world gather in Jerusalem during the Feast of Tabernacles to worship God and comfort the people of Israel through their presence, prayers, and support. The individual will need approximately $2,200 to cover expenses including airfare, accommodations, and transportation for their two weeks to one month of service. Support is requested to help cover these costs and support their ministry in Jerusalem.
