United for Life! Together into the Future
May 31 to June 3, 2026
March of the Nations 2026
Since 2018, the March of the Nations has been held annually in Jerusalem. It brings together Christians from around the world to show their friendship and support for Israel. The international conference includes prayer, worship, and biblical teachings. A special highlight is the festive gala night, during which Israel and Israeli guests are honored. Afterwards, participants take part in marches and encounter events in cities across the country. There, they meet Holocaust survivors, soldiers, and others affected by October 7, carrying the message of friendship with Israel into society.
‘Peace, peace, to those far and near,’ says the Lord. ‘And I will heal them.’ (Is 57:19; NIV)
After two years of war and the release of the living hostages, there is great hope for peace and a new era in Israel. But the wounds of war run deep, the shock of the wave of global hatred toward Israel remains, and the chances for lasting peace are still uncertain. During this time, Israel needs allies and friends who will stand by her side regardless of political developments!
The March of the Nations calls Christians from all nations to Israel. Many of them raise their voices for Israel with Marches of Life in their own nations, and many have confronted the painful history of antisemitism in their own families and churches. They express trough times of intense prayer and worship in Jerusalem: Peace and healing come from the LORD, the God of Israel! Through public marches in numerous cities and encounter events all throughout Israel, they show the local people: You are not alone – we are United for Life!
The March of the Nations includes extraordinary elements that make it an unforgettable experience:
