A Stand with Israel rally, one of dozens held nationwide Wednesday, took place at the Prayer Hill Church of God, Wheeling WV.
After a short worship/praise service and a video presentation, speaker Daryl Stapleton of Matheny WV, MinistrytoIsrael.com, spoke on why it was important for Christians to support Israel. Stapleton related several stories about traveling to Israel and his interactions with political representatives in Washington, D.C. over supporting Israel.
Several exhibits/tables were open to the public, including one featuring the Holocaust and another entitled, “Voice of the Martyrs.”
As they entered the church, visitors were given a number, which represented a Jewish inmate at a WWII concentration camp. At the end of the rally, participants checked their number to discover whether their alter ego “survived” or not.
The rally was preceded by a bake sale and dinner.
The event was attended by approximately 150-200 people.
